Trying to surprise kate, as always, i venture through the precinct, two large coffees in tow. My heart thunders in my chest at the thought of her, she's truly...extraodinary.
Not only has she been my partner, i have been with her through everything. She was and will always be my one and only. Sure he had messed everything up with other girls he had been with, Hell he failed two marriges, but he wasnt going to ever make those mistakes with Kate, you know, after they actually got together. Which is now seeming less of a possibility with Josh in the picture.
He had never seen her smile so much, She'd come in happier than he had ever seen her, and it almost seemed fake to him, the whole ordeal, but he wasnt going to question it. She seemed to think she never got enough time with him, rushing home after work like someone had told her she was about to be winning a million dollars. Which castle scoffed at, knowing he could give her just that if that's what she wanted. He had to admit, it seemed very strange to him. But if she was happy so was he.
She's most definitely the strongest woman i have ever met and I lo...no rick you ARE NOT going there. You do not love Katherine Beckett. Who am i kidding, i love her more than life itself,but she has a boyfriend, and that would be just plain wrong.
I mustered a sad smile, reaching her desk and expecting her to rip the delicious caffeinated beverage from my awaiting hands, only to realize i was not looking into the eyes of the breath taking detective, instead meeting an empty chair. Thats when i realized the precinct was utterly and completely silent. Whirling around i noticed there was no one adorning the usually busy building and i couldn't help but wonder if i was being pranked. Not ever had i seen the place so empty. and for a moment i wished Eposito and Ryan were there,cracking jokes about little castle babies running around the precinct. As it always made my heart flutter.
I was caught in a day dream for a moment but as my mind finally caught up to me, i decided to see where everyone went. Surely they were all somewhere here, maybe they had all gone out to the old haunt? No, obviously they would have invited him..right? He had been a big help here, and he was finally beginning to think that they all wanted him here, almost expecting him to come in every morning. Ryan and Espo were brother-like to him and he considered every member of the NYPD his family, so there was no way they would leave him out of the team fun he reminded himself, Shaking the thought from his head.
Exploring further he began to become vauglely aware of the crashing sounds from within the gym, small wimpers escaping between loud smacks. His heart raced as he recognized the gasping voice he heard as kates. And instantly he wanted to slam the door down and whatever was going on it there, it was obvious that they were to busy to realize Castle's desperate attempts to pry open the locked entry. His,heart, pounding loudly in his chest, almost stopped at the sight before him, as he managed to conquer the barrier between him and was left to the death defining event infront of him.
