Precinct

"Hey, Honeymilk, Iceposito," Castle called out from the elevator. "Are you guys busy?"

"Not at the second," Ryan replied just a bit angrily from his old nickname. "Just got finished going through Debby, Renee and Jerry's back ground. Again. Nothing. Again." Castle nodded. "Why?"

"Just wondering if you guy's wan-"

"No no no, Castle. They," Beckett pointed to the guys. "have work to do." Beckett turned to face her 'big brother'. "Esposito, you said when we found Debby, her desk was trashed."

"Yeah."

"I want you guys to find out what Jerry was looking for. If it was drugs, I wanna know. If Debby was cheating or filing for a divorce, I want to know. Start by heading over to her place."

Debby's apartment

As Esposito unlocked the door to Debby's apartment, Ryan spoke up jokingly. "Nice of Mr. Cramer to let us in. I don't think her liked us very well the first time we interviewed him."

"He wouldn't have had a choice. We would have put him in what Castle calls it, "animal lockup."

"Ehh. We could have slipped through the window," Ryan smiled.

"Not when were 5 stories high," Esposito said as he dropped the smile.

"Come on man, don't you have a funny bone in your body?"

"Sorry, I just- this is a hard case. We need to find him, Ryan," Esposito murmured as they entered Debby's office.

"I know, bro. Wow! Jerry really did a number in this place."

"Sure did. What do you think he was up to?"

"I don't know, but hopefully we can find it."

After a couple minutes of searching files, draws, cabinets, and what ever else they could search, Esposito spotted something. Around the time that Debby and Jerry got married she was regularly going over someone's house. They only have an address of an unknown person. Was she cheating? Was that the reason why they got the divorce?

AT the same time, Ryan also found a sticky note saying

Renee White

5:30 PM 8/22

Cell # 718-546-3992

"Whoa. Yo, Esposito. Renee and Debby met up a little over 5 hours before Debby was murdered."

"Wonder what they talked about."

"Jerry?"

"Maybe. Could they have interacted with Jerry's Ex-girlfriend?"

Precinct

Castle was pouring a cup of freshly brewed coffee for Beckett and himself in the break room while Beckett was out in the Bullpen going over the two victims phone records to see if they had a connection.

Nothing… Yet.

Castle walked out of the break room with two mugs in hands. The cup in this right hand was his since he already took a sip out of it. It was a black cup with red block letters spelling out "Writer". On the other side of the cup, there was a picture of him. The one that was on the back of his books. Under the picture was his name in tiny red letters.

Beckett's cup was in his left hand. Wasn't as decorated as Castle's mug was, but that didn't bother her. It was just a plain old white cup with "NYPD" in black, bold letters.

"Here you go."

"Thank you," replied Kate while taking the cup.

Castle sat down in the chair that Beckett once rigged to fall apart once he sat in it, but nothing happened this time. "I'm sorry for what I did last night."

Beckett looked up from her phone records biting her bottom lip. "I'm sorry too," she said quietly. "It's just that it's not my ost favorite topic to talk about and-"

"Kate stop. You just did what you thought was right."

"I didn't have to yell at you!"

"You do it all the time!" Castle protested.

"That's because you make me angry sometimes."

"Well sorry for past and future times. Wait! You said sometimes!" He said smiling. "What about the other remaining times? What do I make you feel like?" he asked gazing right into her hazel eyes.

About 2 or 3 seconds went by, then she snapped out of it. "What?"

"Uhh..."

Totally dropping the subject she spoke up. "The other night, you were right. I had a nightmare. Ever since Montgomery's death, they have been coming to me. All of them different but the same in a way." She looked down. "You'd get shot, Ryan, Esposito, Lanie. Everyone one I love would just die right in front of me. And the weird part is, is that my mom was always there standing in the crowd." She looked up as a tear slid down her cheek not caring that they were in the precinct and Castle was in awe.

"I'm so sorry Beckett. I didn't mean to..."

She just shook her head. "No it's okay,"

After a few seconds Rick asked, "Kate, do you remember anything from right after you were shot?"

"You know?" she said with her forehead crinkled. "I never really thought about it."

