This chapter is pitifully short but it leads into the next story perfectly! Hopefully you enjoy it and don't hate me too much for my evilness!

Holding the case file close to his heart, Rick sighed as he entered the building and stared at the man who was stood at the doorway watching him. Was he really doing this? Was he really going to risk his relationship by trying to strengthen it through getting the answers Kate had been searching for? Sitting down at the table, Rick stared at the man who quickly sat opposite him before he rested the file on the table and watched it for a moment. If he did this it would mean no going back. He would be going behind his wife's back; he would be investigating a case that no one had any answers for and desperately hoping that she forgave him one day.

"So Mr Castle what can I do for you?" the man asked as Rick slowly ran his fingers across the folder. He was going to open everything up! He was going to be opening everything that Kate was terrified of. "Is this the case you wanted me to look at when we talked on the phone?" he asked quickly as Rick pushed it towards him and watched as the older man slowly opened the file and began to read through it. "Is this someone important to you?" he whispered.

"She was my mother in law" Rick admitted as the man nodded and continued to read the file. "I just need you to see whether you can find anything new, anything that wasn't found before" he stated as the man continued to nod while focusing completely on the file. "You'll call me if you find anything new?" Rick asked as he stood up and stared at the man for a moment who quickly looked up at him.

"I'll call the moment I find something" he explained as Rick nodded slowly before letting himself out of the apartment, knowing that whatever he did today was going to have a massive effect on the future of his marriage!

You're all going to hate me but this is going to be the last chapter of this story!

I know it's a shock but I couldn't think of anything else to write in this story and I wanted it to end on this chapter so you've got another excited story to come into. At least I hope you still want another story and what you thought of this!

I also quickly want to explain why I ended the story here. I want to start a new story with the new chapter of their lives. The next chapter is going to be a lot more of Johanna's case and there will be more scenes of Kate at the precinct and I hope you understand why I decided to end this one where Kate is ending her time as a beat cop and is moving on to join the twelfth and where Rick is making that big decision which is going to have a massive impact on everyone's lives. Anyway please tell me what you think!

Thank you for taking this journey with me as well!
