Hell broke loose. As soon as the lights went off, Castle threw himself to the ground not caring the continuous pain at both his side and his leg. Shot rang out. He heard two sets of feet running away and then someone lifted him from the ground.

"Come on we gotta go!" said the voice of Reynolds. Castle stood up, but as soon as he put some weight on his injured leg he felt as if it was made out of jello. Also he felt as one by one the stitches on the stab wound at his side popped one by one and fresh blood started running down, warm against his skin.

"My leg." Castle winced. That was definitely going to slow them down. "You better go after whoever ran away...I'll be fine."

"I came here for you" Reynold replied. "Beckett will kill me if I don't get you out alive."

"You have to get to them." Castle insisted.

"Shut up Richard, this is not open to discussion" Then, Reynold put one of Castle's arms over his shoulders and the started moving.

"You better give me some cool NSA toys after this." Castle said. So, they started moving through the deserted aisles (now with the lights on). They reached the main hall when both Castle and Reynolds saw two figures running towards the exit. Castle was the first to notice. "Hey! Stop!" Reynolds looked up his son. "Go after them!" Castle said letting go of his father. "I'll be fine...just go!"

"Freeze!" Reynolds shouted moving as fast as his legs could. Then, he reached for his gun, aimed and fired.

"AAAH!" said the voice of the Chief of Detectives, who went down on the ground. "Don't move Sophia!" she stopped and turned. Reynolds caught her by the collar of her shirt and started moving towards Castle again. Castle on the other hand had managed to lean on the front desk and started to apply pressure on the stab wound. Sophia looked at Castle with disdain.

"You better be careful Rick...those wounds might end up killing you." She said coldly.

"I hate to disappoint you but I'm not that easy to get rid off." Castle replied.

Gates, Ryan, Esposito and Beckett were completely silent as they saw the escape. Non of them could speak as they saw the blood staining Castle's clothes as he stood up after the shooting at the archives. Non of them were able to move their eyes off the screen as both Reynolds and Castle limped on their way out of the precinct. At that moment they saw how Sophia and the Chief of Detectives were running towards the exit. The four of them felt even more helpless is that was even possible, when Castle said something to Reynolds and he left him to catch Sophia.

"What's he doing?!" Esposito said out loud as both Sophia and Reynolds made their back to Castle. "They need to get out before the whole building blows up!"

"Something's wrong." Beckett whispered.

Her gut was telling her something bad was gonna happen. They couldn't tell what Sophia was saying, but her face only made Beckett feel total disgust for her. Then, Reynolds took a lighter out and burned the file Sophia was holding. It didn't took Beckett long to understand what was exactly happening, but just as if the others needed confirmation, Reynolds handed Sophia his back up gun and pointed at a very confused Castle.

"Shit." Beckett said and immediately stood up and ran towards the precinct.

More to come soon...
