It was 5 am Sunday morning. Rick was in bed with his laptop writing out his new chapter from his new book "Out Of The Heat". Kate was asleep next to him. It wasn't long before her phone started to ring. Rick reached over and saw it was Javier. He leaned over then woke up Kate. He told her it was work. Even though the team knew her and Rick were together. He still would never answer her phone unless she was awake and said it was ok.
"Kate it's your work. Please answer the phone?" Rick went to her with the phone in his hand.
"Ok" Kate answered as she woke up.
"Hello? Yeah ok I'll be there be about 20 minutes" Kate went as she got up then headed for the bathroom for her morning shower.
She always loved her morning showers it woke her up. It made her ready for the day. After she came out from the bedroom she noticed Rick was ready and making coffee for them both in the kitchen. That what she loved the most on any morning was Rick's coffee. Rick heard Kate's footsteps coming closer while he made their coffee. He feels her arms wrap around his waist and she gives him a kiss on his cheek while she reached for her coffee.
"Good morning beautiful" Rick said turning around then kissing Kate on her lips.
"Good Morning handsome" Kate replied.
"Where is the Crime scene?" Rick asked as he took a sip of his coffee then walked over to the table.
"6th on and Lex" Kate said as she put her coat.
"Come on let's go" Rick goes as he walks past her to open the loft door.

When they arrived at the crime scene Castle felt a sense of Deja Vu . Kate turned her head and looked at Castle she could tell he was thinking about something as he always made a face when he was thinking. She loved that about him but she knew Lanie and the boys were waiting.
"Let's go in see what Lanie got for us" Kate said as she got out of the car.
"Kate? I know this place from somewhere? I just can not place it right now." Rick told her as he got out of the car.
Meanwhile, Lanie was examining the young girl's body looking up she saw Rick and Kate approach with a coffee in both their hands. That was their thing, coffee in the morning. Javier and Kevin were standing there waiting for Beckett's normal questions.
"Lanie what do we have?" Kate asked.
"The victim is a young girl about 25. She has several stabs wounds on her back that's the COD. I will find out more when I get her back into the morgue" Lanie stated while showing the stab wounds on her body.
"Ok thanks Lanie" Kate said.
All off sudden Kate went pale and looked away from the body and up at the boys and Rick. It reminded her to much of her mother's murder. The stabs wounds, the color of the victim's hair, It was all too much like her mom's. Rick noticed Kate's demeanor had changed. There was something wrong! He placed his hand on her back to reassure her. Kate looked up then smiled. Kevin, Javier and Lanie also noticed Kate go pale. Lanie covered the young woman back up.
"What information do we have about the young woman?" Kate asked as they walked away back to their cars.
"A young woman called Lexi Day, she is 25 years old and she is a lawyer. She has no brothers are sisters but she has a mom and dad who live in Boston and a boyfriend who works for New York city fire department his name is Ben James" Javier told them as he read from his note pad.
"Has the parents been told?" Kate asked.
"No not yet we couldn't find a number for them and Lexi phone was not here only a number for Ben in her bag with her purse" Kevin said.
"Ok well you go back to the 12th search for her parents while Castle and I go and see the Boyfriend" Kate said as they got into the car.
The boys could sense that Kate wanted to get away from this crime scene and so did Rick but he knew he would talk to her in the car on the way to where the boyfriend works. Kate started the car and sped off to the fire department while Kevin and Javier returned to12th.
"Bro did you notice Beckett go all wired at the scene?" Kevin asked Javier when they were in the car.
"Yeah I did Bro. Look how fast she wanted to get away from it as well" Javier said.
"Wow Bro it just clicked everything looks the same as Johanna Beckett murder only this time its in Club car park and not an alley and the young woman is not Johanna" Kevin shockingly said.
"You right Kev! I didn't notice Kate probably did though that's why she actthat way" Javier exclaimed.
"I know we have to keep an eye on her Bro" Kevin told him.
Meanwhile in Beckett's car Castle was looking at Kate. The look of pain on her face told Rick she was thinking about her Mother's murder even after all of these years. Rick had to get Kate to talk to before they arrived to talk to Ben.
"Kate? Are you ok?" Rick asked his bright blue eyes showing much worry in them.
Kate looked at Rick as he said that and smiled at him and turned back her eyes back to the road.
"Yeah I am fine Castle just…" Kate went she couldn't finish the sentence.
"I know Kate. The Crime Scene reminded you of that awful event 20 years ago. I can see it is affecting you." Rick said with much compassion in his voice.
"Rick, it's not only that it's what you said at the crime scene as well I know why you know that place" Kate said.
"How Kate?" Rick asked being all curious hoping Kate had the answer which so far had eluded him.
Kate quickly pulled over to stop then burst into tears. Rick reached over and hugged her until she had calmed down.
"My mom was murdered in the alley across from crime scene" Kate tearful told him. "I could see it in the distance as I look over the body."
Rick was shocked. He couldn't believe that this was happen a week before her mom's 20th year anniversary of her death. He knew this case was going to be hard for her but he was there no matter what. Kate sorted her self out started the car and headed to the fire department to see Ben.
"Everything is going to be alright I promise you Kate" Rick went.
"Promise?" Kate asked.
"Always" Rick replied.

Meanwhile on the other side of New York there was a call. A man answered.
"It's done she is dead no one will ever find out" the voice of caller stated.
"Good your money should be in the bank" The Man who picked up said.
