Kate glanced up, gazing at the bottle of wine Castle had left on the table. She got up in search of a glass and began to run a bath. In picking up Castle's latest novel, she realised she had left it on the coffee table, it was right next to the bottle of wine; Castle almost certainly would have seen it.
Kate smiled and shook her head.
No wonder he had laughed.

The precinct was quiet as Kate emerged from the lift the following morning. Which is unusual, people were usually bustling about, getting work done. Even at 8:00 in the morning.

Settling down to do her paperwork from the following day's unfinished case, her eyes were drawn to the murder board.
The two victim's faces stared back blankly. Kate had to solve this case, but where did those girls go before they died?
It seemed they had questioned everyone possible and followed every lead, but they simply had to be missing something!

"Hey,"

Kate snapped from her chain of thought to see Castle standing next to her, holding a cup of coffee.

"I brought you your usual." Castle smiled as he handed her the large coffee.

"Thanks Castle, any thoughts?" Beckoning to the murder board with her elbow. Kate stood up and brushed past Castle, waking towards the board.
There was a gap in the timeline, inconsistencies in witness reports and everything was getting them nowhere.

"Beckett."

Kate turned to Esposito and Ryan, who were hurriedly walking towards them, they must have something. This had better be good.

"One of the witnesses you told us to check out just let on that they recall seeing the Vic's outside their apartment around 2:30am, saying they had gotten out of a taxi."

That was new. No one had said anything about a taxi. They would have to find the driver and bring him in for questioning.

"But wait, there's more." Ryan continued. "The witness was getting back from a party himself, and couldn't exactly identify the girls, but he did say that they were making an awful lot of noise for two girls."

Ryan glanced to Esposito who carried on from his sentence. "Now here's the fun part. The witness also remembers seeing another person entering the apartment not long after the girls, but then two people leaving around 3:30am. He just figured it was one of the girl's boyfriends coming to pick them up."

Kate's minds rushed with possibilities of the case.

"Esposito, call the witness in, I want you to talk to him again, see if you can get any more out of him." Esposito nodded and pulled his phone out of his pocket as he walked away, hastily speaking orders into it.
"Ryan, I want you to try and pull security tapes from in and around the building between 2:00am and 4:00." Ryan ducked his head and turned to make his way to his desk.

"You were right Castle, there might just be two killers, and we have someone who might just be able to tell us where they were."

Kate looked behind her to see Castle poking through her notes and she rolled her eyes as he gave her an innocent look as she caught him.

"Come on Castle, what are you doing? Let's go interview a taxi driver."

Castle jumped up from his chair and grinned, he loved footwork far too much. Kate smiled to herself and gave Castle a disapproving look as she picked up the coat she had thrown across the back of her chair as she came in.

"How do we know which cab company she used? Oh, where are we going to find the driver?" Castle bustled with questions, being annoyingly curious about everything seems to be his job.

"Ryan."

Hearing his name, Ryan stretched his head above the computer's monitor.

"Did the witness say which cab the girls took?"

Ryan ruffled his papers, looking for something and then seeming to find it, he gave them the company and address.
After writing down the address Kate paused to say thank you, but Ryan was preoccupied with the computer.

Kate felt a nudge at her back. Castle was standing right behind her, he was obviously eager to go.
Kate tightened her scarf and brushed Castle off as she walked to the elevator, discussing details of the case.
