Outside of the twelve precinct

9:45 pm

Richard Castle was lost in thought, he couldn't understand, what he had done wrong. He had returned from the Hampton. He thought Detective Kate Beckett, was still with Robbery Detective Tom Demming. Cause after he left, she was still dating the handsome detective. Everyone was treating him, like he had done something wrong. He had asked her, to come with him for the Labor Day weekend. But she had told him a lie, that all of her vacations days, had been uses up. But then Demming, had let it slip that they were going away for the Memorial Day weekend. He was hurt, he had used his second ex wife Gina. So that he could save his pride.

Now he was being treated like the bad guy. She was the one, who told him a complete lie. But he should have, seen it. But he was, so blind by his own feelings. He shouldn't have, bother to ask her in the first place. He wasn't sure, where he stood with everyone else. He then turned on his heels, walked away. It was time to admit defeat and walk away for good. He looked over his shoulder, but he don't turn back. He just kept walking away, with his head held high. He wasn't sure, what his next move was going to be. But he was going, leave for while and do some deep thinking. He really needed a break from his home, his writing, the loft and the precint.

Castle Loft

11:30 pm

He was sitting on his bed, his mind was racing, after everything that had happened. Some times, you have to take time for yourself. He was running, both of his hands had run through his hair. His bright blue eyes; he was staring at the wall for almost two hours. Getting up heading to the bathroom, he undressed and started up the shower. He was washing himself up. He was going, over everything inside his mind. Sure, he hadn't made some good decisions in his life. But then again, everyone makes mistakes. Just learning from them. After the shower, he got into his pajamas and pulled the covers back and got into bed.

Early the next morning

8:30 am

Rick had awakening an hour earlier, he slowly got out of bed. He made his way, around to the closet and was getting out a suitcase. He started to pack up, it don't take him very long. He was going to have a quick cup of coffee. Then he drinks, his mother see him and asked him. "Are you going, somewhere? Darling?!" He was surprised to see her, up so early. "I'm going to be, gone for about a month. I'm going away, to clear my head for a while. I promise, that I'll call you as soon as I can." His mother, already knew the real reason, that he was leaving from home. She was really hoping, that everything was going to work out between Kate and him.

He gives her a very tight hug, he kisses her cheek, she kisses his cheek too. "Good luck, kiddo. Come back home, when you are ready. Alexis and I we be here waiting for you." He nodded at her, he went down to the garage and chose an SUV. He puts all of his stuff, inside the backseat. He puts on his seatbelt, he looks at his phone, no text messages and no calls either. Not that he was expecting, any of them to call him. After all they, thought everything was his fault. Sure, he had made mistakes, but he had thought he was apart of team. I guess not anymore and he most look ahead to the future. He had pulled out, of the building and don't look back.

Back at the 12 th Precinct

12:35 pm

Kate Beckett and her team, were looking at the murder board. Everyone was going, over everything and ever piece of Evidence they had. But they aren't any closer, to finding a suspect or anymore clues. She was still looking at the clock, but what was she waiting on. Was it for something to happen or was she waiting for someone. She just wished, that she know the answer. Esposito was making some important calls, Ryan was looking through, all of the paperwork. But so far, their was nothing, she was trying to drink her coffee. But it did, nothing for her. Coffee don't taste very good, it hasn't tasted the same to her anymore.

She had been hoping in the back of her mind, thought Castle would be here. But he hadn't called, texts or don't come inside last night either. He should have, been here already and still nothing. Maybe him and his ex wife, were out to lunch and why should she care at all. After all he had broken her heart, chosen his ex wife over her. She was going to go away with him. But he had already, had someone else take her spot. So, it was none of her business. She was getting her computer back up, it wasn't working too good today. But after waiting for it, to restart and reboot. It was starting to work all over again. She was looking at her computer screen and nothing else.

8:55 pm

Kate then look at the chair by her desk, she saw it was empty, Castle still hadn't come the whole day. She should have called him, but if he doesn't show up, the next day then I'll worry. But maybe, she was over thinking everything over again. Come on, she tells herself, maybe he had book meetings all day long and couldn't get away. She finally got up from her desk, she grabs her coat and purse off her desk. She goes over to the elevator and gets on it. She hits the button and hits button for the down floor to the lobby. Goes outside and gets herself a taxi. She gets dropped off, getting herself something to eat. Then heads home to her apartment. She should have, known after tonight nothing would ever be the same.
