The days went by slowly, Javi, Ryan and Kate spend all day and most of the night in the Precinct getting nowhere. There were no prints at all. The only thing they knew is that the shooter was dressed up as a groundskeeper. Kate waited and waited for a call or text message from Castle. The more she stared at her phone the more anxious she got.

Kate was sat at her desk staring at the computer when her phone buzzed.

"Beckett" She said in the phone,

"Hey detective, it's um Alexis." The girl said quietly into the phone.

"Is it Castle? Is he ok?" Kate said beginning to panic,

"He's fine, just thought you would like to know that he's off to the Hamptons for a while." Alexis said waiting to see what Kate said,

"Yeah ok well thanks for letting me know, bye." Kate said about to hang up.

"Wait detective!" Alexis said on the other end of the line,

"What's up?" Kate said beginning to think something was actually wrong.

"Why haven't you rang dad or came to visit him?" Alexis said wanting to know why the detective was ignoring her father, "Did you guys have a fight?" She asked curiously, "Not that it's any of my business…." She trailed off.

"It's ok Alexis," Kate said smiling, she reminded her so much of Castle, "We didn't have a fight, he said he needed time and he would call me."

"Oh ok well thanks bye." Alexis said and hung up leaving the detective sitting there wondering why Castle was well enough to go to the Hamptons but not ring her.
