I just got in from a concert with my band a few minutes ago. Trying to unwind, so lucky you. You get another chapter.
I'm really excited because tonight we got a standing ovation! That is the first time that's happened since high school.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my ideas. The characters + the show belongs to the talented masterminds in Hollywood.


"Okay, I'm here. What is it?" Kate asked in a frustrated tone.

"My mother. She's completely freaking out. And I don't know what to do about her." Castle told her in an almost pleading tone.

Kate said nothing but walked in. She gasped at what she saw.


Chapter 2

She saw Martha laying on the floor writhing like a worm. She then got on her hands and knees and began to crawl around. After that she got on her feet and started pacing circles.

Kate managed to take her eyes of Martha and look around. There was broken glass and lamps that had been smashed surrounded them.

Kate then turned to Rick. "Call 911. There's nothing we can do."

Martha then walked up to Kate and sniffed her like a dog. She obviously didn't like Kate's scent because all of the sudden, Martha bit her. "Ow! Castle!" Rick's mind was elsewhere, but a sharp pain in his arm brought him back to Earth.

"What was that for?" he asked Kate.

For her answer she held out her bleeding arm. "What happened?" Rick asked her concerned.

"Your mother happened. She walked up to me, sniffed me, then bit me."

Rick looked at her arm again, and this time he could see the bite marks his mother had left on Kate.

Rick tried to help her, but she brushed him off. "Have you called the medics yet?" Kate asked him.

"No." Rick shook his head, "But I'm thinking animal control might be better." he finished, all the while, watching the blood drip from her arm.

Kate glared at him, and fished her phone out of her purse. She dialed 911, and listened to it ring.

She finally heard, "911, what's your emergency?"

"I have a woman who is freaking out. She has broken glasses, lamps, and plates. She is out of control."

"Okay. Can I get your name and who this woman is?" the girl asked her.

"I'm Kate Beckett. The woman is Martha Rodgers."

"Okay. And your address please."

"322 Broadway, New York."

"Okay. An ambulance is on its way."

"Thank you." Kate said, then hung up.

Kate leaned back, only to find that Rick was behind her. But she didn't move, nor did he.

They stayed like that, watching Martha act like a lunatic.

Pretty soon Kate heard a knock on the door. She pulled away from Rick, and answered the door. She saw two men in EMT uniforms. She stepped aside so that they could enter.

Kate and Rick watched as the two men walked up to Martha. They each grabbed and arm, and counted to three. On the count of three, they effortlessly picked her up and carried her out the door, Martha kicking and screaming.

Kate and Rick looked at each other. They walked out the door and followed the EMTs carrying Martha. They ran to Kate's car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Once there, they took a seat in the waiting room.

About two hours later, a doctor came out to tell them what is happening to Martha.

"Kate Beckett. Richard Castle." he called out.

Kate and Rick stepped up to him. "Yes." Kate said. She was too anxious to notice Rick grab her hand.

The doctor looked at them, "I'm afraid I have some bad news."
