I'm not really sure how long this one will be or where exactly I'm going with it.

Just have this idea in my head and trying to get it out :)

I do not own Castle!

Chapter 1:

Slowly pulling in, Kate parked her car in front of the hotel. She had hoped to get a good night of sleep, but as often criminals wouldn't stick to just the daytime. It was half past one when was woken by the ringing of her phone and there she was, half an hour later, at the „Kaden's", a five-star luxury-hotel, also booked by celebrities sometimes.

When she got through the revolving door she was confronted with maybe a dozen people, probably guests of the hotel. They seemed upset and worried and some of them had already packed, wanting to leave. The manager tried to calm them down, when he noticed Beckett: „Detective! Please, could you spare a minute? Some of our guests heard of the murder and now they are worried for there lives and want to leave."

„I'm sorry Mr. ...?".

„Davidson. Connor Davidson. I'm the manager. Could you explain to them that it was probably just an accident?"

„I'm sorry Mr. Davidson, I can't do that. Not until I looked into what's been really going on up there. But I will need your guests to stay here, though. At least until we've taken their contact information, just in case they've seen or heard something."

„But detective! The guests ... my hotel. My reputation!"

„I'm sorry, but I can't." To avoid further begging she was changing the subject to something more important right now. „So which room is my crime scene?"

„Ah, ... room 709."

„Thanks, we'll talk again later." With this she was finally heading towards the elevators.

Getting inside she pressed the button with the number 7. As the doors closed she wished she hadn't rushed this much to get here. She should have at least taken her time to finish her coffee. She was still damn tired, but that didn't matter right now, because she had an appointment with a dead body.


Room 709. This wasn't a room. This was almost as big as her own apartment.

While she was looking around she found that all her friends were already there. Lanie was looking at a man, who lay in the bathroom. It looked like he fell backwards, right into the tub, after he had been shot in the head. Maybe he tried to escape, but he never had a chance. Looking down the hall she saw Ryan and Esposito talking to a housekeeper in the living room. CSU was already working the crime scene. The only one she hadn't seen yet was Castle. She walked on, looked into the second bathroom, but nothing. Then into the master bedroom and there he was, standing in front of another body. A blond woman. Her arms where stretched out beside her, her legs were bended and she was also shot in the head.

„Someone's having fun", Beckett said while looking at Castle, his eyes still on the body.

„Had fun, Beckett. I don't think she can enjoy anything anymore", he said, finally turning to look at her. Now that she was facing him she could see that he was holding two cups of coffee in his left hand in a coffee cup carrier. A small smile formed on her lips.

„I wasn't talking about the victim Castle", she told him with a small grin, raising one eyebrow.

„Me?" Castle asked surprised. „No, I was just thinking. And besides, I prefer pulse ... and brunette."

„Brunette? Since when?" Beckett questioned, obviously thinking about Meredith, Gina ... and Serena.

„A while", he tells her, staring at her. She's noticing, of course she's noticing. She is looking at him herself. It's not uncomfortable, but she's not sure that she is ready so she breaks this moment.

„Ahm, .. my coffee, Castle. My coffee."

„Yes, sure. It's still warm." He told her, handing her her cup, just to get a smile from her in response.
