Hello! Here's the next chapter. Just wondering from you guys, how big a role do you want the case the team is working on to have on the story? Do you want it full blown like it would be on a real episode of Castle, or more on the side with more focus on Castle and Beckett relationship stuff, etc.? Let me know! Anyways. Enjoy the chapter.

Beckett and Castle entered the morgue to find Lanie hunched over the victim's body.

"Hey Lanie. What do you have?" Beckett asked, walking over to stand beside Lanie and peering down at her work.

"Well." Lanie stood up. "Someone injected cyanide into her."

"So that's the cause of death?"

"Yes." Silence filled the room.

"Anything else about the case?" Beckett asked. Lanie began organizing her tools.

"Nope." Beckett glanced at Castle.

"Then why…" Beckett began. Lanie took this as an opportunity to pounce.

"Girl, who is this guy you're dating? I have a right to know!" Beckett was silent. She looked down and shuffled her feet.

"Just a guy." She said. Lanie rolled her eyes.

"Oh no. You are way to happy for it to just be some guy. WHO IS IT?" Lanie glared at Beckett. Beckett began stammering, trying to come up with an excuse, until she was saved by the ringing of her phone. She answered.

"Beckett. Yes? Ok. Sure. Ok. Yeah. I'm on my way." She turned her phone off. "Ryan and Esposito picked up a witness. I have to go." She in no way tried to hide her relief. Quickly, she left the room before Lanie could say anything. "Come on Castle!" Castle nodded.

"Thanks Lanie." He started to leave when Lanie reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Castle. We have got to figure out who his guy is. I'm calling a meeting. Today at 7:00 you, me, Espo and Ryan are meeting at my place to hatch a plan, got it?" Castle blinked.

"Um. Yeah. Sure." Castle took a step backwards towards the door. "Well –"

"CASTLE! COME ON!" Beckett yelled. Castle jumped and quickly ran out the door to catch up with her. Lanie turned around, back to the dead body on the table. She sighed.

"We are going to figure out who his mysterious guy is." She said, talking both to herself and at the same time the body lying down in front of her. She pulled out a fresh pair of surgical gloves. "We will. Even if I have to torture Beckett until she tells me." Calmly, she pulled on a pair of safety glasses, and proceeded to pick up a fresh tool and cut open the body of her latest cadaver.