"You should," he suggested. "Things would make sense.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Saved by the bell, she thought. I do not like this silence. She quickly grabbed her phone. "Beckett."

"It's Esposito. We got something." he told her everything they found and said they were in the car on their way to the precinct.

"Kevin is that you?" Jenny asked as she heard a door open and close. She got suspicious when she didn't hear a reply. "Kevin?" As she walked out of her upstairs bed room she was startled by Demarco. "Oh! Demarco," she sighed in relief. "You s-" As if out of no where, Jerry Tyson popped up behind the deep voiced man, Demarco. "Jerry..."

"Now's the 'Ex-girlfriend' portion of the week." Jerry grinned widely then dropped it into a frown. "I really thought your fiancé would have figured my note out faster," he said walking around Demarco and towards Jenny. "But I guess not! That's a gain on my side!" He beamed happily. "But for poor Kevin, It's a loss, or is it?" Jerry was about 3 feet away from Jenny.

"You…" Jenny started slowly. "I knew I heard that name some where. At Remy's, and that note… You look different then you did 6 years ago."

Jerry wasn't listening. He was to busy planning what he was doing next. "You know what I think I'm going to do?" He asked turning towards Jenny and putting his right hand into his coat pocket. "I think I'm going to change it up a bit since you are the fiancé of one of the detectives on my case. I just love saying "my case". Makes me feel like it's important enough. Sorry…" he said shaking his head, "So I think I'm going to strangle you first," he said planning it out once more. "Then maybe I'll hang you just so they know I'm not playing around," Jerry said smiling once again.

Jenny was looking around the room nervously for a way to escape, but Jerry was about a foot or two away from her now. There was no way out.

Precinct

The team was gathering up their things when Ryan spoke up. "I'm really worried about Jenny."

"Why? She has the security on her right?"

"Yeah she does. Becket, do you think I'm being paranoid about all this?"

"No!" she replied. "I think you're just worried about the person you love."

"Yeah, I hope you're right."

Ryan's car

"Hmm. I wonder what Jenny was going to tell me this morning. 6 years ago? Well I'll ask her when I get home. What I want to know id who Jerry's Ex-girlfriend was and why Jerry was targeting me and Jenny…"

Wait! No, no, no! He thought. Her and Jenny? "The letter addressed to me," he thought aloud. "' Keep your loved one close,'" he repeated. "That's obviously Jenny. Then it said 'Things may not be always as they seem'. What could that mean? The only people that are with her are me and Demarco. Wait! Doesn't Jerry use partners? Oh my God! Demarco!" By this time, Ryan was racing down the street in his Crown Vic. "Oh, I hope they don't try anything tonight!" Thank goodness he was going to be home soon!

[-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-]

Ryan's apartment; bed room

Jerry took his hand out of his pocket and was holding a light green rope which was about a foot and a half long, all while grinning. "You know, Jenny. Wow! I haven't said that name in a while. Anyway, you put this on your self by dumping me 6 years ago."

"It's because it wasn't what I was looking for at the time."

"But yet you end up with Detective Ryan a year later."

"What about the other girls? Did they dump you too?" Jenny questioned.

Jerry smiled. "Nope. Just you."

"Then why did you kill them?"

"They were just there," the 3xk confessed like it's nothing. "I figured where's the harm in 2 more?" He walked back and forth in front of Jenny. "You were the real one I wanted to get."

"Why?"

"Because, you broke my heart. Anyway, I'm not getting into all the mushy stuff," he announced while walking towards Jenny with the rope still in hand. "Now for the real reason why I c-"

"Jenny?" Ryan shouted.

Jerry quickly pulled out a gun and put it to Jenny's temple. "You say one word," he whispered. "And you won't be able to say anything again."

The damsel in distress just nodded. "Jenny?" The 3 heard again with thumping noise's not to far behind. From where Jenny was standing, she could see the door which Demarco was "protecting", which led to the stairs. All of a sudden, Kevin was in view. She looked at him with sad, scared eyes, all while the gun still pressed up against her head. "Jenny," Kevin whispered.

