Author's Note: I really appreciate all the reviews! Thanks!
"Detective Beckett!" The captain shouted across the bullpen.
"Yes, sir." The gorgeous, brunette answered.
"My office, Now."
The tall, feminine detective strode over to her boss's office; power permeating the area with every step.
"Take a seat, Detective." She waited for her employee to sit,"The board made adjustments to the maximum number to a team of detectives. It was four now it's five. I understand that you are the only squad without five. So, I'm bringing in a very qualified individual who was directed to my attention by the Director of the C.I.A., himself."
"With all do respect. My team and I can handle the job, just fine."
"I know. But policy is policy and I have to follow it." The 50 year-old, black woman stated. "He'll be here tomorrow afternoon."
Beckett huffed and stood,"I'll tell my team, then."
Captain Victoria Gates nodded and waved her hand towards the door.
Beckett walked out of the office and motioned for her partners to follow her to the break room. Detectives Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan got the signal and started their pursuit towards their destination. While Beckett walked past her desk running her hand over her partner's neck; brushing past the short, silky hairs gently. Richard Castle then stood from his chair that was situated next to her desk and followed her to the break room.
Castle, in his black, clean-cut blazer and designer jeans with a dark blue button-up which brought out the blueness of his soft, caring eyes; shut the door quietly. He then gazed into the beautiful, green eyes of his partner, and fiancée, with a questionable look.
"Yo, Beckett. What did Gates want?" Esposito inquired in a hushed tone.
"Is she firing me? Because raising a baby in New York City without an income, is not an option?" Ryan said with a worried look on his face.
"No, she isn't firing anyone. We might actually be hiring." She said with a sigh.
"Why would she be hiring anyone? We have the highest case closure rate in the state of New York!" Esposito exclaimed.
"Javi, calm down. I know. She said that the board of deputies changed their policy of having four people on each squad. It has to be…"
"Five." Castle said finishing her sentence.
"Apparently, he is an ex-C.I.A. agent. So… he'll have a hint of smart ass in him." Beckett continued.
Esposito sighed.
"When will the he be here?" Ryan asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"Well I am going to go tell Lanie, that she will have some new gossip tomorrow." Esposito said opening the door.
"Javi, Give me a ride home?" Ryan asked walking towards the door.
"Yea, sure. Let's go."
"Have a good night!" Castle yelled after them.
Turning towards the love of his life,"You ready to get out of here? Seems like we have a big day tomorrow?" Putting his hands on her hips and pulling her against him. Slowly leaning his lips down towards hers.
She held her hand up, stopping his lips just before they touched. She then pushed him back, saying,"Castle!", blushing,"Not in the precinct! Come on let's go home and finish what you started."
