Chapter four;
When Robert walked in to the elevator Kate moved back to his desk just to avoid Castle a bit. She didn't need this right now, she needs to get her mind right and focus on the case. She stood for the murder board for a while. She sighed, why was it that this case indeed didn't feel right? She shaked her head and went to sit down on her chair. 'Just a normal case Kate' she reminded herself and started to stare at her computer screen.
And then the bank exploded, at first, Kate couldn't move at all. She just sat there, in shock. Then she realized what happened and got up, walked out of the van to see what was going on. The second thing that happened was Kate running into the bank, hopelessly screaming Castle's name. 'No He can't be dead. Not now.' She kept thinking. The third thing that happened was Kate hearing Castle saying her name. Just 'Beckett' but for that moment, it was enough. He waved at her, just a little wave, but for that moment, It was enough. Kate walked into the cell where they were put in, not minding the rest just walking for Castle. She released his hands, but neither moving. Just looking at each other. Ignoring all the people around them, Castle doesn't even help his mother when she is released and let some other cop do that. They stay that way for like a minute and then Castle moves to get his arms around Kate and pulls her into a hug.
''I thought I lost you, when the bank exploded and there a so much things I'd still like to say and..'' Kate started but Castle cut her off.
''Kate, let me have this moment. Please don't make things complicated.'' And Castle buried his face in her hair. Breathing in her scent to proof that he's still alive.
''Castle, I need to get this off my chest, because I've been lying.'' And Kate moved backwards so she could look Castle in the eye. Castle just nodded his head and pulled Kate closer again. ''I know, you remember'' me mumbled with his face in her hair again. Now Kate moved backwards again and stood up. ''Wait.. you know.. I didn't even tell you.'' Castle nodded his head and stood up too.
''You were not telling me very loudly. Kate I've known you for nearly four years now. Stop telling yourself that I don't. I saw it in your eyes.'' Castle moved a little closer to Kate but waited for Kate to say something. ''I'm sorry Castle..'' Kate said looking up to him. ''Kate, don't be. I would have done the same thing. I'm happy that you said it now. Well actually I said it.'' And the boyish grin appeared on his face. ''You're not mad?'' Kate asked him and still kept her distance because she instead of Castle needed to process this. This couldn't be happening, he wasn't supposed to know but then again she didn't have to lie to him in the first place.
''Kate..'' Castle began softly ''I'm not mad, like I said I would have done the same now please can we go back to the hugging part. I really like that'' Kate had to held back a laugh, only Castle could react this way and she was glad. It was so difficult to keep the lie going. Kate stepped closer and into his arms again. ''Me too'' she whispered against his chest and if she could choose she would stay like this forever.
''Beckett? …Beckett.. Kate?!'' Kate snapped out of her 'daydream' seeing Castle standing beside her with a grin on his face. ''Is it that boring Beckett?'' Kate shook her head and stood up to get coffee. The daydream seemed so real, she wanted it to be real. But in the real world, Castle still didn't know the truth and Kate still didn't know how to bring it to him. When she got coffee she walked back to her desk, sat down and turned her chair towards the murder board. She looked at what they have already which was not that much. They knew he had a boyfriend which they have not be able to reach yet.
''Yo Beckett'' Esposito said while walking to her desk ''Couldn't reach the boyfriend but I've got an address. You want us to go?'' and he held up a piece of paper. ''Uh no I'll go with Castle, thanks anyway.'' Kate stood up and grabbed her coat and the piece of paper ''Meanwhile you guys can figure out what he did in the hours before his dead.'' She turned her head to Castle who was busy on his phone. ''Castle, you coming.'' Castle looked up from his phone and stood up already. ''Yup'' he nodded his head and followed Kate to the elevator. They didn't say much to each other and you could see the struggle with Castle to keep silent and not force anything on Kate. She couldn't tell if Castle actually knows that she remembers , just as in her daydream, or doesn't know. Sometimes he was so easy to read and now he was giving nothing.
They arrived quickly at the boyfriend his house and Kate knocked at the door. Oliver Fogh himself didn't open the door but a girl did.
