Chapter 1
Karen put her hands in her pockets as she went through the large rusted door. the squeak briefly. she sighed looking everywhere
"Frank?" she called him
the silence was the only thing latent in that old warehouse on the outskirts of the city. the cold made his breath a breath of cold air. she was shaken and called him again by his name "Fran !! I am ..."
a dry noise came from the darkness, she moved back, seeking the light, but never fleeing
"Places like these are not good for a lady," Frank whispered in a dry voice when he reached her. Karen swallowed dry
"Frank ..." he dared to smile
"you should leave.."
"I heard you had a crisis ..." she moved to the side, frowned when he looked down "What's going on, Frank?" the nod with an empty look, then just look at her between embarrassed and frustrated. Karen felt bad for him.
"Tell me what it is?" She opened her arms to the sides "What is happening here? Because it is good that something is happening ..." she faced him directly, her clear eyes too expressive and full of emotions made Frank feel vulnerable
"There is a boy ..." Frank cleared his throat before continuing "his family was ... hnnumm .."
Karen swallowed "Murdered"
he nodded with an automatic gesture "and he ... has all this shit" he made a gesture to his face "of rage and revenge .. and I could .. I could stop him .. but I let him .. let him .." Frank choked on his words "let him hurt innocent people"
Karen had to take a deep inhale, she put a hand on her hip "You're not responsible for your actions Frank .."
He shook his head "They were children ... he killed a couple of children ... blinded by his rage, attacked the family of the man who killed his parents ..." He stopped when he saw that Karen turned pale "I could leave him tied but I let him go !! I let him go and he attacked those innocent beings !! " She put her hands to her chest and, as her expression became wild, Karen backed away, holding a hand to her forehead. Alder your hair before facing it
"You have to calm down, so you will not solve anything ... and how would you know what he was going to do?" Karen replied
Frank tensed "Because he told me ... and I left him ..."
Karen motioned for him to wait, she pulled out her cell phone, tensed to see the screen. Frank leaned forward a little to see who it was. When she moistened her lips nervously, he could not help but grunt "So I interrupt your appointments huh?"
she glared at him before turning off the phone "It's not your business ... Castle ... let's go back to the guy you want?"
Frank shook his head "you should go ..." sigh "you will be late for your appointment"
"Nice try ... but you're not going to distract me" she crossed her arms
Frank looked up and down with a half smile on his lips "You're still a warrior"
"And you're still stubborn .. now the boy .."
"with a condition.."
Karen smiled at her surrender "well"
"Answer your boyfriend, I do not want you to lose something important for me"
she rolled her eyes with annoyance "I do not think we should debate about my romantic life"
"Page"
she snorted "well, I will .. I will do it otherwise or he or you will not leave me in peace anyway"
sighing and with resignation Karen withdrew and proceeded to send a message to Foggy "Tell Matt that I'm fine .. I'm working on a new article .. I'll call him later .."
Quickly the vibro phone copied Foggy's answer "If this is one of Karen and Matt's fights ... I'm not in ..."
she smiled and typed "Who said it's a fight?"
"You talked to me instead of him ... whatever you do you do not want him to know ... until you've done it"
Karen just smiled "Just keep it away from depression, will you?"
"I work on that .. XOXO"
She shook her head and looked back at Frank "Well, now I want the details, are you ready for that?"
"I think I have no choice with you" he crossed his arms when she took out a notebook
