Chapter One
Beckett awoke to a gentle hand shaking her.
"Are you alright?" Castle asked her. She now felt excruciating pain all over her body, mostly her head.
"You took quite the beating." Castle said, worry and guilt in his voice.
"What happened?" Beckett answered, very confused.
"You don't remember? We were kidnapped."
4 hours earlier
Beckett was finishing up some paper work from their last case. A dead teenage girl had been found with a screw in her side. They had solved the murder in remarkable time. It wasn't hard considering their killer was the girls abusive boyfriend, that was 18. He couldn't have been dumber. The case was in and out of their office in no time. Finally she had finished her paperwork. She let out a long yawn.
"Your tired. Let me give you a ride home." Castle said from his regular seat at her desk.
"Oh Castle, I forgot you were here." She gave a small chuckle, "I really am tired."
"Come on let's go." Castle said grabbing her by the hand.
"Oh no, it's alright I can drive home." Beckett insisted.
"I'd actually rather you be here to see the morning. Let me give you a ride home." Beckett finally complied. The ride was short and uneventful. Beckett's eyes threatened to close and never open again.
"Alright, when you get up there flick the lights so I know your okay." Castle said.
"Oh Castle. I will be fine."
"Just do it!" He said then leaned in and gave her a kiss goodbye. She got out of the car with a smile on her face. They had been dating for a while, and it was the happiest relationship she had been in, in a long time. Once inside she went to flick the lights to assure Castle of her safety but was stopped mid stride by a long strong arm wrapped around her waist. She opened her mouth to scream but a large hand clamped over her mouth, stopping all sounds. He lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom. She fought vigorously and tried not to think about what would happen next. She gained the upper hand for a short while but not before he pulled out a gun and put it against her head.
"Stop fighting." He panted. She really had given him a run for his money. She put her hands up in surrender. He grabbed her and put her In a choke hold with the gun to the side of her head when he heard the door knock.
"Beckett? You alright? You didn't flick the lights." Castle said in a teasing tone, oblivious to the turmoil behind the door. When she didn't answer he slowly turned the knob and walked inside.
"Im comin in your door was unloc-" he stopped mid sentence when he saw the situation.
"Don't move or I will put a bullet in your girlfriends pretty head." The man seethed.
"Alright." Castle gulped.
"Walk out the door, we will be right behind you. Remember any funny business and your girlfriend will pay for it." Castle walked out the door. Beckett and her captor at a slow pace behind him. Their captor led them to the parking lot and to a small Milan.
"A Milan really?" Castle said forgetting his situation. He felt the hard butt of the gun connect with the back of his head he fell to the ground barley hanging on to consciousness. He quickly tied up Beckett while Castle was dazed and threw her in the trunk and slamming it closed. He hauled Castle to his feet and shoved him in the back seats. He gave him one more hard punch from the butt of the gun and Castle fell into unconsciousness. The man quickly got into his car and drove off into the night. He finally had the beautiful Kate Beckett. The only foil was now he had to take care of the writer. He was definitely not expecting company.
