CH - 12 - Hedge Fund Homeboys - Part -2

@MojitoFresco I deleted your comment sorry for that but you just told the whole story that I was planning 😂😂. Sorry for that and yes I was thinking of doing just that. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[EXT. CENTRAL PARK, FIFTH AVE - MORNING]

Esposito while giving a brief says "One victim. Donald Kendall, 18. He was a senior at St. Judes." but then asks seeing Castle "What do you think we called you for the Met Gala??" seeing his outfit.

[Castle outfit]

Beckett from beside him comments "I actually think it look nice"

Castle with a bit of disbelief asks "Really..." Beckett replies "Yes..." Castle "Well... Thank You. My kids picked it out for me."

Then they (Castle, Beckett, Ryan and Espo) approach the rowboat containing the body, which has been pulled to shore. Lanie, in wading boots, attends to the body from the side of the row boat.

Ryan jokes "Someone's gonna miss prom night."

Beckett asks "St. Judes....?

Castle replies "Private school for the Upper Eastside elite.....my... (Stops)" Hearing this Esposito jokes "No trust-fund baby left behind." with a smirk.

Beckett studying Castle's pause then the crime scene asks "What's he doing in a boat?"

Esposito "No idea."

Beckett seeing her friend asks "Lanie, how you doing?" Immediately hears "Feet are cold. Other than that same old same old..."

Beckett asks "So, what do you got for me?"

Lanie "Single GSW (Gun Shot Wound) to the chest, fairly large-caliber. And, from the lack of blood inside the boat, I'd say he wasn't killed at sea."

Beckett reaffirms " So...Somebody moved him."

Lanie continues her findings "He's got dirt and grass all on his Chucky T's. Other than the postmortem voyage, looks like a pop-and-drop. I'm guessing sometime late last night."

Beckett interprets "Well, if somebody dragged him here, he couldn't have come from very far. Let's get Uniforms down here to do a perimeter walk. Get them to go from the boats over there down to Fifth. And tell them they're looking for a blood pool and possible shell casings."

Ryan replies "Roger that."

Beckett asks "Esposito, did you check the boathouse?"

Esposito "Not yet."

Beckett and Castle walk along the lake's edge. 

Beckett seeing that they are alone asks "What was that??" Castle replies with a question of his own "What was what??"

Beckett with seriously look goes "Ohh come on Castle... Back at the crime scene... you think nobody noticed the pause when the school was mentioned"

Castle says in a defeated tone goes "It's nothing I just know someone who studies there... "he says with a sheepish smile clearly there is more to it but Beckett for now lets it go and asks about the crime at hand "So why the burial at sea?"

Castle theorising says "Well....The Vikings believed that if you wanted to reach Valhalla, you needed a vessel."

Beckett with an eye roll comments "Gun-toting Viking? That's your theory?"

Castle then remembers something and corrects "No, no, no. They also launched their dead with a sacrificial woman. And some booze and a good horse."

=================================================================

Nate, his father, Howie, and another guest are standing together having a conversation

Guest asks "So, Nate, started thinking about college?"

Howie replies in Nate's stead " Well, actually I'm a Dartmouth man."

Nate a bit flustered says diplomatically "Yes, dad's always spoken very highly of Dartmouth. But I would like to check out west. You know, maybe USC, UCLA?"

Howie clearly not having it says " His mother wouldn't hear of it. Dartmouth is far enough away for her."

Nate covering up says "Yes, well... Dartmouth is my first choice."

We see Blair walking up to her boyfriend, Nate, and his father, also called 'The Captain' like a girl on a mission.

Blair asks "Excuse me, Captain. Nate, can I borrow you?" her eyes clearly stating 'refusal is not an option'

Nate replies "Eh, sure. Excuse me for a second."

Chuck Bass is seen sitting on the couch with two girls either side of him (Isabel and Katy)

Chuck seeing Nate being dragged by Blair asks "Nathaniel, any interest in getting some fresh air?" Chuck signals to Nate that he wants to smoke a joint with him.

