Hey everyone I am now in my last week and a half of school before I graduate with my first college degree. I am so excited and I have tons of studying to do but I thought I'd give you guys this chapter. It is very short but I promise to start writing again once I am done with finales and graduation. Thank you all for your support and for reading you guys are truly amazing. I appreciate you all for understanding.

"Hey girl, I thought you forgot about me." Lanie says smiling as Castle and I walk into the morgue.
"No, I could never forget you." I smile back. "So what happened to our guy?" I ask her.
"He was shot over there" she pointed a few feet away. "Then it he either was dragged by someone or he crawled until he bleed out." Lanie said as she examined the body.
"TOD?" Castle and I asked at the same time.
She smiles and answers, "between 11 last night and 1 this morning."
"Great that gives us our window. We know his name yet?" I ask
"Not yet boss he didn't have any ID on him. We're going to run his prints when we get back to the precinct." Ryan says as he ups to us. "Esposito and I just finished talking to witnesses."
"Yeah, lady who found the body…" he pauses to find the page in his notes. "Mrs. Brandson says she was walking her ankle bitter of a dog when it got loose and ran to the body. She says she called 911 the second she calmed down enough."
"Yeah, I'm going to see if any of the streets have cameras. Maybe we can get lucky and get the guys face on camera." Ryan says.
"Good, so CSU already swept the area and I'm just about to take the body. Is there is anything else you need from me?" Lanie asks as she stands.
"No, thanks Lanie, call me when you find anything." I tell her and wave to her.
"When do I not?" she turns and says before she closes the back of the ME's van.

"Hey Beckett!" Ryan says walking over to her desk. She looks up at him and he hands her a file. "We found a match to another case a shooting last week, but there is no name attached to it." Esposito says.
"Okay." She looks over to the murder board. "Ryan fined anything?"
"He found our guy, but he's got a sweater and the hood is covering his face, but he's checking other cameras now." Esposito says.
"Okay you know what its late lets call it a night and start again tomorrow when we can all keep our eyes open." Kate tells him. "Go and tell Ryan and we'll see you tomorrow"
