Chapter 6

In an abandoned building owned by Byron Enterprise

Kate woke up with a headache. Her face and her entire body felt bruised. Her badge, phone, gun and everything was gone accept her clothes. She remembered being kidnapped by 3 people and being beaten by them but she didn't know how she got here. The drugs right! She told herself. She was in a dark room with no windows and everything was concrete. She had lost a lot of hope of getting out but then she saw castle. He always knew how to cheer her up. She decided to wake him up and ask if he knew what was going on.

"Castle… Castle wake up. We need to find a way out of here."

Rick opened his eyes slowly and his face turned confused when he realized he didn't know where he was.

"Where are we and what is happening?" The writer asked looking scared and confused.

"I don't know Rick but we need to get out of here before our attackers come back."

They started looking for anything that could help them get out but there was absolutely nothing in the room. Kate started to panic.

"CASTLE WE CAN'T GET OUT OF HERE. WE WILL DIE IN HERE! What are we going to do?" She wiped a tear that had escaped her eye.

Rick couldn't stand seeing his wife like this. She looked beside herself and out of control. He wanted to take the pain she was feeling away.

He told her in a reassuring voice: "Remember what I said before? In situations like this, I feel it is important to have faith. We will be able to get out of this alive and we will catch the people who did this to us."

They were both sore from the beating but they stayed in each other's arms, not letting go. Beckett had calmed down and started to think of a plan.

"Alright, they must come back sometime, when they do, I will wait beside the door and try to knock him out. Hopefully only one of them will be there. Are you good with our plan?"

"Kate, what if he is too strong for you?"

"I…" Beckett paused rethinking her plan. "I just hope he wont be."

"No Beckett," He had a concerned look in his eyes "I won't let you take that chance. You are already weak from getting beat up and I hate seeing you hurt. It breaks me more then getting hit myself. Let me try and fight him."

"No Castle! I am the cop. You are the civilian so I need to protect you. I just really want to get out of here!"

When they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Beckett ran to the door even though Richard tried to stop her. He knew he couldn't stop her when she had her mind set so he waited as the door opened. When it did, no one came in. There was only a plate sliding in with some food. Beckett looked very confused. She went down, picked up the plate and brought it to where her husband was standing. There was rice on the plate. Lots of rice. They were confused but starving so they dug into the rice together.

"This rice is amazing!" Exclaimed Castle.

"Yes it's so good!"

They cleaned off everything on their plate and realized it was really late. The couple was lying on the ground trying to get comfortable. They were in each other's arms.

Beckett was very scared and shaking in the writers arm. He hugged her tighter and gave her kisses on the head trying to reassure her. Feeling the tight embrace of her husband, the detective began to calm down. She turned to face him and snuggled her head into his neck. She then told him.

"Thank you for being there for me Rick. We have been lucky before but how will we get out of this one?"

"Think about it Kate. Espo and Ryan are probably looking for us and they will find us soon. They are smart guys and they will get us out just like they always do."

"Thanks Rick. You always know how to make me feel better."

"Always."

They kissed each other. It was the only thing that felt good in this particular situation. They were too tired and ended up falling asleep.
