A Murder On Repeat – Part One
5.30am. Kate lays in bed with her eyes wide open. She looks at the ceiling. There's a little black spot right above her. Castle lays a sleep right next to her. He's breathing quiet heavily. Must be an upcoming cold. The winter has been tough over the past couple of week. And more and more people from the precinct were home with the flu.

She and Castle had just finished diner and were ready to snuggle up on the couch and watch Forbidden Planet, which Castle had just purchased in the renewed version, when Ryan had called her. There had been a murder uptown. Castle and she both went up to the bedroom for a quick change and had left the apartment within six minutes. A personal record!
From afar she could already see her people working the crime scene. Esposito and Ryan had both come up to them for a short briefing. The deceased was a woman in her late forties, it look liked she had had a date and just fell asleep, right there, on the street, in the snow. Lanie suspected some kind of a poison, but they needed to wait for the autopsy to be finished, to be sure. There were no witnesses and barely any other physical evidence. The id Ryan held in his hand, had been in the right pocket of her coat. Her gloves were bagged by Esposito.
She walked up to the body, Castle following her closely. When she was close to the body, she froze. With big eyes, she looked at the body. She couldn't move, in disbelieve of what she was staring at. This was just not possible! Castle looked at her. "Beckett? What's wrong?" Her name echoed in her head. But she couldn't respond. "Kate?"
