When Esposito and Ryan arrived with everyone in tow they ushered them all into the waiting room "We are going to see what we can find out " Esposito said as he motioned for Ryan to follow . And they turned and walked into a burly looking man "who are you ?" Ryan asked eyeing the man cautiously ,
"Deceives, this is Ronald , he is Rick's body guard " Martha said "He has works for us for 6 years, he is safe now go check on her " Martha waved them off
The Detectives walked out of the waiting room and started down the hall they spotted Castle he was talking to a Doctor castle spotted them and waved them over …Castle shook the Doctor's hand and walked to meet the guys …"She's in surgery , she is doing as well as can be expected , " he whispered but guys we have to get them out of here" castle pointed towards the waiting room .. I have my guys working on getting my house in the Hampton's set up for everyone it's the safest place I have my own body guards security system and bullet proof windows .. "
"Seriously bullet proof windows ?" Ryan smiled
"I had a stalker it wasn't pretty." Castle stated Come on I need to see my daughter and Josh said he would keep us updated .."

"yes Josh , I needed someone I could trust with her in there ,and Laney is in there too "
"Didn't they break up" Ryan asked Esposito
"Yeah they did "
Guy s why did I not know ?, " Josh had to be the one to tell me ." Castle shook his head I get why Kate didn't tell me .. But .. Never mind come on I have to see my family …."
As soon as they walked in to the waiting room Alexis rushed into Castles arms "Daddy is she okay ?"
:I don't know pumpkin " Castle stroked his daughters head , " okay all I know is she is still in surgery she has lost a lot of blood so right now we are waiting .."

"Okay she is in ICU its touch and go right now she is not awake but the two of you can go see her .. Follow me "
"Thank you" Josh castle said as he and Mr. Beckett followed the Doctor to Kate's room .. The two men sitting in the chairs provided for them .. " You get 10 minutes then you have to wait till the next visiting hour starts" .. Josh said patting Castles shoulder ..
"Thanks Josh " Castle says meeting his gaze Josh looked from Castle to Kate then back at Castle. nodded his head and walked out of the room …
"Mr. Beckett ..I'm so sorry . I realized their was a shooter two seconds too late .Castle picked up Kate's hand and kissed it .. God I'm so sorry Castle sobbed .
"Rick you did all you could do , you have done so much for my Katie , you brought life back into her , all those years she worked never allowing herself a life or to have fun , when you started shadowing her she was pissed in the beginning , but as days went by then months the way she would talk about you changed is stead of " I am going to shoot him he is such as child ", it turned into her calling me to tell me what the last thing the two of you had come up with , how she was wrong about you , and she was glad you were there , and when she started having doubts about herself , you nudged her in the right direction ..you put happiness back into her voice and for that Rick I thank you "
"She really said all those things about me?" Rick asked in amazement
"She love s you Rick, did you know I thought you guys were dating the way she talked about you , I didn't even know about the Doctor "
"Really ?".. wow" castle kissed Kate's hand again then stood and brushed her hair behind her ear " looks like we are gonna have that talk after all Kate "
"Guys you time is up" Josh announced ..
"I will be right outside " Castle whispered into her hair , "you can do this I love you .always" and Castle walked out behind Jim . .. As soon as they stepped out of the room Her alarms started sounding off , what the hell Castle said flying into the room ….
Code blue Josh yelled as he headed to the room ..
Castle looked at the monitors and back at Kate "Do something Josh "Castle yelled at the Doctor ..
"I can't Castle she has a DNR . I Cant do anything "
"Bullshit ! someone get in here and get her back now !"castles said flying across the room at Josh "you can, I will pay you what ever you ask don't let her die on me , I can't lose her , not now. Castle was sobbing
Mr. Castle if you do not back down I will be forced to have you removed from this hospital . Josh barked " I am doing my job and following the orders of my patient ".
"Fuck your Job ! You self righteous son of a bitch" "you never cares about her !" castle screamed .
Security ! Get him out of here now ! Josh yelled time of death O-500 hours

He felt as if his heart could break no more until he heard his daughter cry out , Castle hit the door guys lets go now ! No one spoke they followed castle into the lobby to wait on the car , Jim castle said as he pulled the ,man into a hug , I am sorry , I will stay here until the remains are released then I will bring her ashes to you .. Castle sobbed again .
"Daddy , come with us " Alexis begged
"I will be there soon pumpkin , I promise, I love you, "castle kissed his daughters head and pushed her into the car that awaited the small group ..
"Mr Castle is it true you r real life Nikki Heat is dead? "A reporter called
"Cant you let people mourn in peace get that camera away from my family before I break it " castle screamed on the brink of losing control "you are all a bunch of fucking sharks" castle said as he jerked the camera from the camera man and sent it flying across the parking lot ..
"Daddy " Alexis screamed
"I love you Lex" castle said meeting her eyes .. Ryan Keep your phone on , and get them out of here .. I will see you in a few days ,…Come on Javier ….. We need to find Laney so we can get Kate's Ashes ..
A text message came through on Ryan 's phone about 30 minutes into the trip to the Hampton's
