The Day to Day
Casket lover: I do not own "Castle" that prized possession belongs to "TPTB" and "ABC" and their parent company "Disney".
~Casket Lover Enjoy~
The next morning
Beckett is at her desk chewing on the end of her pen. Castle walks up with the usual gift of caffeine.
Castle: You know Beckett if you keep chewing that pen like that, you will have a mouth full of ink.
Beckett: (She looks at the pen she was slowly destroying because of stress) Yeah that would not be pleasant.
Castle: What's on your mind detective?
Beckett: Oh the usual dead bodies from a crime and Lanie bursting in claiming she has evidence of my deceit.
Castle: She knows nothing.
Gates walks up
Gates: We have a kidnapping.
Beckett: I hate those cases…but why are we involved? We are homicide.
Gates: The mayor asked for you personally.
Castle: Who is it that got kidnapped? Is it some relative of his? (He asks worriedly)
Beckett forgets the captain is there and puts a reassuring hand on his arm.
Gates: Detective Beckett, you need to show a little more professionalism in the police department.
Gates walks away
Castle: Man you just can never win with her, can you?
Beckett: Forget her. We need to go talk to the mayor and see what is going on.
City Hall
The mayor had been waiting for them and rushes to greet them.
Beckett: Sir first off I need to know who actually is missing.
Mayor: I am sorry that I could not let your captain know.
Castle: Who is missing?
Mayor: I am not proud of this but my daughter.
Castle: You have a daughter?
Mayor: I give child support to the mother. But I have never acknowledged I have a daughter publicly.
Beckett: What I don't get is why someone took her. You just said no one knows you have a child.
Castle: Is someone angry with you?
Mayor: Not me the mother.
Beckett: Did she tell this person you are the girl's father?
Mayor: Apparently she did. He is a drug addict on probation.
