At the precinct there was process, just not the good kind. Since reading Alexis' letters and putting her drawings in the system they found who Alexis' was drawing. The problem was they were dead, killed by whoever was higher up in the chain then them. Everyone was getting frustrated and everyone feared for Alexis', Rick was barely holding it together either crying his eyes out or yelling at people but no one held it against him, he was a scared parent.
Kate was going through Alexis' envelope again which was surprisingly full and she came across a letter, a letter addressed to Nikki H. Kate sat there thing of all the possibilities, did Alexis know a Nikki ? Or was it addressed to her. Kate decided to open and was proved right, it was addressed to her.
Dear Kate,
If your reading this it means your going over the evidence which must mean my drawings weren't of any help, I knew it would be unlikely but I had to hope. Kate there is more evidence there is more stuff, I just couldn't risk putting it in this envelope in case something happened to it.
I'm the daughter of a mystery novelist, therefore I am semi-trained to think and act like one, I hope I'm making you guys proud with my skills and I'm hoping I'm helping. If' I'm alive when you guys find me I'm going to make you so many thank you cookies you'll be sick of them. I have to stay on topic I don't have much time, I'm writing this whilst Lanie is on her lunch and lets be honest she is unpredictable when it comes to her lunches, she can be either an hour or ten minutes. I'm babbling, can you babble on paper ? If not I must be the first.
At this Kate laughed and Rick looked at her frowning when he saw she was reading something, he went over to her and leaned over her should a little to see what she was reading when he saw the other letter he couldn't help reading along with her.
Dad is most probably reading over your shoulder, he done that whilst I was texting once and lets just say we were both a bit embarrassed but he never learns his lesson.
As I've said before I was threatened and I was scared and I will admit I should have told someone but I was scared for everyone's safety, people always say how mature I am but they forget I'm still only 16 and I can only be so mature. The piece of paper they wrote the threat on is in my room in a sandwich bag in my drawer, so are the clothes I was wearing, they grabbed my arm to stop me.
Kate I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. I used the one thing I knew how to use and that was to use my knowledge. 'Knowledge is power.' Don't tell Dad this but when I'm 18 I'm getting that as a tattoo.
When Kate read this she heard Castle mutter a low "no she's not." And she rolled her eyes at him.
I think there is more stuff but it will all be in my room, dad won't want anyone in my room in case you guys never find me but its my room and I say you can go in just please be careful of Monkey Bunkey if dad hasn't been cuddling him already.
And to dad because I know your reading this I am sorry for whatever you find in my room and stop reading over people's shoulders it rude.
To both of you wake up and date each other already everyone can see it. So, if you won't listen to anybody face to face maybe this letter will help. If I come back and you guys aren't together yet I will not be one very happy person.
Now I love you both,
Always,
Alexis xx
When Castle and Beckett finished reading Alexis' latter they both had small smiles on their faces, tears in their eyes, and blushes on their cheeks.
"That was a lot of emotions all at once." Kate said.
"I would say I have to agree." Castle said still staring at the letter.
after a short pause Castle said quietly "I can't believe my daughter is playing match maker."
Back at the dark room Tim and Alexis was trying to figure out what was going on, they had talked through everything they remember, which was not a lot. Who they thought the names might mean. They talked everything out and deciding on one mutual thing. They were in danger.
"Okay Alexis I think we just need to act like we don't know anything, I think it would be the safer option." When Alexis started to protest, Tim held up a hand indicating that he wasn't done. "So then when we do have a chance we have the element of surprise. No matter what we keep these names we go over them when they start to fade. Do you understand ?" Tim said seriously.
Alexis silently nodded looking around the room, still thinking of anything to do with the names.
"Tim what if we never get out ? What if were here forever ?" Alexis said.
Tim just let out a small sympathetic sigh and just motioned for her to come closer to him. He took her hands and looked into her blue glistening eyes full of tears "Alexis I will make sure you get out of here." Tim said pulling her into a hug.
