Halloween Horrors
Chapter Four
Richard Castle had finished up his chat with the fans at the Barnes & Noble bookstore. The female manager was extremely thrilled with the idea that the mystery author was a big hit with the fans. Even though only a few of them left a little bit earlier.
Castle had been sitting in his Grey Mercedes getting ready to leave the parking lot. He had called his wife Kate Beckett at home now with the kids as his mother had left for her own apartment complex in Manhattan.
She had received a phone call from a security officer a friend of hers walking into an apartment and finding something of horror in his eyes. It was a male body Jerry Robbs having been shot in his head and chest.
"Are you sure Arthur?" she needed to say over the phone.
"Are you kidding Captain? he was shot in the head and his chest had crimson all over his couch and brown rug. I have a feeling that the hallway security cameras will be able to see it on the screens?" he responded with a hand through his salt & pepper hair at age 52 years old.
"I will call the 12th precinct to send the crime scene unit to the apartment and go from there Arthur," she says needing to find out more about her husband's tour is going today.
"Thanks, Kate, I will wait for them to let them inside since I don't wish to have the residents walk inside to the ugly sight," he responded with an exhale.
