Here is another update. I was going to add it on Saturday but I spaced and then yesterday I was gone all day so i didnt get a chance so im posting it later then I would have liked but oh well.
Here is what I want to try to do. I want to try to update every weekend at least once so that you guys arnt waiting forever and a decade to read a new chapter. I have been super busy lately but I am trying to make more time for writing and I hope it works out.
Castle blinked slowly as his eyes adjusted to the dark of the room. His blindfold had been removed as had his duct tape. He looked around seeing only a couple feet before darkness swallowed up his surroundings. He moved his eyes to right in front of him. He was sitting at a desk and sitting on that desk was a laptop flashing the words YOU SHOULD BE WRITING. It was his laptop. This nut job had been in his apartment. The place he counted on to keep his daughter safe. On either side of his laptop were strong looking metal loops built into the desk. He tried to figure out what they were for but after a few brief moments he looked away.
"What is going on?" Castle asked letting his eyes stray upward. He could see the silhouette of agent McGee across from him at a desk that was pushed up against his. "Are you okay?" He heard McGee mumble something through the duct tape on his mouth and he hoped it was that he wasn't hurt.
Then Castle looked around again, trying to spot their captor who seems to have disappeared. Castle knew it was useless to yell or even try to get out. He had been working with Beckett long enough to know that he needed to think before he acted in this sort of situation. So he sat waiting. He didn't know what he was waiting for or if it would come but it was all he could do. He slowly moved his hands and feet so that he could get a feel for the rope trying him to this chair. Hopefully, if he worked it enough, he would be able to get free. He had practiced it many times with different bindings but his daughter didn't tie it as tight as it felt now.
"This is how this is going to go." The man said stepping out of the shadows on Castles right. "We are going to play a little game."

Tony watched as Ducky made the medical examiner laugh with his silly stories. They had just arrived at the scene and Dr. Parish and Ducky gave them a few facts about what had happened and now they were left to their normal routine. But it didn't feel normal. Something was off. Maybe it was because McGee was off slacking with the writer while Tony had to work. This was probably a lot of fun for Probie though, to be able to work a case with such a great writer.
"I wonder where McGee and Castle are with the coffee." Ziva asked coming up to stand beside Tony. Then Esposito and Ryan joined them.
"Knowing Castle they are off spinning wild theories at his bar." Tony let out a laugh. He stopped listening after a bit letting his eyes make their way to Gibbs and Beckett who were talking off to the side. She had been on the phone before and now she looked like she was trying to stay calm but something was hiding under her masked emotions. He wondered if it was case related. He looked away when they turned to him and made their way over.
"A little bit after we got this call about this Marine another call came in." Kate said getting everyone's attention. Tony could tell by the sound of her voice that something was wrong. "Agent McGee and Castle were taken at gunpoint. None of the witnesses have a good description of the suspect other than that he was in a dark hoodie. Also nobody saw what he was driving." She took a deep breath and Tony felt a knot tighten in his stomach. "We have reason to believe that this is related to our case because it seems that he went into the coffee shop looking specifically for Castle and McGee and someone said he called McGee, Thom." Tony turned to face Gibbs who showed no emotions and seemed pretty well held together.
"Boss?" Tony raised an eyebrow wondering what to do next. "What do you need me to do?" Ziva was right next to him waiting for orders while Ryan and Esposito waited for theirs. Dr. Parish and Ducky had come up part way into the conversation and they were now standing to the side waiting as well.

When Abby got the call she wanted to cry, scream or punch something. She was fairly certain she would have done all three if Gibbs hadn't told her she needed to keep it together. She would try to do just that because it could help save him… them both. Not too long before she had gotten the call she had talked to Gibbs thinking that they were closer to catching this bastard. She had thought that finding a partial print, even though there wasn't a match for it, would be a good thing. But now she was pissed off and she was going to do anything and everything to find McGee… and Richard Castle of course.
I Know it isnt super long but hopefully I will have more time to write more in the next couple days.
