Still At The 12th Precinct
8:00 am
Continuing
Esposito was still, had said anything back to Ryan. He loved using Castle car. Especially, how fast it goes on the highway. But, it looks like he couldn't get anything out now. He slowly, gets up and goes to get himself some more coffee. See that Beckett and Demming, are talking to each other. She kisses each other. He moves her hair; out of her face. Both laughed, like a pair of teenagers. Getting his coffee, getting out of their.
Ryan, was sitting at his desk and Jenny texted him about the storm. He was getting some paperwork, just in case the power went out. Saw that Castle, hadn't came in today. Seeing the chair, next to Beckett desk. Wondering if, Castle was coming back or not. "Wonder, where you're at Castle?"
Tom was enjoying himself; no writer to get in his way. Him and Beckett; are going over everything from the case. He was telling her; his theories about the line cook. "He had the perfect motive. To commit the crime. Probably, wanted the head chef job."
"I can see your point, but, I can see that he was jealous." She tells Tom. "I just think, we need to look at other suspects." She tells him.
"Get that, but, I believe he really is our prime suspect." He tells her.
"Maybe, we should bring him; in for questioning." Taking a slip of her coffee.
Two Hours Later
10:00 am
The suspect; had made it in before the big storm hit. He wasn't very happy; about the police showing up. But, he tried to put up a fight. Of course, he lost big time. He was angry with them. Said, that his lawyer will be done in a hour. Take him to Interrogation room. Beckett and Demming, had two more cups of coffee. Before entering the interrogation room. Demming, was acting very arrogant; thinking he won some prize. Leading her; inside with his hand touching the small of her back. She grin flirty at him. He just kisses her cheek. Both take their seats across from the suspect.
After half an hour
They were nowhere near an arrest yet. Because after questioning, the suspect. They had gotten nowhere fast. Then his lawyer came in. "My client; has an alibi. The night of the murder, he was doing an interview for another restaurant." He showed them, the paper's. They looked through them. Saw, what time his interview was at. "Plus, he did it on his day off."
Line Cook, give them a answer. "I got tried, of never moving up. I always, got pass over, figure a new place would be good to start at."
"Why? Don't you tell us, about the interview?!" Beckett kept her game face on.
"How could I. All you and your partner did was blame me. For a murder; of someone who may not have liked. But, I did respect him." Line Cook told her.
Damming says to him; "you looked guilty, to me."
His Lawyer says, "just because, someone looks guilty. Doesn't mean, their always the guilt ones." He was then, given them the paperwork for his client release. "If, I were you." He was looking at Beckett. "I reconsider getting a new partner." Both of them, got up and left afterwards. Before it, started storming. Could tell, a very bad storm was coming in. It was lightly raining.
Beckett, was looking at Demming. "He's not our man. I just screwed up now; this could possibly hurt my career. I trusted you; now I might have ended everything possible."
Demming just shrugged shoulders; like he don't gave a damn. "So, made a mistake. It's no big deal." He stood up and asked her. "Hunger?! Could have lunch brought to us?"
"Are you fucking kidding me? Tell me?! That you're not freaking serious." She was standing up from her chair. "This isn't start, of a good day."
"That's not, what you told writer boy." Tom; was enjoying himself. "Sure, I messed up. Got the wrong suspect."
"No! You don't just messed up. I even messed up; way worse then you did." She need the women restroom really bad. Getting out of the Interrogation room. Was the best choice, that she could think of right now.
Kate, couldn't handle it. She really wanted to kick Tom ass. For causing, her case to get messed up. But, it wasn't all his fault to began with. She had, turn her back on her partner. Castle, she had really hurt his feelings. What had, she been thinking at the time. Wasn't very smart, how she handled everything inside that Interrogation room. Especially, when the lawyer told her to get a new partner. Really wanted to tell him. That, Tom really wasn't her partner. That, she had a partner already. But, she couldn't say anything to him. It hurt, that the lawyer said to her. Maybe, she had brought it on herself. Going to look like, a mess after crying her eyes out. Felt like, a storm of emotions going through her.
Getting up, to face the mess that is her life. Everyone, was back at their desk. Tom, was sitting by her desk. Probably, waiting for her. Now, wasn't time for him. Needed to send him back, to robbery department. So, he couldn't cause anymore problems for her and her team. Which worried her; a great deal usual Castle would be here by now. But, he hadn't came in all morning. Maybe, he was at a business meeting or their was a family emergency. That, he couldn't walk away from. She goes into the break room. Trying to call him; but he isn't picking up his phone. She tries three times; trying to reach him. But, still he wasn't answering his phone. Decided to gave up for now. Maybe, I'll try him again later.
