...July 10th, Friday...

...2015...New York...8:46 PM...

Esposito is driving New York ME Lanie to her apartment building. It is dark out. Not a car is in sight in the nightly lit New York Cit except for the car being driven by Esposit

"Castle has been acting strangely lately," Lanie said.

Esposito stops at a red light.

"Castle acting strange?" Esposito repeats. "He is the guy who writes mystery novels featuring fictional characters about us."

"Bu this is different coming from him," Lanie said. "This morning Castle asked me if it were possible for a dead body's skeletons to keep memories when it has been 'metalfied'."

"And?" Esposito asks.

"I said it is impossible," Lanie said. "And Castle went 'oh'. Then Beckett asked me about the victim..."

The light turns green.

"He probably is writing a impossible character for a murder," Esposito said, driving down the road.

Shortly afterwards a ball appears right in the space where Esposito had stopped at the red light coming off a large lightbulb. Electricity flew sparking in different directions around the huge disco ball illuminating the entire street making it seem there is a party going on the road. The light dies down revealing a gray ball jolting little electric bolts. The gray ball cracks and cracks little by little eventually it came apart by square pieces rolling down until all that is left of the ball is a large crater with a man in the center kneeling.

That is no man.

The figure's eyes are closed as steam radiates off his body.

That is a Terminator.

This is a T-1000 to be precise.

T-1000's eyes open. A patrol officer came by without a partner in the vehicle. The patrol officer came to stop mere feet away from the T-1000. The T-1000 stands up staring in the patrol officer's direction. The patrol officer gets out of the patrol car noticing T-1000 lacks any shirt of clothing to cover his private.

"Are you okay, sir?" Officer David asks.

T-1000 came towards Officer David.

"I like your uniform," T-1000 said, approaching Officer David.. "Don't scream."

T-1000's right hand transforms into a long gray blade and jabbed it into Officer David's chest.

"No," Officer David said. "I can't...die...like...this."

"Yes, you can," T-1000 said, yanking his blade out.

Officer David collapses to the ground promptly dead.

T-1000 looks around for any eyewitnesses then strips Officer David of his uniform.
