Chapter .1.
5 years later…
Richard Castle was no more. Now it was Alexander Rodgers. 5 years ago when he left New York he had been a mess. But then he found himself going to be a father again by two women. Pushed him into going back to therapy. His family was really supportive. All his children understood there father had a tragic past.
In 2012 he had two children born only days apart Grace Mira Rodgers and Robert George Rodgers. Like all his children they bought a smile to his face and the will to go on.
Every day he came home to his two youngest children. He had moved to San Francisco after they were born. A fresh start. He got re-qualified as a Police Officer. With his weapons training and history off over work the San Francisco PD took him he made his way to Detective in his first year. He was smart and quick on his feet that got him high up in the ranks of the police department.
He was the fastest raise in ranks in the police force something he could be proud off. At 45 he was in his prime when he was surprising promoted to Captain.
His life had changed he didn't think about the 12th or anyone from it anymore. With a high priced therapist he was seeing weekly he had made a turn around. But his heart still belonged to two women. His therapist Dr Cole asked him if he regretted walking out of the life of Kate Beckett. Alex didn't really know. Dr Cole asked if he ever used his Police power to track her down and see how she was doing. He said no he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Nobody from his old life had found him. His mother was still in New York at the Loft. She knew where he was. But she never told anyone.
Captain Alexander Rodgers gets home and grabs the mail and goes inside.
"I am home!" Alex calls
"Daddy!" Grace says
"Daddy!" Robert says
Alex picks them both up and hugs them.
"Had a good day?" Alex asks
"Yes. Missed you", Grace says snuggling into her fathers arms
"I missed you to both of you my saving graces", Alexander says
"Captain Rodgers I will be going now", the babysitter says
"Thank you", Alex says paying her and seeing her out
The phone rings as he was opening his mail.
"Richard", his mother says
"Mother how can I help you?" Alex asks opening a letter and reading it at the same time
"I want to gather everyone at the Loft for a party. I want to see all my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. I have called everyone and they said they are free in a week. So they are all coming. Will you come?" Martha asks
"Mother I…", Alex stops looking at the letter
"Richard?" Martha asks
"Yes I am still here. We will come. I just have to organise some leave time. But I should be in New York with Grace and Robert in a week", Alex says
"I will see you then Richard", Martha says hanging up
Alex dials his precinct number.
"Michaels I need you to run an address for me", Alex says reading of the envelope of the letter
"It is fake Sir. What is going on Sir?" Detective Michaels asks
"I just received a death threat"
New York
7 days later…
Kate couldn't understand why she never found Castle. The 5 years that had past she had looked for him. He hadn't been seen.
Kate felt lonely and without Castle by her side she felt incomplete. Esposito and Ryan had treated her coldly in the beginning but after seeing how hard she was working to fix her mistake made them be nicer to her. They had tried to help her find him. But he had disappeared. And Martha wasn't talking to them.
Kate, Ryan and Esposito where canvassing houses when they see two small children running looking frightened.
"Are you two alright?" Kate asks
The little boy puts the girl behind him.
"You won't take us!" the little boy declares
"I am with the NYPD I am a Detective see. My name is Kate", Kate says showing her badge, "Where is your mother or father?"
"We don't have a mummy. Only a Daddy. Bad men just took him", the little girl says crying
"Where did they take your Daddy?" Kate asks gently
"From the park. Daddy took us there before we saw Grams", the little boy says
"What are your names?" Kate asks
"I am Robert and this is my sister Grace", Robert says, "Daddy told us to call Grams if we got separated"
"Do you know her number?" Kate asks
"Daddy made us remember it", Robert says
"Do you want to call her?" Kate asks handing over her phone
Robert takes it and dials the number.
"Espo, Ryan go to the park and see if you can find anything. Looks like we have another case", Kate says
"Detective my grams what's to talk to you", Robert says handing the phone to Kate
"This is Detective Kate Beckett", Kate says
"Katherine it is me Martha. I believe you have my grandchildren"
