They got nothing. Captain Gates hasn't felt so frustrated in her career since her partner died almost ten years ago. She has to admit she didn't like Castle at the beginning, but once she started seeing how he cared about everyone in the precinct made her believe he was actually a good person and not the arrogant self-centered jackass she thought at first. Yes, she still didn't like him very much though, but she wasn't mad anymore to have him on the team. In fact, right now she finally understood how big of an influence Castle is to the homicide floor. She saw how almost every officer and detective on the floor approached to Beckett's team to ask about Castle's case and whether they needed any help at all. A knock pulled her out of her thoughts. It was Ryan.

"Sir, we have a match on the plate."Ryan said with a file in his hands."The van belongs to an Easter Car Rentals. Esposito is tracking the GPS right now."

"Good."she said. While walking outside her office and towards Esposito's desk joining him and Beckett."Where are we on that?"

"I'm accessing the van's GPS now." Esposito said."The signal comes from a warehouse in the upper west side." He said, standing up.

"Alright, Beckett get teams over there to make this as fast as possible." Gates said."Let's get your writer back."

"Yes, sir." she answered.

Kate Beckett has felt scared and lost only twice in her life. When her mother died and today. She couldn't stopped thinking the possibility that Castle might be dead by the time they find him. She was trying so hard to convince herself that everything was gonna be alright, but there was something. She didn't know what it was, but there was something that felt off...She hoped and prayed with all she'd got that the feeling she was having was only the nerves of seeing him again.

They were close. Ryan and Esposito were quiet. Beckett was driving her cruiser behind them. They were almost there. It felt like one of those moments where the blood rushing through your ears make things more clear than the water. Where you could feel the adrenaline flow through your veins. They hoped they never experience something like that again...and when they find Castle...they are gonna kick his ass for scaring them this much.

"Almost there..."Kate Beckett kept saying in a whisper."Just hold on a few more minutes Castle...I'll be with you soon and I won't let go I promise."she had tears in her eyes now."Please..."she said."Let him be alright. Please take this feeling off."

About three minutes later, Beckett's team finally arrived at the scene. There were S.W.A.T teams also, ready to get in the warehouse. They all put their their vests on and loaded their guns, ready to enter the place.

"NYPD!" They all yelled. The entire warehouse was empty. A cold ran through Kate's spine. They found the van, but Castle wasn't there. The teams splitted so that could clear the place faster. She looked in all the rooms on the left side of the first floor, but every room she opened had nothing inside. Something called her attention in one of them. It was a small table and there were wires on top of were so close. She had failed him. They got there too late. Then, someone talking pulled her out of her reverie.

"Beckett!"Esposito called from one of the rooms."I think you might wanna see this." Immediately she went to the room Esposito was in. Her gun fell from her hands when she walked in. She felt somebody's hand on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly. "Kate, just wait 'till CSU comes." She didn't listened. She was wearing her black leather gloves. She wasn't gonna contamine the scene. She walked slowly to the back of the room, where a desk was. There was blood on the floor and the desk. There were lots of bandages on the desk and on the floor. There was also a first aid kit opened. There was a weird smell in the room. Some kind of Chemical."Chloroform." said Esposito as if he had read her thoughts.

"They drugged him." She whispered.

"We don't know that yet Beckett." He stated although he didn't quite believe it.

"Oh come on!" She screamed."You know as much as I do that the blood here is Castle's! You know as much as I do that whoever was here used Chloroform on Castle!"

"Beckett stop."Captain Gates said walking in."That is just speculation. CSU are on their way here to process everything. Until then..."She said looking at Beckett and Esposito."We are not gonna make any assumption because that doesn't help us or Castle for that matter."Then, without saying anything else she walked away.

"I failed him Javi." In that moment Esposito moved towards Kate and gave her a hug."What if I can't find him on time? This is all my fault..."

"No is not Kate."He said caressing her back soothingly."Yes you told him to leave, but only because you were thinking on his wellbeing. He was the one who chose to walk. It was his decision not to take a cab. And what he did in that alley...was brave...stupid...but that's the kind of person he is Kate...you know him more than anyone...he did it...thinking that...that girl in the alley could have been Alexis...and as much as it hurts...I think is one of the reasons you love him so much Kate." Esposito was right. But that only made things harder for her. Yes, that was one of the things she loves most about Castle, but is also one of the things she is more scared of.

"I don't think I can do this Javi...is too much for me..."

"Is too much for all of us."He whispered. It was time to tell her something Castle told him the night she was shot."Kate...when you were shot...he said the same thing...he said it was too much for him to handle...he was feeling the same thing you are feeling right now...he told me he would do anything to trade places with you...and I told him that if you ever heard that you would kick his ass..."Kate manage to chuckle at the same time a single tear ran through her face."And I told him that...all of those things he was feeling at the moment were the reason why he had to continue the investigation...because those feelings are as dangerous as the rifle that shot you, or the people who took Castle away." They separated. Esposito could see how that force that pushed Beckett to do great things was coming back to her. He smiled.

"Thank you Javi." With that she was more decisive than ever to hold onto his writerman, because he was her force. Her reason. Her everything.
