Richard Castle doesn't know what to make of it. After construction had been done on the third floor of the Loft to make room for the twins finally been delivered.
The construction crews opening part of a section on the third floor had found a skeleton behind the wall of the loft. Foreman Larry Saunders had called Richard Castle and his police officer wife Kate Beckett to the third floor to show the evidence.
They just couldn't believed it that an actual body skeleton was found only a few days away from Halloween. Beckett had thought at the time that it might of been a Halloween joke by Richard Castle.
The police and the medical examiner had to be called to the Loft to remove the skeleton remains and bring it back to the Medical Examiner's office to start an investigation. Sergeant Esposito was sent to speak with Castle in regard to the previous owners of the loft and beyond.
Sergeant Esposito had asked Castle with the loft was decorated for Halloween while the twins were moved into the nursery, while Reece and Andrea were sleeping on the second floor with just one guest room towards the back. "All I can tell you bro is call the landlord/realtor and find out the names of those having to lived in the loft the past fifty years." Castle said with looking over at his wife sitting inside the living area.
"I certainly will Castle. When I get back to the precinct. " He turned to face Captain Kate Beckett. "What do you think of it?" Beckett?"
"I have no idea Javi. I suggest you do your job and call the realtor to get those names. After you do, I need for you to set up teams for the morning to check them out for where they are living now. That's if they are still alive after all this time.

"Here they are Sergeant Esposito. Robert Cumberland for ten years, Anthony and Mary Rosoto for 15 years, Jihad Isiah five years and the last one Randle Kirk for 25 years. This was when the building opened up. Otherwise I have no idea on whether all of these people are still alive. That's all I have listed for the registry, please keep me updated on the I.D. of the skeleton." He asked before ending the conversation between the both of them.
Esposito looked at the group including his partner. "We will get to work on the list early in the morning." He said just when the coroner and two techs came down with the stretcher and a body bag having placed the skeleton bones inside to be checked out.
Doctor Lisa Anderson once again working the over night shift had her hands full with trying to figure out who the bones belong to. While Melanie and another moved out the stretcher into the hallway and the elevator heading for the county medical examiner's van inside the under ground parking lot.
