Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.
Everything has changed so much within the 2 minutes since Alexis found Kate and they got out. They were no longer held captive and forced to fight for their lives, they would no longer be kept in a dark room, they would get clean clothes and be fed proper meals. Everything was going to change for them and they were both as equally terrified.
"Are you guys okay back there ?" Kate asked from the front of her cruiser, the siren was on and she was driving as fast as possible but as safely as possible.
Alexis' and Tim's heads were spinning for 2 weeks all they've known is the dark walls of their room and now the too bright sun is shining on them and it is burning their eyes but neither of them speak up. They look out the window, they look at Kate then they look at each other and the keep repeating this patter. At some point they catch each others eyes for longer then before and Tim and Alexis subtly linking their pinkie fingers together.
Kate looks in her rear view mirror at the two of them her eyebrows frowning in concern.
"You know we've all been worried sick about you Alexis, no one has stopped looking for you and your dad has been a wreck, he has barely slept a wink." Beckett paused in her speech to look back at Alexis again but was shocked to find that she was confused.
"Alexis do you know who your dad is ? Do you remember anything ?" Kate asked, tears coming to her eyes.
Alexis thought for a few seconds before looking at Tim and seeing the reassurance in his eyes gave her courage and she turned back to Detective Beckett and gently shook her head no. Beckett let out a gasp.
Beckett slowly pulled into the garage of the 12th precinct and quickly ushered Alexis and Tim into the elevator and pressing the button to the homicide floor. She rubbed her hand across her forehead. This was going to hurt Rick, his own child didn't even know who he was.
Alexis slowly stepped into Tim, Tim was her rock and Tim always kept her safe. It was weird between them but not a bad weird. Within the weeks they had been taken and discovered something wasn't right they had shared so many secrets and hopes and dreams and they have become best of friends that Alexis trusts him with anything including her life.
Alexis suddenly remembered a conversation her and Tim had after a fight discussing what they would hope to do when they get out of here, together of course, Alexis made it very clear wherever Tim goes she goes. She was telling him how she loved to sing and one day she wants to have they courage to sing to an actual audience.
Tim stood up and turned the radio on and grabbed Alexis' hand and pulled her up off of the floor where they had been sitting. Tim sat down on the bed and said "come on Alexis I'll be your audience, sing for me." He said encouragingly.
"But your the only person here that's kind of awkward." Alexis said shyly.
"Then imagine more people, maybe the people on your stomach what do you expect them to look like, imagine them here with us and we'll be your audience." Tim said.
Alexis listened to the radio and the song that was on, she had heard it a few times before on the radio and she didn't mind it. Alexis opened her mouth and began to sing.
Tim was left breathless because of her singing and he thought she had the voice of an angel. He voice made him love her just a little bit more.
When she was done he stood up from the bed and walked over to her clapping enthusiastically and she couldn't help a shy chuckle.
"You liked it ?" She asked looking up from when she had ducked her head and she caught sight of his glassy eyes and began to smile.
"Alexis, love doesn't even begin to cover of what I thought of it."
Alexis was brought out of the memory by a ding coming from the elevator and Detective Beckett stepped out first and the Tim and she followed closely behind Tim. There was a crowed of people around the elevator, no one she recognized but they all applauded and some were crying.
They stopped in front of a white board which had her name all over it but not Tim's. There was a tall man standing in front of her with blue eyes full of tears that were continuously leaking onto her cheeks.
Castle went to step forward but Alexis stepped towards Tim and Tim stepped forward crossing his arms and he paused the whole precinct going quiet.
Rick wiped at his eyes and quietly said "Alexis I'm so happy your kay." He tried to step forward again but was stopped but Tim again.
By this point Rick was getting angry an frustrated at not being aloud to talk to his daughter and said in a low tone "Let me speak to my daughter." Castle gently shoved Tim aside and this got Alexis angry and no one could see or predict what was going to happen next. Rick continued to walk towards her after Tim had shoved him, Tim went to try and protect Alexis and shove him back or make him stop moving towards her but he was too late Alexis was already on the move. Alexis had kicked the back of his legs and Castle was now on the floor and she had her scalpel on his throat. Everyone was stunned into silence and people went to move towards them.
Tim stood up and shouted "STOP !" And everyone did but just to look at him as he slowly approached Alexis.
"Alexis put it down." Tim said softly.
"No he hurt you." Alexis said through gritted teeth.
"Lexi I'm okay look at me." Tim said gesturing to himself and Alexis slowly turned her head. Tim looked back down at the man and softly said not wanting Alexis to be in trouble if she was to hurt this man "Identify yourself."
Rick looked to him and said confidently "Richard Castle, your father." Rick said looking Alexis straight in they eyes.
Alexis gasped and quickly got off of him and moved to stand towards Tim but not for long as soon as Castle was standing again Alexis was stood in front of him. Rick wanted to hug her so badly but wasn't sure it was safe so he took what she was giving that is until she started to poke and prod at his face and everyone started frowning at her like she was crazy.
"Timmy I don't see it do you ?" She asked him as she stood next to him and everyone's frowning got a little more pronounced as they continued to frown at them.
"I can, it;s the eyes." He said with a soft smile.
Alexis turned back to Rick and then Tim and they repeated this action a few times before she nodded and walked back to Tim. Everyone was staring at them and they began to get uncomfortable.
"Alexis how are you ?" Castle asked. Since seeing his daughter alive and well he hasn't taken his eyes off of her.
"Me and Tim are fine." She said.
Alexis looked around the room, turning in a full circle and didn't find what she was looking for.
"What are you looking for ?" Kate asked Alexis but she continued to turn around.
"Tim I can't see them." She said. Tim looked into her eyes as he realized what she was talking about.
Tim shrugged and said "That's okay."
"No it isn't." Alexis said crossing her arms disapprovingly.
Castle and Beckett exchanged a quick glance and turned to Alexis asking the question again "What are you looking for ?"
Somehow Alexis had a new form of courage that only lasted a minute but it was enough.
"Since you have found us all you guys have been going on about it me but what about Tim ? He was there , to and worse off then me and now his own parents aren't here. Did you guys even realize he was missing too ? Did you even call his parents ?" Alexis was angry, How anyone forget Tim like that !?
"Alexis its fine, I'm sure they tried everything."
Alexis and Tim looked at them and saw their guilty looks which said it all.
"We tried to call your parents we did Timothy, but there was no answer and we left a message and that was a couple of days ago." Beckett said going to take a step forward but Alexis blocked her path from Tim.
Tim put his hand on her shoulder and Alexis looked at him over her shoulder and he shook his head at her and she stepped aside.
"We can give you the address and have a couple of uniforms drop you off." Beckett said but before she could finish she noticed that Tim cringed and he looked towards Alexis, she was red faced and had tears in her eyes.
"Thank you miss but I'm going to have to say no to that offer you see me and Alexis..." Tim started to say but was cut off by Alexis.
"Wherever Tim goes I go, if her goes back to wherever I go. Its a two package deal." Alexis finished with tears gathering in her eyes and a few of them spilling over.
Beckett and Castle looked at each other and they both had the same thought.
We may have found them but the battle is far from over.
Alexis yawned and Castle turned to her and said "Come on I'll take you home Pumpkin." Alexis frowned and looked towards Tim and grabbed his hand like it was a lifeline.
Castle looked towards Tim and said "He can come to, come on you must be exhausted." He said and he slowly walked out of the room, with Alexis and Tim following and Beckett not far behind.
Alexis and Tim looked at each other and both of their eyes had the same message.
'You'll always have me."
