Summary: The New York detectives come down to Boston to help the Boston Homicide unit out on a case.

Detective Kate Beckett wiped her face with the back of her hand, grateful that her partner, Richard Castle, wasn't in yet. They had investigated the tenth murder this month, just yesterday, all ten having the same MO. They had come to the conclusion that it was the same killer, the same person who had most recently bound Marshall Watson's wrists and ankles and shot him twice in the abdomen. Since the first murder, the crime scenes had been scattered. Ranging from Manhattan to Brooklyn to Upscale New York. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes as detectives Ryan and Esposito walked into the bullpen, neither of them carrying coffee.

"Hey Beckett, where's Castle?"

"I don't know," Kate answered Esposito's question with actual concern. She really didn't know where he was, he was usually here by now.

"Here I am! And I've brought coffee!" All three detectives turned their heads towards the door as the bouncy writer walked in, as if on cue. He handed the coffee out and smiled his attractive, charming smile. "Have we got anything new on the case- err, cases?"

"Nothing yet. Our killer didn't leave anything at the crime scene, same as the other ones."

Kate gulped down her coffee. "Maybe we can try to find a link in our victims?" She was just throwing out blanks, having no idea really where to go with the case. She hated that this was the first case that had ever really stumped her. She barely noticed when Castle sat down across from her and she was barely listening when he threw out his most recent theory.

"What if, our killer met these people on the streets and they did little things that just irked him. And then he decided to kill them." Ryan laughed, and Esposito continued to type on his computer.

"No obvious links, no colleagues, no high school records, and no family relations."

"Damn." Kate just stared at the record of the last victim, her head blank.

"Detective Beckett."

Kate stood quickly, almost falling down. "Sir."

Captain Victoria Gates gestured towards the female detective, suggesting she come into her office. When Kate obliged, the captain led the way.

"I regret having to inform you, but it seems as if our killer has moved to Boston."

"Like, Boston, as in, Boston, Massachusetts?"

"Yes," the captain paused. "There was a murder down there matching the same MO, and the homicide lieutenant has asked for our help. I'll be sending the four of you to investigate. I don't know how long you'll all be down there, but they need our help."

"Of course, sir. I'll go talk to Ryan, Espo, and Castle now." Kate turned to leave.

"Detective? Just be careful when you're down there. I heard Detective Jane Rizzoli's a force to be reckoned with."

Kate turned back. "I'm sure I can handle anything Boston throws at me, sir." Kate continued out of her captain's office with a smile on her face and before her colleagues could ask, she gave them the answer.

"Boys, we're going to Boston."

Author's Note: This idea just struck me.. Review if you want me to continue. I know that the first chapter is short, but the others will be longer I promise. :) I'm still getting a hold of this site, so if I screw something up, don't get mad !
