Cluing In
By the time Beckett arrived at the precinct, Castle and the boys were already waiting for her. Ryan and Espo were waiting the break room. Castle had been in the break room but came out to meet up with Beckett when he saw her step off the elevator. Beckett had been worried on what Espo would think about the job offer. She didn't want him to be mad with her at all.
Beckett could see the concern in Castle's eyes.
"Where are the kids?"
"James Royce is with my mother and they'll pick JM and the twins when it's time."
"Okay." Beckett said as they walked to the break room together.
"What's going on; Kate? Why did you rush out of the loft?"
"I tell you in a second."
"What's going on?" Ryan asked when Castle and Beckett rejoined them.
"I had a meeting with the commissioner at 1PP…"
"Okay?" Espo said.
"He offered me a job."
"What and where?" Castle asked.
"He offered me the Captain position within the homicide unit at the 5 – 4."
Beckett waited for responses. She knew about Espo's history with the 54th.
"That's great news. Have you decided what you're going to do?" Espo asked.
Beckett breathed a sigh of relief after Espo spoke.
"I haven't decided yet. There's a lot to consider before the final decision is made."
"Take your time."
"I will."
"If you decide to take the job; I'll come over to the 54th with you." Ryan said.
Everyone knew that Castle would follow Beckett to the 54th if she decided to take the job.
"Thanks Kev."
Espo was the only hold out at the moment.
"I'm in too."
"Thanks Javi."
The day continued on and Beckett kept on thinking about the job offer. This wasn't going to be easy.
This decision would take time. Beckett knew she had to do what was right for her and for her family. It wasn't just her anymore.
