That was Yesterday 2

Chapter 11

It was now one month later.

Rick had Kate, Victoria, and Martha around him. "I've found a hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rica. It's the San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino," he told them.
Kate rolled her eyes as soon as he said the word Casino. "Figures."
"As I was saying, it's a large ocean view room, guest room, two double, ocean view, cabana building. It has a lovely view of the ocean.
"We'll have to fly there and get a car. There are a lot of things we could do there. There is a Half-Day El Yunque Rainforest and Waterslide Guided Tour. Or we could do an Elevated Sunset or Night Dinner with an Ocean View (four courses), an ATV Single Rider Adventure at Hacienda Campo Rico, or the Authentic Flavors of San Juan Food Tour. There is also the Savor the Sunset: Old San Juan Walking Food Tour or the Old San Juan Bar Crawl: Experience Local Hotspots.
"What do you think?" Rick was highly excited at the prospect of getting to go someplace else. "Oh, the car will be a Ford Explorer," he added.
Kate spoke up first. "Puerto Rico. It's close. I especially like the ATV ride, Food Tours, and Bar Crawl."

"I like the food tours, maybe the Bar Crawl," Victoria told them. "But you don't have to do this on my account."
"You gave us an excuse to go somewhere. We're just dragging you along with us, Victoria," Kate said with a smile. "What about you, Martha?"
"I like the idea of the food tours and maybe the Bar Crawl, depending on what they have. Preferably wine," Martha replied.
"Well, maybe Kate and I can go on the ATV tour. But you're all in?" Rick asked them. He watched their nodding heads. "Great! Now we just need to decide when. I was thinking of five days and four nights in San Juan. Now, Christmas is out, so sometime after that, maybe."
Kate looked at Victoria. "It's up to you. We're here all day, every day."
"Perhaps January 10 to 14, maybe," Victoria replied hesitantly.
"January 10 to 14 it is then. I'll arrange the flight, rental car, and Hotel. This trip is going to be fun." Rick couldn't wait. He wanted to go ATV riding in the worst way.
Kate rolled her eyes again. "I know you; you just want to go ATV riding."
"Guilty as charged." Rick grinned gleefully. "This is going to be so much fun!"

Kate caught up to Rick while he was making arrangements. "Anything on Bracken?" she asked him.
"Oh, him. Yeah, he swept his way into the Presidency. He won every State," Rick replied. "The other guy never stood a chance."
"Damn it. If they knew what we knew, it wouldn't even have a chance," Kate told him. "Damn it! Now, what do we do? He'll have access to nearly everything. FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ. You name it."
"We continue to hide. And we don't use our names during this trip," Rick said.
"Victoria doesn't even know our fake names, Babe," Kate reminded him.
"She does call me Rick, not Castle, so we're safe there," he commented. "I need to cut my hair and dye it again. Probably you, as well. Alexis isn't going, so she's safe. We'll have to be careful."
"I guess. Damn it," Kate cursed again. "We have to put up with this for four years."
"That's if he doesn't get re-elected," Rick pointed out, and Kate glared at him.
Rick returned to planning their trip.

Christmas was here, and Rick didn't have a single Christmas thing. Not a single solitary light, no Christmas tree. He had tried ordering a fake tree, but it didn't arrive in time. So he and maybe, to a lesser extent, Alexis were depressed.
All they had were presents, some of which were shipped in and some local. It was all they had. But they had a Christmas meal. It was ham with side dishes that even Kate helped cook.
Christmas was still a hit, but it could have been much more.
Then, his Christmas tree appeared two days before they went on vacation.
"Now it shows up." Rick was depressed all over again.
"At least we get to put it up next year, Dad. Maybe you should order the Christmas lights now. Just in case it takes them months to get here," Alexis suggested.
"Next year is going to be epic, or I'm not Richard Castle," he swore.
"Well, at least you get to go on vacation. Vicki and I get to go to school." Alexis was depressed all over again.
"You're sure you two will be alright? One of you will have to do all the cooking," Rick reminded her.
Alexis thought about it. "We may eat out a lot. Just make sure you leave us enough money, please."
"Fine, is $200 enough?" Rick asked as he handed over $200 in cash.
"It's enough, Dad, thanks. Make sure you have a good trip," Alexis told him.
Rick smiled. "We're going to go ATV riding. It can't be anything but fun."
"Could be raining," Alexis pointed out.
"I'm not listening. La, la, la, la." Rick covered his ears, getting Alexis to smile and shake her head.

