The Call of the moon

Chapter 1:

Richard Castle wrote on his computer. He was at home in his office writing the umpteenth time in the life of Nikki Heat when his phone rang. Posing his computer on his desk, he grabbed his phone.

"Castle."

"Castle? It Esposito "

"Hey how its going? We have a case? Usually it's Beckett who call me. "

"I don't call for a murder ..."

The tone of his voice disturbed the writer.

"What's happening? "

"It's Beckett ... she disappeared. "

Castle arrived at the station in 15 minutes, and looked totally panicked. There, he found Esposito, Ryan, Lanie and the captain.

"What happened? What do you mean Beckett is missing?"

"Beckett and I were supposed to go for a drink but she wanted to go home to shower first and change clothes. After an hour I called to know what she was doing but she did not answer, so I went to her apartment and ... "

Lanie cut her story and gave a sob. Esposito round her shoulders with his arm.

"... Her door was open. The apartment was ransacked and there was blood ... lots of blood ... "She hid her face in Esposoto's neck and cry.

The panic increased in Castle from second to second.

"But-but we are sure that it was the blood of Beckett? "

"We checked, it is the blood of Beckett, "said Ryan.

Castle's legs began to tremble. He collapsed on the chair beside him, tears beginning to appear in his eyes."And-and her body ...? "

"No trace. "replied the captain.

Castle felt a tear fall, then another.
