CH43
Kate woke in the morning and found herself intertwined with Alexis in her bed. 'How did I get here?'
Kate starts unwinding herself from Alexis tying not to wake her. Finally getting pretty far Kate starts to get up and sit on the edge of the bed.
"Oh god! What did I do last night?" Kate whispers out, while holding her head. That she was sure was trying to leave her body as part of some revolt.
Kate gets up and heads for the shower, groaning all the way.
She is standing under the hot water for what felt like an hour (15 minutes actually). Stepping out and drying herself off, she wraps the towel around her and heads for the kitchen.
Finding Castle already there. "Hi Castle." Kate calls out and moves to kiss him. Rick however backs off.
"I know I look like crap but I'm not that bad am I?" Kate is confused by his action.
"What do you want Beckett?" Rick asks not sounding happy.
"Beckett?" Kate looks at him questioningly. "Castle what's going on?"
"You should know Beckett." Rick counters. "From last night."
"All I remember about last night was celebrating getting married and the honeymoon plans you left behind with Lanie. That we went over in great detail by the way. It's fantastic Castle. I can't wait to go." Kate tries to sound excited, except her head is still pounding.
"So you still want to go after last night?" Rick questions.
"Of course I want to go! Why would I not want to go? You're my husband." Kate replies, liking using that word for the first time.
Then Rick starts to explain what happened last night.
Kate's tears had started and she didn't let him finish. She launched herself at him at wrapped her arms around him.
"I'm sorry Castle! I didn't mean a word of it. I can't believe I said anything like that. You're my husband, I love you." As tears roll down her cheek. "Please Castle, I didn't mean a word of it. You and Alexis are my life now." Kate squeezes him tighter.
Then Kate gets an idea and grabs his hand and starts dragging him down the hall.
"Where are we going Kate?" Rick is starting to let her off the hook. But those words, …. She may have been drunk, but still she said them. Deep down, it's what she said.
"We're going to make a baby Castle. Or at least practice making one. You're my husband, I love you and I want that baby." And Kate drags him into his bedroom and closes and locks the door.
An hour later a much happier Kate walks down to Alexis's bedroom to get her up and into the shower. She doesn't have school but needs to be up anyway. While Kate changes clothes to go into work. Humming the whole time.
While a much happier Rick goes into the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
They discuss the upcoming honeymoon while eating and Alexis finds out she is getting left behind. She's not happy with this idea but relents when she gets a promise that they will take her with them on their first anniversary.
Rinsing the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher, Rick hands her a coffee to-go mug and meets Kate at the door. Where she kisses him and deepens the kiss and her tongue asks for entrance.
Breaking from the kiss only because they both need air. "You're my husband Castle and I love you. Just ignore what I say when I'm drunk and the incredibly stupid stuff that comes out of my mouth when I am. That's not me talking Castle." Kate whispers into his ear while holding him tight.
"More baby making practice tonight?" Rick offers.
Kate pulls back and looks at him. "I can't wait Castle." Then kisses him again,
And Kate glides down the hallway to the elevators.
Then Kate and the guys caught a break. Someone had found a brand new Mercedes with the keys in it and had taken it for a joy ride. The kid spilled his guts after getting caught about where he had found it.
Kate then drove the area where the kid found the car and saw the house in her vision. "Gotcha." Kate called in for back up and Espo showed up with a warrant and they raided the house.
"Turned out the foster parents were selling the children sent to them by a case worker. Then splitting the profits with the case worker.
Going through the files they found 11 kids that had been sold this way. Not including the two that were presently at the house.
It was going to take time to track all those kids down but Kate was mostly happy. She had gotten justice for Miranda, three adults were in jail. But all those kids were going to get taken from the homes they were now in and placed back into the system.
And she didn't know what would happen to the people who had bought them. They had to know that buying children was illegal. But that was for the courts to decide.
"Beckett, we got a fresh one." Ryan tells them holding another pot-it-note with an address in his hands.
After arriving on the scene. "Hey Lanie."
"Hey girl." Lanie answers back. After Kate gets closer. "How do you feel Kate?"
"Like shit actually." Kate tells her. And after what she said to Castle last night she still does.
"I know the feeling I think we celebrated a little too much last night." Lanie is forced to say since her head is still splitting open.
Kate kneels down close to her. "I got home drunk and said some horrible things to Castle last night. I'm so ashamed Lanie. I don't know where those words came from?"
"You two ok?" Lanie prays she isn't the cause of something worse.
"Yea we're fine. I made it up to him this morning." Kate tells her starting to blush.
"So that's why you are glowing with a head ache like mine."
Kate just grins. "Yea, it's my new cure all for when I'm hung over from the night before.
What have we got?" Kate is back to work.
"Not exactly sure. I'm hoping to learn more after I get him/her back home and on the table." Lanie tells her.
Kate looks at Lanie questioningly and starts to remove the cover over the vic.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. After last night and my head I'm still not sure how I kept it all down after looking." Lanie warns her.
Kate disregards Lanie's warning. She's seen bad before. How bad could it be?
Kate lifts the sheet. "OH GOD!" And drops the sheet and moves away and does her best to keep the contents of her stomach in place. Her new cure that involves sex with Castle didn't cover this.
After getting herself under control Kate goes back and lifts the sheet again. Kate couldn't tell if it was a him or a her either. There wasn't enough left to determine age even. Its eyes where gone but the rest of the head was still there.
