I'm Fine
"I'm fine" She always says it, but what happens when that's not true? Set during mid season 4. AU. Written to follow like an episode. Please read author's note at beginning.
Hi everyone, this was originally an outline/script that I started converting into a story but I decided to leave it as it is so that I can work on my other stories. It's not that great but it's something to read while waiting for season 5. This was written at the beginning of season 4.
Red and blue ;lights flashed all around as Kate pulled up to the front of the AMC movie theater. She quickly got out of the car and walked toward the front enterance where two uniform officers stood guard. "Morning guys," she said as she walked past them and into the theater. She noticed a group of people including Lanie standing in the arcade section of the theater. Walking over to the arcade Kate could hear the familiar quick foot falls of her partner running behind her to catch up.
Beckett
Hey Castle glad you could join us today. She said with a smirk as soon as he caught up.
Castle
I would have been here sooner if someone hadn't requested I stop and get coffee, handing Kate a travel mug.
Beckett
Hey What do we have here? Kate asked lanie who stood next to a toy arcade claw machine. The body of the victim was surrounded by stuffed animals and the claw grabber was suspended over her head.
Lanie
Once we get her out of there we will know more.
Castle
Ooo Can I try getting her out? I have change.
Beckett
Castle. A little respect.
Castle
What ?
Beckett
She is a human Castle she had a life. She was someone's daugh..ter, Kate stumbled on the last word as she winced in pain.
Castle
You ok?
Beckett
Un yeah fine.
Castle
Was it your scar pulling again? Rick asked as Esposito and Ryan walked over to them.
Esposito
We found her ID. It was over by the popcorn stand, Esposito interupted
Ryan
She is Dana Groben, 21 address says she lives in the upper west side.
Beckett
Ok, I'll notify the next of kin. Espo have CSU sweep for prints and someone get her out of there. Kate turned to Ryan, "Who found her?"
Ryan
Ryan pointed to a man behind the counter. Jamal Evens he works here at the movie theater. He arrived at 8 this morning unlocked the door and was setting up when he noticed her. He said there was no one else around.
Beckett
Ok she said as she looked around the theater and spotted the surveillance cameras. Did anyone get the surveillance tapes?
Ryan
Yeah, I sent Marquez to get them.
Beckett
I'll take a look at them back at the precinct and contact next of kin. You comin Castle?
Castle
No, Something isn't right said staring at the victim.
Beckett
What is it?
Castle
She wasn't killed here. There is a lot of blood on her but yet nothing else in there has any blood on it. Kate walked over to Castle and looked inside the arcade game. He was right none of the stuffed animals that surrounded Dana had any blood on them. " ok since there were no signs of forced entry the murder would have occurred here some where. Come on lets start looking around." Rick followed Kate into the hall way that held all of the entrances into the different viewing rooms. She stopped abruptly and spun around looking up and down the hall. Straight narrow hallway no nooks or crannies where she could have been pulled into easily, just doors in to the viewing rooms and bathrooms. Would the murder have killed her during one of the movies? It does get pretty dark and if they time it right they could have killed her during a loud and scary part of the movie and no one would have thought any different about a scream. Then how would he have gotten out unnoticed and placed a body in the arcade game? The bathrooms? No he would have been caught by someone. Kate let out a sigh "OK come on Castle let's start at this end and work our way to the other end."
"Why can't we just look at the storage closet over there where the pool of blood is?" He said as he pointed to a door down the hallway on the right where a slight discoloration could be seen on the dark carpeting.
Kate swiftly walked over to the door as she place a pair of blue gloves on her hands and carefully pulled the door open that was marked with a supply closet sign. The disturbing sight before her made her take a step back. There was blood spraid all over the walls along with bloody handprints and streaks of blood. Castle can you go get someone from CSU to sweep the area please.
Sure thing Beckett.
Scene 2
Beckett and Castle talking with next Miss. Heller; Dana's next of kin.
Beckett
Miss. Heller I'm sorry for your loss, but I have to ask you a few questions.
Miss Heller
My niece was such a wonderful person everyone loved her. Her parents were killed in a car accident when she was little and I have been raising her ever since.
Beckett
Miss Heller what was Dana doing last night at the movie theater?
Miss Heller
I don't know she works up the road at the vet clinic.
Beckett
Does she usually go to the movies after work?
Miss Heller
No she usually comes straight home to get homework done. She attends NYU.
Beckett
Did she have any friends over recently?
Miss Heller
Yes. Her friend Amanda was over a day ago. She is going to be devastated to hear about Dana. They have been friends since the fourth grade.
Beckett
Do you have her number?
Miss Heller
Yes
getting out her cell phone.
Miss Heller (cont)
Here you go.
Beckett
Thank you. Did the two of them go out anywhere?
Miss Heller
Yes they went to the central park zoo. Both of them love animals. Dana's favorite animal is a spirit bear.
Beckett
A spirit bear?
Castle
Otherwise known as Kermode Bears. They are a rare white black bear that live in the rain forest of British Columbia . There white fur is caused by a recessive mutation in a gene, which is the same gene that causes fair skin and red hair like Alexis has.
Beckett
Giving him a look.
Thank you for coming Miss. Heller I will be in contact as we have more information.
Scene 2 cont.
After showing Miss Heller out.
Beckett
Ok lets go talk to Amanda to see what she knows.