Demarco stood firmly at the entry way. "Demarco…" Jerry spoke in a way a parent would speak to their child. "Don't be silly, let our 'guest' in!" The buff man moved to the side to grant Kevin entry. He walked slowly and stopped a few feet from the murderer and his fiancé. He knew better then to run up and try to save her right then and there. They both could die.

Ryan put his hand on his gun holster. "Put my gun down Jerry. There's no need to do this."

"Ahh." Jerry smiled while pressing the gun harder which made Jenny wince. "I see you noticed."

"And let me guess," Kevin started. "You got passes security in the front lobby by using my badge?"

Jerry smiled bigger, if that was possible. "Aren't you a smart cookie? I new it would come in handy." Ryan took a step closer hand still resting on his gun. "You take another step, and Jenny gets a bullet in her brain and she'd die instantly." Kevin dared and took another small step. "Don't try me, Detective," Jerry growled.

"No. You got that ass on backwards, boy. You don't try me." Then a shot rang through the ears of 3 people. Kevin thankfully ducked behind the bed. He still didn't know if it was Jenny that got shot. He peeked his head up from where he was positioned on the floor. Jenny was still standing, no blood, but was wide eyed staring towards the door. Ryan twisted his head to see where she was looking. Lying in the floor was Demarco gasping for air. From where he was sitting, he couldn't see tell where Demarco was hit but he could see a shadow getting bigger. Kevin peered over the side and saw Jerry now again holding the gun against Jenny's temple, but all he could see was the view from there backs.

"Detective Ryan, come out, come out, where ever you are!"

Now or never… He thought just as he saw Jerry put his gun down and picked up the nylon rope backs still facing him. Kevin got up quickly and quietly and pulled his gun out of the holster and pressed it up against Jerry's back. He could tell Jerry took in a sharp breath. "Tell me Jerry. How close to death, do you want to get? Hmm?" Kevin had a smug grin on his face like he was about to shoot the man in front of him in pure happiness any second now but he new that would be no good for him or Jenny. Jerry let go of the poor woman and she ran strait to the phone next to the bed and dialed '9-1-1'. Kevin lowered his gun and put it back where it belongs but swapped them for his hand cuffs. Nothing was said between the two except when Ryan read him his Miranda rights as he slapped on the cuffs. "Jerry Tyson, you are under arrest for the murder of Debby Mahoney, Renee White, and 8 other woman. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the quart of law. You have the right to have an attorney present now and during any future questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you free of charge if you wish."

Old Haunt

Later that night, the 6 of them (Beckett, Castle, Esposito, Lanie, Ryan, and Jenny) were all at the Old Haunt getting a few drinks after the day they had, but the two people that really needed it were Jenny and Kevin. The night wasn't all somber and listless though. They were celebrating that they finally caught this guy after 4 years. Of course they had their moment of silence for Montgomery since he was the lead Detective on the 3xk case. Everyone asked Ryan so many times how he thought about everything and how he took Jerry down and he was more then happy to oblige.

"Okay, okay, enough of you," Esposito said to his partner. Instead he turned to Jenny and said, "So tell me how you and Jerry started dating."

"Well…" she started.

Later on that night, Kate dragged Rick off to a booth so that no one could hear them. Castle slid in first, then Beckett followed. "So I took your advice and thought about what happened after I was shot. And… I remember what you said." Castle's eye brows shot up.

The 4 of them who were back at the bar were wondering what was going on. Lanie nudged her boyfriend. "Can you tell what she said?"

"No! I don't read lips!" She sighed in disappointment.

Castle stared at his partner. "And… and what did I say?"

"You said that you… loved me. Is that true?" She looked right up into his blue eyes.

He couldn't lie to her. "Yeah…"

"Even now?" She questioned.

"Even now." She smiled. "What?" he asked as he looked confused.

"I just want to say, ditto."

As the 4 back at the bar saw Beckett and Castle start to clime out of the booth, they turned around acting as if nothing happened. As the Detective and Writer sat down the 4 turned towards them trying to wipe smirks off their face's but failing epically. Lanie was the one to speak up. "So, everything okay?"

Kate, taking the straw out of her mouth, grinned back and replied, "Never better."
