A Femme Fatale

Disclaimer: I do not own Castle. I am just a high school student.

Author Note: This takes place in between Season's 3 and 4

Summary: When Castle takes on a new case with Detective Beckett, he gets more than what he bargained for.

When, they got back to the precinct, Beckett sat down in her usual chair. She looked across the room.

"Ryan!" she called out.

"Yeah?" he asked as he came out with a stack of files.

"Were you able to get an ID?" she asked.

Ryan set the papers down and looked at her.

"John Anderson. 27. Had no other priors. Young kid. Went to University of Southern California." Ryan said.

"What's a guy from USC doing all the way out here in New York?" Castle asked. "Are his parents still alive?"

"No, but his sister is still alive. Lives in Brooklyn."

"Alright, get her down here ASAP. Also, try to see if and where he worked and check his financials. Might be something useful" Beckett told him.

Ryan nodded and left. Castle sat in a chair next to Beckett. Their shoulders were brushing. Beckett looked at him, with one eyebrow raised, but Castle treated it as if it was normal.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"Strange. Kid who comes from USC is all the way here in New York. Maybe he was living with his sister." she said.

"Perhaps" Castle remarked. They were sitting there, letting time pass by, while both were self conscious that their shoulders were still brushing against each other.

"Yo." Esposito said as Castle scooted his chair over so that their shoulders weren't brushing any more. As soon as he moved his chair over, Beckett immediately missed the contact. It was weird that he was doing this type of contact all the sudden, but it felt nice.

"What did you find?" Kate asked.

"Turns out that our vic made a withdrawal of 9 grand from his account. His sister is coming in right now."

"Alright, thanks Espo"
