So apparently my sister loves this story. Anyway I don't own them.
By the way, I'm not from New York, I have no idea where anything is and I'm too lazy to look at a map.
Walkers and Casketts Chapter 2
"Damn, they're attracted to the sound of a gun firing. I shouldn't have shot him. Come on we have to get out of here!" he exclaimed as he took her hand and ran from the hoard of zombies that were parading towards them.
"Where are we going?" she asked him.
"To the precinct! Come on!"
As they ran the three blocks to the precinct Castle took out the radio in his pocket and yelled "We're on our way back! There's a group of them behind us! We'll be there in four minutes have the doors open and ready to close immediately!"
"We?" Esposito's voice asked. "Who's 'we'?"
But Castle didn't reply instead he picked up Kate and threw him over his shoulder because she was falling behind, still sore from her gunshot wound and ran.
"Castle!" she shouted while hitting his back.
"You were falling behind! I don't want them to get you. I just got you back, I'm not ready to face that!" he reasoned.
"Fine! Just run!"
"I am!" he called back
"Faster! They're gaining on us!" she yelled at him while looking nearly face to face with one of the zombies. It wasn't a pretty sight. Half of her face was missing and the arm that she was reaching out with to grab Kate with didn't have a hand on it and the other one was gone completely. "They obviously aren't that bright, this one's trying to grab me with a non-existent hand," She called to him.
"Yeah, they're pretty stupid" Castle chuckled.
Finally they reached the doors of the Twelfth. Esposito and Ryan were standing there with guns pulled and holing the doors open for Castle and Beckett. Once they finally got inside he set her down and helped the boys close and bolt the doors shut. When they finally got that done, Castle slumped down against the door and tried to catch his breath.
When Ryan and Esposito turned around they stood there in disbelief staring at Beckett.
"What?" she asked exasperated.
The next thing she knew she was in a Rysposito sandwich having the life squeezed out of her.
"Okay, boys I can't breathe," she croaked from the middle of the two after a minute or so.
"We thought you were dead. Castle was right," Ryan said.
"Told you so," Castle walking up behind them and grabbing Kate's hand. He was feeling extra affectionate and no one could blame him. He had just gotten back the love of his life and was happier than crack head with a pound of heroine. No that's too dark, how about a kid that has just found the cookie jar. Yeah he could really go for some cookies right now. Man he really missed his kitchen.
"I need a change of clothes. This is really itchy and disgusting," she said picking at the gown that she was still wearing.
"Oh, yeah I have some of your stuff upstairs. You can take a shower, just make it quick, there's not much hot water left. Come on," Castle said as they headed towards the staircase. "Sorry but the elevator uses too much power and everything is pretty limited lately."
"What about Gates?"
"Honestly, we have no idea. She hasn't shown up here alive or dead yet," Esposito said from behind them.
"Here we are, come with me to get your stuff and say 'hi' to everybody. I'm sure they'll be glad to see you," Castle said as they walked through the door that lead to the bullpen.
As soon as they stepped through the doors she was rushed with the feeling of home and felt a sense of belonging surge through her.
"Richard, darling is that you?" Martha called walking around the corner. "Tell me I'm not hallucinating. Kate is that really you?" the woman asked as she wrapped the detective up in a hug and spun her around. "Come say hello. Your father will be so happy to see you," she said as she grabbed Beckett's hands a pulled her.
"Easy mother, she's still a bit sore."
"Oh, darling I'm sorry. I forgot," the older woman apologized.
"It's fine Martha," Kate said as they rounded the corner.
"Katie is that you?" Her dad asked not believing his eyes
"Hi dad," she said as she hobbled towards him.
"Oh, Katie," he said as he hugged her tight and kissed her hair. "I missed you."
"I missed you too dad."
While Kate was reuniting with her father, Castle was looking for Alexis. "Hey Ryan have you seen my daughter? I'm in desperate need of a hug."
"Uh, yeah she went to the restroom," Ryan said from his area of the room. They had pushed all the desks back against one of the walls to create more space for everybody to settle comfortably.
"Hey dad, did I hear something about Detective Beckett?" the girl asked while walking back into the room. All she got from him though was a bone crushing hug. "Dad I can't breathe."
"I'm sorry, there's been a lot of hugging today and just wanted my fair share. And yes, I found Kate."
"Where was she?"
"She was walking down Lexington, towards one of them; she didn't know what he was so I shot him before it could get to her."
"Oh, I'm going to go upstairs and read."
"Okay sweetie, don't learn too much, can't have you smarter than me."
"I'll try not to dad," she said walking backwards towards the staircase, turning around when she reached the first flight and headed upstairs. When he turned around Kate was standing there with a smile on her face.
"Hey, how about that shower and clean clothes?" she asked and bit her lip.
Damn that is so hot, he thought. "Um, follow me. They're in here with my stuff," he said as he walked towards the break room. He gathered her stuff up for her and handed it to her. "I'm pretty sure you know where the showers are, but I'm going with you anyway 'cause you don't look all that stable. No offense I just want to make sure you're alright."
She smiled and took his hand, "Come on Castle, let's go."
Once they got to the showers Castle grabbed her by the waist and kissed her thoroughly. She had forgotten about the shower by the time his lips touched hers. Tongues were battling for dominance, hands were everywhere, and moans were suppressed and swallowed by the opposite party. "I love you; I haven't gotten the chance to say that yet and I am so glad, no ecstatic that you're here and alive. I was nearly to the point of insanity not knowing where you were or if you were even alive. Four months is a very long time to go without knowing about the person you love. I must sound so sappy right now, and I don't want to pressure you. I'm sorry, I'll shut up now."
"I think it's sweet and it's what I could use right now. Everything has changed so much since I was shot and you help take away the … loss, I guess. I don't know I'm really tired right now, but I love you too, now let's go take a shower," she told him as she backed away while grabbing his hand and pulling him with her.
