It had been a couple of days since I had last seen Alexis. She called three times everyday, leaving voice mails asking if I was ok and if I could call her. She had sounded sad in her messages and I thought if I returned them I would make it even worse. She needed to get over me. And, I needed to get over her.

I hadn't been able to do that. I hadn't eaten, slept, or smiled since I could call her mine. It was rough but, I had to get through it for her safety.

I barely left my apartment, as I was doing research into my father and the Castle's. Nobody would give me answers, so I guess I had to figure it out on my own.

I needed to figure out where they're two paths intersected and what my father had done. The only thing that popped was Kate Beckett. As soon as I searched her name, newspaper articles recounting her shooting, the death of her captain, her shooting of Dick Coonan and, her mother's murder from 1999.

My father's search turned up nothing but, articles and websites celebrating his achievements. Nothing seemed to be corresponding. As far as I could tell, the first time they met was during Detective Beckett's case that involved protecting my father.

Maybe, I wasn't looking at this correctly.

"Ok, Jasper. Start from the beginning. What was the first big event that happened?" I said to myself.

Johanna Beckett's murder. Johanna Beckett was murdered in an alley on January 9th, 1999; due to random gang violence. My father at the time was Assistant District Attorney.

I quickly searched Johanna Beckett. Johanna Beckett was the leader of the Justice Initiative who took on cases of people who were wrongfully accused. The last case she was working on was Joe Pulgatti who says he was framed for the murder of FBI agent Bob Armen. Wait, Johanna Beckett was murdered in the same alley as Bob Armen. That's not a coincidence.

I guess I was going to have to get answers on my own. From Joe Pulgatti himself.

I sat in the meeting area of the prison. He came in slowly not knowing who to expect. He sat down hesitantly and looked at me.

"I'm Jasper Bracken. I'm looking into the murder of Johanna Beckett."

"Joe Pulgatti." He said, the Brooklyn in his voice clear. "What do you want to know?"

"Why do you think you were framed for the murder of Bob Armen? There were witnesses that put you at the scene of the crime."

"I was abducted that night and I saw Bob get shot. I didn't see any other people in that alley. The only people there, were me, Bob, and three other guys. Of course, they killed Bob because they was trying to get to me. See, this three guys kidnapped mafia for ransom."

"Do you know who the guys are?"

"I have an idea of who they might be. Who has access to case files and who can alter reports?" He lead me in.

"Cops."

"Exactly." He looked behind him and saw the guard coming to retrieve him.

"Visiting time is up." The guard stated.

"Johanna was murdered because she was getting to close. If she solved my case, those cops would have been put away." Pulgatti said standing. "Listen, kid I advise you to stay away and not get into it. Unless, you want end up like me or…Johanna."

"I'll be fine, thank you." I stated.

"Good luck kid."

I walked out of the prison and hailed a cab to my parent's house. I walked into the house and asked Ted where my father was. The office.

I knocked once and peered into the office. He was at his desk working on a paper.

"Dad?"

He looked up, "Jasper, what do you need?"

"I was wondering if I could ask you something?"

"I have a meeting in five minutes, make it quick."

"When you were the Assistant District Attorney, did you ever remember a case involving Bob Armen and Joe Pulgatti?" At the mention of those two names he stopped everything he was doing.

"No, I can't say I do. Why?" He said, his voice raspy.

Making something up, "Debate team. We are debating trials."

"Hmm…I have to go, Jasper. Tell me how your debate goes." He said. I knew he knew that I was lying.

He left the office and I waited until I heard the front door close. The house becoming silent. I walked over to the wall of filing cabinets that my father kept. Old files from his past jobs and other documents were inside.

I looked into his ADA cabinet under the year of Armen's murder. There it was. I pulled out the file and opened it. The cops who were at the scene first were Gary McCasllister, John Raglan, and Roy Montgomery. Wait, Roy Montgomery was Detective Beckett's late captain. He was shot by an escaped fugitive Hal Lockwood, at least that's what the newspaper article said.

Somehow, my father was involved in the murder of over three people. And, that included Johanna Beckett.
