Alex followed Kate back to the precinct. Where the Girl friend of the Doctor was notified and had come in to identify the body. Kate introduced herself and led her along with Esposito and Castle to the morgue. While watching Lanie showing body to the girlfriend. Her demeanor confirmed a positive id of the body.
Esposito volunteered, "The girlfriend Cordy Moranz..." looking at the woman now looking at the body.
A very good looking woman standing about 5'5" blonde hair and blue eyes which now were very cloudy. She looked very classy in her expensive black dress and heels.
Kate asked to Esposito while her eyes were still watching the drama enfold," What do we have on this case that is new?"
Esposito replied, "CSU is running prints and fibers we should get the results by tomorrow" In hushed tones as in respect for the dead man laying on Lanie's slab.
Kate turned away from the viewing window to guide the grieving girlfriend to the interview room.
Alex was deep in thought as he was witnessing the brutal aftermath of a senseless killing. Admiring the strength and compassion evident in Kate's behavior toward the love one of the victim. He walked silently behind and to the left of Kate as she opened the door to the interview room. Alex stepped in right behind Kate and closed the door. Kate motioned to the couch for her to sit and offered her a tissue.
The interview had begun.
Kate asked," Miss Moranz how long did you know that your Fiancee was missing?"
Cordy answered," I knew it! I knew he was dead. I knew it when he did not return home. I just felt it!"
Alex asked," How long were you engaged?"
Cordy sighed then said," Almost a year.. We were going to get married next month. So why did he die was it money?"
Kate replied, " Robbery does not look like the reason for his death. Was Josh involved in anything which had a criminal element?
Cordy was astonished by Kate's question
Cordy said," No Josh was never like that."
Alex then asked," On the day of his disappearance was there anything you can recall which was something different about him?"
"Was he worried or distracted?", Kate added
Cordy thinking back to that day responded, "No, he was fine we were going to meet to taste wedding cakes. When he did not show I called the office. They said he had left earlier. So I called his cell phone.
He did not pick up."
Alex asked," If his office was in Midtown can you imagine why his car was found on 133rd St?"
Cordy shook her head and said in a bewildered voice," No, I have no idea why he was there. He always took the midtown tunnel to LIE. Plus if he would ever be late he would call. He would call! He would always let me know.
Kate concluded the interview and thanked her for talking with them Kate gave Cordy her card and told her to call even if it is just to chat.
Alex then followed Kate to the Murderboard. Ryan was there standing in front of it.
Kate asked to see it anything in the canvass was of interest.
Ryan said, "It is a bust. No cameras and the people there only noticed the car once it started getting parking tickets"
Esposito added," the fiancee alibi checked out too"
Alex volunteered, " Perhaps the doctor was involved in something which even the fiancee did not know."
Alex sensing a interested audience began to spin a tale of intrigue and suspense.
"Perhaps, he was involved in harvesting organs for a black market interest?" Alex said," That is good one I need to write it down."
Kate decided Castle's outlandish theory had to be dismissed. Then ordered the boys to go to the place the car was usually kept while she and Castle would head to the doctor's office.
On the ride to the doctor's office Alex was deep in thought and Kate was looking mighty grim.
Alex's thoughts now traveled away from the case. He thought to whom he could contact in his wide net of assets to determine the trustworthiness of this boy. Alex thought of Max. He could do a quick security check while he stayed with Kate doing his assigned job. Alex sent a text to Max so that he could start the investigation into the suitability of allowing this boy access to his daughter. Max and he had a long history.
Max met Alex it Kiev in the summer. Max a short dark hair man of average height and weight of Italian descent. He loved to laugh as Alex recalled. He was doing grunt work while Alex in his playboy persona was busy getting access to the Russian embassy. There was a mole there which had documents showing FSB involvement into the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Max was his go to guy for getting key card duplicated and access codes deciphered. Alex using Max's info was able to retrieve those documents then transmit them to the Agency. Alex and Max were friends ever since. Max definitely had the resources for this and besides he loved Alexis too!
Alex was interrupted in his thoughts by Kate braking and bring the car to a stop.
Kate said, " Are you coming, Castle? Castle?"
Alex looked at her and quickly got out of the car and headed to the office of the doctor.
