This is how I think, "Probable Cause" should have ended. Irritatingly short, I apologize. But, I just decided to post it for the heck of it.

Hmmm, wondering if I should bother saying R&R . . .

Disclaimer: I do not own Castle, and if I did, I'd have doubts that they would allow it on television;-)

1. Over?

"Castle, you shot him. It's over," Beckett said in a reassuring tone. She turned to walk away-

"Kate,"

She turned around to face him once more.

". . . You shot him"

Beckett opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, but brought her lips back together and retorted in silence.

". . . and it wasn't over." Castle stared into her expression, seeing the grim realization piling over her face.

She turned back around, giving the novelist a finale worried look before disappearing into the scattered crowd of people, regrettably finding truth in his words . . .

Aaaaaand, that's it:-)
