this would take place sometime during the episode from the other night. Nanny McDead episode 1x02. Just some fanfiction angst. i love this stuff and there isnt enough Castle fanfiction yet so i am throwing in my two cents
Disclaimer: dont own Castle...although that would be really cool
Everyone has their masks. The things they feel are necessary to keep them safe. The things they hide behind.
It's a fact that everybody is hiding something. Some people write books to uncover secrets. Police go out into the real world to find the truth and bring justice. Everybody does it their own way, all the while they have secrets of their own.
I have my secrets just like everybody else. I know that most of the time my smile is just part of my very own mask the way her glare is part of hers. I know I am not perfect. I am what some might call 'damaged goods' even. But I can't help wondering what she is hiding. Sometimes I considered using my connections to make some calls and find out for myself. Something always stops me...
After we solved the nanny case I found myself sitting around where her co-workers were sharing a coffee before they went home. She was at her desk on the phone. The expression on her face was one of sadness, bitterness, and god knows what else.
"Who is she talking to?" I asked Esposito.
"Nanny's parents" the guy said before turning back to Ryan to continue their discussion. I continued to watch her as she spoke. She put her head in her hand rubbing at her temples…was she annoyed by them? She didn't even realize she had a viewer even after she hung up. She stood up without a word and walked out. As she walked by avoiding eye contact, he saw her eyes were a little wet and her nose was the tiniest bit red.
It's like I said, everybody is hiding something. I would try and find out what her secret is, but she doesn't deserve that. She has clearly been through a lot and if my guesses are right she doesn't need anymore problems in her life. It astounds me that she can do what she does everyday. That's why I write about her, that's my way of finding her secret, without actually doing so. Maybe one day she will pick up a Nikki Heat novel and smile at the character she helped create.
That would be nice, she should smile more.
Yay! R&R please^_^
