Here is chapter 15 for you!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Castle
Her phone buzzed. Kate checked the caller ID and smiled. It was none other than Rick Castle. She answered the phone.
"Hey," she greeted.
"Hey. Can I steal you away for lunch?"
"You know, I'd love to but I'm busy with a case right now."
"Oh, that's cool."
"Yeah, rain check on that lunch date?"
"You got it," he said, though Kate could tell that he was disappointed.
"Hey, I love you," Kate said softly.
"I love you too. But Kate? Do me a favour? Please remember to eat something and don't overwork yourself."
"I make no promises but I'll try. Maybe I'll grab a donut later," she joked.
"Spoken like a true police officer. Cliche in so many ways. Looks like I'm rubbing off on you."
"Looks like. Hey, I gotta go. Talk to you soon."
"Come home in one piece."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too," with that Kate hanged up the phone, just in time to see Montgomery bringing in Cam's brother, Kevin Walker. Zach was right, he was a big ass man.
Kate walked into the interrogation room.
"Kevin Walker."
"What do you want with me, Officer? I did nothing wrong."
"Oh really?" Kate sat down.
"Is it true that every military personnel such as yourself is issued a hunting knife?" Kate asked.
"Yeah, so? It's standard issue."
"Is that so? Then why did we find your hunting knife a few blocks from our crime scene?" She pulled out a picture of the knife and showed it to him.
"Whoa! Whoa! Hold up! I did not kill anyone! I mean, yeah that's my knife but I didn't kill anyone! Someone stole my knife a few days ago when I got back."
"So you're saying you had nothing to do with murder? Your knife just so happens to be there?"
"Yes. Who's the victim by the way?"
"Cameron Walker, your sister."
"Cam's dead? Oh god..."
"What ever you think I did, I didn't do anything! I loved my sister! I wouldn't dare to hurt her, let alone murder her!"
"Okay then. Where were you between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m?" Kate asked.
"I got home at around 10 and then I left and went to a bar nearby with my friends. I stayed until 3 a.m. and then crashed at a friend's house."
"You can check," he added.
"I intend to. Do you know anyone that would want to hurt your sister?"
"Her boyfriend, maybe. Or his brother. The Masterson brothers had a thing for Cam but Cam chose Zach instead of Elliot."
"Thank you for your time, Mr Walker."
"Officer? Can you find my sister's killer? What he did to Cam... My sister didn't deserve such a fate."
"I'll do everything I can, Mr Walker." With that, Kate left the interrogation room.
Kate's phone buzzed. It was from Lanie. She then headed to the morgue.
"Hey Lanie," Kate greeted her friend.
"Hey."
"What do you have for me?"
"I was right. The vic bleed to death. But she was first struck at her spine, causing her to be paralyzed from the waist down."
"Before she could recover from her initial shock, the killer struck her in the stomach and left her to die. There was no sign of struggle which suggest..."
"She knew and trusted the killer. Talk about back stabbing."
"Speaking of back stabbing, I can't believe that you didn't tell me about writer boy!"
"What?"
"Honey, don't lie to me. I've seen you two in tabloids and magazines. Are you two serious?"
"Yeah... He asked me to move in on my birthday and I said yes."
"Oh my god! Details, girl!"
"Later. I have to get back. Thanks, Lanie!"
Beckett headed back to the precinct. Kate walked back to the bullpen as the elevator dinged. Out came Richard Castle, holding two cups of coffee.
"Castle? What are you doing here?"
"I came to give you this," he handed her the cup of coffee. "I figured you needed the caffeine."
"Grande Skim Latte with two pumps of sugar free vanilla... Rick, how did you know?"
"I know everything," he teased.
"Thank you."
"So how's the case coming?"
"Brutal but I got a lead."
"Who is it?"
"Boyfriend's brother but I can't get a hold of him. Elliot Masterson."
"The Elliot Masterson? The son of Eric Masterson? Brother to the dropout Zachariah Masterson?"
"You know him?"
