A/N: Next in the Dedication Reaction series:
Heat Rises
.
.
She's at her dad's cabin when she reads the book. Still recovering. Or is it hiding?
On her bed, because it hurts too much to move, listening to the chorus of crickets chirping, she reads.
Cautiously, she opens to the dedication, not knowing what to expect.
"To Captain Roy Montgomery, NYPD. He made a stand and taught me all I need to know about bravery and character."
He dedicated this book to her captain. His captain. Castle was affected by his death too. Sometimes she forgets they were friends, that he has built relationships with her people.
She feels miserable.

A/N: I would just like to thank Kirstie for her mini beta-ing of these mini stories. Thank you K and T for being my guinea pigs :)
