Hi so another chapter for you, sorry its been so long but my laptop's been on the blink and tbh I'm surprised it's uploaded this time.
I hope you like this, Kevin is my fave character, he's just so adorable.
Enjoy!
Kevin and Jenny were having a nice night in, they had just ordered some Chinese and Kevin was happily telling Jenny about his afternoon when he suddenly stopped mid sentence. His mind clicked about what had been said, and who would have heard.
Jenny sees a drastic change in him as he suddenly dives for his phone, worry and panic filing his eyes as he tries to explain everything to her.
"Someone's after them, that's who sent that man on Saturday night, we found out it was someone at the precinct, a traitor. When Kate and Castle were there earlier it was obvious they were together, which would have really annoyed the man that's after them, but they mentioned that Alexis is at a friends tonight and Martha's away somewhere."
He trails off, finding his phone and getting no response from Kate's number, Jenny finishes the realisation for him.
"The man knows it'll just be them tonight and he'll be mad. There'll be no one to interrupt or call for help. With his uniform he'll be able to get into the building. He's going to go after them."
As Kevin's panic increases Jenny grabs him and they race from the apartment, she drives him to Castle's loft but on the way they get stuck in traffic, that's where they are when he gets a phone call from Castle's phone. Kevin is so relieved, until he answers it.
"Hey, I've been trying to get you….. Castle, Rick,…. Kate. Are you there?"
He begins to hear Rick's words and despite himself puts the phone on speaker phone while using Jenny's phone to call Esposito. Together they listen as they race to help their friends.
"What made you like this? What turned you away from the justice you originally sought to uphold? What makes you think you can do this? Why on earth can't you stand our happiness?"
They hear people moving before Rick's shouts stop and his last sentence is spoken, this sentence brings chills to his friends spines, as they know they are listening to a true man.
"What made you think I'll let you hurt the woman I love?"
Kevin races from the car as a fight ensues, Jenny follows at a distance, not wanting to get in the way. She can hear the fight get fiercer and realises that it is Kate that is fighting the man, it's a noisy fight, there are thuds and bangs as well as grunts of pain and heavy breathing.
Jenny can feel her heart breaking as she realises that Rick must be watching the fight, unable to help. She can hear each hit and to her dismay her friend seems to be loosing. A crash rings out as someone is thrown across the room, a faint whimper telling her it was Kate.
Javier and Lanie reach her side as she hears Rick's reaction, it seems he's about to jump into the fight but instead she hears the dreadful click of a gun, followed by Rick's cry, as he calls for Kate. His voice is almost hollow with desperation and dread and yet thick with love and pain.
Jenny can see him in her mind, darting across the room towards Kate, a gun aimed at her chest, as she gazes at him with eyes filled with the deepest love. It's slowed down, like in the movies as she imagines Rick cradling his love, ready to die for her.
One thing Jenny doesn't need to imagine is the gunshot that rings out a few moments later, when fuelled by fear and love she races for the loft not even Javier reacts fast enough to catch her as she races into the Castle home.
She dives straight into Kevin's arms, as he stands looking at the blood that is pooling upon the kitchen floor. Tears race down his face as he stares at the scene, and holds his love as if he will never let go.
Beside him Javier stands in shock, the living room is destroyed, the kitchen is stained with sticky blood and in the middle of it all Kate and Rick sit cuddled into one another, leaning against the sofa.
Their eyes are closed and their hands entwined, he whispers softly into her ear, praying that she can hear him as Lanie's tortured cries announce her arrival, Rick looks up at her with such pain in his pleading eyes as he lifts his love from the floor and onto the sofa.
Lanie follows him, carefully eyeing the man on the floor, Kevin's gun trained on him.
She almost collapses as she takes in the sight of her best friend as with a shaking hand she reaches to look for her pulse. Her tears are falling almost as heavily as Rick's and behind her she knows that even her man has tears falling from his eyes.
Rick watches with paused breath as Lanie's fingers reach Kate's neck. In that moment his world seemed to pause.
Ok, so reviews please and since it's been so long since the last upload I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
