Hey everyone! This is another fic I pulled out of thin air... I hope all of you like it... I'll try to post one chapter at least once a week because I'm stacked with a lot of work... Sorry!

This is set somewhere between Season 2 and 3, over the summer... Alexis is at her Princeton Summer Program and believes she has a stalker. With her dad out of reach in the Hamptons, who does she call? Why, our favourite detectives of course!

Alexis Castle walks down the corridor of the Princeton campus, linked arm to arm with her new roommate and friend, Charlotte Buskin, which she made the first day here. A boy who lives in the dorm across the hall and a few doors down 'accidently' bumps into her. Alexis is getting paranoid. She swore she saw the exact boy a few minutes ago, outside her classroom, and the other day, saw him staring at her in the court-yard while she was eating. It was getting creepy.

A boy enters his room. Lucky for him, he doesn't have a roommate and doesn't have to share with anyone and can decorate the walls all he wants. He opens up a secret room which no one would notice if they didn't look properly. Inside, the walls are covered with cut-up articles and various pictures of a one red-headed teen. He stops, short, to the nearest picture hung upon the wall. He takes two fingers and brings it up to his lips to kiss it; he then places it on the picture. This particular picture was a large photo of the red-headed teenager, her hair sashayed down to her back and she was smiling, right at him. Perfect.

Kate Beckett, Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan are throwing around a baseball, bored out of their minds. It has been a slow week. It's as if all the murderers have gone on holiday over the summer, or disappeared, along with the one Richard Castle.

Beckett's best friend and ME, Lanie Parish, walks in. It's around lunch time and everyone grabs their jacket to eat some food down by Remy's. They have those burgers... and those shakes...

Alexis, Charlotte and their group of friends are seated at their usual spot under the large oak tree, which faces the beautiful court-yard and water fountain. They're laughing their heads off and the boy which Alexis saw earlier accidently bumps into one of the girls, Madeline. He has a camera hanging off his neck, which hits Madeline in the arm.

Madeline, well-known for her short temper yells, "Hey! Watch it. Girls are sitting here! What's your problem?"

The boy tries to stutter out his apology but Maddie gives him no chance.

"Can't you see us? There are at least ten! It's not like we're as low as the ground!"

Alexis, being the sweet girl she is, picks us the fallen photos which have dropped to the ground, and tells her friend, "Hey! Maddie, just cool it? K? He only bumped into you with his camera. Calm down. Take deep breaths."

She then gives the photos back, but not before she takes a look at them. "Wow, these are nice shots. Here you..."

Alexis stops short. She drops the photos and runs. Her worst fears have been confirmed. Lex doesn't hear her friends calling out to tell her to stop. Another friend, Sarah, picks up the fallen photos and ticks them into her diary without anyone looking.

Alexis presses speed dial 1 and impatiently waits for her father to pick up.

Hey! You've reached Richard Castle. Sorry I can't get to the phone right now, but you know what to do! Leave a message and I'll get back to you. But be warned, if you're a stalker fan, I have connections and I'm not afraid to use it! *Beep*

Frightened, Lex ends the call and presses speed dial 3. This is her last hope.

The team return from their punch out at the gym. With nothing to do, Esposito and Ryan decide to take on Beckett, a 2-on-1 'punch out'. Of course, as usual, Beckett comes out victorious and Esposito is sporting a bleeding nose and Ryan is sporting a sprained hand. Beckett's cell rings and Esposito and Ryan both thinking it was a murder, looks up hopefully. The voice on the other end is soft, but able to be heard.

"Kate? It's Alexis. I-I-I need your help."
