A/N my new Castle story review tell me what you think. And unfortunately the characters aren't mine
Prologue
"I thought Gates sent you home Ryan?"
"She did Beckett, but I couldn't just leave things it was personal."
"You could have asked for my help, or at least told me of your plan."
"What like when ever you and castle go rogue?"
"That's entirely different…"
"How so? You get kicked off a case, then you and Castle go rogue and keep investigating. I get kicked off and me and Esposito go rogue and investigate. The only difference I see is that at least my partner is a real cop."
"Enough Ryan! You're right I would have done the same thing."
"Then why get so mad and yell at me?"
"Sorry, I'm worried that the first time we make a mistake Gates will break the team up." Shit I didn't mean to say that out loud.
"She can't. Can she?"
"Who can't what Ryan? You okay buddy." Esposito, hearing the worry in his partners voice, asked.
"Beckett thinks Gates is going to…"
"Hey Beckett you wanted me to get you when Gates got back, she just got off the lift."
"Thanks Castle."
Later in the afternoon once the case was closed.
"Ryan, Esposito, Castle can you three come to my apartment tonight after work please."
"This doesn't have anything to do with Gates does it Beckett?" The worry back in Ryan's voice.
"No, we just all need to talk."
"How about we go to mine Beckett. I can cook dinner while you and the guys wrap up here. Plus Alexis and Mother are gone and won't be back till tomorrow afternoon." Castle offered.
"Thanks Castle. Does seven work for everyone?" Queried Beckett.
"Works for me Beckett. What about you Ryan?"
"Depends, can we have steak?"
"Sure Ryan we can have steak and chips for dinner. Alexis made brownies earlier and I can pick up some ice-cream for desert."
