Disclaimer : I do not own Castle.

It's now 2pm and I'm on my lunch break. I'm sat at the desk and I'm drawing, a little random but neccassry. Its nessacary because it's his eye. The eye of one of the man that is going to take me. If I'm going to be taken I might as well make sure I leave a few clues behind.

Beckett and my dad walk in. I look at them for a few seconds just taking everything in, all the little details I can. The way my dad's eyes shine when he is with Beckett. She hopes his eyes can still shine after she has been taken.

He smiles when he sees me looking and I smile back. He walks over and give me a light hug and for once I don't protest about being at work. Apparently that set off alarms in his head because he is pulling back and looking at me concerned.

"You alright pumpkin ?" He asks in that tone only a farther could.

The question draws the attention on Kate and Lanie and i simply nod and turn back to my drawing.

I make sure he knows what I'm doing. It's vital he knows I'm drawing. I've never drawn before.

"You drawing pumpkin ?" He asks whilst looking at the eye. "It's good."

I smile and nod. By now Kate and Lanie are looking over my shoulder and I feel a little self concious of it and move a few pages over it but apparently my overly proud farther wants to show it off and moves the paper away.

"That's good girl." Lanie says obviously trying to boost my confidence.

I sit there and wonder why I should bother about taking in compliments. Its not like I'm going to be here long anyway.

I nod again. This isn't meant to be a piece of art its meant to reveal the man who's going to eventually take me.

I look at it again and continue the shading. I'm almost done.

I'm finished within seconds and I rip it off the paper.

I stand up to move but I can't get past the semi circle of people. I take a deep breath and putting the drawing in my pocket I sat back down.

I know they're all exchanging worried looks.

It hurts to know that I'm making them worried, but they have no idea. I know I should have told them. Told them I was in danger. But I can't that puts people safety in danger.

I turn around suddenly with a happy smile on my face and turn to Detective Beckett. I don't know why I chose her but I did.

"Detective Beckett do you want to get a hot chocolate with me ?" I ask kind of timidly but I can't help it.

She looks surprised to say the least but she nods so I stand and we leave.

We're in the elevator when she turns to me and asks "Alexis are you in trouble."

I turn to her and smile and say "Nothing that I can't handle don't worry."

I surprise myself, 2 lies in one very short sentences.

I don't lie, but in one day I've told 3 lies.

That's not like me.
