Chapter 1.

It had been many years since Angela Reece was in New York. She came back because her father wanted to see her but when she arrived at her father's home she got the feeling that the rest of the family did not want her there.

"Hello everyone, I know you don't want me here but father wanted to see me, so where is he?" asked Angine. "I'm here Angela", said Jack Reece and when Angela turned to see her father what she saw shocked her dearly. They spoke briefly in front of the rest of the family but then they went to his study where he explained why he wanted to speak with her face to face.

"Why now after all this time would you tell me this?" asked Angela. Jack looked at her with sadness in his eyes and replied "Because Angela I am dying and you deserved to hear it from me now before I passed away rather than the others tell you the day of my furnel". "Thank you for telling me but it does not change what has happened, I will be in New York for a month doing some work, so if you need me this is where I am staying", said Angela as she walked around his desk and gave him a hug and a kiss on his cheek as she whispered "I love you dad" in his ear.

Angela was coming out of the study when she saw her good friend Rick Castle with a tall brunette who has a shield and gun trying to get to speak to her father. "Look Mr. Reece if you don't let us speak to your father I will arrest you for Obstructation of Justice", said Detective Kate Beckett.

"Gary, let me speak with them for a few moments", said Angela & the look her gave her did not go un-noticed by Beckett or Castle. "Rick Rogers as I live and breathe, and you are with an NYPD Detective", said Angela. "Angela it's been a long time, this is Detective Kate Beckett, I work alongside her and her team as a consultant with the 12th prescient", said Rick.

Beckett shook hands with Angela and she brought them both aside where she could speak with them privately.

A/N: Reviews are most welcome. Will Kate ask that question before getting to why she wants to speak with Angela's Father?
