Beckett and Castle had enjoyed their night of bowling, playing video games, and playing pool at the local bowling. It wasn't much, but it was still pretty fun. They were even enjoying getting to sleep in since they were waiting to hear back from Ryan and Esposito. That was of course until the boys actually called them. Kate groaned some and answered her phone, "...Beckett.." She looked at the clock and groaned some at it being only 9:30 in the morning.
Ryan's voice came across the line, "Are you still sleeping? It's 9:30 Beckett."
"Yeah, well some of us are hundreds of miles away from home, on a case, and they are tired."
"Well... from the looks of the pictures Castle sent us, you two were having a great time bowling last night."
"He sent you pictures?"
"Uh huh. Man you were really drunk weren't you?"
Beckett elbowed Castle some, which caused him to groan, "Do you want something Ryan?"
"Right. Kate Beckett, master of avoidance. Okay so Javi and I looked for some more leads for you like you asked. We couldn't really find anything useful in her apartment or that book."
"And? I know you called for more than just that."
Ryan smiled, "Correct. So we went about a different way of looking for new leads. We talked to Houghton."
"Okay? What did she say?"
"She said that for the last few months, there has been a man following her and Miranda, or well Ava, around. She didn't know his name or how old he was, but she was pretty sure that she could describe him to a sketch artist, so Javi is in there now with her working on that."
"Great Ryan. Thanks."
"No problem, Beckett. Do you want me to fax it to the Sheriff's Department?"
"No, that's okay. Can you send me a picture of the sketch?"
"Yeah. Will do Beckett."
"Thanks again, Ryan. Bye." She hung up.
Castle yawned and looked at her sleepily, "Morning."
Kate glared at him a little, "You took pictures of us last night?"
He looked at her, "What? No! No." She glared at him more. "Wait.. Pictures of us doing what?"
"Uh bowling."
Castle smiled, "In that case. Yes I did."
"Yeah. Ryan was nice enough to let me know."
"Sorry?"
"No you're not. So what did he say?"
"They got Houghton sitting in with a sketch artist. She said someone had been following them around. So hopefully this is almost over."
After Kate and Rick got ready for the day, and Kate got the picture from Ryan and she showed it to Castle. He looked at it and then Beckett, "No way."
"Let's go see what he has to say with this evidence now Mr. Castle." They went to the station and they sat in the room with their suspect, "Do you know why you're here?"
Their suspect shook his head, "Uh no, Detective Beckett. I already told you everything I know."
Beckett looked at Castle, "You think he told us everything?:
Castle shook his head, "Not at all Beckett. He forgot to tell us how he went to New York over the past few months and was following Ava and Houghton around."
Beckett looked at their suspect, "Care to share that Reynolds?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Castle leaned closer to Reynolds and stage whispered, "Don't make her mad Reynolds. She's the master at getting someone to crack."
Beckett hid a smile behind her hand and then laid the sketch in front of Reynolds, "Is that enough proof for you?"
"No."
"Reynolds quit playing games and tell me what happened. What did she do? Threaten you?"
He narrowed his eyes at her, "She was a whore. I had wanted her for a long time and she kept turning me down. I kept telling her how we would make a great family and she tells me that she doesn't want a family. Then what do I see one night on TV when she's supposed to be dead?" He slapped the table, "Ava! On some stupid show with a kid! So I tried to get her to come back home and the kid could come too and we could be a family together just like we wanted, but she still told me no!"
"So what happened next Reynolds?"
"I got pissed off Beckett! What the hell do you think happened? I followed her around for a while. Then I got the disease from a friend. He didn't know I took it though. I put it on that stupid crossbow and followed her more. That's when she ended up at that college with the kid and the red headed girl. So I shot her and ran. I tried to get the little girl too, but I missed so I just ran away."
Beckett stood up and pulled her handcuffs out, "Jonathan Reynolds. You are under arrest for murder, and attempted murder..." She continued on with his rights then a deputy lead him away. She looked at Castle and smiled, "I have to call Gates."
"Of course. I'll wait outside for you." He left the room. Beckett smiled and called Gates and told her they solved the case. Gates then set up for a transfer to get Reynolds to New York. Kate smiled and went and met Castle out front.
He smiled at her, "Ready to go home?"
"Absolutely."
"Good. I already booked our flight. We'll be back in New York tonight."
"Great. We got one more thing to do and then we can get out of here." They went to their car and Beckett drove to the Richardson's address. Kate spent a few minutes and then came back out and nodded to Castle, "Let's go home Rick."