''Can I help you?'' She asked. ''Yes you can, is Oliver home?'' The girl raised her eyebrow and then nodded her head. ''Yes he's home, I'll get him.'' And the girl walked away from the door leaving it open. An attractive young boy returned in her place and introduced himself as Oliver. He invited them both in and they sat down on his coach.
''I'm detective Kate Beckett, NYPD and this is Richard Castle I'm here about your Jermy.'' Oliver rolled his eyes, Kate guessed Robert didn't contact Oliver, and replied with a hint of a joke in his voice ''Oh what did he do now?''
Castle looked from Oliver at Kate. ''Oliver, I'm sorry to tell but Jermy got murdered this morning.'' Kate said and Oliver's happy expression dropped from his face. He looked at his shoes now and the girl who was listening came to join them in the living and sat down on the coach next to Oliver and wrapped an arm around him. ''What happened?'' the girl asked instead of Oliver, he was clearly not able to talk and looked down at his feet. ''He got shot in the chest this morning while he was at work'' The girl only nodded her head and turned her attention to Oliver.
''No you must be mistaken, it was not Jermy'' he said in a whisper but kept looking at his shoes. ''It's not him no.. it's not him'' he said a little louder. ''Oliver..'' the girl started but Oliver cut her off ''No don't'' and then he looked up shaking his head. ''It's not him'' he said again.
''I'm afraid it is Oliver'' Castle said with a hushed voice. But Oliver just kept shaking his head ''No it's can't be I just talked to him this morning and everything was fine, I said goodbye and everything was fine. I saw him leaving and everything..'' Oliver just kept talking so Kate cut him off. ''Oliver, please your reaction is natural but you have to understand and I'm really sorry but Jermy was killed.'' Kate said to Oliver as mellow as possible. ''The heck you do, how can you even understand?'' Oliver almost shouted.
''Oliver'' Kate started and Oliver looked up to her again tears now streaming down his face, ''I need to ask you a few questions. You think you can handle that?'' and Oliver just nodded his head.
''Ok you said he was with you this morning before he went to work.'' Oliver nodded his head ''He was with you all night?'' Kate asked. ''He was here all week, inside the house and not going out and that was really weird for him because he loves to go out. He didn't even go to work.'' Oliver said with a voice like a robot. ''So he acted weird lately?'' Castle ask. The girl nodded her head and answered: ''Yeah, he was not himself I think but I don't know what was going on. He had a past with some drug dealers and Oliver and I were scared he might be in contact with them again so we asked him to stay here.'' The girl said. ''Yeah and he agreed to stay here he actually lived here almost all the time but before he agreed to stay for real he was gone all the time.'' Kate wrote something down and looked up again. ''Did you know where he went when he wasn't here.'' Castle asked. ''We don't know'' the girl said while she looked at Oliver and he nodded. ''I only know he want to work and where he was when he was not working he didn't mention'' Oliver finished.
Kate nodded her head again ''This may be a difficult question but I need to know your whereabouts at the time of the murder.'' Oliver nodded his head ''I understand, I was still in bed. My sister can verify that.'' The girl next to Oliver nodded her head ''He was not feeling very well so I made him breakfast and did some other things'' she said while she looked at Oliver. ''OK, thank you very much.'' Kate said while she took a card out of her jacket ''I'll leave my number call me if you notice anything strange.'' Oliver and his sister nodded their heads at the same time ''We will'' She answered and let Kate and Castle out.
''Very heavy, seeing such a young boy so broken'' Castle mentioned as they walked to her car. ''Yeah it is, such a shame.'' They stepped into the car and it was silent for a bit. ''I'm kind of hungry do you want to grab some lunch?'' Kate asked before she thought about what she actually said. ''Are you asking me out on a date detective?'' and Castle grinned. ''Castle are you serious.. ofcourse I'm not asking you out on a date'' Castle pretended to look like he was hurt, ''Ouch that hurts.'' And Kate laughed, ''Be a big boy Castle it's just lunch.''
''Just joking'' Castle said ''as always'' Kate added. And they both laughed ''Yes, let's grab some lunch Beckett'' And Kate smiled, this was going the right way.
