Ok so it's been a while but here's the next chapter. I hope you like it. :)
Ok quick note, I had to repost the chapter since I read through and realised that I'd made more mistakes than I normally would.
The next morning saw Beckett sat at her desk, her jacket over the back of her chair and her head resting on her arms. She hadn't slept much the night before, she had been thinking about the kiss so much and since she had a spare minute now, waiting for the others to arrive she was resting her eyes. Well she was until the thumb of a coffee cup being put on her desk made her sit up again. She picked up the cup without looking at the man who she knew had given it to her. After taking a mouthful she slowly raised her gaze and saw that Castle was sitting on his chair, playing on his phone, not looking at her. She smiled, she should have realised that he wasn't going to mention it, they were both the same, never saying anything that mattered, unless it was a life or death situation.
She looked around the precinct and noticed that there were people in the conference room. She stood and tapped Castle on the shoulder and nodded towards the room. Castle followed her gaze then stood and followed her as she walked in.
Everyone in the room looked up when they head the door open. "Nice sleep Beckett?" Esposito teased.
She glared at him, "I wasn't asleep, I was resting my eyes."
Esposito and Ryan both raised their eyebrows, not believing her but not saying anything more on the subject. Beckett looked around the room and when her gaze landed on Tony she asked, "We ready to go get your bike?"
He shook his head, "Not yet, we're just waiting for Ziva, she went for a run and isn't here yet."
Beckett nodded, "Ok." She then clicked her fingers and asked, "We can get down there fine since we can all share mine and Castle's bikes but you two will need helmets."
"I like the sound of a helmet if I am sharing a bike with Tony," Ziva said coming into the room.
"Yep," Gibbs said following her in, "I think that might be a good idea."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, but at least you don't need helmets when I'm driving a normal car," he threw a pointed look at Ziva.
"There is nothing wrong with my driving," Ziva snapped at him.
Beckett, Castle and everyone else in the room watched the two of them arguing.
"There's nothing wrong with your driving if you want to die," Tony smirked.
Gibbs smacked the backs of the both of their heads, "Not now you two. Go get your bike."
They both replied yes boss, yes Gibbs, then looked at Beckett and Castle.
Beckett smiled, "So, helmets. I've got my spare one in my desk but we still need one more."
There was a knock at the door then Alexis walked in. "No we don't," Castle said, taking the helmet of his daughter.
"Here dad, and Grams told me to tell you not to show off and hurt yourself, you know what happened last time."
Castle huffed then asked his daughter, "You alright to get home when you're finished in the morgue?"
Alexis nodded, "Yeah I'll get a cab." She saw the look on her father's face and sighed, "Fine, I'll call the car."
Castle nodded, "Good." He pulled his daughter into a hug, "Now go be brilliant."
He began chivvying her towards the door but before she went through the door she turned and said, "By the way Kate, Special Agent David, you both look really good."
Beckett smiled at her, "Thanks Alexis."
Alexis smiled then looked at her father, "I'll see you later dad, just don't fall off again ok."
Castle kissed her on the top of her head and she left. Then he turned back to the group and looked at Beckett and Ziva for the first time. Alexis was right, the jacket fitted Ziva perfectly, showing off her figure while Beckett just looked plain amazing in her leather trousers. Castle smiled, "And even your boots have a heel."
Beckett shrugged, "I can run in higher so why would I lose them for a bike?"
Castle smiled then handed the helmet the Ziva, "Your head is smaller so this will be a better fit for you than Tony."
Ziva smiled at him, "Toda."
"So Beckett, I rather think I can handle you on your bike wearing that," Castle smirked at her then ducked when her hand came out to grab his ear. "Ha, you missed," he teased. Beckett's other hand came up and pinched his ear, "Ow, ow, ow, or not." Beckett let go and Castle rubbed his ear while Esposito and Ryan laughed at the two of them.
"Come on man, you should know by now you can't beat Beckett," Esposito pointed out.
Castle shrugged, "I'm a slow learner."
Beckett shook her head and looked at Tony and Ziva, both of whom were smirking, "Shall we?"
They both nodded and the four of them made to walk out of the room but Gibbs stopped them. "Behave the two of you and Tony don't annoy Ziva too much." He looked them up and down then added, "When you get back I want your gun and knifes, I can see all of them."
Ziva looked down and realised he was right, the gun on her ankle was a noticeable bulge and the knife at her waist was outlined by her tight jeans. Gibbs looked at Tony's face then said, "I change my mind, both of you hand them over now, before the detectives end up investigation one of your murders."
Both Tony and Ziva sighed and handed Gibbs their concealed weapons, but keeping their service pieces. When Ryan and Esposito saw Ziva pull the gun on her ankle and then the knives out of her belt and other boot whistled in admiration.
Ziva looked at them and smiled lightly, "Old habit." Both detectives had a questioning look on their faces and Ziva explained, "I used to be Mossad."
Both men nodded in understanding and Tony smiled, "Come on my little ninja, give your guns to Gibbs so we can go get a bike." He sounded so childlike and happy Ziva shook her head and handed her gun and knives to Gibbs who nodded and put them on the table.
"You can have them back after the undercover assignment."
Ziva nodded and the four of them made their way out of the room and towards the elevator, Beckett making a quick stop at her desk to throw the spare helmet she kept in her desk to Tony. He caught it and smiled his thanks.
"Have fun," Esposito called after them, "And try to contain your excitement about seeing Beckett on her bike Castle."
Beckett glared at them while Castle just smirked. The four got onto the lift and went down to the underground parking garage.
