Captain Gates, Beckett, Ryan, Esposito and Agent Reynolds walked through the bunch of curious people and the yellow tape that divided the crime scene. There he was. Josh Davison on the cold ground with his eyes opened expressionless and with a hole in the center of his forehead. He was still in his doctor scrubs and had bloody latex gloves on.

"He was dumped here." Beckett found herself saying. The others nodded.

"Cause of death as you all can see was GSW to the head." Lanie said pointing at the wound.

"Time of death?" Esposito asked.

"Not long, probably three hours ago." Lanie answered.

"Who find the body?" Ryan asked.

"The guy over there." She said pointing at a tall guy about 25 years old. "He was walking back to his place from a bar close from here." Without hesitation Ryan and Esposito walked towards the guy and started taking his statement. Agent Reynolds started looking around the scene looking for signs of the ones who left Josh there while Beckett kneeled in front of Josh's body and started noticing the gloves.

"The blood on his gloves is still fresh, but I won't know whose is it until I take it back to the lab." Lanie said knowing what Beckett was gonna ask. Then she lowered her voice and asked. "Do you think this is connected to Castle's case?"

"I don't know Lanie." she said concern filling her voice. "I hope not." then she stood up and Gates approach to her.

"Detective do you know if Doctor Davison had any enemies while you two were together?" Gates asked.

"No that I know of sir." Beckett answered. In that moment Ryan and Esposito finish with the witness.

"Ok so the guy drunk but he remembers a van dumping Josh's body here and then leaving. He didn't see the guy neither the plates of the van, he just approached the body after the van left and called 911." Ryan said disappointed.

"They chose a good place to dump the body." Agent Reynolds commented. "There are no security cameras around until about five block towards both sides of the street and from what I could tell the victim has no cell-phone or wallet to make it look like a robbery, which means that..."

"All the evidence we need is where he was killed." Beckett finished. "And we probably won't find anything here because they could be in a completely random place in the city."

"That's right." Reynolds confirmed.

"Wait we don't know yet that this is connected to Castle." Gates said. She came to know her detectives well enough to know they were driving crazy about not finding evidence that would lead them to Castle. "Dr. Parish please have those gloves analyzed as soon as possible."

"Yes Captain." Lanie said already on her way to the morgue bus.

"In the meantime we are gonna head back to the precinct and see the security tapes closest to this place, maybe we can find something." Gates said with determination. And so they went back to the precinct hoping to find something on the security tapes.

"Oh for god's sake this is useless." Beckett after reviewing the tapes for the fifth time. "Have you heard from Lanie?" she asked Esposito.

"Yes I just spoke with her." he said gently. "Results came back from the blood in Josh's gloves." He said holding a file in his hands. Beckett took it from his hands and then her face dropped. it was Castle's. She quickly went back to the tapes and replayed them again. "Beckett..." she wasn't listening. "Beckett stop." Esposito ordered. But she wouldn't listen.

"Detective Beckett go home and that's an order." Gates said.

"No Captain the more we wait the less chances we will get Castle back alive!" she yelled with tears in her eyes. Why the hell the world just decided to turn the back on them and left them with nothing to go on?!

"I wasn't asking for an opinion Detective." Gates said coldly. "Detective Ryan please escort Detective Beckett to her place and make sure she gets there." Ryan nodded and gently took Beckett's arm.

"Don't touch me Kevin!" Beckett hissed at him.

"Detective don't make me take you off the case." Gates said. They stared at each other for a minute until Kate finally backed down.

"I'll take a cab." she said finally, then she started walking towards the elevator. To her surprise she didn't have to wait long to hail a cab. She told the driver her address without thinking. She would keep working on the case from home. She had taken the file with her and took pictures of the board. After about 20 minutes, due to traffic she was finally at her front door. She paid the cab when she saw her doorman quickly approaching at her.

"Hey Joe what's up?" She asked managing a smile, but then it fainted when she saw the fear in her doorman's face.

"I was in the restroom...and when I came out there was...there was..." he stammered.

"Joe take a breath." she instructed. He did. "Now tell me what did you see?"

"Blood..." he said. "All over the main hall and in your floor." She froze.

"Did you see anyone leaving the building?" she asked in a full detective mode quickly entering the building. Oh there was blood alright and lots of it. She quickly made her way to her floor and it was like seeing a horror story, but it turned worse when a small pool of blood was right in her front door. there were also handprints in her door as in someone knocking and touching the doorknob. There was only one person she could think off right now and she was sure he showed up while she wasn't at her place. Without hesitation she ran back towards the front door again desperately looking for the blood trail. She started running up the street until about 25 meters ahead she saw the figure of a man stumbling and limping. It was him. She'd recognize that shirt and that hair anywhere.

"Castle!" she screamed she was already crying. Slowly the man turned around to reveal the beaten face of Richard Castle. He smiled, and she saw his mouth moving before he fell on his knees on the ground. "Oh my god Rick!" In seconds she was beside him.
