Tyson Returns:
It was an ordinary day at the 12th precinct, Detective Beckett was finishing up paperwork from the previous case. Meanwhile Castle in his chair next to hers was just watching and admiring how cute Kate was, biting her lip focused on her work. Or so he thought... "Castle what do you want?" "How did you know I was looking at you?" "Castle I just can tell, so what did you want?" "Oh nothing I just felt like staring." "Well I'm glad I can entertain you Castle." She quickly went back to her work. If she expected to get home at a decent hour, she wanted to make sure all the paperwork was completed. And amazingly Castle didn't bother her much after that, he just sat their waiting patiently for her to be done. "Castle you don't have to wait for me, we have no more cases tonight unless someone feels like murdering at 12:00 in the morning. You can go home and be with Alexis and Martha." "Beckett I'm not moving until I know you are safely at home." "Fine... Castle... I'm almost done, but your not driving me home ok?" "Understood detective."
Fifteen minutes later as promised Beckett finally finished the neverending pile of paperwork. She was very happy to finally being able to get out of there. All she wanted to do was go home and take a nice warm bath and then get a good night sleep. She got up and Castle helped her put on her jacket. She loved how he would always do these simple things for her, but she still has that wall up and not even a simple feeling like that wants to escape... She was still thinking of that when Beckett heard Castle calling out her name... "Beckett... Hey Beckett are u ok?" "Huh oh sorry Castle I'm just tired..." "Maybe you shouldn't drive after all Kate.." "Castle... I will be fine I can still drive when I'm tired no big deal.." "Kate... ughhh fine then let me at least walk you to your car please?" "Ok Castle lets go"
Beckett grabbed her keys, her badge, and her gun, and walked toward the elevator with Castle. What felt like hours were only minutes when they reached outside to their cars. Castle still felt obligated to drive Kate home, but decided not to push her since she was already exhausted enough. He helped Kate into her car and hesitated before closing the door. "Castle I know that look I will be fine alright?" "Ok, but Beckett please at least call me when you get home, so I know your safe.." "Alright I will Castle goodnight" "Ok goodnight until tomorrow detective." Castle watched her as she drove away into the darkness of the night, not realizing that his worse nightmare was going to become reality...
