It was an abnormally peaceful day in the Castle house hold. Martha had gone out and had yet to return, Alexis had spent most of the night in the library studying for finals, then had crashed on the couch. Castle had just fallen asleep after finishing a chapter for his newest book, Forbidden Heat. For once it was quiet. Too quiet. Detective Kate Beckett had become a custom to the sounds that plagued the Castle house. The clicking of the keys on the computer, the sound of the propellers on the toy helicopter, even the sound of the blender cutting on at random times during the night, and that was all Castle. It pained Beckett to say, but she actually missed the noise.
She layed in bed just staring at the ceiling, just waiting for something to happen. Praying for a phone call.
She got what she wanted. Her phone started ringing. She practically jumped off the bed , causing Castle to squirm under the covers. She answered her phone with her usual "Beckett" then started moving towards the office, trying to avoid waking up Castle. "Kate, I need you to come in" Kate startled she was not expecting Lanie to call this time of night, her tone bothered her the most. It wasn't her usual happy tone. It was weighed down, like she was holding something back.
"Lanie, whats wrong"
"Just come in, and bring Castle"
The phone call ended suddenly. Kate stood still for a couple of minutes lost in thought. What was wrong? Why is Lanie calling me this late? What was going on?
Kate was thrown from her thoughts when she heard her name being called. She turned around. "Castle, get dressed." "We have a case?" She could tell he was still tired.
"I don't know"
