Apricots

Chapter 45

Alexis walked into the private eye office to meet up with Hayley talking to a new client on the phone. Looking up from the phone, Hayley had finished talking to the client in the Bronx. "How's you're father doing?"

Alexis moved in closer to be standing in front of the desk in the back of the office having to be their safe haven for the most part.

"He's recovering and cranky as hell! Do you know that my father is thinking of divorcing Kate?" Alexis will throw this at Hayley with the Intel.

Shrugging off her shoulders..." Really! I doubt it that he will go through with it since Beckett had a prenup with Castle in case it comes to this point with a divorce?" she will say to Castle's daughter.

"I will agree with you on that point of it along with costing a great deal of money with the divorce. I have a feeling that this is all an act between the both of them to throw off the real killer off its track?" Alexis explained...

Alexis took out a letter written by both Castle and Beckett explaining the entire situation to find the real killer from the very start of the undercover operation. She hands the letter to Hayley to read.

"Do Esposito and Ryan know anything about this letter?" Hayley croaked out with her question.

Shaking her head. "Not a word of the letter with everyone involved thinks that my father and Beckett are on the outs." Alexis needed to have said to Hayley not believing what she was reading...

"This is going to be amazing for when the truth finally comes out about the marriage on the skids?" Hayley will tell Alexis sitting down needing to get to work on the case with her father asking.

"Yeah, I know. Now I need to call the Medical Examiner with Doctor Perlmutter doing the autopsy on Flowers with her body being found." Alexis picked up the phone to call the office.

Doctor Syndey Perlmutter was exhausted after finishing up his autopsy on the body of Angela Martine aka Flowers age 27 years old, divorced with one daughter name Tessa living with her parents in New York City.

The parents were given the news about their daughter coming down to the medical examiner's office in Manhattan. While he was waiting for them to arrive in his office finishing up the report for Beckett and the police Commissioner Nevins.

Gerald the assistant for Doctor Perlmutter knocked on the door to tell him that the parents have arrived.

"I will be right there Gerald." he will tell him with a loud yawn and disgust with his demeanor.

Mr. and Mrs. Joel & Suzanne Martine with red eyes having been given the news. It was only a formality to let them know that it was Angela Martine(single name).

They were standing near the window of where Angela Martine had been placed onto the table. "Are you ready for this?" he croaked out with Joel holding onto his wife of 35 years of marriage.

In unison. "We are ready right now to get it over with."

Doctor Perlmutter indicated for Gerald to open the blinds to see her body covered up to her shoulders as part of the privacy rules.

Crying from the both of them. "It's her, doctor." as they needed to get out of autopsy bay right away for some fresh air.
