UnderCover Wedding

Chapter Six

Kate & Rick sat there still trying to figure out what to make of the morning paper.

Rick asked, "So what do you think? Do you think it was wrong of Montgomery to do & say that?"

Kate answered, "I'm not sure what to think right now or if it was a good idea for him to take that interview?"

A few minutes later both of their cell phones started going off & they looked at each other before looking back at the phones.

Lanie was calling Kate, while Rick's agent was calling him. They explained to them that they had no idea about the paper until a few minutes before.

About two hours later they left the apartment & held hands once they got outside to face the music of reporters & such. They got in the cab & left for the 12th Precinct.

By the time they got there, Montgomery was waiting for them in his office to plan what to do next.

Montgomery said, "Kate I know you think that what I said was wrong or that I shouldn't of said anything, but trust me when I say it was the best thing to do given the case that started the whole thing in the first place."

Beckett answered, "I know that there must be a reason why you did, but why not call us & tell us last night so we have a warning as to what to aspect?"

Castle said also, "She's right. My agent chewed me out because of it. I told her that I didn't know about it. She told me now she has to do damage control."

Roy answered, "Look I'm sorry, but if I didn't make some sort of move your cover would have been blown. We have to make it as real as possible."

Beckett & Castle said at the same time, "How real?" They looked at each other & smiled.

Roy said, "It mainly matters when you're outside in public, inside it doesn't, but you still have to be careful in here around the outsiders."

Castle said, "PDA's?" Beckett glared at him. He only smiled back.

Montgomery answered, "Yes. Maybe a pet name here & there. Just throw stuff in like that every now & then. Throw the reporters a loop to keep them talking."

Beckett asked, "What else?"

"Make some noise about making plans for a honeymoon or redecorating Castle's place or yours." Said Roy

"But Sir…?" Kate said

Roy said, "Kate you have to keep them guessing, make them think you guys are in love. That you're talking about plans. I know for the most part this case is seriously hush hush. You guys are creative. Make a splash."

Castle just smiled & said, "We'll try & come up with something."

Montgomery said, "Good. Now get to work & solve these cases that I've said about. You two can go home early at lunch time. If anybody asks tell them you been sent home for some alone time & that you had some breaks in the cases."

Beckett glared & Castle smiled.

At lunchtime Rick & Kate left early like Montgomery said to. They ordered pizza to take home & acted like they're going to make plans.
