Summary: What if Richard Castle was an Ex-Spy and become a NYPD Homicide Detective.

A/N: I know they're many stories like these but who doesn't love bad-ass Castle. This is around Season 5 and 6.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything even though the show is over, but this show still belongs to Andrew W. Marlowe


Chapter 1

Being who I am for over 23 years there is couple thing you don't do to a man with special ops and spy training. One, piss him off, and Two threaten his family. I'm a man that will hurt or kill anyone that hurts my family including the love of my life, Kate. The detective may not be investigating the man that has put out hits on her constantly over the years, but I am. Not because I love Kate but this man needs to pay for what he has done to her and every family over the 14 years, so I must be prepared for the worst.

Castle walks through door of the private gun range he owns in Manhattan. He goes to the back room and puts down his bag on the table and take out the items and put his safety glasses and sound proof earmuffs on. He walks over to the range takes out a Sig Saucer P220 and checks the magazine before putting it back in and taking it off safety. He aims his gun with ease before he empties his clip into the paper target with 4 in the stomach and 3 in the head. He continues this for another 20 minutes before reloads his gun and he puts it back on safety, taking off his gear and putting it back in the bag before he walks out of the gun range and into the busy street.

The Loft

I have been dating Kate since she came to the loft soaking wet a couple months ago, and I haven't told her my past or my active participation in the NYPD police force for over 12 years. I have worked as a uniform for the 34th precinct for 8 years but when I started following around Kate I was transferred as a detective to the 12th precinct work in I can't tell Kate yet but in couple weeks I will tell her everything so we can investigate together.

Castle walk in my loft with my duffle bag in my hand when he's greeted with a kiss by a beautiful woman. He happily kisses her back before I break the kiss "What was the that for" he says breathlessly.

"Just wanted to kiss you and I missed you" Kate says

"Well can I get greet like that every time I come home" he says

"If you play your cards right, so what's in the duffle back?" she says curiously.

"Oh, nothing just some equipment" Rick says before he walks to the study and put my duffle in my safe, then he walks in the living room where he sees Kate sitting waiting for me. "Now where were we" he says wrapping his arms around her waist and her wrapping her arms around his neck. "I think we were here" she says before she closes the gap between them and kisses him passionately.

Their moment was interrupted by Martha Rodgers coming in the loft loudly. Martha sees them jump apart as she walks into the loft. She knew she interrupted them but she still says, "Kiddos I hope I'm not interrupting anything". Rick and Kate immediately say "Yes" "No" together.

"Okay well I'll be in my room need me" she says smiling while walking up the stairs.

Rick and Kate both sighed then they fell silent. Kate breaks the silence by asking "How was your book signing"

Knowing he told her he had a book signing which he did so he nervously says "Good"

Suspicious of his nervousness she made a look but lets it go and says, "So what's for dinner."

"Do you want to order something in? And what do have in mind?"

"Do Remy's deliver" Kate says

"Yeah, I'll call them" Rick says getting up to call them.


A/N: I know this seems short but when you're writing this on paper it feels like a long time. If you didn't notice the setting is set between S5 E1 and S5 E2 that means Kate is still on suspension. I actually like this storyline, but it will need a little more work. I love Reviews so if you give me a reason to write this I will continue with my own computer/laptop.
