Chapter 7
"Start spreading the news, I'm leaving toady"
"I want to be part of it, New York, New York"
The shuffling of feet could be hard on the tiled flooring. At the early time of seven thirty AM Rick Castle busied himself in his and a recently moved in Kate's kitchen, The alluring smell of frying bacon and pancake mix filled the air. The lush scent of freshening brewed coffee only added to the aromas.
The Kitchen was huge like everything else in the house. Coloured by earth tones and dark woods accentuated by stainless steel appliances and every kind of kitchen gadget and single man at the time of purchase could think of. Light brown marble counter tops finished the motif to perfection, Slowly dancing to the ageless tune at the stainless steel eight burner hob and skillet Rick spun to the music.
"These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray"
"Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York.
Dressed in his PJ's having woken up beside a beautiful brunette. He decided to get an early start on breakfast, He knew from experience that Kate firstly could not function first without Coffee, Secondly had never refused his pancakes and bacon.
As the classic tune from Ole' Blue Eyes himself finished. He turned off the burners and turned to the coffee machine, Making Kate's morning cup two pumps sugar free vanilla.
Why?, Because he loved to see her smile.
The Master Bedroom located on the second floor, The decor lush, warming and oh so inviting. In the super king sized bed, Currently snuggled down on the soft mattress and covers was Special Agent Kate Beckett. She rolled onto her back from her position stretching like a cat her muscles protesting before relaxing, Her eyes still closed she swung an arm expecting to find the warm muscled body of her lover.
But was met only by cold sheets.
Peeking open a single hazel eye. Finding his side of the bed empty she sighed and threw back the covers, Swinging her legs over the edge of the bed she stood, Muscle protesting once again and paddibg across the hard wood floor of the bedroom towards the on-suite. After running and brush through her unruly locks and brushing her teeth, She walked out not before grabbing a cherry red button down shirt from a chair and pulling it on leaving the endless creamy skin of her legs exposed.
As she descended the stairs her senses were assaulted by the smell of Pancakes, Bacon and Coffee, Rounding the corner and padding through the dining room she reached the entrance to the Kitchen. She smiled at what she saw. Castle his back to her was just plating up breakfast as the clock struck eight AM, So focused on his task he didn't notice her standing their.
"Hey Lover" Said Kate smoothly as she stepped into the Kitchen and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind laying her head between his shoulder blades.
Castle smiled placing a hand over one of hers at his waist "Hey" He said happily "I was just coming to get you"
"Well the wonderful scents travelling upstairs and the beds cold without my pillow" Kate said sleepily as Castle turned in her embrace her chin now resting on his chest.
Cupping one cheek and running the pad of his thump under her left eye "Sorry about that, Your pillow had to make breakfast"
Kate laughed "How can i ever repay you Special Agent Castle?" She asked teasingly moving her lips closer to his.
Castle placed a finger under her chin guiding her to him "You already have" he whispered "Good Morning" His lips now on hers in a soft kiss.
Kate sunk into the Good Morning kiss. Her favourite kind, She ran her tongue along his bottom lips demanding entrance. Which Castle gladly provided for several minutes until the need for oxygen broke there connection. Kate tightened her arms around him and burrowed into his chest.
"Good Morning to you too" She sighed
Castle reached over pushing a fresh cup of coffee under her nose. The alluring scent gaining her attention very quickly, As she slid her slender fingers around her favourite blue mug and took a long sip. Moaning in satisfaction as the warming liquid travelling down her throat, She stepped out of her Love's embrace and grabbed a plate taking a seat at the Kitchen Island. Castle soon joined her as they settled into a comfortable silence enjoying a hearty breakfast, Before they both headed upstairs stepping into the master bedroom.
Castle leaned against the wall by the en-suite door his arms folded. His head cocked to the side as he watched with an intense gaze as Kate removed his red shirt from her body, His eyes catching sight of pert and toned rear end in baby blue boy shorts.
"I know your staring at my ass Rick" Kate's voice muffled as she pulled the shirt over her head and throwing it on the bed.
