Hey guys! Here's chapter 2….

The pit of fear that dwells within.

Castle stared intently at his phone; willing it to ring. He hadn't realized how long he had been just staring at his phone until Ryan came up to him and placed a cup of coffee on the desk in front of him. "Hey Castle, I'm sure she is fine." Castle looked up from his phone at Ryan. He would so like to believe that but disappearing was just not Beckett's thing.. "Yeah, thanks Ryan." He sat back in his chair; the one right next to Beckett's desk, the one that he stares at her from when he thinks she's not looking.

Castle smiled at the thought. He always tried to hide the fact that he was staring but deep down he knew that Beckett could feel his eyes burrowing into her. The small smiles that would appear on her face, the way she would fiddle with her hair just the way he liked or the times when she would just stop what she was doing and stare right back at him… He grabbed the cup of coffee off the desk and held it in his hands; there was something about the way the ceramic warmed his hands, just like John Raglin had said. Castle took a sip of the coffee and breathed a sigh of pleasure. He put the cup down and picked up his phone once again and was about to dial Beckett for what had to of been the hundredth time that morning but was stopped by a voice shouting for his attention. "Castle, a body just dropped. You in?" Esposito knew that he would be distracted but just maybe a case would keep his mind off of things just until they found out exactly what was going on.

Castle nodded and got up, placing his phone in his pocket. He walked over to Esposito and pulled on his jacket "Ok what have we got?" Esposito smiled and slapped Castle on the back, "Ryan will explain on the way."

Castle sat in the back of the car while Ryan rode shot gun and explained what the case was about. "According to central, they got an anonymous call about an hour ago, saying that there was a body in the trunk of a car in the warehouse district. BOLO says it's a dark blue….." Ryan trailed off as he read the rest of the preliminary report… Castle frowned and wondered what was going on. Esposito looked at Ryan from across the car. Ryan looked up and Esposito could tell that there was something in the report that Ryan didn't want Castle to hear. Castle lent forward so that he was closer to Ryan and Esposito, "Guys what's going on?" Before either of them could answer Esposito slowed the car to a stop and pointed towards the crime scene. "This is it guys." All three men exited the vehicle and walked towards the police taped that cordoned off the suspected crime scene. As they got closer the frown on Castle's face grew deeper… "Guys?... Isnt that?" They stopped in front of the tape and looked at the vehicle sitting less than 20 meters from them. Both Ryan and Esposito fell silent and looked absent- mindedly at their shoes. "That's… that's Beckett's car?" The pit of fear in Castle's stomach grew deeper and deeper… He threw the tape over his head and ran to the vehicle. Ryan and Esposito were right behind him.. "Come on Castle you know you cant touch it." Castle bunched his hands into fists and sighed.. "Please Esposito.. This is Beckett's car… I have heard from her… Please.!" Esposito sighed and moved over to the boot of the car….

Beckett could hear voices and footsteps outside… She still hadn't managed to free her hands or her ankles from what was binding them together… She lay still for a few moments trying to listen to what they people outside were saying.. the only two words that stood out were "Kill her..!"
