LAST CHAPTERS AND NEW BEGINNING (chapter 3)

"So guys, did you find anything?" Castle asked

He noticed that Esposito was glaring at him and he stood awfully close.

"No, nothing on Jamal yet" Ryan said

Castle nodded while at the same time taking a step away from Esposito who had his eyes still fixed on him.

"Umm… Espo? If you´re going to keep staring at me like that, I´m gonna start charging you for money" Castle said with a chuckle.

Ryan gave Esposito a slap in the back and by that Esposito was taken aback from his thoughts.

"Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking" Esposito said

Ryan started to laugh giving Esposito another slap in the back.

"You thinking, that´s a first" Ryan said. He was now trying to hold back tears as he was laughing so hard.

"Shut up" Esposito said.

The three men stood there laughing for a while until Mark came up to them. He looked so serious and showed no sign of laughing with them.

"Did you find anything?" He asked

"Not yet" Ryan answered

"Well, I guess you better keep looking for leads then, instead of standing here and doing nothing!" Mark exclaimed before walking away.

"Dude, I take it back. I don´t like him" Esposito said

"Guys, I know that it was rude for him to say that, but give him a chance, he´s a nice guy" Castle said almost sounding defensive.

Ryan and Esposito was stunned by his tone.

"Fine… "Ryan and Esposito said in unison before walking off and getting back to work.

After the two detectives were gone, Castle let out a sigh. He knew exactly why Mark said those things and if they switched places he would have said the same thing.

Flash forward

Beckett and Castle found out that Amir had visited a sight close to the warehouse where he was found dead. Both immediately knew that it couldn´t have been a coincidence therefore decided to go check it out.

Close to the area where several containers stood was a white van. It was creepy looking, like one of those vans you would find in horror movies. There was something off about it. Beckett and Castle made their way towards it and saw that the driver´s seat was empty and then they went to the back, opening the surprisingly unlocked backdoor. They both gasped in horror when they saw what was inside. By the moment they saw it they knew that they had found the bomb.

Castle found himself frozen where he stood, he couldn´t move. It was as if someone glued his feet to the ground. He shut his eyes telling himself to calm down. At the same time Beckett was taking her phone out, her hands were already shaking by then. She was about to call the precinct but then bullets started flying towards them. The bullets kept coming and Beckett took out her gun and fired back. There were two men shooting at them. She tried her best to shoot back but knew that she had to get Castle and her from the line of fire. Beckett and Castle started running towards a container nearby; they leaned against the side of it trying to get some protection from the hail of bullets coming their way. The two men got closer and closer and so did their bullets.

Castle looked at Kate knowing that if this keeps going she would eventually run out of bullets and that pretty much means their sitting ducks. He saw a small opening in one of the containers and realized that it was open. He tugged on Beckett´s jacket and she then saw it too. They ran to the container trying their best to stay low and obviously not get shot. They stepped inside and closed the two metal doors together and then the next thing they knew was that they were now trapped.
