Hamptons Holiday

In the days leading up to Memorial Day and Memorial Day weekend; Castle and Beckett had decided that they were heading to The Hamptons a few days ahead of their family. Some alone time for the duo was needed since they rarely got any time together since Beckett had taken the Captain position. They also didn't want Johanna Martha and the twins missing any school. The game plan was for Martha to come up Friday afternoon with all of her grandkids and Jake once Johanna Martha and the twins were done with school until after the holiday.

So after they brought Johanna Martha and the twins to school that morning, after they dropped James Royce off with Alexis and Jake; Castle and Beckett made the trek to their home in the Hamptons.

"Hopefully we won't have any distractions like we did when you first brought me here."

"What kind of cold-blooded killer takes a nap on the beach after shooting someone?"

"Castle, I'm on vacation. If I wanted to investigate a murder, I would have stayed in the city."

"A guy died in my backyard."

"It's not our case."

"Still, you have to admit as cases go it's pretty weak."

"It's still not our case and if you keep obsessing over this it's going to ruin the weekend."

"So what do we do?"

"Maybe we just try putting it out of our minds, hmm?"

"Real subtle; Kate."

"I thought it was."

"Bye."

"Bye! Let's go."

"Please."

The duo then remembered the rest of the time at The Hamptons.

"You know what's funny? My cover was that I was coming out here to write and I actually got an idea for a book."

"Oh, Hamptons Heat. So you were serious about that, huh?"

"Well I already have the story. That's the hardest part."

"So, do you have an ending yet?"

"Oh, well… I had some ideas, but uh… I'm open to suggestions."

"How about this? The weekend hadn't turned out exactly as Detective Heat had imagined, but now nothing…. not even another murder on the beach, could stop her from getting exactly what she desired most."

"Hmm…that's good."

"Can I get a writer's credit for it?"

"We'll talk."

"Okay."

"I know what we're doing tonight!" Castle eagerly exclaimed.

"What else would we do?" Beckett posed.

Castle smiled at his wife's quip. He knew that Beckett was joking. After that they continued their drive up to The Hamptons.
