Apricots

Chapter 34

Thirty minutes later Esposito, Ryan, and four others in their vehicles were heading for the hotel not too far from the Nexus Sex Club. Captain Anderson decided to call Captain Beckett at home to give her the heads up.

Beckett was sitting up in bed for when her phone had gone off since she wasn't really asleep. "Are you serious Jose?" she barked out over the phone. "I just don't understand as to why he will be this stupid to be pulling off this stunt?" she was moving off the bed to began dressing...

"I don't either Captain. Nevertheless, the killer we think is next door with another possible victim." he will say to her with a serious demeanor.

"Who is this possible victim Captain?" she will ask with a cocky attitude.

"Flowers one of the dancers for the Club Captain. I have sent over a team to investigate with them to be calling me with any or no updates." Captain Anderson needed to say with his retort.

"Okay, keep me updated since I have been told by you to stay out of this for now until I am able to get a report from you or others." she hangs up the phone angry as hell that she has to wait it out for now...

Meanwhile at the hotel with Madison and Flowers.

Madison was drunk further from the champagne and other drinks with Flowers moving away from him with his drunken stupor. "Stop Joey, you're hurting me with your manhandling?" she was grabbed by him with his hands placing his hands around her throat.

She screamed out as he was trying to kill the woman with his bare hands instead of the switchblade...Though this time Madison moved over to his jacket sitting on the chair to pull out his colt 45 that he keeps as a safe keep.

"OMG! No Joey don't!" she screamed out as Joey fired along with the front door being kicked down by Richard Castle firing his own sig before getting hit twice in the right shoulder and right leg killing Madison into the head dropping to the rug and Flowers screaming at the sight of both men bleeding cryptically.

Castle cried out for any type of help into the corridor. When all of a sudden Esposito and Ryan along with Captain Anderson arrived onto the scene seeing the scene before them. "CALL 911!" Captain Anderson will say to them with checking for a pulse for both men. Bending down..."Castle is still alive the crazy fool!"
