Summary: Telling her what he’s up to would spoil the fun. Response to (my suggested)
castle100 challenge scavenger hunt.
Attending a meeting of the Mystery Writers of America should be an honor. Beckett’s met some pretty famous writers tonight. But her instincts say that Castle is Up To Something.
Maybe it’s the cardboard box with odd miscellanea (including pince-nez spectacles and a live orchid) that he turned in when he got here. Maybe it’s the way Castle’s introducing her to his colleagues. Or maybe it’s the presence of three other police officers, two in uniform and one detective she recognizes.
Confirming her suspicions, Beckett discovers a printed list of mystery-related items, including “a cop.” Tonight’s their annual scavenger hunt.
