He had his free arm rubbing her leg in comfort. He would kiss her head every now and again. Kate finally broke the silence, " how long do you think we have been in her?" "Idk but we have to be getting out soon." Castle was right. About five minuets later the van door swung open. " Ok come on get got come on!" Bracken ordered. They did, castle exiting first. He brought them into an abandoned warehouse. He un cuffed them and he tied castle to a chair. Another man came in with a mask and he took Beckett and tied her to a chair about 5 -10 feet away from castle. Bracken said he would be back soon and as soon as he left castle tried to get untied. " I think I know where we are" he said to Kate. " we are on the east side of town." "Ok but how are we suppose to tell Ryan and Esposito?" That's the only thing I don't know." He said still trying to get free. "What are you doing Castle?" Kate questioned. " Well when I was writhing one of my books I learned how to untie myself If I was ever tied to a chair." Kate just stared at him in disbelief. Then a few seconds later the rope dropped and he was free. " Ha told you I could get free" he said. She just shook her head. Castle rushed over to untie Kate when the warehouse door slid open. Bracken entered with two other men with masks with guns. "Well I was going to untie you anyway you just made my life a little easier." He said with a grin. He motioned for castle to step back. He wouldn't. Bracken then waved the gun at him, so he did but not to far back. He started towards Kate. He went behind her pointing the gun at her head and the masked men pointing theirs at castle. " I swear to god if you hurt her..." Castle got cut off by bracken. " Don't worry I'm not going to hurt your girl, not here anyway." Bracken then untied Kate and pushed her up, still having the gun pointing at the back of her head. One of the men grabbed castle and did the same. They took them into a room with no windows. He shoved Kate in first. The other man still had castle. Bracken entered the room. Castle was standing in the doorway with guns to his head. Bracken backed Kate up to the wall. He stood in front. Kate couldn't do anything because she knew they would shoot Castle if she did anything.

" I can't it's too much pain I can't" "ok then I'll carry you over there" "no Rick it's fine I'll just stay here"No, Kate if he comes back I won't be able to protect you as well."

Not as much as before but still a lot" "ok well close your eyes and rest. You didn't get much sleep last night," he ordered. "No what if they come back?"
