Kate POW

It was a beautiful moment. Everyone was happy for us and gave their congratulations to me and Castle. We just had fun.

"Hey Lanie does this party count as a wedding reception."

"Ygh You know that I'm still mad at you for not inviting us for your real wedding."

"Yeah sorry, but I can see that this dress still fits well on you."

"You know I was hoping that you will do this reception, but I can count this party as a one. The only exception is that you can't drink."

"It's ok Lanie. I'm sure that after this little one will be born Castle will give me 'MOMMY'S NIGHT OUT'."

"He will have to." We laughed together.

"What are you laughing at girls?" Castle asked.

"Girls stuff writer boy." Lanie said as I lightly punched him in the arm.

"Ok ok no need for violence." We laughed and I looked at boys, which made my smile drop.

"Hey Kate are you feeling ok?" Asked Castle.

"Yeah, I'm ok, don't worry. Just look at them. I thought that Ryan and Espo were happy, but their faces showing something different."

"Oh honey, they are happy. Ryan's kids will finally have someone to play with and believe me or not, but Espo heart melts every time some kid calls him uncle. Plus he is in that sad mood, since he left the precinct."

"And how do you know that Lanie?"

"Oh Kate don't pretend that you don't know. You both put a bet on when me and Javi will get back together."

"Guilty as charged. So if he acts like that since he came back from work maybe it's because a new case." I said.

"Yeah, but Gates said that they hadn't any new case today and that's why she could left earlier." Castle answered.

"Maybe something happened when she left." I suggested.

"Let's find out." Lanie said as we moved to guys.

"Ryan, Espo where did you lost your smiles. You are worrying our girl. I hope you have a good explanation." Lanie started.

"Well we... are happy for you guys that's a great news, but we...umgh" Ryan started.

"Is it because a case Ryan?" I asked straight. I know that he can't lie to me.

"Well yes. We didn't wanted to worry you especially now after what you both said to us. It's not the time or the place to talk about this." Espo answered.

"Well I can see that it's getting hard on you two, so maybe you better prepare me for this."

"You sure? If it checks out this is going to be very bad case." Kevin asked.

"I'm sorry did I hear a case? I thought we didn't had one today." Gates joined to our convention.

"Well maybe we should start in the beginning. When you left Sir we had a call from Perlmutter. Apparently he found a pattern in some cold cases. So if his hunch will check in we have got a new serial killer in town."

"How could I miss any pattern. Do you know the names?" Lanie blamed herself.

"Angie Everett, Michaela Stone, Chloe Decker, Alexis Vaziri, Temperance Brennan and Juliet Higgins."

"Ohh 6 victims and all women. I remember some of them."

"Yeah Lanie you didn't examine all of them, which made this killer work easier to hide."

"Ok, but you have to have something more. The fact that they are all women is not a strong pattern." I said.

"That's the worst part. All of them was in their mid or late 30s and...

and was at least 6 weeks pregnant."

Well what do you think about this?
