She rushed down to the murder victim, not in any mood to be at work. "What have we got?" She asked dryly.

"Female, stabbed through the heart."

Kate rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I know the feeling." She stood up and walked away, not being able to look at the metaphoric picture of her life any longer. She had to get to work and dive into some paperwork to forget about it all if only for a little.

She rushed into the precinct as she did the crime scene, not taking any time to greet her friends and colleagues. She stopped when she got to her desk, slamming the stack of papers hard. "What is this chair still doing here?" She pointed at it and made the first person she saw the latest victim of her rage.

Poor Ryan stood there with his hands in the air. "I don't know." He sounded scared, knowing what she was capable of.

"When I get back, this chair better be gone."

"Okay, Beckett." He said quickly, already shuffling over to store the chair out of her sight.

Espo sat down as Beckett stormed off towards the elevator. He propped his feet up on his desk and spoke to Ryan. "Well isn't she just a ray of sunshine today."

Ryan grabbed Castle's chair, but Espo stopped him, not knowing what she had asked of him. "What are you doing, bro?"

"Beckett wants it gone, like now." Ryan continued walking, not wanting to face the wrath of Beckett.

"That's not good." Espo shook his head.

"Nope."

Castle had crashed at Alexis' for the night, still unsure if it would be right to go home just yet. Everything still seemed fuzzy. And since Gina had told him to leave the hotel room, he had to find somewhere to go. Unfortunately, Meredith had invited herself to stay as well. As long as Alexis or her roommates were home, the peace between the exes was kept.

Meredith was sitting at the kitchen table when Castle walked. Show time. "Want some coffee?"

"No, I'm good." He hadn't been able to even look at it since he'd left the loft. He ruffled his hair, sitting down across from her.

"So." She put a twinkle in her eye. "I ran into Kate."

His head shot up. "Kate? My Kate?"

"My Kate?" Meredith's blood boiled as she rolled her eyes. "Oh dear, this is going to break your heart." She reached a hand across the table to his.

"What did she say?" He straightened.

Meredith reached into her pocket and pulled out the rings, placing them on the table. "She wanted me to give you these and told me to let you know that she's having divorce papers written up."

"Divorce papers?" He stood up, thinking he had misheard her.

"Guess you can't trust a girl that runs." Meredith murmured to the table.

Castle moved to the door quickly but was stopped by Meredith's voice. "She won't be there."

"But it's our home. Why wouldn't she be at the loft?"

"She's moving out." Meredith tried giving him a sorry look.

He let go of the doorknob, holding back tears. He walked back to the bedroom, shutting the door behind him, defeated.

Once she knew he was safe inside, she smiled to herself and poured another cup of coffee.
