"It's not crazy Castle. It actually makes perfect sense!" she exclaimed as she got up and grabbed her coat. "Let's go" she said, as she bit her bottom lip and headed towards the elevator.

"Where are we going?" he asked trailing along behind her.

"The morgue" she said matter of factly. As they got onto the elevator Rick still felt like an idiot even though she liked his theory.

"Kate, I… it isn't a stupid theory?" he asked. When has he ever been this self-conscious around her?

"No, it was a great theory! I could kiss you!" Castle slowly moved closer to her, his eyes never leaving her face.

"Why don't you?" he asked, a hint of sadness in his voice. Kate looked up at him.

"Because I'll want more." She said simply.

"So?" He asked as his hand brushed against hers. Kate took a few seconds to think about his 'so?'

She saw the intensity in his gaze. He really loves her doesn't he?

"Ah, what the hell." She said as she grabbed his face and kissed him soundly.

The kiss became more passionate with roaming tongues and touching fingers. As the elevator came to a stop they broke the kiss. "Holy shit" Beckett gasped as she straightened out her hair and clothing.

"Yeah" breathed Castle and he stood in awe. The doors opened and Beckett walked out into the parking garage. She looked back to see Castle standing there with his jaw dropped.

"Come on Castle, you can fantasize and reminisce in the car." Castle closed his mouth, swallowed and chased after her.

When they got into the elevator at the morgue they stood closer together. So close that Castle was flush up against her back. He pulled her hair to one side and started sucking and kissing her neck. "Rick I swear to god, if you give me a hickey I will shoot you." Castle stopped what he was doing and looked down at her neck.

"I… umm…" Castle backed up a little bit. Kate turned around and glared at him.

"Richard Castle, You are SO going to pay for this." The doors dinged and Castle ran out towards the doors to the morgue. Kate huffed and followed Castle down the hall, pulling her hair over that side of her neck. Rick waited outside the doors for her. She walked right by him punching his arm on the way past. They walked through the swinging doors to find Lanie sitting at her desk eating.

"Hey Lanie" Lanie turned around to find Castle rubbing his arm and Beckett playing with her hair.

"Hi… Are you two okay?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yes" "no" they said in unison. Kate turned and glared at Castle, as he changed his answer to "yes".

"Lanie, about the case, we were thinking that maybe it wasn't—"

"A murder?" finished Lanie. "After I got her clean I found linear cuts on her wrists. Also her tox screen showed large amounts of Acetaminophen, several times over the normal amount. There are no signs of a struggle." Kate paled.

"So um… she was a self harmer?" Kate couldn't take her eyes off the girl on the table. Lanie nodded,

"Yes. I found linear scars all over her body. On pretty much every inch of her legs and arms and quite a few more on her stomach and back."

"How could someone's life be that bad that they have to turn to cutting themselves and suicide?" asked Castle in shock. "Teenagers nowadays are just so screwed up."

"Hey!" Kate exclaimed. "Don't talk about our vic that way! She couldn't help it. It wasn't her fault. She just couldn't find a better way in time…" Castle was shocked at her outburst. He'd see Kate empathize and understand the victims but this? This was something different… maybe it had something to do with her-…. No it couldn't… could it?

"Kate I'm so sorry… I didn't mean—" Kate put up a hand to silence him.

"Thank you Lanie. I'll tell the boys about this tomorrow. Have a good night." She smiled weakly at her best friend. Kate turned around and scurried out of the room before either of her friends could speak. She was already in the elevator before Castle was even half way down the hall.

As the small enclosed space brought her to the parking garage she remembered all those nights as a child. She always had a bigger bed to crawl into when life got scary. As she got older that bigger bed became many beds of many different teenage boys but then sex just wasn't enough… the elevator dinged and the doors slide open. Kate rushed to her car and headed home.
