/Kate's POV/

When I got to my building I waved to my doorman before getting in the elevator and hitting my floor's button.

I rested my back against the elevator wall behind me as I thought about the events that have transpired over the past few days.

I asked myself...What ever possessed me to wait this long to give into my feelings? Why did it have to take a bomb going off for me to finally wake up? I guess sometimes good things can come from a bomb going off.

"Well doesn't that sound sick Kate." I shook my head lightly as the elevator doors opened up to my floor.

I walked to my apartment door and started to pull out my keys. I got this odd feeling like I was being watched. I looked around the narrow hall but found nothing.

I'm probably just being paranoid.

I finally unlocked and opened my front door, closing it behind me. I took off my jacket and threw it over the back of the couch.

I put my phone on the kitchen counter and walked to my bedroom.

As I walked in I remembered that Castle had asked me to call him when I got home. I didn't want him to worry so I turned around to walk back to my phone in the kitchen.

As I picked up my phone I heard the faint sound of breathing. I stood there almost frozen. I wasn't armed.

Shit, my gun's in the safe

I looked around the counter and saw a knife I used the other night on the drying rack.

I slowly reached out to grab the knife only to hear the familiar sound of gun being cocked.

"I don't think that's a very good idea Kate."

I slowly turned to find a man pointing a gun at my head.

A/N: Sorry it's such a short chapter! The next one is going to be a bit of a challenge for me so it will take some time to write, but hopefully I'll get it done soon. I hope everyone is have a great summer so far!
