"Castle!" Beckett points to the victim "This is Kirk Green, your former neighbor? Are you sure?"

"Positive. I have been on his boat many times. I spent a lot of time on his boat. We went out fishing or sailed all day with a boat full of bikini clad women…UR…uh…" he looks at his wife who is giving him a death glare "or. I might stop talking now"

Kate turns her head away from him and even though she wants to laugh out loud, she manages to at least look jealous "I think that is a really good idea at the moment"

She sweeps her eyes around the room for a few seconds "So…how does your dead neighbor end up dead again in Colorado…in a remote mountain side resort lodge…on his wife's wedding day?"

"That is a very good question" Castle responds as he also is looking around for clues "And who would want to kill him?"

Beckett looks at her husband "Are you serious? Let's start with Sara. His wife who is planning on getting married today. She might want to get rid of the current husband before committing bigamy or the future husband, who is planning to marry the grieving widow. Is that enough for starters?"

"A good point"

"Or who else might want to do it. Say someone else. Such as someone in New York. Someone from his past who would want to do it? Maybe not from New York but from Long Island or even better, who from here, would want to kill him?" Kate asks

"Would it be from his new life here or from his old life there?"

"Castle" she almost lets out a groan "let's look around carefully. There has to be something here giving us some clue as to who wanted him dead and why"

"I hope so" Castle has placed his hands into his pockets. Since they do not have any sort of gloves to wear to prevent evidence contaminations

Just at that moment, Castle's cell phone rings. He carefully takes it out of his pocket and looks at the caller ID

"It's Ryan" Castle comments

Rick punches the answer and speaker button "Hey Ryan. I got you on speaker"

The voice of the Irish detective comes across the phone "Hey. Guess what?" but before anyone even has time to respond, Kevin continues "We were following up on a murder case here in the city when we had a hit on a set of fingerprints from a former neighbor of yours who is supposed to be dead"

As Ryan is speaking Rick is looking at Kate then Castle speaks out loud interrupting Ryan "Kirk Green?"

"UH…Yeah Castle. How did you know?"

Kate makes the next statement "We are looking at his body"

"What do you mean, looking at his body? In Colorado?"

Beckett gives the answer "We are in his room at the lodge where the wedding is taking place and he is, or rather WAS an employee here"

Ryan then asks the question "What? You two are there to attend the wedding of the widow when the ex-husband is found dead?"

Kate comments next "Yeah, Sara Green is or was getting married because she was a widow but now it seems she is still married, I mean since her late husband is no longer the 'late'"

They hear Ryan over the phone comment "But he is dead now? Right?"

Castle gets a strange look on his face "Why do they call a deceased person 'the late?' Because if you invite them to go somewhere, they will be late?"

Kate gives her husband the death glare

"OK got it" he sheepishly comments

About that time they hear the owner of the resort, Robin Blankenship, coming down the hall "Mr. Castle, Mrs. Castle…are you down here?"

Kate responds "Yes, but please do not come in the room. We are trying to keep the crime scene free of contamination"

"Is it true? Carl is dead?"

"Who is Carl?" Castle asks

"Carl Riley. He is my maitaince man. Does repairs"

"Robin, do you have a file on Carl? An employment application. Emergency contact information? Things like that?

"Yes. I am sure we do"

Kate continues "will you get the file for us? We will come get it later"

"OK. Is there anything else I can do to help?"

"Do you know if anyone has rubber gloves of any kind?" Kate asks

"Yes, the chef in the kitchen. He uses them for food pre. Sanitation purposes you know. I can get you several pair if you need them"

"Yes please" Beckett responds "That will be very helpful"

"I will get them for you and be right back" and the sound of her boots clicking as she turns moves away from the room

Returning her attention to the phone call from her partner in New York "Ryan, what can you tell me about the case there?"

"Our victim is Joshua Clements, He was found dead in the apartment. When we checked his history we found out he just moved here to the city a few days before. He moved into the empty apartment, but when we checked fingerprints, Castle's neighbor's prints were all over the apartment. When we showed Green's picture to the super who confirmed he was the previous occupant"

"Did you find out how long he was living there? Beckett questions

"Yeah, he had lived there over two years"

Castle looks at his wife "That is close to the time of his reported death"

"What about that Castle?" Kate asks "I thought he was killed on the boat?"

"He went out on the boat one Friday evening but when he had not returned by Sunday, they called the Coast guard who sent out search boats. The located his boat adrift around the point of the island"

"Did they not identify his body?" Kate asks

"His body was never found, but there was a lot of blood found on the deck and on the boom. They assumed he probably slipped or was hit by the boom and he went overboard. There was so much blood that whoever lost that much could not make it. It was his blood type and no one thought to check DNA. The coroner ruled on it. He declared Kirk dead and the body missing at sea. We had a memorial service and everything"

"Yeah and a grieving widow interested in my guy?" Kate comments as she walks around the end of the bed

"Hey you" Castle stops Beckett by taking her arm as she passes him "First, we were not together and second she never showed interest in me until later…much later"

She looks at her husband and speaks softly "I know…just trying to keep the blood pumping until I can do something else to cause your blood pressure to rise" then she almost whispers "along with other things"

Castle lets out a gasp trying to keep his mind on the case in front of them.

At this time there is the sound of a woman's shoes clicking on the floor moving toward the room. They are not the sound of the owner of the inn, but definitely female in the cadence. A sultry female voice is heard speaking as she approaches "Carl…are you decent? I hope not because if you are, then I will just have to take…"

The sentence falls incomplete as Beckett steps out of the room followed by her husband

The unknown woman angrily comments looking at Kate "Who are you?"

"Detective Katherine Beckett…who are you?"

"Lillian" the woman answers "Uh…Detective? Where's Carl?"

Castle asks the next question "How do you know Carl?"

"We are…Uh…I am…I run the spa here at the hotel and Carl…Mr. Riley had an appointment this morning and didn't show up and I thought I would come and check on him"

"Appointment at the hotel spa?" Beckett questions using her best homicide voice

"An employee had an appointment? I thought only guests were given appointments?"

"Well, he had…uh…pulled a muscle working and I thought it would help him if I gave him a massage"

Being a little sarcastic Kate comments "I am sure. How long have you and Mr. Riley? Been…together?"

The woman is obviously embarrassed "we have been…dating for about a month. What is going on? Is he alright?"

"No. I am sorry to have to tell you but Carl…Mr. Riley has been murdered"

All the color immediately fades from the woman's face and her knees buckle and she slides to the floor

Kate moves beside the woman and sits down next to her "I am sorry, but I do need to ask some questions"

The woman nods her head

"Tell me about the two of you"

"He started earlier this year. At first our paths never crossed then about 3 six months ago we became friends. Then we just…connected. There was this magic and we couldn't fight it. Everything quickly built up until…well you know how it is with co-workers. Some time they just have magic. We felt it immediately but the boss discourages this. So we tried to keep it a secret from them"

"OK. So this morning was a booty call?" Castle asks

"No" she answers thru sniffles "He was supposed tom come to the spa for a real massage. He really did pull his back taking down some light fixture"

Kate has now put on her best counseling voice "Lillian, was he having trouble with anyone? Or did he seem nervous or frightened?"

Rick and Kate can see her face change

"Yeah…he did. When the last load of guests arrived he seemed scared about something. When the SUV pulled-in and the guests started getting out he couldn't seem to get away from, the lobby fast enough. That is when he hurt his back"

"When was that?" Castle asks

"The day you two came. We had several loads arrive. Mostly for a wedding party I think"
