Chapter 3

NPOV

They searched all night for Ryan, they contacted Jenny as well. To their surprise, Jenny told them she wanted to join in. Beckett didn't have an issue, but she stayed in the precinct and not in the field. Jenny was fine with that, since she was afraid of guns.

Castle stood there, completely frustrated. "Where would they take him? We searched the whole city!"

"I'm not sure…" Kate replied.

"This is my entire fault…" Esposito whispered.

"Did you guys try the outskirts?" Jenny asked.

"You mean, outside of the city?" Kate looked up.

"Yes, if he isn't in the city then he's out of the city."

"I like the idea she's helping us." Castle said.

They all got to work, listing places that they would hide him in. Esposito went with a temporary agent, Agent Rose. They drove outside of the city to an old warehouse. When they got out, Rose glared at him.

"You know, if you never said what you did he would be here. Right?" she hissed.

Esposito glared at her, "I don't need you reminding me."

Rose watched as he walked towards the warehouse. "I have to make a call and tell them we're here."

Esposito waved her off, not wanting to talk to her. She dialed a number and walked away.

"Listen, you better move him. They're searching the outskirts now. Move him into the city." She whispered into the phone.

"Really? Are you stupid?" Thomason growled into the phone.

"No, we're sending them on a wild goose chase. They don't think you're in the city."

"Fine, you better be right."

"We're at a warehouse….that has the name Eddy on it."

"Shit, we're right under you guys! There's someone walking around in the warehouse." Thomason sounded panicked.

"I'll take care of him."

Rose hung up and walked into the warehouse. She spotted Esposito trying to open a door. She took out her gun and held up to his head.

"What are you doing Rose?" Esposito asked.

"My job." She snarled.

~2 min later~

Esposito was thrown into some room. When he looked up, he saw the most horrifying thing but at the same time relieving. Kevin Ryan was slumped against the wall. His eyes were closed; his head was cracked open, there were deeps cuts on his chest, shoulders, and stomach. There was a gun shot in his left shoulder, and a nasty bruise on the side of his face.

"Kev?" Esposito whispered.

Ryan moaned, but did nothing else.

"Hey, Kev. It's me." He tried again.

Kevin's eyes fluttered open; they were dull with pain and exhaustion. They went wide with shock.

"Espo?" he gasped.

"Hey, buddy. How are you holding up?"

"Not great…why are you here?"

"Turned out Agent Rose, is working with them."

"She does look like Snake Fang."

"That man you got arrested?"

"Yes, he's helping."

"Shit."

He stood up and sat beside Ryan. They sat there in awkward silence. "When are they going to come back in?" Esposito asked.

"Soon."

~Back at the precinct~

Beckett kept calling Esposito and Rose, but got no answer. Castle and Jenny were sitting on the couch, concerned and scared for them.

"Let's go, we're going to the warehouse." Beckett growled.

It took them an hour to get to the warehouse, but they reached it. They walked in to see drops of blood on the floor, bigger spots of blood, and a door hanging open. She took out her gun and carefully walked down the steps. It leads into a long hallway, which had blood on the floor. She searched the whole place and found another door. She opened it to see a plain room. She then spotted blood on the wall and floor. Castle walked in once she said it was okay.

"We need to take a DNA test on the blood." She said as she got her supplies.

"Alright." Castle replied.

After getting samples from the blood, they sent it to Lani. After thirty minutes she replied back.

"It was Esposito and Ryan's blood." She said.

"Ryan must be the bigger spots of blood. He's been here longer." Beckett sighed.

"So they were here, now where are they?" Castle asked.

"I'm not sure…"
