I havnt felt like writing very much lately but a little here and a little there and i got this. I hope you all like it. I should be updating again soon.


They were just finishing up at the apartment when Castle's phone rang. He looked at the caller I.D. and his face lit up.

"Hello." He listened and his brow furrowed. "Was that today?" He asked looking at his watch. "I'm so sorry. I completely spaced. I will be there as soon as I can." He was pacing now. Kate was looking at him, confused with the tone of his voice. "Love you too." He said and put his phone back into his pocket.

Kate shot him a questioning look.

"Alexis, her thing, I have to go." That was all he said before darting off to hail a cab.

"Go where, I'll drive you?" Kate asked just as Ziva asked who Alexis was.

"Alexis is my daughter and you don't have to do that." He said answering both questions. Something in Kate stirred at the fact that he answered her question first.

Then a cab pulled up and Castle opened the door.

"It was great to meet you guys. I'll see you all later." He said before jumping in and closing the door.

….

"I didn't realize Rick was married with a daughter." Tony said after the cab pulled away.

"He is not married." Both girls said in unison. Ziva was acting different then he was used to seeing her. Maybe it was because this guy was famous and, though tony wouldn't say this out loud, but the author was hansom.

"So what do we do now?" Tony asked. Kate ran a hand through her beautiful hair and let out a puff of air.

"Now we go back to the precinct. Hopefully they got more than we did." They had searched the apartment and found nothing. Then they had gone door to door to the neighbors asking about the Vic.

The ride back to the precinct was nice. Tony got to admire both girls without either of them admiring the author. Gibbs and McGee were in the break room with the two detectives.

"What you drinking?" Tony asked McGee.

"They have a cappuccino machine here. I think we should invest in one." He said with a smile before taking a sip.

"Yeah, Castle bought it when he first started shadowing me." Kate said making herself a cup. Tony waited until she was done and did the same. It was delicious.

"So, did you guys find anything?" Tony asked.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Duck is working with Lanie. As soon as they find something we will know." Gibbs said setting his cup down. "If you don't mind I think we will be off to the hotel now."

"Oh, yeah, sure. Get some rest. We'll question friends and family tomorrow."

They arrived at the hotel to find that it was much nicer then what they were used to.

"Are you sure this is the place boss?" McGee asked as they made their way to the check-in desk.

"Apparently Mr. Castle pitched in to get us someplace nice to stay." Gibbs gave the man at the desk their information. Tony hated to admit it but that was nice of the author. He wanted to be able to dislike the man for attracting both women on their little team, but that wasn't a crime. As far as Tony could tell the author was a nice guy and really good at his job. First thing once he got to his room he was going to read. But then he heard something he really wished he hadn't.

"Did you just say three rooms?" He asked the guy behind the desk.

"Yes, two rooms with two beds and one room with one bed. Will that be acceptable?"

"It's fine. Thanks." Gibbs said before leading them all away.

"Does this mean I have to share a room with him?" Tony and McGee asked at the same time. Gibbs raised an eyebrow then looked at Ziva.

"I'm sorry but I think because I am the only girl I should get the single room." Ziva said.

"She's got a point." Gibbs said before handing her a key card. He then handed them theirs. "You're lucky we aren't all sharing a room." Gibbs said and they all headed for the elevator.

Gibbs headed in one direction while Tony and the others went another direction. Ziva found her door and they found theirs, right next to hers.

"Looks like we'll be neighbors." Tony said with a smile.

"Goodnight Tony." She said and opened the door. "Goodnight McGee."

"Night." Tony said before her door closed. Their room was great. Two large queen sized beds, a flat screen TV, a Jacuzzi tub in a good sized bathroom, and a small kitchenette. McGee sat his bag down on the bed by the window and then turned to leave.

"Where you headed Probie?" Tony asked.

"Going out for drinks with Esposito and Ryan. Do you wanna come?"

"Will Kate be there?" He asked.

"I don't think so." McGee raised an eyebrow.

"Then I think I'll stay here." With that, Tony was alone. He settled down with his book and in just a few pages he knew what McGee and Ziva had been teasing about all day. He was definitely going to see Kate differently tomorrow.


Review please. I know it doesnt cover a lot but there should be more soon.
