Loft-office Chapter name, the truth
Castle was finishing up yet another chapter of his Nikki Heat series. His newest book Heat Rises. It was around 2 in the morning once he decided it was "quits time". He headed out of his extravagant office and walked over to the couch.
"Shoot," he mumbled. He just then remembered that he kept all the spare pillows and blanket/sheets in his closet. In his room. He slowly creped up the stairs and by Alexis' and his Mother's room until he got to his bedroom door where she was sleeping. He slowly opened the door as it creaked.
The room was pitch black besides the light from the hallway where he was coming in. He could see where part of the light hit Kate's face and part of the dark blue bed spread all the way back to him and down the hall. He glanced at the near by chair closest to the bed and noticed her clothes laying there untouched. He wanted to know if she was wearing anything under his sheets. After he had his little fantasy, he found out she had one of his shirts on most likely that she got if from the 3rd draw in his dresser. Either way, he was so tempted to slip in next to her on her left, but stopped himself remembering from past conversations that she slept with a gun and obviously knew how to use it. She was always protecting herself.
Instead of slipping in next to her, he was 1. Obviously thinking, 2. He was being respectful, and 3. He wanted to live. He just kept on his mission to get a pillow and sheets. While he was getting his sleeping items, he hears a faint sob, or what sounded like one anyway. He was thinking at first that is could have been cars passing by but then spotted Kate sitting up in his bed crying and panting.
He dropped everything once he saw her. "Kate? Are you ok?" He asked very concerned. No reply but sobs. He ran by her side and held her shoulders to keep her striate then held her chin to look at him. "Kate, I need you to tell me what happened so I can try to fix it."
"I-I-I-I-" she stuttered.
Rick cut her off by pulling her into a calming hug. "Shhhh. It's ok just calm down for know, ok, Kate? Everything is going to be just fine." Obedient, she calmed her harsh crying and nodded still allowing Castle to hold her. As he held her in silence, he gently rested his chin in her hair."
About 10, 15 minutes later, Kate was silent. "Kate, are you still awake or am I talking to a sleeping version of you?"
She laughed lightly. "I'm still awake, Castle."
"You want to talk about it?"
"About what?" she questioned.
"Kate, don't act like that. You and I both know very well that something had happened to you tonight," he said not so nicely.
She sat up from their position that they were in for the past 15 or so minute. At the same tone she said, "Well did you ever thing for a second that I didn't want to talk about it?"
He stared at her for a couple seconds then finally said, "I'm sorry ok? I just don't want to see you get hurt."
"Yeah? Well I'm fine. Look Castle, I understand you're concerned but I'm really tired. I have work and need my sleep."
He looked down at the dark blue sheets then back at her. "Ok. Night Detective."
Beckett had a forced smile but didn't really come out to good. "Ok," she whispered as he got the pillow and sheets that he dropped once he saw her crying. "Night Castle."

Loft
After he set up his "bed" and settled into it, he picked up the remote and turned the TV on. As he was flipping through the channels, he found reruns of "Temptation Lane". He started to watch it he said, "Man am I thirsty." He got up and went over to the kitchen, got a cup out of the cupboard and got some really cold ice tea.
"Kido, what's going on?" asked Martha sleepily.
He turned to see his mother in a silky leopard robe. "It's Kate."
"Oh so it's "Kate" now is it?"
"It's always been Kate in my eyes. Anyway, she had a night mare and wont tell me about it," he said sadly.
"Give her some time."
"I know. It's just that she hasn't been to open with me about things since she got shot," he said deplorably.
"I know. She still has to get used to things though!"
"It makes me feel like I'm not good enough."
"Was she open with Ryan and Esposito before she got shot?"
"Not as much as me! She wouldn't even tell Josh her mother was murdered!"
"Do you not realize she trusts you more then anyone? Darling that's something."
"I'm worried," Castle stated.
"I know but she is a detective she can take care of her self. Trust me."

Loft Castle's room
Ring! Ring! Ring! Beckett's phone rang at around 7:30. She reached to her left but only found more bed. She opened her eyes and found she wasn't in her normal room. Then remembered all events that went on the previous night and what happened at 2 AM. Ring! Ring! Ring! "Alright! I'm getting it!" She reached over the rest of the king sized bed and picked up her phone. The caller ID said it was Ryan calling. She pressed the green talk button then pulled the blackberry up to her ear. In a very listlessly, tired, scratchy voice she answered, "Beckett."
"Hey it's Ryan."
"I can tell that by the caller ID." He laughed lightly. "What's up?"
"You know how you wanted me to track the ESN number?"
"Yeah."
"Well. We got an address."
Woo hoo! They found the phone! Is there going to be Jerry on the other side of it? I hope you guys stick around and hope you review! :D
