XY
Time jump two months...
Richard Castle having not been a happy man the past few months. Ever since his wife Kate Beckett had served him his divorce papers for the third time in his 46 years of life, he does not blame her at all.
Since it was all his fault for having to be involved with abduction, of finding out the real truth in regard to his father's involvement with the CIA, the fake murder of Johanna Beckett to place her in the witness protection program the last 16 plus years, and the threat of senator William Bracken.
It was just too much to handle all at once. This also includes having an security officer from Scotland Yard Hawley Shipton to protect him and his family from the threats that might destroy his family.
The only things having to be keeping him going at the moment, was working at his P.I. office part time, along with helping out the boys at the 12th precinct with Ryan now in charge, ever since Beckett became Captain of the 12th precinct.
The problem with working at the 12th was the fact that he and Hawley Shipton were now a team the past few weeks, as part of working together as professionals. I was now forced as well working undercover as a personal couple taking the heat off from page six and his divorce with Captain Kate Beckett.
This however was hard for me, and my family for which Alexis had been quite upset. As with Mother having to find out from other sources, on what I was doing to find the answers to who was trying to kill me.
And then the lie I have known for about a year, having to find out from Kate's father that his wife was actually alive after all this time to hide from those people that had murdered Captain Roy Montgomery,Lockwood,Coonan and several others over the years.
AT THE PRESENT TIME 12TH PRECINCT
I was able to meet with Hawley at the break room while the others including Captain Beckett, were out in the field working on two different murders.
We have started the fires of having an affair, letting everyone know that it was serious the past few weeks. I did not mine the role play aspect of this game, but it had to be done overall.
As Hawley came up to me quickly in the break room, making sure that she was noticed by me. I was able to at least feel secured at the moment having to sneak in a quick kiss to her cheek, before anyone else would come into the break room.
"Are you sure?" It was a simple question, I asked her about the warehouse for which she and her connections were able to find any type of evidence in regard to Bracken and his men.
She said yes to my question having to move to the other side of the room with further details.
Shipton had set up a special task force months prior into looking for Bracken. Since he was the one that wanted to make contact with Richard Castle with evidence that would put down many of the U.S. government members and overseas.
When they were done talking about the case. The both of them headed for the warehouse. Even though to the fact that Castle and Hawley were being followed by Beckett and undercover team knowing full well the threat.
Once they arrived Hawley and her team broke up, leaving Castle and one other to check the third floor not knowing what would happen.
Bracken having to been ready for Castle as with his men, while Shipton was being busy with the others trying to find clues.
Castle had made sure having to carry his sig, while he was behind the first two, As the security guards fired from behind him, as both officers were taken down quickly,as with Castle, as the burning of the shot hitting the back of his left shoulder and leg, as he fell to the ground slow motion, Castle fell to the ground in great pain along with his sig falling to the floor beside him.
Shipton and her team heard the shots fired, along the ones that had just arrived on the scene from Beckett's team, as she ran into the building at full force with her vest and gun with Espo and L.T. having to be right behind her .
It was Beckett first to find Castle on the floor, she was able to find a piece of material to stop the flow of blood before the others arrived at the scene, It was awkward for Beckett to save Castle's life despite what had happen to them because of the divorce, her new job and now Castle's girlfriend and his partnership with Shipton with his P.I. business as well.
As for Bracken, he disappeared along with any information that was supposed to been given to Shipton and Castle.
Castle having been taken to County hospital for emergency surgery, while Alexis and his mother were called to the scene about the shooting.
It was several hours later with everyone having to wait in the waiting room third floor, for any type of news on Castle's health ,Martha,Lanie and even Captain Kate Beckett and Hawley Shipton asleep on the couch.
When the surgeon Doctor Joshua Davidson surprising Kate that he was back to be working in the United States again, and at the same hospital for where she first met him five years prior.
