Previously: she looked at him and smiled and said "Hey Castle". He looked around the room and then back at Kate. Then he screamed….
… He leapt back in his bed scrambling to get as far away as possible from something. Kate didn't understand what was going on, she looked around and saw nothing that should cause Castle to scream like that. She watched as Esposito and Ryan ran up to Castle and held him down and then Lanie grabbed her arm and quickly tugged her out of the room.
"Why is he screaming?" she asked Lanie
"I'm not sure Kate but I'm afraid that he was looking at you when he screamed"
Kate gave Lanie a confused look as she settled down in one of the chairs that were in the corridor.

Castle tried to get as far away from Beckett as he possibly could, memories of the previous day flooding through his head. He struggled against Ryan and Esposito as Lanie lead Beckett out of the room. Only once the door closed behind Beckett did Castle let himself sink beck into his bed. He couldn't let himself believe what Beckett had done.

Ryan and Esposito watched Castle as he sank beck into his bed. "What the hell just happened there man?" they asked Castle the moment he had settled down.
"Beckett" was all Castle said
"What about her?" they said in unison
"She did this" he said gesturing to his wound.
Ryan and Esposito looked at each other. Could it really have been? A police gun being the murder weapon? Castle said that she did it? Beckett committed Murder? They couldn't rule it out.
They decided to phone the Captain to get his opinion. "Hello Captain, its Ryan and Esposito"
"Hello, how's Castle going?"
"He's going to make it. He's awake now actually."
"Well tell him I said hello. Anyway what's this call about?"
"Well let's explain what happened. Beckett was sitting next to Castle when he woke up and when he saw her he screamed and tried to get away from her. Lanie then took Beckett out of the room and we managed to get Castle to talk about what just happened."
"And?"
"And he said that Beckett did it. Shot him and Gina that is."
"Well I couldn't see Beckett being a murderer because of her mother. She would never want Alexis to go through what she went through, but then again jealousy can be a deadly thing."
"Jealousy? You think that if she did it, she could have done it out of jealousy?"
"It's always possible boys and we've got to consider that the murder weapon was a police gun"
"True. So what should we do Captain?"
"Well come back to the precinct as if everything is normal, let Beckett leave the hospital first, then run back and grab the footage of Castle saying that she did it. I'll take it from there once she arrives at the precinct."
"Yes Captain"
"And if Beckett hits on about what's happening, arrest her."
"Really?"
"Yes. Good luck detectives."

Kate watched as Ryan and Esposito walked out of the room. "Castle's asleep; we should head back to the precinct"
"Sure" she said as she stood up and told Lanie that they were leaving.
On arriving at the precinct after dropping Lanie off at the morgue, Kate; or now since she was in the precinct; Beckett, went to sit at her desk and noticed that funnily enough Ryan and Esposito weren't here yet.
She looked at the empty chair next to her desk and sighed. Suddenly Ryan and Esposito arrived at the precinct carrying something. She waited for them to come tell her what they had found but she was shocked instead to find them to head off into the captains office.
Beckett was starting to get suspicious but dismissed that thought as the captain came towards her desk.
"Come with me Beckett" he said
Beckett willingly followed him but she came to a standstill as she saw him enter the interrogation room.
"What's going on?" she asked as Montgomery waved her into the interrogation room.
She sat down in her seat but Montgomery shook his head and said "no Beckett." As he pulled out the other chair meant for suspects.
Suspects! She thought as she warily sat down in the suspect chair. She watched as her captain sat down in the interrogators chair; her chair; and pulled out a laptop.
He opened the laptop and started talking to her.
"Now Beckett" he said "where were you between 5.00pm and 6.00pm last night"
Beckett's mouth dropped open and her eye's widened in shock. "Captain, you can't seriously be considering me being the murderer!" she said raising her voice as she stood up to leave.
"Sit down Beckett" the captain said sternly. "And just answer the question."
Beckett grudgingly sat down again and spoke; "I left the precinct around 5.00pm last night and I returned directly to my apartment."
"Can anybody verify that?"
"Yes my doorman. Anyway when the hell did I suddenly become a suspect!"Beckett yelled
"When Castle said this" Montgomery said calmly as he turned the laptops volume on high and placed it in front of Beckett as the hospital video footage started playing.
Beckett watched the incident at the hospital unfold all over again. She stared more intently as in the video she walked out of the room; she listened to the boys conversation.
"What the hell just happened there man?" Ryan and Esposito asked Castle
"Beckett" was all Castle said
"What about her?" they said in unison
"She did this" he said gesturing to his wound.
Beckett opened her mouth wide in shock. No wonder Castle had been scared of her. He though she had killed Gina and shot him. She looked Montgomery in the eye as he started to speak.
"I know Beckett. But I'm still going to need your gun and badge until your proven innocent; which I really hope you are."
She sighed as she handed over her gun and badge and watched as Montgomery pocketed her badge; her life; she thought and place the gun into an evidence bag. "Why did you put the gun in an evidence bag?' she asked.
"Because if you remember, Dr Parish identified the murder weapon as being a police gun"
"Oh" was all she said but she decided to ask Montgomery one last question before he closed the door. "And what would have been my motive?" she said smugly sure that the captain wouldn't be able to answer it.
"Jealousy" was simply all he said as Beckett watched opened mouthed as he disappeared through the door. Me jealous? She thought; of Castle and Gina? Never. She decided but a little niggle in her heart told her otherwise.

A/N: Reviews are really appreciated! Can anybody guess who the killer is? I will try to publish Chapter 3 ASAP!
P.S just to be clear the crime scene was at Castle's loft not in the Hamptons. In the episode time line it occured after Castle got back from the hamptons but didn't tell Beckett.
Thanks :)