Busted
Castle just smirked "I have no idea what you are talking about, Special Agent Beckett" He announced raising one finger "I will have you know, I am a man of honour and would never commit such a heinous action"
Kate rolled her eyes as she passed him at the door "Well then as such a man of honour, That means you wouldn't be interested in conserving water with me then" She asked knowing the huge shower enclosure in the en-suite was large enough for five people let alone just two.
Castle backtracked "No...I mean...Well...Let's not be hasty"
Kate laughed before walking into the bathroom and closing the door. Right in Castle's face much to his disappointment, That was until the door opened and a slender arm and hand grabbed his and yanked him into the bathroom his mood suddenly improved.
An hour later the partners descended the stairs after enjoying a lengthy and passionate shower, Each dressed and ready to leave for work. Kate in black jeans, Heeled boots and a blue shirt covered by a brown leather jacket. Her service weapon and badge clipped to a thick belt around her waist.
Castle in dark wash jeans, Boots and a grey long-sleeved t-shirt pulled up his forearms, His service weapon clipped to his belt his badge around his neck on a chain. As Kate poured hot coffee into a travel mug one for her and another for Castle. The latter's phone chimed alerting them both to an incoming text message.
It was Esposito
Alert from the Director, We've got a situation get here ASAP
"Good thing you got that coffee to go" Castle said accepting his travel mug "There's a situation, Director wants us in as soon as"
Kate raised an eyebrow "Any idea's why?"
"Your guess is as good as mine" Replied Castle grabbing his keys from the counter "Ready?" He asked
"Yeah, Let's go" Said Kate snatching the keys from his grasp.
"What is it with you and your lack of sharing when it comes to driving my car" Shouted Castle as they ented the multi car garage in the basement level of the house.
"I have no idea what your talking about" Kate feigned ignorance as she ignored his comment completely.
Castle just shook his head as they climbed into the black Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Kate from the driver seat started the engine the V8 growl filling the garage, As the door opened Kate skillfully drove out and up the driveway.
Soon they turned onto the New York streets. Castle threw on the running lights, Red and Blue's as they raced towards the FBF and Headquarters.
Twenty minutes later the pair arrived at HQ. They passed through gate security and raced towards the terminal building, Skidding to a stop they jumped out and ran inside. Entering the elevator and ascending to the third floor
The War Room
It was of a Hive of activity. Everyone was running around the noise level substantial, The partners caught sight of Esposito and Ryan standing with the Director on the podium.
"Agents Castle and Beckett, A moment if you please"
As they approached Kate spoke up "Sir, What's the situation?"
Director Gates looked ahead as Cora brought up images on the main screen. Soon image of what looked like a war zone appeared, An amoured car was partially on fire and on it's side having flipped off the main road. Other police cars were on fire littered the road, Bodies were strewn everywhere State Troopers dead.
"What is this Director?" Asked Castle
Gates sighed "This is a convoy that left Maryland Country jail this morning, On board the detainees from the raid on the NSA. After Hastings and LT applied the Reduction cuffs we authorised State Police to transport them here. However at 06:00am this morning the convoy was attacked. No recorded survivors"
Castle narrowed his eyes, Spike was loose again "Any idea's on who did this?"
Gates shook her head "No, But we have even bigger problems" Gates tapped a button on the console in front of her, The main screen quickly turned black as plain white letters appeared it read.
Better luck next time, Chumps!
"But Sir, What does this mean" Asked Kate raising a hand to the screen.
Gates looked at each of them "It means that the Augment List is still out there" Said Gates grimly "Now that list is about to fall into the wrong hands and there's not a thing we can do about it"
The team looked towards the main screen still displaying the message, A list containing the names and addresses of every Augment ever created was in the open, They had no idea where it was now.
"I think we need to get to work" Murmured Castle
Esposito clapped him on the shoulder as they all walked off the podium. The foursome marched towards a nearby conference room, Inside it contained a table touchscreen computer and enough coffee to last for days.
Time to get some answers.
