Author's note: When this idea started, I wrote it right away but I'm only posting it now. Captain Montgomery is still here. This is my first time writing something like this. I hope you guys get patient. I will try to do my best and get my details right.

Chapter 2

The Haunt

'So just between us honey, aren't you going to miss writer boy?' Lanie started as she sips her daiquiri.

'Lanie, can you give it a rest? I'm really not in the mood.' Kate gulped her vodka. Thank God they caught the killer. It was really stupid of him to watch them how they're going to catch them when he unknowingly left trace evidence that undeniably charged him.

'Why is this has something to do with Josh or Castle? What I don't understand about you is why you are trying hard to keep Josh in your life when he keeps messing up especially when Castle is been good to you, and always there for you. It isn't fair. You can't have them both. Why don't you try just for once, admit you're feelings for Castle and give yourselves a chance to be happy.'

'Lanie, I love you but please shot up. Go dance with Esposito or something.' Beckett said irritatingly. She's about to say more when she felt her phone vibrating. She stood up from their booth and went out to answer her phone.

She glances at the screen thinking who could be calling her at this hour. When she saw Castle's loft number appeared, she lightened up but remembered that Castle is in the plane right now so this could be either Alexis or Martha.

'Kate Beckett.'

'Kate, this is Richard's mother. I'm sorry to call this late but something happened. I'm wondering if you know someone who could help.'

'It's okay. What happened?'

'Dear, there's no easy to say this but the plane my son was riding crashed and he's missing. I don't know the specifics about what happen to the plane but they said something happened while it's still flying.'

When Kate heard crashed and missing, she felt her surroundings moving around her and making her dizzy. She started to hyperventilate, 'Martha, hold on a second' as Kate tries to control herself and her breathing. This can't be happening. He was fine. He was just there saying he'll be back before I know it.

'Kate, are you okay? Are you still there?'

'I'm sorry Martha. Yes, I'm still here. I'm going to get some help and I'll call you as soon as I have good news.'

'Thank you, Kate. I don't know what I'd do if we don't have you.'

'Don't thank me. He's my friend and my partner. He's part of the 12th precinct. How's Alexis doing?'

'She's sleeping now tired from all the crying when she found out about Richard, she kept crying blaming herself that she let her Father go alone. I tried talking some sense to her but she won't listen. I know this is too much to ask but would you mind seeing her? I know she will only listen to you.'

'Of course, I don't mind. I'll go there tomorrow.'

'Thank you Detective. I know Richard ask you to take care of Alexis just in case something bad happens to him. I'm very grateful for that but I don't want to accept that this is Richard's time to go.'

Beckett realized from Martha's voice that she's been crying as well and she can't help but get worried and feel the pain from the fact that she might never got the chance to see him again, or even tell him how he really means to her. 'You don't let go. You don't back down and that's what makes you extraordinary'. His words reverberated in her mind. No, I won't just give up. I'm going to find you. I know that if something bad happens to you, I'll feel it. Castle, Rick, I know you're still out there just please wait for me.

'Martha, how are you doing?'

'Oh dear, I know I'm not the best mother, a person could have but I love my son. He and Alexis are the constant and important people in my life. I want to believe that he's still out there and I'm sure he is because I know he'll do anything to get back to Alexis and to us.'

'Martha, I believe it too. Don't give up. I know we're going to find him and he'll be just fine. Go get some rest and I will call as soon as possible.'

'I can't promise you anything but I'll try. And Kate, don't stress yourself too much, Richard wouldn't want that either.'

Beckett smiled a little remembering how Castle can be annoying when he's convincing her to take some rest and eat healthy food. 'I can't promise it too but I'll try.'

'Thank you again, Kate.'

Beckett snap closed her phone and went to Lanie and the guys to tell them what happen to Castle.
