Chapter 1

Kate's P.O.V
I picked up the paper that was lying on my door mat to see the picture of me stood in front of the singer I was guarding last night. It was 9am and I had only just got in from the job. Being a bodyguard was what I wanted to be ever since I read the article where the bodyguard couldn't protect my favorite artist. I didn't mind the late night so much because I never wanted what happened to happen to anyone. The bodyguard was drugged and the singer was murder. They were never caught. One of the perks of my job was that I got to meet new people all the time and they were famous. One of the downsizes of being the bodyguard was that I was mainly stopping the fans which was okay I guess but they only wanted to see who I was protecting.

This was the third time this week I had come home to a quite house opinion the evening and it was better this way. My mother was out at a friends house usually and my 5 year old daughter Alexis was at a friends house after school having a play date with one of her new school friends. I could get some writing done before anyone came home but this often led to me falling asleep at my desk like I did last night. I had not long since woke up after falling asleep at my desk when I heard a knock at the door. Thinking it would be my mother coming to change her clothes before going to her drama studio I walked over to open it. I stretched, rubbed my eyes and adjusted my shirt before reaching the door. What appeared when I opened it shocked me. It wasn't my mother it was … a box with a white envelope on it addressed to a Richard Castle. Me it was addressed to me?! I took the box inside off my door mat and placed it on the kitchen side whilst I got a drink. I went to go check on Alexis and ask her how her play date had been but I didn't want to wake her so I crept up the stairs and peered into her room pushing the door gently so I could see her. She was fast asleep so I headed back down the stair to open the box that was sat on the counter. I opened the box first, puzzled as to what it could be. Inside were a manuscript and a lot of drawings. I just looked at the title of the manuscript. It read GOODBYE RICK in bold letters.
