Ryan moved the hook until Castle was placed softly on the floor. The writer kept lying while Beckett cut the ropes with a jackknife. Rick sighed with relief when felt his arms and legs free again. He made a snow angel like children do, while the detective kept her knife in a pocket of her bulletproof vest. Then she observed him seriously from down to top and touched his forehead near the hit with the fire extinguisher. Espo and Ryan carried Tyson and her girlfriend outside leaving them alone.

"Hey!" he said.

She stared his face. Castle could see in his big eyes, almost no makeup today, all the emotions inside Kate. He could see in her dark circles all her pain and tiredness she had suffered. He could see all her rage in how she kept her eye wide opened. Rick noticed how her eyes were getting wet.

"All is over, Kate." The writer said smiling at her.

Then she could no longer contain her feelings, frowned and threw herself to his neck. Castle sat up and hugged her. And Kate finally cried, cried the pain she had suffered and the happiness she felt now.

She did not care about the smell of urine and vomit, she did not care their wedding had gone to hell. Now she just wanted to hug him strongly, until they could not breathe.

Kate relaxed her embrace and looked at his face again. He had a bump on his head, near the little scar on his forehead, some nicks and cuts, his white wedding bloodstained shirt. He was dirty, sweaty, made a mess.

And she kissed him like she never had done before, she caressed his head with her fingers. His mouth was sweet, Kate licked deeply and Castle moaned when she touched a wound.

"Sorry" she said

"Mmmmmmh" Rick said pushing his lips to continue the 'torture'.

"Ok..." Kate moved her head back to stop kissing "C'mon Castle, you should go to see a doctor".

The writer looked at his crotch. The detective followed his eyes and both viewed how 'Castle's tower' joined to the party. Beckett could not do anything but laugh.

"Be comprehensive... 'he' was waiting an epic wedding night" Rick said.

"Well, no fatal injuries down there, but the bump on your forehead need a check"

"Oh! Yes! Oh! You must hear it, Beckett, it has been awesome, I was about to get away..."

Kate shook her head, laughed and kissed him again.

Their private moment was interrupted with some noises that came from outside. They heard voices yelling and then several shots. Kate, horrified, looked at Castle who made a movement with his head towards a corner.

Beckett helped him to move and they both hid behind a control panel. She drew her gun and kept besides Rick protecting him. They remained silent with their breathing as the only sound in the background. The writer stared at his muse: so serious, so professional.

"I knew Tyson could not confuse you. Not you, Kate." Rick whispered.

Beckett glanced him and kept her gun in Weaver position.

"He did it." She said holding back her tears.

"What?" he asked surprised.

"He cheated us. All of us. We... we buried you." Kate said with voice cracking.

"Then... How did you find me?"

She was silent and lost in thought a few seconds, as if she was trying to gather the necessary forces she had lost with all this horrible affair.

"The fire in our reserved rooftop venue was extrange. The NYFD found an unusual kind of accelerant here and inside your Mercedes too. It proved to be a accelerant used in slaughterhouses, for burning bone remains." Beckett explained.

"Mmmh... You're so clever!" Castle whispered. He smiled to her, but Kate frowned.

"It was not me. It was Gates."

The writer surprised. Kate talked:

"She was the only one with enough strength and serenity to follow the clues..." She kept quiet for a moment "We couln't. I... I couldn't... I was..."

Beckett could not talk more because of emotion. Castle caressed her shoulder to calm her.

"This was not your battle. You have to let them 'play' too, Kate."

The smile in Castle's face filled Kate's heart with the warmth and serenity she ned now.

The emergency exit door opened suddenly. Kate turned on herself and pointed her gun to the door. She relaxed when saw Esposito enter.

"What happened, Espo?" she asked

The detective calmed his breathing before answer.

"They run away."

"How?" - Both Rick and Kate asked at once.

"His girlfriend-doctor was hiding a weapon. They had gone in a patrol car."

They all felt disappointed with the situation. However Kate caressed Ricks's arm and looked at his eyes with relief because the most important thing now was that he was alive.

"Well, they'll not get far." She said aloud.
