A/N: Hey guys! I thought of this little thing during school today. I'm pretty sure it'll start out rough. The first few chapters will be focusing on the murder but then it'll gradually move to fluff and..other stuff. This will last however long you want it to last. This is my first time, go easy?
Time : Taken place after the last scene with C&B from One Life to Lose..
A/N2: I don't own any of the Castle characters or Heat Rises. Oh how I wish, though.

As soon as he got home, Rick sat down on his couch and sighed. He leaned his head back and noticed bright, blue eyes staring down at him.
"Hey dad, how'd your day go?"
"Tiring. Pretty interesting case, though."
"I heard. What did Detective Beckett say after you gave the picture?"
"Oh she was thrilled! Surprised by how I got it but it was a good idea to get her that. She had the best smile on her face." Quickly after saying that, a smile slowly formed on Castle's face. Seeing her dad's joy, Alexis smiled as well. She sat next to her father. "Is that all that happened? You seem… bothered." Rick sighed and turned to his daughter,
"Josh called. Interrupted our little….moment."
"Oh, Dad…. When are you going to do something about this?"
"About what?" Alexis thumped the back of her dad's head."You've got some learning to do," she stood up, headed for the stairs, "go to sleep, Dad. You need it."
"Night, pumpkin." Rick sat there for a few more minutes, thinking to himself. 'I wish I could do something about this. I'm hopeless.' He closed his eyes and seconds later, they popped wide open. He ran to his office and started typing ideas for Heat Rises. He only has 7 chapters left to write. His idea shot up, and typed 2 chapters.
