Season 4 - 4x16 (Linchpin)

Sophia points the black metal, shiny and menacing, toward the back of Castle's head.

Beckett rises from her kneeling position, desperate to save him. Fear overtakes her and she dives for him, pushing Castle out of the bullet's path.

The sharp, burning heat of metal tears through her side and she hisses in pain.

Another shot rings through the room before Sophia tumbles down behind her.

She pulls herself up but Castle's hand at her side stops her.

"You've been shot," he says, panicked.

"And you're okay," she lets out a ragged breath before covering his lips with her own.
