Quietness of the shadows
Chapter 17th
Captain Kate Beckett was having a hard time trying to sleep once her husband had driven them back to the loft very late. She was still angry at him and told him to sleep in his office for now.
She didn't bother to remove her clothing even though she did remove heels from the evening at the Diamond exchange. Richard Castle moped into his office with changing into his short and black tee that he keeps in his office for times like these.
Settling on down to try and sleep. He laid a few moments going over the details of the evening before drifting off...
Moments later in the bedroom.
Captain Beckett jumped when she heard her cell-phone go off knowing full well just who it just might be at this late hour. She moved over the side of her bed to grab her cell from the small table with her hand just missing the small lamp from falling to the rug.
"Beckett! What's the word Captain Anderson?" She stated trying to wake up from the lack of sleep.
"We have them Kate. Franklins and the two hoodlums that murdered Janice. However there is something else to add into account of the case." He said from the alcove of his office as the bullpen was jumping from the word of the arrests.
"And what's that Captain?" Kate was curious with needing to asked the dangerous question. She moved off the queen size bed looking at the time once more.
"The detectives found another dead body in the apartment of the two that murdered Janice." He said with looking down at the rest of the info from the coroner calling it in to his office.
"Do you happen to have a name to this dead body?" She asked with a shiver now of a sudden moving throughout her lanky frame after all of these years, three children and a crazy mystery writer as a husband.
"It's Janice's sister June Michaels(Changed her last name) having to been working in the lawyer's office with Alexis having taken over her spot for the undercover operation."
"DAMN! Now they are really playing hard ball with the diamond operation. Captain Anderson, I will changing into my street clothes to have Castle drive me in so that I can interrogate Franklins. I suggest you have someone that can be trusted to interrogate the two from the apartment complex." Beckett ordered with hearing noises in the background with those working in the bullpen at this late hour reacted to seeing Franklins arriving onto the floor.
"I will see to it Captain Beckett. By the way has the Police Commissioner Nevins been informed?" This was a sore spot with her and even with Richard Castle.
"No, I suggest since your there in the alcove office, I suggest you make a quick call with leaving a message on his office voicemail and at home." She hung up the phone heading for Castle's office.
There was a loud knock on his door making him jump up from his grey couch quickly. "What the hell Kate! What do you think you're doing?" Castle was both angry and confused at the same time.
"You're driving me to the precinct after we both change into fresh clothing. They have Franklins and the two that murdered Janice. Next is going to be the District Attorney, Jordan Norton and his sidekick Samuels."
Castle didn't say a further word with moving up from the couch to head into the bedroom to change. First off Beckett had to alert the nanny and the housekeeper having been in the loft for the past 36 hours getting the Christmas spirit into the loft.

District Attorney and his wife having had sex a few moments ago. He had decided to get up and take a shower before heading into his office for most of the morning. He had only one court session sometime in the afternoon.
The doorbell was going off at the front door of the apartment complex. Detectives from the morning watch Detectives Sergeant Esposito and Kevin Ryan having been asked early to work with driving on over to James Vector's apartment in Manhattan.
With her husband in the shower. June had gotten up to answer the door with placing on her nightgown and purple robe, along with the purple satin slippers. She was very curious as to why someone would be ringing the doorbell at this early hour.
Moving into the spacious living room. June opened the door to see two men with badges asking to see the district Attorney James Vector.
"Gentlemen, please tell me why you wish to speak with my husband?" She was very insisted making Kevin Ryan somewhat nervous with the question.
"We are here to arrest your husband for a number of crimes against the state of New York and the implication of possible murder charges. Now if you will tell us where he is right now. We will be forced to come inside and begin searching." Esposito using his threatening tone of voice to finally crack her hard nut to tell them that he was in the shower.
"We will wait outside in the living room until he's done. There are backup officers as well in case he tries to run away from us? " Ryan relayed the the information to the wife of James Vector.
Moments later the District Attorney came out of the shower dressed and right away knew what was going on with the police being here in the first place.
"Gentlemen, I see that my time as a D.A. is over with. I won't give you any trouble with going to the police station. I plan on giving a full statement on what I have been involved the past few months. There are some in the organization involved with the moving of the diamonds would want to see me dead with giving state's evidence." He announced with his wife really disappointed in her husband with walking away to head into the bedroom to make some calls to high influence people in New York City.
"It's going to be up to Captain Beckett and the Police Commissioner to decide on your level of information given. Maybe they will be able to talk to the Witness Protection Program with trying to make a deal." Sergeant Esposito said with asking Ryan to place the cuffs on Vector to check up on his wife in the bedroom.
After seeing that she was talking on the phone with someone in Albany, New York. He didn't bother any further. His priority was to bring him in safe and sound into the 12th precinct.
