Beckett stood and watched as Castle walked off with his arm around Gina's shoulders, she could feel the eyes of her friends from where they stood in the break room. Only Lanie knew she had broken up with Tom for the ass that just walked off snuggled up to a woman he recently described as a vapid bitch with devil horns. Kate could feel the tears building and the lump in her throat making it difficult to breath but she refused to cry and embarrass her shelf anymore then she already had in front of the boys and the captain.
So Kate Beckett did the next best thing she got mad first at Castle for leaving then at her self for waiting for to dam long and at the evil blond who should remain nameless. Spinning on her heel she stormed to her desk grabbed her purse and keys as she strode past the break room she called out to her friends who were trying not to stare at her after the train wreck they had just witnessed.
"See everybody Monday do not call me cause I will shot you if you do"
Beckett continued to storm out of the building taking the stairs so she didn't have to stand still in the elevator. With only one destination in mind Beckett ripped open her car door and hopped in throwing her stuff on to the passenger side of the car and tore out of the parking garage. 15 min later she pulled into the underground lot by her new building with a squeal of the brakes on the car. Jumping out of her car Beckett grabbed her purse and stopped just long enough at the trunk of her car to get out the emergency over night bag locking the car. Beckett headed to where she keep her bike parked dropping the back onto the floor Kate stuffed her purse in to the bag pulled out her riding leathers and helmet once dressed she swung astride the machine and fired her up the sleeking running Ducati it had set Beckett back a bit financially but was worth every penny when she need to blow off steam. With a roar and a wheelie popped Kate left the garage and headed east and for the first time since the evil blonde showed up a smile graced her features
Castle's day hadn't started out the greatest but it had only gotten worse as the day went on. It started out by not buying Beckett's coffee after a year it felt so wrong not to that he almost gave in before he remember his need to stop acting like her whipping boy she was with Demming now the lucky ass. The case was finished the lover husband arrested and sent up the river so that part of the day went well then he had to drive his little girl of the Princeton summer program after a lecture and a tearful goodbye. He headed back to the precinct for his surprise goodbye part form the team.
The party had been going for almost half an hour before Beckett walk in she looked lighter as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. When she had asked to speak to him in the hallway he had great hopes that she was going to ask him to stay say that she needed him. Just as they started to talk Gina walked up and slipped her arm through his after the comment about staying on top of him for the summer all Beckett said was have a good summer and see you in the fall he left with Gina snuggled in to his side. One hellish car ride later with Gina nagging him the whole way about that book why was it wasn't done why it was taking so long to finish.
He was now standing at his beach house in the Hamptons with Gina beside him looking at the damage a burst water main on the second floor had caused. Four inches of water sat in the main floor and the ceiling looked ready to collapse in on its shelf. All Rick could think is that this is not my day or month really. Watching as Gina head back out the front door towards the car he pulled out his phone and started placing calls first to his old friend Zane Black a retried author and long time resident of the Hamptons .
"Hey Zane sorry to call so late" Rick stated
"No problem Ricky what can I do for you on this fine night" came the smooth reply over the phone. Zane had first met Ricky when he had dated Martha when the boy was young even after the relationship had end Zane had always made an effort to keep in touch with the boy that had always seemed like an honouree son to a man with no children of his own.
"My house is flooded I was planning on spending the whole summer here to write but now it looks like i will have to head back to the city" came castle blurted reply to the question
"Ricky slow down I am sure the damage can be fixed why you don't come stay at my place till you get yours all fixed up" Zane offered instantly
"I wouldn't want to put you out or anything" Castle started to say before Zane interrupted him
"It's no trouble I am one old man in an overly large house with lots of space"
"Well you see my ex wife is with me and also planned to stay for the summer maybe I should just head back to the city"
"Ricky when I said it would be fine I meant just get your sorry ass over here wife and all I got to go though I think some just drove up see you when you get here" where the last words Zane said before he hung up the phone on Castles ear.
Castle stood there for a minute with the phone press to his ear before he walked over to where Gina was leaning against the hood of his car.
"We heading back to the city" it was the first thing see had said to him after he told her to shut up on the drive up.
"No my friends place "they both slipped into the car castle started it up and pulled out of his driveway headed to Zane's place.
