Shock and Pain
It was dark, it was Midsummer night and Kate Beckett was going home, wore a blue shirt and her hair loose, she drove at speed allowed, without haste, she was just enjoying the scenery, the sound at low volume, the road was virtually empty, until her cellphone rang, as she caught saw that was Castle:
_ What is Castle?
He was at home, sitting on the kitchen countertop, your daughter doing the tasks the spied on, Castle all smiling soon said:
_ You'll do something today?
Kate soon heaved a sigh and said:
_ Not Castle, I'll take bath and throw me in bed.
_ Oh, bath is a good, but we could catch a film, what do you think?
_ I think ...
She stopped talking and looked the headlights blast coming toward you, Kate dropped the phone in the passenger seat and grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, he looked like a huge truck that would hit well with your car. She was ready to shift when the truck returned to his track, Kate heaved breathing slowly, she looked at for your side a few seconds to pick up the phone while could hear Castle scream through him, she picked up the phone and before even meet, she saw the light that blinded by seconds. She felt the pressure in the body and the clash of metal being dragged and twisted, she tried to take control of the situation, but it was in vain, the car spun and flipped falling into ravine off the road, he stopped hitting a tree, the airbag burst hit in her chest by generating a strong pain uncomfortably, side of the car was completely destroyed as well as the front, she took the seat belt trying to stay more comfortable, heard a whisper irritating close and saw the phone still in the hand and led up to the ear:
_ Castle.
_ Kate what happened? I heard a thud, you okay?
She touched the forehead feeling the warm blood in court, was half lost when noticed that someone approached the car running, she heard yelling again and answered Castle:
_ Stop, scream Castle, somebody beat on my car.
_ Where you are, I'll call the police, ambulance, I'm going up there.
_ I don't know where I am, but has someone coming to here. My chest hurts so much, the airbag burst.
_ Kate don't move, I'll ... I Will ...
Alexis was standing beside the father, who was agitated, so she decided to say:
_ Father GPS her by mobile phone.
_ Oh, I don't ...
_ Until it seems that you don't follow her by phone too.
_ Don't let her know it.
_ All well.
He returned to the phone, Kate was trying to open the car door without success until you hear him again shouting like a crazy:
_ Kate!
_ Castle can stop yelling, I'm here.
_ I Have sent an ambulance until then. And I'm going too.
_ How you did it?
_ I. .. Just stay on the line ok? I'll leave the speaker and you do so well.
_ Ok.
She dropped the phone in the side, leaving the speaker, could hear the breathing fast Castle, and she was sure he could hear the moans of pain. The person who ran up the car approached with the mobile phone in hand, was panting and startled, the man had over 30 and a few years, brown hair messed up by the wind, to tie around the neck and crushed white social t-shirt. Kate soon noticed that he could only be returning from a party, and sure enough there were drunk, he stopped near her and asked:
_ Are you okay?
_ I think Yes.
_ Am Daniel. I already called the ambulance, I'll stay here with you.
_ Kate who is he?
_ Where did this voice?
She looked to the mobile phone in speaker and responded to the Castle:
_ The guy who hit in my car.
_ Very good you're there, because when I arrive I'll break your face!
_ Castle!
_ Castle? Richard Castle? The writer?
_ Ready, now my night will get better still.
_ I'm a big fan of his, that Nikki looks very wonderful, no offenses.
Castle stood in silence, the man was kind of weird until Kate decided to talk.
_ No problem, right? Castle?
_ You are the Muse, the detective?
_ Yes.
She answered, but with a little difficulty, Castle heard her tone of voice and asked:
_ Kate are you okay?
_ A little shortness of breath.
Daniel grabbed the wrist of her for a while and said worried:
_ Castle she has weak pulse.
_ Kate doesn't sleep, ok?
_ I'm trying.
_ Hey, just gets to me, I will be coming soon.
_ Castle ...
_ Yes.
_ You're listening?
_ What?
_ The sound, your favorite music.
_ Can't hear Kate.
Daniel turned to the ravine and said:
_ I'm seeing the sirens, they are coming.
_ Daniel, you know that I know you're drunk.
_ I know, and know that I was wrong, but I won't run away and leave you here alone.
_ Kate'm coming, I'm already seeing ambulances.
_ Ok Castle.
She heard people running and talking loudly, she felt the hand of Daniel depart from her hand, click the phone getting out of line, and someone stirring in her body aching, her eyes were closed and she was cold, someone not far shouted her name and another person spoke loudly:
_ She's in shock.
_ Losing the wrist.
Something wasn't right, but as soon she felt the presence of Castle beside her, her world fell and lost her mind.
