Disclaimer: still don't own it

A/N: okay so that last chapter wasn't really anything except for Beckett's thoughts. So let's try this again.

"Sorry sweetheart, I'd rather make front page."

Trapper John, the head of the robbery, might put a bullet through Rick's head, but she can't let that happen. Kate got up just as fast as she answered his call. Gates looked out of her office watching the detective.

"Detective Beckett, where are you going?"

"There is a bank robbery, Sir."

Kate knew that Gates would be upset with letting her go. Robbery wasn't their thing, theirs was murder. And unless someone in there dies, Gates won't let them go.

"Has anyone died in that bank yet?"

'Here we go,' thought Kate.

"No, Sir. But Castle is in there, and he's my partner. I don't care if he's not a cop but he's still my partner."

Kate knew that she would feel the wrath of the Iron Gates now.

"Well then, what the hell are you still doing standing here? Go save your partner."

Still in shock, Kate almost forgot to tell Ryan and Esposito where she was going.

"Ryan, Esposito! Let's go save Castle."

They were at their feet and running to the elevator just as she got on.

"You 'ight Beck?"

Javier was always the tough big brother she never had.

"I can't lose him. Not after everything that we've been through. I can't go back to that hospital. Not for him, not for anyone."

She was going to lose it now. If she keeps talking she's just going to have a breakdown right here with the boys.

"Hey, Kate, he's going to be okay. I mean its Castle; he survived a bomb and everything in the cemetery. And if he can survive those three months after the cemetery, then he can survive anything. Because you're his life-line Kate, and he can't live without you. So you need to be strong, you need to be strong for him."

And with that, the three detectives just stood there in the elevator, with their arms around each other in a hug. And as if Kate's life wasn't bad enough. The elevator had stopped, and they were stuck in there. While Rick was stuck out there.

A/N: I hope this chapter is better than the last
