I know I left everyone at a cliffhanger, kinda. Since I have a band with my nephews, I don't usually have time to watch Castle on TV, but I do watch it on Hulu. Anyways, I watched Once Upon A Crime yesterday, and OH MY GOD! Beckett and Castle were HOLDING HANDS! I wonder where this will lead. I hope that Marlowe makes it go somewhere.
Disclaimers: Yeah, right. Never owned 'em, probably never will. Although there was a person back there in my family that was an actress.
Chapter 7
Esposito stared after Kate and Rick. He realized that he was still standing, and jogged to get beside Kate. They were just walking around the corner to the body and Lanie, when Esposito grabbed Kate's arm and quickly spun her around. "Sorry boss, but you're not telling me something. Why the hell are you driving a Porsche?" Esposito questioned her.
Kate looked at him and said, "Castle and I got together before his mom was emitted into the hospital. I was at his apartment when you called, I left, went to my apartment, got dressed for work, and when I turn around, here's Castle standing in my bedroom doorway. I finish getting ready while he's sitting on my bed waiting for me. I get done with me makeup and walk downstairs to my car, and what do I see? A Porsche behind my Crown Vic. He bought me a present. Is that all?"
Esposito looked at her for a second before grabbing her in a hug and saying, "You need to know, that if he ever hurts you, he'll have to answer to me and Ryan."
When he let go of her, Kate said, "Thanks Espo." with a small smile. God forbid if anyone but Esposito, Ryan, Lanie, and Rick see her smile. That would ruin her "nothing gets to me" reputation.
Kate walked over to Lanie, where Rick was waiting for her. She took a spot next to Rick and asked Lanie what happened.
"Well, her name is Jessica Simon. She got a single GSW to the chest. Judging by body temp and lividity, she was killed about an hour ago." Lanie supplied.
Kate bet down to get a better look at the victim. "Alright. Let's start canvasing." and she walked away.
Two hours later, Kate, Ryan, and Esposito were still canvasing, while Rick played Angry Birds on his phone. Half and hour passed and Kate threw in the towel. "We aren't getting anywhere. Let's get back to the precinct and start looking into her past." At her words, Rick perked up. He paused his game, and walked over to her. Just as she peeled off her gloves, Rick grabbed her, pulled her toward him and kissed her. Kate pulled back, leaving rick looking stunned. When she took a step back, she pulled her hand up and slapped him.
"Castle! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Kate asked giving him the death stare. If looks could kill Rick would have been long dead.
