As we walked home, I felt a strange feeling brewing inside me. I
ignored it.

Dear Castle,
Just as I thought my life was starting to get better, everything came
crashing down. I'm sorry I haven't written to you in a while. Eva is
gone. Last week at around midnight, there was a scream. And my cop
instincts clicked in. Something smashed. I went to get out my gun
but…. I don't have a gun. By the time I got out the door, everything
had gone quiet. The lights were out. Being without a gun in a
dangerous situation is uncomfortable. Her door had been knocked down.
When the police came, they asked me if anything might've been stolen.
At first I couldn't think of anything that could've been taken. Then I
realised. What the whole thing was about. Everything that had involved
our case had gone missing. Everything. Including Eva. It's my fault,
Castle. I shouldn't have encouraged her. Now she's gone. No trace. I
didn't take it well. I finally managed to pull myself together so I
could write this.
Everyone close to me, I end up hurting. I don't know if I can do this anymore.
Castle, I wish you were here. Everything's falling apart.
Kate.

Kate.
I'm so sorry, I really am. Don't give up Kate. We can get through
this. Hold on. Never give up hope. I'm really sorry about Eva. It's
not your fault. None of this is your fault. You are one of the
strongest people I have ever met in my life, Kate. You have been
through so much. Eva sounds like a fantastic person, and I'm sure that
the police will find her. She could've been working on any case, just
because she was involved with ours doesn't mean that she was kidnapped
because of it.
I believe in you Kate. Don't ever forget that. Everyone back in New
York believes in you as well. You have never let anyone down.
Stay Strong.
With Love,
Rick. xo
