Apricots
Chapter 46
Gerald had covered up the body to be placed back into the cooler. While the parents had let the medical examiner's office head on home to make funeral plans for their daughter.
And in the meantime, the press had gotten wind of the new copycat killer on the loose. Police Commissioner Nevins needed to set up a press conference telling the reporters to try and keep it on the down-low so as not to cause a city-wide panic.
Sitting in his office going over his speech. His press secretary Joel Mathews came into his office with the final copy of the speech. Nevins looked up at Mathews notching a cut on the side of his face all of the sudden.
"Thanks. By the way what happened to your face?" he will say to him having worked for him for the past eight months.
Coughing slightly..."I was cleaning the attic of my house looking for something special when I didn't notice the wood slightly out to cut the right side. Right away I decided to head for the emergency room to be attended to with a number of shots as well to help stop any type of infection." he will have said with a crooked smile.
"I hope not!" Nevins commented with looking down again at his speech.
"I will leave you to your reading letting me know in regard to any possible changes?" Joel will walk out of his office to head back to his own work.

Joel went back to his office to take a further look at the cut on his face after killing the god damn woman Angela Martine(Flowers). It really wasn't all that bad as it had looked earlier...

However, now there was another copycat killer on the loose to make matters worst with the public screaming for action.
There was a knock on his hospital door when a young redhead with a walker walked in with her clipboard to speak with Castle to set up with the exercises before anything else. "Mr. Castle, I am here to get you started with the exercises before you're able to leave the hospital." she takes in a deep breath with placing the clipboard onto the table before beginning.
"I can't wait to get the hell out of here ma'am!" Castle shrugged his shoulders with some slight pain with the right one.
"Okay, let's get started with getting you out of bed, to begin with?" she will pause for the moment...