It was finally time to go. Each had a single carry-on bag. The four were staying only five days and four nights. They didn't think they needed much more.
They had an 8:40 am flight out that landed at 9:20. It was a puddle jumper, and they were flying Silver Airways. Neither Rick nor Kate had heard of it before, and they discovered it was a turboprop plane. They walked out in the open and up the stairs to get into it after they went through Security. They each took their passport, and Kate kept her mouth shut. She didn't want to screw up her accent. Plus, Victoria didn't know she was a Russian.
Once they were through Security, Kate was in the clear.

They took a taxi to their Hotel, and they got a room. "I guess Kate and I get a bed while you and Mother get the other bed," Rick told them.
Kate tossed her bag on a bed. "What's first? We only have five days."
There was much to choose from: ATV Single Rider Adventure at Hacienda Campo Rico, Authentic Flavors of San Juan Food Tour. Savor the Sunset: Old San Juan Walking Food Tour. Old San Juan Bar Crawl: Experience Local Hotspots.
"The pub crawl can be our last night here. The food tours are evening tours. The ATV tour is daytime. It's only about 10:00 am. We could try that today," Rick suggested.
"You two have fun. Victoria and I will be fine. It's a nice hotel," Martha told them.
Kate looked at Rick. "Let's go before it gets too late." She turned toward Martha and Victoria. "Don't do something I wouldn't," Kate said, walking out of the room with Rick in tow.
"I don't think there's anything she wouldn't do," Victoria joked with Martha.
"Come on, let's look around. Maybe walk the grounds and the surrounding area," Martha told Victoria, and they left.

Rick and Kate made the day's last tour and had a blast.
Rick punched the air. "That was EPIC!"
"It was fun," Kate agreed.
"Fun? That's all you've got? Fun? Badass Beckett has gotten soft on me," Rick sighed, his eyes twinkling.
"It was fun," Kate told him, and they went back to their hotel room, where they found Martha and Victoria missing. So they waited for them.
It wasn't too long before Martha and Victoria showed up. "We found a place for dinner: 1950 Condado - Puertorican Cuisine. It looks nice and is only a block away," Victoria said, looking from one of them to the other.
"Lead the way," Rick declared.

They decided to spend their time at the beach and the pool. They each had brought a swimsuit, although Martha thought she looked terrible wearing hers.
Then, they went on their first food tour, the Authentic Flavors of San Juan Food Tour.
It was fun and flavorful, and they all enjoyed it. Then they went to bed, each dressed in pajamas, though Kate hadn't worn them since she got to St. Croix.
The following morning, they went to the hotel's restaurant, and at lunch, they waited for the next food tour.
It was the Savor the Sunset: Old San Juan Walking Food Tour. It was full of old-world restaurants and not one of the previous tour places. It was good, and it was fun, and they were full. Stuffed was more like it.
Then they went to bed, woke up in the morning, and spent the day at the beach and the pool again, waiting until it was time for their Old San Juan Bar Crawl: Experience Local Hotspots.
Kate was alone, but not alone. Rick and the others were right over there testing a local beer. She was returning from the bathroom.
"BECKETT!" Kate heard a voice call out, so she looked around and spotted someone running toward her. "It's really you, isn't it?" Lanie panted.
"Lanie, what are you doing here?" Kate took her by the arm and dragged her outside and around the corner. "Start talking and make it fast," Kate hissed.
Lanie stared at her. "What have you done to your hair?"
Kate shook her. "Answer my question, or I'll have no choice but to kill you. Do you understand, Lanie?"
"I understand. Jeez, Beckett. You were dead, so I quit where I was working and got a job here in San Juan. Ryan and Esposito quit the 12th and they both took jobs in Seattle. Girlfriend, what's going on? You're dead."
"And I need to stay that way. Do you understand me?" Kate asked her. "I'm dead, and I have got to stay that way, or I really will be dead. Very, very dead."
"Why? I don't understand. Kate, you are my best friend. Please help me understand. Please?" Lanie pleaded. "I thought you were dead."

