Chapter 2

The trio exited the diner after consuming a breakfast that included not only thick Canadian bacon and scrambled eggs but also French toast, orange juice and of course the mainstay of almost every law enforcement officer, coffee.

They made their way back across the street and entered the 12th Precinct building, went straight to the stairs and down to the morgue where they hoped Dr. Lanie Parrish was back and had extracted the bullets from their two victims for comparison with those that Agent Shaw brought with her and delivered to CSU earlier.

7:30 AM, The Mougue

"Good morning Doctor Parish," Agent Shaw said stepping through the double doors and into morgue, Beckett and Castle right beside her.

Lanie looked up from her position seeing the good looking fed saying, "Well as I live and breathe if it isn't FBI Agent Jordan Shaw. What brings you to our fair city?"

"Not what but who Dr. Parish. Mary Croce and James Fleetwood, your two victims." She replied. "Did you get the slugs over to CSU yet?"

"Yep, both of them. CSU found the one from Fleetwood on the ground by the car, must have been a though and through. The one from Miss Croce was still in her skull. You should have their preliminary up stairs already."

"Okay, thanks Lanie. Let us know what else you find," Beckett said heading for the door along with Shaw, Castle however still standing there.

"What is it, Castle" Lanie asked. "Looks like another serial, Lanie," he then turned and left to catch up with his two companions.

Back in Homicide

Upon arriving at the fourth floor, Homicide, Beckett and Castle headed to her desk while Shaw went to the conference room and went to work setting up her own murder board. Sure enough there was CSU's prelim on the bullets and lists of the clothing and items removed from the their victims but no conclusions yet.

Beckett took the reports, going to get with Shaw so they could go over them together, Castle to the breakroom to make coffees. Beckett was actually glad to have Jordan here, she had gained a lot of respect for her when she assisted them on the 'The Alphabet Murders'. Proved all federal agents weren't as dumb or as arrogant as one Agent Sorenson.

As Kate entered the conference room she saw where Jordan already pictures of all four victims up and was busy scribbling notes with a black marker. On the table were four folders already labeled with the their names. "Where did these come from?" Kate asked pointing at the two folders containing their current vics names.

"One of your CSU people brought them up. I must say they are most efficient and just as quick as the FBI's."

"Well on a case such as this where time is of the essence they will speed things along a bit."

"Here we are ladies," Castle proclaimed setting a tray with three coffees on it down on the table. "I assume the one with the heart is yours, Kate" commented Jordan a slight tease aimed at Kate. "Yes it is," Kate replied back her face beginning to blush.

"Don't be embarrassed Kate, Tom, my husband, does little things like that all the time and usually in front of guests."

"Ladies whatta say we get back to work on catching this SOB," Castle suddenly interrupting the conversation the two women were engage in. "Right," they responded simultaneously.

They all sat down at the table and began going through the files looking for anything that would give them a clue as to whom their killer is. Engrossed in what they were doing they hadn't noticed when someone else arrived and turned on the television that hung in the bullpen that is until until they heard 'NEWS FLASH' coming from the speakers.

Castle got up out of his seat going out to investigate. He watched as one of the news anchors proceeded to report on the slaying of their current victims including pictures of the crime scene. "Beckett! Shaw! You need to see this he yelled.

"What is it Castle!' Beckett shouted as her and Shaw came rushing out but by the time they got there the station had moved on to the next story. "I saw something during that segment. We need a copy of it plus all the photos and anything else they have."

"We will need a warrant," Beckett and Shaw cried out almost as one. "Local or federal?" Castle asked.

"Local should do it," answered Beckett moving to her desk, booting up her computer and pulling up the proper form. "Whom am I making this out against? She then asked.

"News station WNYW to include Jason Strong and Eve Nevers." Castle then went on telling her what to include in the charges and evidence sections. Beckett printed out the form, slipped it into a folder along with the other two, grabbed her jacket and her along with Jordan and Castle made for the elevator and the parking garage. Once there they climbed into Beckett's cruiser (Castle in back) and headed for the courthouse and Judge Markway's office.
