UnderCover Wedding
Chapter Nine
Throughout the day Kate & Rick kept watching each other & giving looks. She would look at him & smile. Rick did the same thing. They hoped no one noticed.
While Beckett was doing paperwork, Castle was busy working on something in the break room. The guys were wondering what he was doing, but didn't get a straight answer from him when asked. Castle had the blinds down on the windows & door.
After awhile Kate received a text from Rick…
Meet me in the break room. R.C.
Kate smiled.
Why? What did you have in mind? Are you planning something? K.B.
She thought that should get a reply out of him. Grinning.
You have no idea. Why don't you knock on the door & find out. R.C.
Beckett laughed out loud. Suddenly she had pairs of eyes on her. She looked away & pretended to be busy. A few minutes later she got another text…
What's going on out there? They're on to us aren't they? R.C.
Kate typed back…
They probably are even though I'm trying to play dumb. I have an idea, I'll be in a few minutes. K.B.
A few minutes later she looked up from her paperwork looking around the room & asked, "Have you guys seen Castle?"
Ryan & Esposito looked at each other & smiled. Esposito said, "Yeah he's in the break room. Don't know what he's up to though? He wouldn't say."
Ryan said, "Why don't you go & find out."
Beckett got up & knocked on the door. "Hey Castle what are you doing in there? Open the door."
The door opened & Castle said, "Come in & see."
The door closed. The guys tried to see inside the room, but didn't get a chance to before the door was slammed in their faces.
Meanwhile Rick & Kate were busy making up for lost morning hours during work.
"Rick…" Kate said between kisses. "We have to stop before they break the door down."
He answered, "Ok but this morning was very long in between."
Kate smiled & said, "I know. So what have you been doing in here anyway?"
Rick showed her the table & pulled the covers off of the food trays…
Kate gasped…, "Is this Chinese food from my favorite place?" looking at Rick.
"Yes it is! I thought you could use a break & plus I thought we could celebrate our marriage now being real." He answered.
Kate hugged him & kissed him, "Thank you for this. I can't believe you went to all this trouble."
Rick answered, "It's no trouble at all. I meant what I said this morning…I love you. It's makes me happy to know that you want to be with me."
"I love you too. Thank you for waiting for me to get my act together." Kate said.
They sat down at the table & began to eat their lunch. Meanwhile outside the door. Ryan, Esposito & now Lanie were trying to hear what was going on inside. Bets were being started & money was being handed out all over the bullpen.
Captain Montgomery came out of his office after a phone call & looked around, "WHAT IS GOING ON OUT HERE!"
Ryan answered, "Sir…Castle was in the break room all morning & Beckett just went in there now. We're trying to find out what's going on."
Lanie said, "Something happened between them last night? We all know it. All of us saw the signs when they walked in this morning."
Montgomery said, "That's enough of this! Leave those two alone. They're probably throwing ideas around with the case. I'll knock on the door & see what's going on."
Captain Montgomery knocked on the door & opened the door when Castle said to come in. He walked in, along with Ryan, Esposito & Lanie behind him.
There they saw Beckett & Castle eating lunch with the table all set up fancy.
Kate smiled at them & said, "Hey guys, Sir…what's going on? News on the case?"
Roy said, "No. I found these knuckle heads outside the door trying to listen in on whatever was going on in here. This Precinct is starting to turn into a schoolyard."
Castle said, "I thought I'd do Beckett a favor & have lunch set up. Besides with our case, we need to figure out how & what to do next to throw people off our trail."
"Good. The sooner we can figure out what happened the sooner we can close this case." Roy said.
Twenty minutes later after Roy & "the snoopers" left. Castle closed the door again. He & Kate looked at each other & started laughing like crazy.
The bullpen got quiet & listened to the laughing coming from them. Roy just smiled.