Amanda
Shaking head yes and letting them in.
Beckett
Sitting down
You saw Dana a day ago right?
Amanda
Yes
Beckett
What did the two of you talk about?
Amanda
Girl stuff.
Beckett
I'm going to need more than that.
Amanda
Ok, our favorite actor, clothes, we talked some about the animals at the zoo. We made up a story about the peacock falling in love with a snake. The story we made up was so funny.
Smiling at the memory and then realization hitting her.
The zoo will never be the same without her.
Beckett
Did you go anywhere else?
Amanda
No we just walked around central park.
Beckett
Did you notice anyone suspicious following you?
Amanda
No, not that I noticed. Do you think someone was following us?
Beckett
It's possible, I was just wondering if you got that uneasy vibe from anyone.
Amanda
Oh I did get a vibe. When I was talking about my boyfriend with Dana, she wanted to tell me something but she wouldn't at first, so I kept bugging her. She has a boyfriend.
Beckett
Do you know his name?
Amanda
No, she wouldn't tell me. All I know is that she met him at school and they talk online.
Beckett
Thank you for your time Amanda, and if you think of anything give me a call.
To castle
Let's get back to the precinct and see if we can find out who the boyfriend is.

Hey guys any luck with the surveillance footage?
Esposito

Beckett
Rolling her eyes

Beckett
What is the TOD?
Lanie
She was killed between 10 and one.
To Castle

That's after the movie she went to see ended. Someone must have been watching her.
Castle
shrugging shoulders
I don't know
Beckett

Mr. Lanzet

Beckett
Fine thanks. Don't worry about me, let's get the bastard who did this ok?
Looking at the murder board
Something just doesn't seem right, I don't know why but I don't think Morgan did it.
Castle
Beckett come on she has motive. She probably found out that Lanzet was sleeping with Dana. She got mad and decided to take things into her own hands.
Beckett
Yeah but I don't know. I'm going to go check out the surveillance footage are you going to join me?

She killed my father. What don't you understand about that.
Beckett
We have in our records that your father died last month by committing suicide.
Reynolds
Yeah, but she and her family killed him. He died the day of the car accident. He was never the same after that day. He became very depressed and never got over the fact that he killed the Heller's.
Beckett
Yes but Dana did not kill him.
Reynolds
Yes she did. She never forgave him for killing her parents. It was an accident. She didn't forgive him. That's what killed him.
Beckett
Mr. Reynolds,did you ever call Dana?
Reynolds
Yes I called her. I told her that she was killing my father. That she needed to forgive him, but that bit** said she would never forgive him. That he was a murderer.
Castle
So you followed her from work to the movie theater. You sat in the back watching her, she was there alone. When the movie ended you snuck up behind her and pulled her into a storage closet. That's where you grabbed the knife out of you belt and stabbed her multiple times isn't it.
Reynolds
Yeah and it felt good too, plunging the knife into her, remembering every time she never forgave my dad. She murdered him. She killed him.
Beckett
No Ryan you killed her and now you are going to be in jail for a long time.
Reynolds
But I did nothing wrong.
Beckett
We'll let a jury decided that.

Castle
Yes sir. She just had a baby girl.
Jim Beckett

Castle
I know sir we are all surprised. I think Kate got the biggest surprise though.
Jim Beckett
Is she ok?

Yes she and the baby are doing fine. They are taking them to the hospital now.
Jim Beckett
Rick, is it yours?

Are you going to explain how I might have a sister?
Castle
I need to talk to Kate to make sure it's not Josh's baby ok?
Alexis
Oh god dad. Did she cheat on him with you? He is going to kill you this time.
Castle
No Alexis it's not like that. Technically she didn't.
Alexis
Dad what does that mean?
Castle
She broke up with him right before we got together.
Alexis
God dad you didn't wait?
Castle
Alexis we waited long enough. 3 1/2 years is long enough.
Alexis
Dad if I did that you would kill me.
Castle
Your right I would, so don't.
Alexis
It's a good thing I'm not like you.
Castle
Yeah I know. I don't think I would have survived.
Alexis
Hey dad if it is your baby, I think you're going to have your hands full; your craziness and her stubbornness? Oh man I don't think the world is ready of a little Krickett combo.
Castle
I don't think we will be using that name if she is your sister.
Alexis
Dad do you think we should call Gram?
Castle
I think I need to talk to Kate first before she gets involved.
Scene 17
At the hospital
Castle
Hi Mr. Beckett. Wow you got here fast.
Jim Beckett
I just got the news that I'm a grandfather. Of course I dropped everything and ran over here. I'll leave you two alone you need to talk don't you?

Rick
Castle
Yes Kate?
Standing next to the bed
Beckett
You should hold her. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me Rick. That has happened to us. Rick she's yours.
Castle
Are you sure Kate? I don't want to get my hopes up and then for Josh to come along and take her away from me.
Beckett
Rick, she is yours. I haven't slept with anyone but you since I was shot. You're the only one I want to sleep with for the rest of my life Rick. I love you.

I was thinking Johanna after your mom.
Beckett
Rick that is so sweet, but I don't want to live in the past anymore. I can't. I have a daughter now, we have a daughter now, and I don't want to be reminded of the pain when I call her name.
Castle
Well Alexis did call her Krickett in the car?
Beckett
Krickett really Rick?
Castle
No, I'm just messing with you.
Beckett
I like Nicolette, Rick.
Castle
Like Nikki Heat?

I like that. Nicolette Hope
Beckett
Oh Rick, that's perfect. Nicolette Hope Castle

Beckett
I guess we can't keep it a secret anymore.
Castle
Guess not.
Beckett
Oh we are never going to hear the end of this.
Everyone coming into the room and surrounding the happy couple. Camera closes in on the Kate, Rick and Nicolette.
