Hello! I just cameback home from a nice vacation. I'd like to thank everyone who read and review my story. You're so kind.

Chapter 9

The loud music passed through the corridor and outspreaded Samuel's bedroom. Samuel bounced on his bed like he had sleep apnea syndrome! Then he came to his feet at one leap.

Aurah was singing out loud inside her room:

I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion
I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion

You met your match when you met me
I know that you will disagree it's crazy
But opposites attract you'll see
And I won't let you get away so easy

The love you save may be your own
Can't fight this feeling, aren't you tired of being alone
You won't admit it but you know it's true
It's not a secret how I feel when I stand next to you

I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion
I've got the moves baby, you got the motion
If we got together we'd be causing a commotion!

Samuel knocked the door:

"Aurah, could you please turn it down a little bit? It's only 7 a.m.!"

"SORRY, I CAN'T!" Aurah yelled.

"But it's too loud!" Samuel yelled back.

"IF MY MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THEN YOU'RE TOO OLD!"

Samuel was struck dumb. He looked for a good response to give.

"No problem for me… But, our neighbors might come to complain if you keep on listening this loud!"

No response…

Samuel heaved a sigh. "If you don't turn it down now, I'm gonna call Ariana and invite her for breakfast. And I'm sure that she'd gladly look after you when I'm at the hospital."

Portable CD player suddenly stopped! Aurah opened the door to her room and stood at the doorstep with a "pussy cat" look upon her face.

Crossing her arms, she said; "No Ariana!"

Samuel grinned. "Okay. Well… Since we've woken up, we may have our breakfast now."

Aurah raised her arms. "I'll make the tea!" She slid from the railing and run to the kitchen.

Samuel turned on TV as a regular habit and switched to an international news channel. Just as Aurah took the remote to switch to a music channel, the breaking news aroused her attention. She sat cross-legged on the floor and began to listen.

"More than two years after three women were raped and killed in central London, another murder incident happened last night.

Surrey Police has launched a murder investigation after the body of a woman was found in Claygate.

Her body was found by police officers who were called to a home in Claygate, just after 11 p.m. yesterday.

A Surrey Police spokesman said a postmortem had carried out at the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford to find out how she died.

She seemed to have died the same way other three women were killed before.

Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to contact with them."

Aurah was watching as pop eyed and breathless. Samuel came to her side and crouched.

"I've never known that you follow up murder cases," he said.

"I usually don't," Aurah replied with a distant look on TV. "But this one is different.

"In what aspects?" Samuel couldn't seem to realize that this was the case which Ben had been taken into custody before he was exiled from London by his ex Alpha.

"Oops! I forgot to wash my face!" Aurah jumped to her feet and run up the stairs before Samuel could ask anything else.

She went into her room to take her cell phone. Then she went to the bathroom. Turning on the faucet, she let the tap water run for her voice not to be heard by Samuel. She hit a number on her speed dial list.

"Aurah, baby, how are you doing?" A sweet voice of an old man spoke.

"I'm doing fine, grandpa. Thanks. How are you?"

"I'm fine except I'm missing you so much!"

"Grandpa, I need a favor. It must between only you and me!"

"Whatever you want, baby girl… But, you know I'm not good at keeping secrets from Angelina."

"Grandpa, please! Especially she shouldn't know, yet. If she and Samuel find out what I intend to do, they would never let me."

"Okay. Shoot it!"

"We must go to London. Just you and me…"

Richard was bewildered. After a short pause, "Why?" he asked.

"Grandpa, is your PC on right now? If so, go to Google and search for breaking news about serial rape/murder incidents in London."

"Yes, indeed." Richard's bewilderment was doubled. He did what Aurah asked for. The results were before his eyes.

"Hmm… Seemingly, a woman was slayed last night. And the police think this might be connected to a former serial rape/murder incident. That's too nasty, Aurah. Why are you following such bad news?"

"Grandpa, do you remember once you've told me that some people cast the blame on you for something you hadn't done when you were working in a genetic laboratory?"

Richard assumed on a serious air. "Yes. Continue," he said.

"If you knew that a friend of yours had an experience like yours before, and you had a chance to find out the truth, would you do that for him?"

"Of course, I would," Richard Castle replied without hesitation.

"That's why I wanna go to London, grandpa. You know we can find the real murderer!"

Richard heaved a sigh. "I'd better start thinking of a good excuse to give Angelina and Samuel for taking you to an oversea trip."

"I'll check out on the internet if there's a George Michael concert in UK recently. Then, we can tell'em that we are going to watch that show," Aurah said.

"Great idea!" Richard laughed.

"You talk to mom, I'll talk to Samuel, okay? I'll be waiting for your call."

"Okay," Richard said. Just before he was about to say "goodbye" and hang up, he suddenly remembered to ask the missing part in the plan.

"Aurah?"

"Yes, grandpa?"

"Who's that friend whom you are so willing to help?"

"Uhh, oh, Samuel is calling out to me! I have to hang up!"

"Aurah?"

"See you, grandpa!"
