Detective Ryan hasn't seen Kate so broken and yet determined since when she came back from her shooting almost two years ago. He understood how Beckett felt, because if it was Jenny the one missing, he would be feeling the same way. They were waiting for the results of Lanie's tests on the blood as well as the footage of the security cameras near the area, but the worst part was that they were waiting on Alexis and Martha to come. Ryan had called Martha about fifteen minutes ago and she immediately knew that something was wrong. He didn't know if Beckett was able to tell the Castle family though.
"Beckett..." Ryan started saying."I'd understand if you don't wanna be the one that tells them."
"No." Beckett said, so absent in her own thoughts."I have to be the one that tells them Ryan." She looked at her cup of coffee already cold."Because if I hadn't told him to go home, he would still be here instead of who knows where bleeding out or even dead." She was crying. She was scared of the possibility that he could be dead by now. The thought of not having him with her again, not feeling his warmth against her body again or to see into those beautiful blue eyes every time she woke up next to him terrified her so much no one could even start to imagine. However, when she looked into Ryan eyes, she knew he had her back, same as Javier.
"Alright Beckett." said Ryan."If you need anything at all, please tell us."
"I will" she said with a small smile. In that moment Esposito came into the break room.
"Yo..."he said staring at them."Castle's family is here."
"It's time." said Beckett moving towards Martha and Alexis.
"Where is my son?" Martha asked very agitated.
"We don't know yet Martha but I'm working on it." Beckett said quietly. She was exhausted, not only because she hasn't slept in hours, but also because never in the world she imagined there with Castle's family and with him missing.
"Detective Beckett..."whisper Alexis and Beckett almost didn't hear her."Is my dad dead?" Tears were building in her eyes as she looked at Beckett.
"No." Beckett said, maybe too fast, maybe too firmly because she needed that as well ."No. He's not dead Alexis. I promise you I WILL find him, and I'm gonna kick his ass for disappearing like that."with that, she managed to make Alexis smile, even a little, knowing that she was feeling the same fear."In the meantime I need to ask, has he received any threat or has he said anything about being followed or something?"
"No, no, no."Martha said."Everything was the same as usual."
"Has anyone out of the ordinary showed at the building lately? Or have you notice anything different at all?"
"No."Martha looked about to have a panic attack."Oh my god...I hate being so useless...I can't believe what's happening."
"It's ok Martha we will find him. Don't worry." Beckett reassured her. In that moment she saw Lanie walking in to the conference room where Ryan and Esposito were."I need you to do something for me, please."
"Anything darling."said Martha immediately.
"Go to the hamptons for the weekend."Kate said. Now she understood what Castle feels every time his family was in danger. They've become her family and if someone was after Castle, she needed to keep his family safe for him.
"No!" this time it was Alexis who spoke."I'm sorry but my dad is missing! I won't leave!"
"Look I know if tough..."Kate said.
"You don't understand Kate!"said Alexis."He's my dad...I can't leave...please don't ask us that."She was crying now. God this was so hard to do.
"Alexis listen please."Kate took both of her hands."I know is hard. Trust me. But right now I'm thinking that if he was taken, then you both are in danger too." In that moment she hugged Alexis and held her while she spoke. They both needed it."Alexis...I'm sending you to the Hamptons because that's what he would've done."Alexis looked into Kate's eyes which were full of tears now."I promised him a while ago that if he..."Jesus she couldn't say this."If he was absent in someway...I would take care of you." she said."I can't break that promise Alexis. I owe him that much."
"I don't like this."Alexis whispered."But ok...just...find him...please?"
"Always." With that Martha and Alexis slowly walked towards the elevator and left. Shortly after, Kate approach to the conference room, where Ryan, Lanie and Esposito were already waiting for her.
