Chapter Two
Santa's Sleigh A True Christmas Tradition
Ryan and Esposito didn't wish to provoke the young boy at this point. Until they just knew who he was and just why he is in this type of physical shape.
Jason having been placed under the blanket. Ryan moving in closer tries to see if there were any items from inside of his tater clothing.
Finding a letter that wasn't opened. Though having been addressed to Santa Claus at the North Pole and his reindeer. Both detectives were finding this rather odd in their eyes. Since they stopped in believing in Santa Claus a very long time ago.
Ryan is able to murmur something under his breath directed at his partner. Shaking his head holding onto the letter for now. As part of the evidence bag to be sent to the proper authorities. In order to take proper care of him. Once they are able to take him to the hospital.
Moments Later...
They can hear the ambulance and a squad car following behind. Arriving on the scene for now.
They were able to explain to the techs. Just what is going on for the moment with the young boy. Along with the fact that the Department of Social Services will need to be called.
Ryan had asked the driver of the ambulance. Just where they will be going with taking the boy. He would need it for clarification with his records and Beckett once she is able to read the report.
And confirm the facts on whether the boy is a run away or something else for that matter. It would be mostly disastrous for the police department. To find out this boy was some how involved with a crime or witnessed something he wasn't able to handle mentally wise.
Once the ambulance was able to take Jason to the hospital. Ryan and Esposito finishing up canvassing the area for any other clues.
L.T. and one other stayed to further investigate. Leaving Ryan and Javi to head back into the station for now. And just file a general report.
It was immensely important to put together a proper report, even though nothing is really known about Jason for the moment. However the two detectives have a feeling. Either Beckett or Richard Castle will no doubt be wishing to be further investigating the boy's past. Along with the letter found in his clothing for where and when it was written, and what was written inside.
Analysis will certainly be made in the police lab. In order to find any remnants of prints other than Jason's on the outside or inside.
But for now there was nothing more to be done. Accept wait it out for the information to be received from all those involved with the case.
Castle trying to focus on his laptop for the moment for the early hour. He's needed to finish up all of his writing projects before Christmas actually arrives.
It's been some what difficult with so much going on the past few weeks. Especially when he'd found out about being a father once again with twins. And his wife had opted to stay as Captain of the 12th precinct for the time being.
Even though she has been complaining a little too much about all of the recent paperwork that goes with the position. One thing for sure. It's been persistent for when ever she tries to catch up.
Having some what of a conflict. She some how needed a diversion to keep her mind some what clear. Even though she knew that her husband was basically having the same type of issues.
Just prior to leaving for the precinct this morning. And she'd no idea just what had transpired for when it came to Jason. But she will, when she reads the file placed inside of her office desk.
But prior to her leaving the loft. She'd asked on whether he was interested in coming into the precinct for a few hours. Depending on his schedule, and whether the nanny will be fine in order with watching Reece for those few hours. He said feeling some what tired, sitting in front of his laptop laughing back at him with nothing to show for his efforts.
"I will be there Kate. No doubt something will show up to meet up with my fancy, once I am inside the precinct." He says with a wry grin on his face. Even though trying to come up with something on his laptop with the usual writer's block.
"I have to go Babe. See you than." She moves in quickly to kiss him onto his cheek before he even knew it. And leaving in a quick rush to get to work. Even though she was mostly quivering in her wake with not really going into work today. But knowing the consequences, she just needs to be in order to do a proper job.
And with a graceful gesture with the quick kiss. She leaves him to his own madness for now. As she approaches the loft's door to open and closing it with a residual sadness.