"Fine. I found out who ordered my death. The man is powerful, Lanie, beyond powerful, above-the-law type of power. In a way, he is the law. So I faked my death, and I'm in hiding. I can't tell you where. But if he finds out I'm alive and anywhere near here, I'm dead. So you can't tell anyone, not the guys or anyone. Not ever. If you do, you'll kill me," Kate warned her.
"You know who shot you? And, of course, you can't tell me who." Lanie sighed. "Jeez, Kate, you know how to make a mess."
"It's so good to see you, Lanie." Kate hugged her and got hugged in return. "Do you still have your phone?"
Lanie shook her head. "No, I changed it when I got here. I'm the only Medical Examiner at this place. It keeps me busy that way," she said, taking out her phone and showing it to her.
"Unlock it for me," Kate told her. She watched her do that, and she took the phone from her. Kate memorized the number, repeating it to make sure. "I'll try and call you from time to time, but "Why? I don't understand. Kate, you are my best friend. Please help me understand. Please?" Lanie pleaded. "I thought you were dead."
"Fine. I found out who ordered my death. The man is powerful, Lanie, beyond powerful, above-the-law type of power. In a way, he is the law. So I faked my death, and I'm in hiding. I can't tell you where. But if he finds out I'm alive and anywhere near here, I'm dead. So you can't tell anyone, not the guys or anyone. Not ever. If you do, you'll kill me," Kate warned her.
"You know who shot you? And, of course, you can't tell me who." Lanie sighed. "Jeez, Kate, you know how to make a mess."
"It's so good to see you, Lanie." Kate hugged her and got hugged in return. "Do you still have your phone?"
Lanie shook her head. "No, I changed it when I got here. I'm the only Medical Examiner at this place. It keeps me busy that way," she said, taking out her phone and showing it to her.
"Unlock it for me," Kate told her. She watched her do that, and she took the phone from her. Kate memorized the number, repeating it to make sure. "I'll try and call you from time to time, but no promises." Kate gave her back the phone.
"How much danger are you in, Kate?" Lanie asked her.
"A lot, a whole hell of a lot," Kate replied. "Hiding is my only recourse. So you didn't see me or know where I am if anyone asks you. As far as you know, I'm dead. I'm sorry, Lanie, but it has to stay that way."
"You promise to call me?" Lanie asked her, hoping.
Kate nodded. "Just as soon as I can buy a burner phone using cash. I'll call you, I promise. But now you need to leave here. Go home, Lanie. I need you to go home."
"It's good to see you, Kate." Lanie hugged her and broke down in tears. "I thought you were dead."
"I am dead, Lanie, and I have to stay that way, or I really will be dead. Now go." Kate released her and watched her walk away while looking back at her.
Kate wondered why she was here, of all places. Why San Juan? She went back inside and finished the tour. She wished she could tell Rick, but Victoria and Martha were there, so she was forced to wait.

