Hey guys! I'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was moving my sister into her college house. It got me thinking about college myself 0_0 I still have 2 more years but still, It's fucking scary. Here is chapter 3! -J.A.

Beckett sat in the circle holding Johanna close to her chest. They needed to find a way out of here safe. The woman who ratted her out spoke softly, "This is your fault. You called the cops." One of the bank tellers spoke up and defended Beckett, "Stop blaming her. The robbers messed up. The pulled the last bills out. There is a silent alarm. So what if she was on the phone with the cops they were coming anyway." Beckett smiled at her and silently thanked her. "What were you doing on the phone with the cops anyway?" the bank teller asked. "I'm a homicide detective and I was discussing a case with my partner." Everyone nodded in understandment. The 'rat' just looked down. Beckett spoke up. "They must be amateurs. Just planning this today." A man looked at Beckett and spoke up. "How so?" "Well, They got nervous when they heard the sirens. I told The Leader I work for the NYPD and he went as white as a ghost. Plus, they pulled the bottom bills. Which means that maybe signaling the police about where we are or maybe a way they can get in here without any of us being harmed might work." "But how are we going to signal them. We can't exactly call them." said the bank manger. "I think I have an idea." Beckett woke up Johanna, despite being held hostage the little girl fell asleep. "Sweetheart, Are you wearing Mamma's chain?" Beckett had given Johanna a locket that contained a picture of her parents and her older sister and grandma. The little girl loved it so much that she wouldn't stop talking about it for days. It was dubbed 'Mamma's Chain' because Beckett had given it to her. The baby dug the locket out of her shirt. It was big for a child but Beckett made sure it was big enough for her to be able to grow into it. Beckett took the necklace from the little girl and pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. She began to write something on it. Everyone stayed on lookout incase one of the robbers saw what she was doing. She folded the paper really small and put it in the locket. While they were all huddled on the ground she noticed a small gap under the door. Maybe the locket could fir under there. She told everyone her plan. All 4 of the robbers were loading the cash from the vault into bags. No one was watching the hostages. Yeah, they were definitely amateurs. She handed Johanna over to the bank teller and began to crawl over to the door. They weren't far from the door so it wasn't a difficult task. Once she got there she looked out the hole and saw the hostage van. She prayed she would be able to throw the locket far and with all her might she thew the locket. She couldn't see where it went. She crawled back to her position and resumed sitting with her daughter on her lap. Thank god none of the leaders saw her.

Castle sat in the van starring at the screen. There was a video link from the security cameras that showed the front of the bank. They couldn't see in the bank. Castle noticed something being pushed put of the door. it was small, round and shiny. Castle notified the captain and he sent someone to retrieve it. 5 minutes later the man sent to get the small item appeared in the van. He showed the captain what it was that was pushed out of the door. Castle recognized it. "That's Johanna's locket. Kate got it for her for her 4th birthday. Why was it thrown out of the door?" "Maybe it was a warning sign from 'Cas'" said the captain. "No, He would have called. It's probably from Kate." He grabbed the locket and opened it. Inside it held a small piece of paper. They opened the paper and saw it had writing from it. It was definitely from Kate. "What does it say?" asked the captain "It says that they are all right by the door. All 4 of the robbers are getting the money. That's probably how she was able to get us the message. No one is watching them so she was able to get the locket to us. They must be amateurs! Were you guys called by the homicide division of the 12th?" asked Castle. "No, we got a call about the silent alarm being triggered. Then we got the call from the homicide division." "They triggered the alarm. They are amateurs, they should have known about the alarms if they've done this before." Castle said. "We could storm the bank. The note says everyone is by the door and the robbers are in the vault so it shouldn't be hard." The captain said. He wanted the okay from Castle because his wife and child was in there. Castle thought for a moment. "Do it." The captain nodded and picked up the phone. He told the commanding officer that it was a go on storming a bank. Castle was happy that he would be reunited with his family soon.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 3! I can't promise that I will update tomorrow but I will try my best. Plus, this chapter might not be as realistic as you hoped. Sorry. See ya on the flip side! -J.A.
