Leads
When Ryan and Espo came back from canvassing; they came back to an empty bull pen. They automatically assumed that Beckett and Castle were out running down leads. But there was nothing on the murder board.
"Captain Gates?"
"Captain Gates."
"What are you two doing down here?"
"Well after I got a call from Detective Esposito I became very concerned, so I checked in with…"
"I can't reach Katie. What's the situation?"
"There's no cause for alarm. It's just that we're having trouble pinpointing their perspective…"
"Oh please, stop. You are a terrible actress. There is no way that anyone would have called me if they weren't really worried and I want to know what is really going on here."
"Okay. They went to interview a witness and we lost contact. But we're doing our best to find them. So I suggest you both go home and I'll call you the second I know more."
"I am not leaving until I know what has happened to our children."
"Neither am I."
"All right… where is that fancy coffee machine that Richard bought for the precinct? Over there?"
"The break room."
"Okay. You want…?"
"I don't want to have to tell those two that I lost their kids…"
Ryan and Espo both thought of that night. They hoped that they weren't in the middle of a repeat performance this time around.
Thankfully when Beckett and Castle walked out of the elevator they realized that all was good.
Castle and Beckett filled Ryan and Espo in on what they had.
After that the quartet worked on the case some more before it was time to call it a night. They knew that Martha would put Johanna Martha and the twins down for the night so that was one less thing that Castle and Beckett had to worry about when they got home. Beckett was exhausted unlike Castle. It was clear that Castle wanted to play some but Beckett was interested in one thing and one thing only. That one thing was sleep.
