Ms. Hart's phone was up in exactly five minutes. Castle was impressed. Beckett not so much. She took the phone out of the bag and looked at it. "What is is you wanted?" He held his hand out and she gave it to him. He pressed a few buttons and smirked. He showed her the phone and she grabbed it from him. "Why didn't I see that?" He shrugged.

"So two of these are from her dad and one from an unknown number. Maybe I can get one of the uniforms to run it." She flagged one down and explained what she needed and they nodded and left. Ryan and Esposito came back and they had boxes of stuff from their house. Beckett quickly called Lanie to get info on the murder weapon.

".45 hydroshock. And from what I can tell killer wasn't the best shot."

"Why?"

"At point blank should have hit his target; he shot through the hardest part of the skull instead. That means, she moved or he has shaky hands."

"Like hesitation."

"Bingo, get the girl a prize." There was clapping in the background and a giggle. Lanie covered the phone with her hand and shushed Angelica so she wouldn't create a distraction. Lanie laughed slightly.

"Lanie I am still on the phone."

"Indeed you are." She sighed. "Is that all?"

"That's up to you."

"Then yes that is all." She disconnected. Beckett looked at the phone and shrugged.

"What was it?"

".45 Hydroshock."

"In like a bb out like a potato." He smirked.

"When'd you get so smart?" She said with a cheesy grin. He gave one right back. Ryan dropped a box in between them and motioned to it.

"We might be here a while." He walked back to his seat and both of them were searching through their own boxes. Castle looked and saw all of the boxes. He was right. Castle started looking through and saw nothing until,

"Hey." He held up something. They all looked up. "Good taste in reading." He held up Heat Wave.

"We're looking for a gun, or anything that might help us." Beckett said though she was quite surprised that such a wealthy man had, well fiction books. He put it down and riffled through the rest of the box. Castle picked up the one they were both looking through and set it down in a separate area from the rest of the unsearched boxes. He picked up a new unsearched box and headed over. She began searching through it as he set it down. He opened the other side of wings and searched through. Esposito finished and dropped off the box in the searched section and headed over to get a new one.

"Hey I think I got something." Ryan piped up sticking his head out of the box. "Looks like copies of registration papers for a gun." Beckett popped her head up.

"Hydroshock?" He scanned the paper.

"No sorry." They all went back to working. A few small connections here and there, but nothing that would tie the case to a close. They got to the last few boxes that were on the floor and Beckett always made Castle get them. She and Lanie would both say it was a good call on her part. It was late by the time they had all finished. Nothing out of the hundreds of boxes, ok no hundreds but a lot, they had found nothing that would tie them to the crime. Castle sighed and slouched in his chair.

"That is probably the most lifting I have done in months."

"Come on Castle I always imagined you were one of those guys who had a six pack that mysteriously had always been there and was hidden under all those clothes."

"Sadly no. I wish I was one of those guys, but I'm not. What about you, the always fit detective Beckett." He sat up and poked her midsection.

"Hey." She jumped more than she should have.

"Ticklish are we?"

"No." She said a little too quickly. She wrapped her arms around her waist.

"Uh hu." He said unconvinced. Lanie walked up at that moment. He looked back and frowned. "Don't think you were saved by the bell." Lanie looked over at both of them and had Angelica in her arms. Angelica was giggling and clapping her hands. "What have you been feeding her?" He looked back.

"Little bit of this and that, got a problem?"

"No no she looks great." He took her from her arms and smirked. Angelica looked up and looked as though she was captivated by him.

"Looks like you have all been pretty busy."

"Yea just a little bit." Beckett looked at her watch. "I'm surprised that you're still here." Lanie gave her a look. "Just saying."

"Uh hu, I was just coming up to see if you were still here. I can't take her home with me. I have relatives over and wouldn't it be great to surprise them with a mysterious child." Beckett nodded.

"It's okay it's Castle's turn anyways." She looked over at him quickly then looked back. Lanie half closed her eyes and waved goodbye as she walked away. Ryan and Esposito looked at Beckett. "If there isn't anything else." They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Nope." They both said in almost sequence. She waved her hand off and they headed out. Castle had grabbed his bag and threw it on his shoulder.

"Hey wanna get a drink?" She asked motioning somewhere behind her.

"Is the Old Haunt really a place to take a four month year old?"

"Your place then." She said with a grin. He smirked back.

"Sure." Castle repositioned Angelica in his arms and then looked up at her. She was looking at Angelica and he jerked his head towards the elevator which she was gladly obliging to. She pressed the down button and the doors opened right away. Angelica was looking at the light with such a fascination her eyes lit up and reached out to try and grab it. Beckett smiled down at her and poked her nose. Angelica made a gasping motion, but no noise came out.

"You know I never imagined myself being one to do well with kids, well ones that couldn't talk."

"I would have thought you were a natural." He said in a soft tone that warmed her in a little more than just her heart.