"I know of him. Elliot hasn't talked to his brother ever since he dropout. He took over Masterson Inc. when his father passed away late last year."
"He's one of the youngest and smartest business man in history. What? You look like you just saw something..." Rick said.
"You just helped me solved my case!" Kate exclaimed. She gave him a peck on the cheek before running away.
"Um... You're welcome."
In the interrogation room, Zach Masterson was waiting impatiently. Kate walked in.
"What am I doing here? I told you guys everything!"
"Not everything. You lied to us about your whereabouts on the night of the murder."
"What? No, I didn't!"
"We called your brother, Zach! He said he hasn't seen or spoken to you since you dropped out."
"We found a partial fingerprint on the handle of the knife that was used to stab Cam in the back and then in the stomach!"
"It matched with yours. That's thief and murder, Zach. If you confess now, maybe I can drop the thief charges."
"She cheated on me! Did you know that? With my own brother! She lied to my face when I caught them together! I loved her!"
Kate took out a picture and showed it to him. It was a picture of Zach, Cam and Elliot when they were younger. Kate also took out a note and handed it to him.
"She didn't cheat on you. She wanted to surprise you on your birthday. She wanted you to have your brother back."
He took the picture and began sobbing.
"Zachariah Masterson, you're under arrest for the murder of Cameron Walker."
"Good work, Beckett," Roy complimented.
"Thank you, Detective."
"That's Captain to you, Detective Beckett," Roy said.
"What?" Kate asked.
"Captain Jones retiring early. As of today, I'm your new captain and you're my new detective."
"I don't know what to say... Thank you, sir."
"Looks like your hard work really paid off seeing that you're the youngest ever to make detective."
"Wow... Thank you, sir."
"Alright. You get the rest of the night off. Come tomorrow, you'll get your detective badge and your new partner."
"Partner, sir?"
"Yeah... He's ex-special forces. He's transferring from the 54th. Name's Detective Javier Esposito."
"Great," she said sarcastically.
"See you tomorrow, detective," Roy said before leaving.
Kate Beckett dragged her feet to the loft and as soon as she saw the couch, she walked towards it and flopped on it. Rick walked out of his office and saw her.
"Hey. Did you catch the guy?"
"Yeah, I did. What are you doing up anyways?"
"I don't know... I think I write better at night. Want some wine?"
"I love some," she said as she sat up.
Rick came back and handed her a glass of red wine.
"Hey, you okay?" Rick asked.
After she took a gulp of her wine, she sat it down on the table and looked up at him.
"I just got promoted to Detective."
"What?" he smiled.
"I start tomorrow," she said as a smile crept on her face.
"Kate, that's great news! You're like the youngest ever to be a detective!" he exclaimed.
"I know and now I have a new partner. His name is Esposito. He's ex-special forces."
"That is so COOL!"
He sat his glass down and got up. Castle pulled Beckett up with him. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in.
"Hmm... Detective Kate Beckett... There's a nice ring to it."
"Yeah, it does," Kate said.
"Well, detective, this calls for a celebration," he said.
"What do you have in mind, Mr Castle?"
He pulled her in and gave her a passionate kiss.
That's it for now. The names Cameron "Cam" Walker, Zachariah "Zach" Masterson, Elliot Masterson and Kevin Walker are all my own characters. They are in my own story called Freedom Fighters. If you guys are interested, chapter one is on WattPad under the name AlexaMWise which is also a character name. The case is my own case. I got a message from a friend about an unsolved murder and I found it odd that the guy got away with it. So being the geeky detective that I am, I made into a case. I changed it a bit here and there but it's still my own.
1) What do you think?
2) I added Roy Montgomery because I just had too. He's a cool character.
3) What do you think will happen now that Esposito is coming in the fanfic?
4) Did you guys like the case? I'm not really good at writing crime stuff so I need to know what you think.
This may be the only chapters (14 & 15) that has an actual case unless you guys come up with something or unless you guys want more. PM me if you guys have any suggestions.
