A/N: Okay so first I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday but this week has been incredibly busy for me...anyway as usual please REVIEW AND ENJOY!

t has been a slow day for Detective Beckett. After Castle basically pleaded her to go and get some much needed rest, she went back to her apartment. Esposito had called her before to let her know they were taking Castle's statement today. She called Castle to let him know she was coming to the hospital to be with him while he had to relive for Gates, Ryan and Esposito the details of his capture. He however, told her not to come, that she needed rest and that in the end he wouldn't want her to hear everything in detail and to be perfectly honest, he was right about the last part. No matter how much she wanted to support Castle, it was unbearable for her to see his pain and how vivid his recollections were.

After Castle had finished his statement Ryan called Beckett to let her know that they confirmed with Castle's story that Harry Mayfair and John Michaelson were behind his kidnapping and that Agent Reynolds decided to show up at the hospital, but didn't say anything about being Castle's father. She didn't really liked Reynolds. In fact there was something that felt wrong about him, about the way he talked about parenthood and she didn't know whether to tell Castle the truth or keep Castle's father identity a secret, but that didn't matter when the phone rang and she saw the picture of Castle on her screen.

"Hey Castle how are you feeling?" Beckett asked.

"Kate you need to come here with the boys." Castle said sounding terrified.

"What happened?" She asked already grabbing her car keys.

"Someone came Kate." he answered mysteriously. "I don't wanna tell you over the phone...just hurry with the boys...please"

"I'm on my way Castle, don't worry and try to stay calm ok? I'm coming." Beckett said in a worried tone.

"Okay." Castle said and hanged up. Immediately Beckett called Esposito.

"Hey Espo listen carefully, I just got a call from Castle, he said he needs us to go to the hospital right now." Beckett said quickly. "I don't know Espo but he was pretty scared so please call Ryan and go to the hospital as fast as you can."

"We'll be there in 10 minutes." Esposito said over the phone and then hanged up.

About five minutes later Beckett was already in the hospital elevator up to the third floor where Castle's room was. She got out of the elevator and practically ran the few meter of the aisle until she got to his room.

"Castle." Beckett said catching her breath and walking towards him.

"Kate." Castle said when she leaned to kiss him. She noticed something different. He had a line of oxygen on his nose.

"Are you ok?" Beckett asked concerned. "You didn't have oxygen this morning."

"I'm fine it's just precautionary." He said soothingly. "Ryan and Esposito?"

"On their way...Castle what's this about?"

"Let's just wait until they come here." He said with his eyes closed trying to calm himself. In that same moment Ryan and Esposito walked through his door.

"What happened Castle?" Ryan asked. Castle looked at the three of them and taking a deep breath he said.

"It's Sophia Turner." the three Detectives were shocked. "She's alive." It was like time had stopped, because neither said a word or move an inch.

"What?" Esposito said. "The CIA agent?"

"Yes, she was supposed to be dead but it was just a cover." Castle said more sure of himself. "She's alive guys." Beckett hadn't said a word which made Castle think she probably didn't believe him. "I'm sure it was her Kate."

"I believe you Castle." Beckett said resolutely. "What did she want?"

"She asked me who had kidnapped me." He answered. "She asked for them...I think she wants to kill them." there was compassion and worry in Castle's voice. "Have you found them yet?" he asked to Ryan and Esposito.

"No." Ryan said.

"We have to find them before she kills them." Castle said determined.

"Castle we are doing everything we can to find them." Esposito said trying to calm Castle down.

"Alright..." Castle said. "She said something else." He really didn't want to say anything, but if there was the slightest chance he could get help from the guys he needed to tell them. "She said that my father owes her a favor." the three Detectives looked at each other. "What is it?" Kate took a step forward and took Castle's hand.

"Rick...hummm...there's something you need to know." Beckett said carefully trying to chose the right words to tell him about his father. "When you tried to save that girl in the alley, she accidentally killed one of your them...he was an NSA agent called Andrew Thompson."

"Was he my father?" Castle asked, not quite sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"No." Beckett said a little too fast. "The thing is, when we found out about it a guy showed up at the precinct...he introduced himself as Agent Reynolds...he showed a particular interest in you...we did some tests...and his DNA showed that..."

"He's my father." Castle concluded already knowing the answer. All of a sudden he remembered the man standing behind Gates, Ryan and Esposito when they took his statement. "He was here this afternoon." it wasn't a question. And then rage took over. "How could you not tell me about it?" the heart monitors started to beep faster. "Didn't you think I should know about it?!"

"Castle calm down..." Ryan said in a low voice.

"I'm not gonna calm down Ryan!" Castle snapped. "My father was here and he didn't even bother to mention I was his son!"

"Rick you have to calm down." Beckett whispered although she understood his rage. "I know it's hard, but you have to take deep breaths before you hyperventilate." She was right, so with all his mind power Castle tried to calm down. "That's right Rick...deep breaths..." it took him about ten minutes to get his heart back on a steady heartbeat.

"You have to find John and Harry before Sophia kills them." Castle said again getting his composure back. "Look, they may have done bad things..."

"Yeah, like kidnap and torture you." Beckett said a little more harshly than intended.

"Yeah, but they are not the real bad guys." Castle said.

"How can you say that? After what they did to you Castle." Beckett said not believing what he was saying. "They almost kill you Castle! You are lying in a hospital bed because of them...they are the criminals."

"Kate I'm not saying that what they did was right." Castle said calmly. "It wasn't suppose to happen the way it did." he continued. "I spoke with one of them." he wasn't really sure why he didn't say this in his official statement but he knew now it was the time to say it. "They're just looking for justice Kate...yes it was wrong but the real responsible is Sophia...I know it's a hard position to be in, but I promise you Harry Mayfair and John Michaelson are not the ones we should go after."

"This is ridiculous." Beckett said and started pacing around the room.

"Kate..."

"No Castle!" Beckett snapped at him. "How come you are defending them after what they did to you?!"

"I'm not defending them Kate."

"They almost kill you!" Beckett repeated. "They almost took you away from me...forever"

"Beckett." Ryan said.

"Kate I'm not dead." Castle said quietly. "You're not getting rid of me that easy." he smiled and would've swore that he saw a glimpse of a smile in her face.

"I know you're not." Beckett said sitting down and taking his hand again. "But you were very close."

"What a pair." Ryan and Esposito said at the same time.

"Okay, so now that everybody got their feelings out, how about we figure out how to find Sophia Turner?" Esposito said receiving a nod from his friends.