Kate reached down with a gloved hand with the intent of bending the head to see the side facing the pavement.
It was an ordinary day with my three pals; Kyle, Jason and Billy. As always after school, we all came over to my house for dinner then go downstairs into my gaming room. Three chairs were lined up in front of these high tech computers, with a stereo surround sound system on the sides. As every teenage gamer, we would spend hours on our computers playing games. Like we did everyday. But this one day, right before New Years, was different. Unordinary and I'll never forget it.
We were on break from school this time of year, and we only had a few days left to spend this time together. So as we planned, we got our snacks and pigged out downstairs. We didn't see the day light for a couple days. We played League Of Legends with our new headsets. Laughing and talking together for hours, we finally decided to take a break. As always, Kyle checks his mail because he was emailing this girl that lived a city away. He was all about her. She had his heart, and they were a pretty cute couple. She was a gamer as well, and would game with us from time to time. As Kyle checked his mail, an email subject named: "Boo" came up. Kyle just deleted it and went on. After a few hours, Kyle checked his email again and saw that same email. As curiosity grew in his thoughts, he clicked the mail. Only seeing a blank page with the letters B-O-O written in the middle of the page. It didn't make any sense, so he called his friends over to look at it. And as they observed, he explained what happened. We just laughed and messed his hair up. He closed his laptop and left.
The next day, we all returned to our computers and logged on. But Kyle's computer was never shut down. He said: "I turned this computer off before I left, did one of you guys go on it?" We shook our heads no. Our number one rule was to never go on each other's computers without permission. Kyle looked through his files and history to see if anything was missing or unordinary. As he searched through his files, he noticed a file named "Boo". He believed one of us was screwing with him. He tried deleting the file but it always came up as "Error." Sighing in his chair, he knew that spam mail gave him a virus called "Boo." Running his virus protection, the computer didn't detect a virus. It was clean as a whistle. Ignoring it now, he went on gaming.
Later during the gaming, in the corner of the computer screen, a bubble popped up saying "Boo logged in." Exiting out on the game, he clicked on the bubble, and the command prompt popped up. It slowly typed out the letter B-O-O. We came around and stood behind Kyle noticing the weird phenomenon. Maybe someone was messing with him? We all watched Kyle turn his computer off this time. But this time, Kyle took his laptop home. His curiosity was through the roof and was wondering how this entity was on his software. Returning home, he opened his laptop and it was on again. This time, the file "Boo" had a notepad file inside. Kyle pressed on it and noticed something strange about this letter. It described a murder of cases that were unsolved or written as a homicide. Kyle wasn't sure what to do. To call the police? To tell someone? What if they blamed me for the murders? Closing his laptop, he laid in bed. Taking some sleeping pills to help him sleep.
The next morning, he woke up noticing the laptop open. Focusing his eyes, he noticed the file "Boo" was open again. But this time, pictures and audio were evolved. Sliding through the pictures were the victims of the murder with their names written on the bottom. Tears rolled down Kyles face, how did he get this information? Why did he? How could someone do this to a human being? The victims were burned and tortured. Some of them went missing forever. Weeping as he kept looking at the pictures, the last picture had an audio with it. He played the audio as only heard was static noise and a few voices crying out for help. In the end of the audio a man said: "Do my undoing." as the audio ended, his computer went black. Only a play button on the screen. Wiping his tears, he clicked the button. More static noise raised as fast pictures of a man operating on human beings. Opening their belly's, cutting out their eyes and tongue, and carving some type of language all over their skin. At the end of the video he spoke out to Kyle saying: "Do my undoing." Kyle slowly shut the computer and cried. He didn't go to school, he never ate or even left his room. This information traumatized him. As he was only 15.
A few weeks later he was put in the hospital for care. We had no idea what happened that night, only that someone was messing with him. When we came and visited him in the hospital, he didn't say a word. He didn't even look at us. He just kept looking up as tears rolled out of his sorrowful eyes. He wasn't the same anymore. It was terrifying seeing him that way. More weeks came by, and he never came back to us. He was still laying in the hospital saying nothing and doing nothing. Just waiting to die.
A year has gone by, and the news came on. The reporter sadly reported that the hospital was the site of a man being slaughtered and burning. I cried, and cried. Hoping Kyle was out and okay. Fearing the worse, I knew he was gone. The police had no evidence of who killed all those people in the hospital. Some patients were missing eyes, others had carvings in their skin. It was one of the worst massacres in history. A lot of the bodies were missing, people were missing. Kyle was one of those missing people. Manteno Mental Hospital was the name of the hospital where Kyle was last seen. The police took Kyles computer and read the "Boo" file. They first believed Kyle killed all those people, but retracing where the email "Boo" was from found it was from an old grave yard. The police dug the grave yard up and found an inhuman figure. Scientist researched this entity and never found something like this before. It matched no DNA or any animal. The scientist stored this figure away, and called it "Boo."
Later on, more spam mail of "Boo" occurred in boys email boxes. They all traced back to the inhuman figure Boo. They say he was cursed by witches and in sacrificing rituals. His soul is still with us. Priests have him buried inside the church being exorcised every year before New Years. They believe he is the Omen.
If you see an email subject of "Boo", don't open it. Other kids that have opened this email resulted in them going crazy, committing suicide or killing their family. After their deed would be done, they go missing and never return. Over 200 kids have gone missing. All resulted from the email "Boo."
If you receive an email "Boo." Please contact the police, and whatever you do.
DO NOT OPEN IT.