Nate replies "When I get back?"

Blair interjects with a smile "If he gets back!" Chuck then asks Blair " Blair, you see Noah yet?"

Blair replies "No, I haven't but he did says that he will be coming...Why what happened ??"

Chuck replies "Had some business to discuss with him"

Before Blair could enquire more Nate comes to the rescue and says "Blair you where taking me somewhere??" Blair replies "Ahhh ..... yes" and continues to drag him away.

Blair leads Nate into her bedroom and pushes him onto the bed. Nate not expecting this is a bit stunned.

==============================================

We see a car coming to a stop at the front of the Waldorff Residence... Noah get out the car as the valet opens the door for both him and Alexis. Noah thanks the Valet and hands him the keys. And proceeds with Alexis beside him to to walk in to the building.

Alexis sees a bunch of people she recognises and tell Noah "Brother, I will see you in a bit" proceeds to point to a few of girls waving at them he waves back and says " I will there with Chuck" pointing to Chuck.

Alexis replies "Okay" and walks away.

Noah makes his way towards Chuck, who upon seeing him tells the girls beside him "Girls if you could please excuse us" hinting at giving them some space.

Noah seeing the girls standing up to leave says "Sorry for the inconvenience ladies..." and sits down.

Noah then asks "Tell me chuck what did you want to discuss."

===============================================

[EXT - WALDORF RESIDENCE]

We see the doorman opening the door of a town car, Serena gets out, and says "Thank you." to the doorman

[CUT TO -BLAIR'S BEDROOM]

We see Blair and Nate are kissing on the bed, undressed. Blair says "I love you. Nate Archibald. Always have, always will."

Nate reciprocates with " I love you too."

[INT - WALDORF RESIDENCE]

Serena walks in and gets noticed by Eleanor, who asks "Serena van der Woodsen? Is that you?" not sure whether to trust what she was seeing.

Eleanor knocks on the door to Blairs room and yells for Blair to hear "Blair, it's Serena!"

Nate not sure if he heard right goes "Serena?" 

Blair not wanting Nate to stop says " Serena is at school. Kiss me."

Nate with unresolved feelings for Serena and also feeling guilty says " No, I think I heard your mom say she's here. Don't you wanna go say hey?"

Nate gets of the bed and starts getting dressed

Blair seeing this says "Yeah... totally." with an eye roll.

[CUT TO - CHUCK AND NOAH]

Chuck says " Well first of all from today we are cofounders. Congratulations Noah Castle and Thank you for think of me worthy to work with you." with a proud and happy smile.

Noah hearing curls his fist up and punches the air in joy and says " Yesss....Finally..."

Chuck is a bit taken aback by this and says "I didn't know it meant this much to you..." to which Noah replies "You have no idea my friend how much of weight has been lifted. Now we can finally start making preparations for the future properly."

"What are you taking about??" Asks Chuck seeing Noah look like a man possessed. This is only the Second time he has scene his friend like this. Just thinking about the first Chuck shivers...\

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-[A Glimpse into the past]-

(Night - Raining Heavily)

We see Chuck standing holding an umbrella looking towards a particular direction with an expression of disbelief . Panning to the direction we see Noah walking towards Chuck soaked in blood...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck snaps out of the memory

Noah says "I due time my friend. All will be revealed in time" with cold calculative eyes.

Chuck a bit scared of this side of his childhood friend tries to change the subject just then 

Beep ..... ting... change.. beeppp...... a lot of phones start getting messages simultaneously Chuck and Noah both look around. Chuck to curb his curiosity takes his cell out and sees two updates from Gossip girl 

First is about Serena returning this stunts him a bit but seeing the next one he looks to Noah shocked

Noah seeing chuck in such shock and the people around whispering about dead bodies asks Chuck "What is it Chuck??" a bit frustrated. Seeing this Chuck passes him the phone.

Noah sees the update in question which reads
