It all started with the book signing

Chapter 6

We went to Central Park and we found the body on the rotating carousel. Lanie examined the body and the CSU's venue. - She was killed in the same way our last victim was. The killer hit her with the weapon and on my option our killer is left-handed. - our M. E. said. - Did the Crime Scene Unit find the bullets? - I asked. - They did.And also there were letters in it. W, I, L, L, - Lanie said. - Will. Niki will... - that's how our letter starts. - Nikki will, but what? - Castle thought. I thanked Lanie and we went out from the crime scene. - So that's certainly a serial killer. - he wanted to ask but it more was a statement. -Not that's every thriller writer's dream? - we started to walk. - It would be if it was not related to Nikki Heat. - I heard the sense of responsibility in his voice. - Castle it's not your responsibility. - I turned to him. - If I didn't create Nikki Heat - He would kill anyway, he would explain with something else. - I cut him off. He wanted to say something when three black SUVs parked down beside our cars. - What the hell is the FBI doing here? - I asked and an almost redhead woman got out of the car and walked in front of us. While she was coming she gave the command to her team. - Nikki Heat, if I'm not wrong. - she smiled derisorily. I took a deep breath before I talked. - I'm Beckett. Detective Kate Beckett. - I held back my anger. - I read about you in the Cosmos. And you might be the kind of famous writer Richard Castle, huh. - she looked at Castle and then back me and she gave her hand - I'm Agent Jordan Shaw. - I took her hand and shook it. - Jo-Jordan Shaw? The one who caught the Hudson Valley Strangler? -he asked with a lot of admiration. - Yeah, and I'm also good at scrabble. Know, that we met I want to take a look at the corpse. - she said. - My unit insured the place and the victim too. Our trail experts are working and our colleagues are looking for witnesses. So no matter how pleased I am you will not have much to do. - I said with a little smile on my face. - You know, they send me from above to catch the killer and I will with or without your help. Understood? - she looked at me - So may I see the corpse? - she asked. - It was totally like in a movie. Can you repeat it? - he asked and took his notebook and his pen out of his pocket. For an answer, she just rolled her eyes. The boys came to us with a bag. It belonged to our victim. She was a dog walker. - There is a fingerprint. It's too big to be hers. Send it to the lab. - before Sito can take it from me Shaw took a photo of the fingerprint. - What are you doing? - I asked. - Just send it into the lab. Much easier. - she smiled. Castle was impressed about the gadget and because of the new chick.. - That's why I went to the FBI. Now I really want to check on the victim. - she stressed the "really". - I want to see the - Castle started to go after her but I prevented him by putting in front of him my arm. - Don't you dare - I hissed. - Maybe another time. - He tried to save himself with little success. We went back to the precinct where the FBI was moving in. Castle was so excited like a little boy on Christmas eve. - Tell me everything about Jordan Shaw. - I stood in front of him and asked whispering. - You. Just she is in the FBI. - he started to tell me about her and how wonderfully she caught the Hudson Valley Strangler.And how amazingly she saved that girl's life. -You haven't been so excited so far about anyone. - I looked at him with my look. The day went slow until we didn't go to our killer candidate. - Since when did you and Castle had sex? - we were sitting in the car when the agent asked. - We are not together and we are definitely not - I'm a skilled profile creator and I'm rarely mistaken, detective. - she cut me off. - Only my second marriage was that sex-free. - Castle said. - But if you two didn't do things then why are kept him? - she asked. - You know I'm here right? - he was looking at a machine. - Because, surprisingly he is helpful. - I answered. - That's cool. What's this? - he asked with a shocking machine in his hand. - Castle, put that down! - she said and he did it. When the other half of the FBI arrived we went to the building. We were just on our way to go into the building when Jordan saw him. - FBI! Stop! - she yelled but he ran away and we after him. Suddenly Castle was jumping out of the car and used the shocking machine. - See, I'm helping. - he said to the agent. - Yes, I will buy you an ice cream. - she said. - So, who is Nikki Heat? - he smiled disgustingly and I couldn't help but held his hand stronger. We took him in and we interrogate him. When I rolled down the gauze from his pinkie we found a code. After Castle and Jordan did a little shared brain thing they realized the meaning of the numbers. - I-will-kill-someone-else-before-midnight-tonight-unless-you-stop-me. - that was it. - Midnight. We have eight hours to catch him. - I said. - Beckett, I'll go pick up Alexis. Are you coming? - he asked. - Can you take Mia too. If Martha doesn't want to watch over her just bring her in. - I said. - She will take care of her. - he smiled at me and I went to my board.
