Chapter 4

Beckett Pov.

I was the first one up this morning. I realized that I was not in my room but in the living room on the couch with Mia. I got up and walked into the kitchen area. I made coffee then hopped into the shower before Jacob and Mia wake up. When I got out I got dressed in the bathroom because I didn't know if Jake was still asleep but it was only 6:00 and school didn't start until 7:45 so I let him sleep. I got into the kitchen and I saw Mia sitting at the island drinking coffee.

" Hey what are you doing up so early you don't have school until 7:45."

" Yeah I know its just that I have to be the first one up so I can make breakfast for Jacob then wake him up so when he gets done and ready for school we walk because my mom and Dave are never home so we walk at 6:40 because it was 3 mile walk." She told me while finishing her coffee.

"Is Jake up yet?"

"No he was still asleep when I came out of the shower." I told her

"Okay well I'm gonna go wake up him up so we can get to school on time." She explained getting up and walking into my room.

When her and Jake came back I said" I can take you guys to school on my way to work."

" Ummm... it's fine we can walk, we don't want to make you late for work because you gave us a ride to school." Mia explained to me

" no its fine plus theirs still a killer out there and could be coming after you guys next." then nodded After Jake got done eating we went down to my car. When we got out side, I saw Kyle leaning against my car.

" Kyle what are you doing here?"

" I came here to ask you again about taking Mia and Jake with me to stay." He said pushing off my car.

" Like I told you yesterday they have to stay with protected detail until the case is over."

" But they should be with family." he snapped

i could feel Mia tense up behind me. I looked at her and she had a scared look on her face like I was going to let him take them.

" i understand that but there is still a killer on the lose and could be after them next." I said starting to get frustrated with him

" then why are they with you?"

" Because this is my case and I can keep them save. Now I have to get them to school so I can solve this case." I said walking passed him with the kids.

Jake was walking in front of me and Mia walked passed Kyle he grabbed her arm. I felt someone grab my wrist . I looked to see that Kyle has a death grip on Mia's arm

" Let go off me Kyle your hurting my arm." Mia said to him.

I looked at him with a death look. He lets go of her arm and says " We are not finish her."

After I pulled up to the school I told them" I will pick you up after school, so what time do you get out?" I asked

" We get out at 2:40." Mia told me

" Okay and if I'm not here then look for Det. Ryan, Det. Expostio, or Castle. Do you remember who they are?"

"yeah" they said at the same time

" Kay don't go with anyone other than myself, Castle, Ryan or Exposito because he might try come after you guys at school okay."

" Okay bye" they said

i waved bye then pulled off from the curb.

When I got the precinct Castle was talking to Exposito and Ryan.

" Hey guys anything new yet." I asked them

" Forensic came back on the prints on the door their are five out of the four people that live in the house." Ryan explained

" Who is the fifth finger print then?" I asked
