Okay so I know that I haven't uploaded chapters in over a month but let's just say it has been rough. I finished school and was a bit depressed when going out to summer vacation because some of my best friends were leaving forever. So yeah… Wasn't exactly in the mood to write. As some of you might know I used to write chapters during my history class. My friend found my last chapter before school ended and I couldn't find it afterwards, she probably took it with her on the last day. ANYWAY without more babbling about my life this chapter will probably be one of the lasts in the Only to Us series. Unless someone hands me insparation :))
It was 2 weeks later when they drove to a crime scene when she felt.. different. She had no idea how to explain it but she just felt that something had changed. Castle still had a cast and all she had to show for her injury was a scar, another one to the collection she thought.
They were meeting the boys and lanie at the scene but they were having traffic issues. Always was the same thing with a car in new york. Kate sighed and looked over to her husband.
"If you are tired of driving why don't you just let me do it for once?" he asked suddenly
"You wish Castle, there is no way that I am letting you drive my cruiser"
"You'll see, one day you will be begging me to drive" he said as he pouted slightly
She laughed at him.
20 minutes of frustrating traffic later they got to the tiny store where the were going to approach another body.
The store seemed peaceful, it was a tiny little bookshop at the corner of the street. But once they stepped inside it was a whole new world, books scattered across the floor, pages ripped and torn out of their place. Everything seemed upside down.
"Alice Donnovan, 19." Ryan came informing the couple.
Beckett bent down to see the girl. She was on her back with a brutal smash to the head.
"She work here?" Castle asked
"Yeah she had a part-time job here on weekdays. Manager said that she was quiet and she helped out a lot around the store." Ryan answered him
"Do we know what killed her?" Beckett asked Lanie
"Blunt force trauma to the head. Based on liver temp. I'd say she died late last night or very early in the morning"
Beckett kept a blank face when Espo came back to her with more information. Something about this girl was off. She had nice clothes but messy hair. She was covering up a black eye with makeup and her parents didn't answer their phones.
After a bit more digging into Alice's life they found out that she lived with a roommate in the city named Kaylee and was studying at New York University Arts & Science in an arts program. It wasn't hard to see the roommate wasn't happy with her friend. She said that Alice was always sweet and friendly but whenever Kaylee's boyfriend showed up Alice would go on a rampage.
The boys went out to find him while Castle and Beckett went out to get lunch.
They walked to the chinese restaurant about 5 blocks from the precinct while arguing about whether Lanie and Espo are back or not. They even made a bet out of it, Castle said that they wouldn't get back together again and Beckett said the opposite.
When they got to the place they stepped in and Kate instantly felt nauseous.
"Hey babe can you order? I'm going to the bathroom for a sec.."
"Yeah sure.. You want your regular?" He asked as she left
"Yep" she said quickly as she sped to the bathroom
The rest was fast, She stepped in to the ladies room, sprinted towards a stall and heaved her guts out into the toilet.
She had a long road ahead and she wasn't even aware of what just happened.
