A Femme Fatale
Disclaimer: I do not own Castle. If I did, I would have gotten them together way sooner.
Summary: When Castle takes on a case with Detective Beckett, he gets more than what he bargained for.
Rick Castle brought his standard two cups of coffee; one for himself and one for Beckett. Police cars were surrounding the crime scene. There were many officers outside. More than usual. Strange. Maybe it's a high profile case, he thought to himself.
He walked under the tape to cross the crime scene. Detective Beckett came up to him. He offered her the cup of coffee. A smile came across her face. "Thanks" she said taking the cup.
He looked at the victim. Looked like he was killed brutally. Three shots to the chest.
"What do we got?" asked Beckett as the Hispanic Javier Esposito came up to her and Castle.
"White male, 20 years old. Was shot three times to the chest."
Castle looked up at Esposito. "Any signs of struggle?"
"Signs of sexual assault. Otherwise, nothing else."
Seemed like it was a crime of passion, not a robbery. "Was it a robbery?" Kate asked, as she pushed her hair to the side.
"No, money is still inside the wallet. No credit card though" Javier responded..
"We'll be able to ID him when Peralmutter identifies him back at the morgue then. Thank you" Esposito nodded as he left.
Once Esposito was gone, Castle groaned. Peralmutter's a killjoy. Beckett rolled her eyes.
"Can we please try to not root against who the Medical Examiner is for out case? Even if he is a killjoy?"
"Yes detective..." he responded back sarcastically.
She elbowed his arm playfully. "Shut up" with a smile tugging on her face.
He grinned. She and Castle had been working with each other for three years now. Between that time, they have developed a decent relationship. Their relationship was questioned by other officers and detective as more than "just friends", but they both denied that they were sleeping with each other.
"Heading back to the precinct. You coming?" she asked casually.
"Yeah," he said and he followed her into her car, as they drove back to the precinct.
