Kate slide down the wall she was leaning on for support and let the tears fall freely, but made no sound, as she didn't want to draw attention to herself. After a couple of minutes Kate pulled herself up until she was standing, on shaky legs but not falling at least. She slowly navigated her way through the chaos of the 12th until she reached the female bathroom. She walked to the mirror and thanked her lucky stars that she decided to wear waterproof mascara this morning, because although she doesn't care what others think, she wants to be able to do her job with as little stares as possible. She then checks her hair which is a little messed up at the back from sliding down the wall, so she turn on the tap and wet her hands and then she lightly ran her hands through the back of her hair. She grabbed some tissues and rubbed her tears off of her face along with some of her make up and then threw the tissues in the bin. She washed her hands and then walked out of the bathroom as confidently as she could manage, straight to the break room to make some coffee.

Kate thought that to take her mind of Castle she would make a coffee that took more than 30 seconds to make. So first she ground the beans and put them into the espresso machine and then she placed a cup underneath everything was going perfectly fine until, she turned the water on. Instead of the water gong threw the ground beans and her yummy caffeine fix landing in her cup, hot steam sprayed in her face. Kate jumped back shocked her hip connected with the corner of the table. The boys walked into the break room just as she let out a little yelp of pain and annoyance but mostly annoyance. Kate looked down at her to see a red mark that she was sure would turn into a bruise by the end of the day and then she looked to where the stem had condense on the top of her shirt and let out a sigh of relief to see that it had not turned the top of her top see threw.

The boys finally decided to make their presence know when Esposito spoke first.

"Hey, Beckett we took Slaughter to the hospital just a broken nose that will just have to be placed and then left alone for a while"

Kate turned around and looked at the boys, she could not find the energy to mask her emotions, so the boys could see just how much of a bad day she was having.

Ryan saw that she was ready to scream, so asked.

"Beckett, you okay?"

Kate thought to herself nope, just want to go home but answered differently.

"Yep perfectly fine, just trying to make a coffee but the machines stuffing up. No big deal"

Simultaneously Ryan and Esposito looked at each other Esposito shock his head telling him not to ask but Ryan did not listen.

"Why isn't Castle making it for you"

Kate slowly dropped her head down closed her eyes trying to hold the tears in, while Esposito wacked him over the back of the head.

"He left, most likely for good, but its Castle he is a child and children need new toys every second week" Kate said with a shrug at the end.
