"Salssssssssa party!" Castle yelled as he rolled into the precinct. His arms were laden with bags. Bags that were all making a distinctively glass on glass sound, save one that was crinkling.

Esposito's head snapped up. "Salsa?"

Ryan turned slowly and quirked an eyebrow. "Extra spicy?"

Beckett practically drooled on her keyboard. "Salsa verde?"

"I got everything!" He placed his quarry on the table in the break room and started pulling out jars and popping off lids.

Beckett was hot on his heels and immediately popped open a bag of chips. She grabbed the jar of salsa verde from his hands and curled into the corner of the couch. The munching began.

"Tell me you got habanero salsa, Bro," Ryan squeaked as he began spinning the jars to read their labels.

"Somewhere."

"Sweet!" Ryan started digging through the bags until he came across a jar of the habanero salsa.

Esposito just shook his head from the door way. "Traitors."

"Bro, look, not all of us can have your momma to make salsa for us whenever we want," Ryan shot back. He went back to digging through the chip bag. "You are my hero man!" He took off to the other end of Beckett's catch and dug into his habanero salsa with his Dorito chips.

Beckett looked up from her empty jar. "I just ate a whole jar of salsa. That's not normal."
