Days went by and Kate was still in Paris with Hunt. Castle was still missing and there was no sign of Alexis either. Being outside her jurisdiction was hard, because she couldn't do anything to help. To find Castle. The French police was working on two cases, of a missing father and daughter. There were no leads. These people look like professionals. People who know what they're doing. But they have to mess up some time. Hunt was busy looking for his son. As a spy he doesn't have a jurisdiction so he could do whatever he wanted. But Kate, just sat there, doing nothing. Feeling confused why her body was so dumb. Normally the adrenaline would pump through her body, but this time…
She knew what could happen, and she might have to herself not to go down this road, but she had been telling herself that for the last few days. She'd gone down that road. Deep down she knew Castle was okay, but her head was telling her otherwise.
Kate knew she couldn't loose Castle. Her life would be over if she did. After four years they're finally together and she wasn't ready to let go after a year. She wasn't ready and planning on leaving, ever.
Kate stopped thinking when there was an envelope slide under her hotel room. She walked over to the door to see through the peephole if anyone was there, but no sign of anyone or anything. She closed the door and picked up the envelope. There was nothing written on it, no name, nothing. Not even hers. She opened the envelope slowly afraid of what she'd find. It was a picture of Castle holding the today's newspaper. It was reassuring because now she knows he's alive. 'Oh, Castle,' she whispered to herself, holding the photo close to her heart.
A few minutes later Hunt walked in and found Kate standing there like a statue. "Kate?" he asked with a worried look on his face. "Kate?!" he touched her shoulder to get her out of her trance. "What's that?" Hunt asked. Quietly she gave him the picture. "Who delivered this?" Hunt looked surprised. "I don't know, someone slid it under the door. I opened the door to see if anyone was there, but nothing." She paused. "Luckily we know he's alive." There is hope, and Kate knew that. "Can we find out where he's held?" Hunt knew she was redirecting to the picture. She had done this before. Asking people if they knew where people were held after receiving a clue. If they look close they might find something helpful to get Castle out of there. She knew Alexis was in danger too, but there was no sign of her. Not a photo, nothing. As hard as her decision was, she decided to focus on Castle first, to get him out. Castle must know more, and with that information, they might be able to find Alexis.
"I might know someone who could help." He grabbed his phone and dialed a dumber of someone who's able to help. He helped Hunt in previous cases, with success.
"Jasper, it's Hunt, I need you to do something, can we meet in an hour? I'm bringing someone."
"Sure." Jasper hang up. He was not the kind of person who spoke much. He got up in most of his work. "We have a meeting in an hour, this is the address. We have to go separate. Give me a 5 minute head start." Without asking Kate nodded and watched Hunt leave to hotel room.
When she arrived at the address Hunt gave her, she looked up to the building. It was old, it smelled weird and it looked like it could fall apart any minute. She followed the direction Hunt also gave her. She knocked on the door and Jasper opened quietly. "Just come in, he doesn't care who you are, he just wants to help. I already shown him the picture. He's sure he's able to find the location where they hold Rick."
"It can take a while, but it can also be done in 5 minutes." Jasper said, not looking at Kate or Hunt. He was busy screening buildings in Paris from what the picture was showing. After an half hour wait, Jasper spoke again. "I found the building." Hunt stood up and looked at the address on the screen. "Where is it?" Kate asked. She didn't know where the address was so she assumed Hunt did. "I don't know, but Jasper does." Without saying a word, Jasper printed out a map from where they were now to the location Castle is held. "Thank you Jasper." He nodded and Kate and Hunt left the building.
After a twenty minute drive they stopped in front of an old factory. It was huge. Jasper wasn't able to give the exact location, so they had to pull with the stings they have. "Are you sure you can help Rick?" Hunt nodded. "This is a bomb, it goes off on distance. I will be wearing the remote, so when you give the sign, when Rick and you are safe, I can push this green button here." Kate didn't had to ask what would happen next. She had seen a few bombs in her career and this one wasn't any different.
