Chapter One:
Richard Castle could be called many things, some of which were a doting father, an ex-playboy, a writer, even a consultant. But at this exact moment, the only word that could be used to label him was that of victim.
For you see, Richard Castle had been kidnapped.
Most kidnappers wanted something from either the victim or the victims loved ones. Richard Castle was a rich man, having over two dozen best sellers to his name had made him very wealthy, but it wasn't money that these people were after. It was something else entirely, they wanted information.
Information that he didn't have and that that he did have, he wouldn't willingly share. They wanted information about Beckett.
More specifically about her search into the murder of her late mother, Montgomery's files and just who it was that was bargaining to keep her safe from the wrath of the hideous villain who had started it all.
He only knew bits and pieces of the story, some of it was still a complete mystery, like the caller who phoned to warn him about keeping Beckett away from the case. Or just what exactly those incriminating files had on the villain.
But he did know a few things, things that he wouldn't willingly share with these people. For if he did, they could easily finish their overall task of eliminating one Katherine Beckett from the game completely.
Love was a powerful thing, it had inspired people to do things that were irrational, Shakespeare had even written about it. The overwhelming catastrophe that was Romeo and Juliet, but as the metal pipe crashed down on his right shoulder and Castle bit back the scream of pain, he couldn't help but to think that Romeo and Juliet's ill-fated love had nothing on his loyalty to Kate Beckett.

A Day Ago:
RC POV:
It was already late or early depending on how one looked at it, as I made my way to the door of the Old Haunt; someone was banging on it even though the pub was closed for the night. It was after three in the morning after all.
Everyone had already left, patrons and employees alike, yet I remained at the pub attempting to hammer out a chapter that was long past due. Gina had been calling every few hours to ask about it, well demanding and threatening me about it really.
Inspiration was somewhat scarce these days, things with Beckett were at a standstill and although I was still shadowing her nothing was inspiring any new stories for me. But Gina didn't care about inspiration, she just wanted chapters. And if I wanted to get her off my back, I would have to give her what she wanted; I could only avoid her for so long after all.
With a huff of annoyance, I opened the door, forcing the lock open sharply; I was irritated with whoever it was on the other side. The door was firmly closed and locked, the lights were off, how could they even think that it was open was beyond me. I intended to give them a bit of a telling off.
Gina had put me in a bad mood with her latest phone call which was only twenty minutes ago, ripping the door open, I glared at the man before me. He was tall, with short dark hair and a solid build to him. Immediately I felt ill at ease, something just didn't seem right.
There was something about this guy that sent a chill up my spine, and it didn't take long before I found out exactly why that was. The smile he favoured me with was cruel, twisted and dark, that was the only warning I had.
His hands shot out to my chest, taking a hold of my shirt before tossing me back carelessly. Not having expected something like this to happen, I stumbled back gracelessly, tripping down the few stairs to land up sprawled out on the floor.
I shook my head trying to dispel the daze that was descending on my mind as I struggled to push myself up; the impact had been hard on my body. But I wasn't about to go out without some sort of fight.
He walked calmly towards me, his hands cladded in black leather gloves, an injection dangling from his right hand. It motivated and gave me the strength I needed to stumble up to my feet. Swinging at him, he ducked my blow with ease.
More and more, I found myself not liking this situation.
I wasn't the type of person to give up on anything, and I wasn't about to just quit whatever it was that this situation was. The blows that I threw were either ducked or blocked; I couldn't seem to land a punch on this guy. And I was running out of space as he advanced on me while I kept stepping back.
Finally I landed a blow, one right to the jaw. My victory was short lived through; he slowly turned to face me, shaking off the blow as if though it was nothing. It was his eyes that immediately told me something had just changed.
Before they had been dead, nothing showing in them, just dark and beady. But now, there was a controlled fury to them.
His leg snapped up fast and unrelenting, the strength of the kick took me by complete surprise, forcing me to my knees at it landed on my side. What followed was nothing but a one way beating.
The punches that I landed seemed to do no damage, just causing a small cut on the corner of his mouth and some redness to the area around his eye. Yet my blood flowed freely as his clenched hands met my face, as I slumped down to the ground out of energy and strength to carry on fighting the injection materialised in his hand yet again.
My struggles against his grasp were pathetic as he forced the needle to pierce the skin of my neck. I didn't know what it was but the effects were immediate. Everything started to swirl about and blackness encroached upon my vision until finally it was the last thing that I saw.
