A/N speech in italics belongs to the episode, sorry it's a bit short! Last chapter coming soon!
Javier and Kevin were at Kevin's apartment waiting for news from Beckett after Kevin had sent her the text telling her Montgomery was the third cop. Javier and Kevin hadn't talked much after their fight, Javier felt so guilty some friend I am, I made a promise in middle school that I wasn't going to let anyone hurt him again and what do I do?. He was distracted from his thoughts when Kevin's cell phone rang; Kevin put it on the coffee table on loud speaker. That's when they heard the words they didn't want to hear. Beckett telling them Montgomery was dead. They were meeting at Castle's apartment in an hour. After Beckett hung up, Javier looked over at Kevin who was staring at his phone. Javier only watched as Kevin got up and kicked out at his couch.
"You don't wanna do that Kev; you'll hurt your foot" murmured Javier.
"I don't care about my foot!" yelled Kevin "I don't care about anything!"
"That's not true Kev"
"Wanna bet? Tonight I find out the man who convinced me to transfer from Narcotics to Homicide when I had doubts about whether I could do it after what happened to my dad, is… was a dirty cop!" spat Kevin. Javier remembered the last time he heard Kevin sound so angry was the day his dad had died, Kevin had turned his back to Javier so Javier stood up and turned Kevin around by the shoulders. Before he said anything Kevin stared at him and said "you're not the only who didn't want to hear he was a dirty cop"
"I know" Javier sank to the couch and looked at his hands when Kevin moved over to the window and stared out at the sky. They then went to Castle's.

They were where none of them wanted to be. At the funeral of their Captain. They had to put on their uniforms they seldom ever wore, a uniform they had begun to dread to wear. Javier noticed Kevin's hand slightly shake as he put his hand on the handle of the coffin which contained their Captain. They sat and watched as Beckett went up to make her speech. Then they heard the shot and watched as Beckett looked confused as Castle pushed her to the floor. Javier pushed Lanie to the floor trying to keep her safe, he turned to look at Kevin who was behind him to check he was ok, only to see Kevin crouching low as he headed to where Beckett and Castle were. Javier's heart was in his mouth as he could only wait and see if Kevin would make it to the others unhurt he breathed a sigh of relief when he did, Javier then let Lanie rush to Beckett's side and Javier followed. When he reached Beckett he saw Lanie pushing down on Beckett's chest trying to stop the blood flowing, Castle was by Beckett's head and Kevin was standing just behind, staying out the way with his eyes wide with shock. An ambulance had been and gone, and Kevin stood in the same place. Javier went to go over to him, but Kevin shook himself and jogged over to an officer and took an offered gun and the two ran over to where the shot was fired and began to canvas the area, Javier followed them not wanting to leave Kevin in case something happened to him to. Because there was no way in hell he was going to let another member of his team get hurt, let alone his partner, best friend and brother.
