So this chapter is really short, i mean really really short but i had to put it up anyways. Enjoy!


Castle got into the elevator, but instead of going home he decided to pay Lanie a visit in the morgue. He was sure that she had already left, but decided to take the chance and check anyway.

"If you're trying to sneak up on, it ain't going to work," as soon as he heard her voice and saw her appear from behind a shelf he was glad he did.

"Hey Lanie, you're here late." He watched as she cleaned different instruments.

"So are you," she raised her eyebrows at him questioningly without stopping what she was doing.

"Yeah, I was helping Beckett with paper work and I just thought I'd drop by and say hello."

"If that's the story you're sticking with..."

"What?"

"You're here looking for Kate, aren't you?"

"What? No. I was just with her like I said." Castle took a moment to think about what she had just said. "Why would I look for her down here?"

"You tell me." One side of her mouth was titled upwards into a half-smile like she knew something she wasn't supposed to.

"Huh? I think you've been hanging out with corpses for too long."

"Mhmmm," again she paused to give him a look like she knew some kind of secret that he was supposedly keeping from her. "So what are you really here for?"

"Why is it so hard to believe that I've come to visit my favourite medical examiner?"

"At ten o'clock. Please." She didn't even look up at him while she spoke.

Castle looked at her innocently wondering exactly how he was going to get out of her what he wanted.

After a moment of silence he gave in, "I wanted to ask you something about Beckett."


Sorry about the cliffhanger ending... I have some of the next chapter already written up, it just needs tweaking so hopefully i'll upload it soon.

Anyways let me know what you think & comment!