Kate had to wait until they were home, then told Rick everything.
Rick paced as he ran his hand through his hair. "You sure she won't talk? Because if she does, St. Croix will be just a hop away from Puerto Rico."
"I trust her," Kate insisted. "She's my best friend, Rick."
"I get that, but she could be bought, threatened, or coerced into talking, Kate. We don't know what Bracken is capable of," Rick warned her.
"I know, but she was crying. She also told me the guys took jobs in Seattle. Why Seattle? Unless..." Kate came up with an idea.
"Unless?" Rick questioned her.
"Montgomery's replacement was someone named Gates, Victoria Gates. She cut her teeth in Internal Affairs. Internal Affairs thinks all cops are automatically guilty. It could be the guys quit because of her. But I can't think why they would do that," Kate said.
"This makes no sense. Lanie moved to San Juan, and she thought I was dead, and she was crying. I don't understand." Kate looked at Rick. "I memorized her new phone. All I need is a burner phone, and I can call her. Ask her questions."
"You sure that's a good idea? I get that she's your best friend, but we don't know Bracken's reach. I'm not saying he sent her there, just that she might be compromised," Rick cautioned. "I'm just trying to keep us all alive here. Me, you, Alexis, Mother, and Victoria and Vicki."
"AAAH!" Kate screamed. "I get it, I do. I don't want to think that of her. Or the guys who may or may not be in Seattle. GOD, I hate this." Kate was freaking out.
Rick took her in his arms. "You could be right. Bracken may have nothing to do with this. But can we take the risk? Our hiding is all we've got, Kate. And the FBI might be able to learn our names using the tour operator, run a search, and learn where we are.
"God, if we have to move again, I don't have the money to do that. And we don't have any weapons." Now Rick was freaking out.
"If I use a burner phone and call her, it'll have to be short, and then I'll have to destroy it. They might be able to trace a burner phone. If she's involved… AAH!" Kate yelled again.
"I hate this, Rick. I hate this so much," Kate told him. "I promised her I would call her. And what she's doing in San Juan?"
"Okay, okay, we need to think this through," Rick said, trying his best to stay calm.

Flashback to two days ago

"Do you want to try this thing?" Vicki held up the Strap-On, which was still in its package.
"What the hell? Let's give it a try." Alexis took off her bikini while Vicki took off hers. "Where do you want me?" Alexis asked her.
"Well, I'm going to fuck not just your pussy but your ass, too," Vicki told her.
"Ooh, kinky. I think I like kinky Vicki," Alexis told her as she got on her bed on all fours and waited for Vicki.
First, she had to get it from its package and then figure out how to put it on. In the meantime, Alexis was getting wet, anticipating what was coming.
So Vicki got on the bed on her knees and lined up her cock with Alexis's pussy.

This section is rated M for a reason. Reader discretion is advised.

Vicki carefully inserted her cock into Alexis's pussy, causing her to moan just a little. Then she slowly started to fuck her pussy.

Eventually, she was pounding her pussy just as fast and as hard as she could.
"YES, fuck my pussy," Alexis moaned. "I'm going to come."
Vicki kept on fucking her pussy. She wanted Alexis to come almost as bad as she did.
Then Alexis climaxed by crying out as her pussy spasmed all over her cock. Not that Vicki could feel any of this. But Vicki stopped fucking her pussy, and she just stayed there and rested for a bit.
Then she pulled out of her pussy and lined her cock up with Alexis's ass.

"Careful," Alexis said to her.
"I will be." Vicki knew her pussy wasn't a virgin because she didn't encounter any resistance. Not so her ass. She slowly inserted it into her ass. She met some resistance, and she pushed her way through it.
"Relax, will you? It'll hurt less that way," Vicki told her.
"I'm trying to," Alexis replied. "It just feels funny." Then, just like that, Vicki was in all the way. Every inch of her cock was now in her ass.
Vicki rested there and gave Alexis a minute to adjust to her being in her ass then she slowly started to fuck her.
"YES, fuck my ass," Alexis panted, which told Vicki to speed it up and to fuck her harder. Soon she was pounding away in her ass. Alexis was moaning louder and louder.

But Alexis didn't climax like she had when Vicki fucked her pussy. Eventually, Vicki got tired and pulled out of her ass. "Did I do that?" Vicki questioned her.
"What?" Alexis asked her.
"Your ass is so wide open," Vicki told her, and she couldn't resist putting her cock back in her ass and going back to fucking her.

It is now safe to read. Thank you for reading with care.

They were both naked in Alexis's bed, wrapped up in each other arms. Vicki had long since taken off the Strap-On. "So what did you think?" Vicki asked her.
"We're so doing that again. Next time, I'll do you," Alexis said.
"Ooh." Vicki liked the sound of that. If Alexis loved it, she would love it too. Even if it was more of a guy thing. But having Alexis doing the fucking she thought would make all the difference.
"I love you, Lex." The words suddenly leaked out, and Vicki cringed at what Alexis would say.
"You love me? I love you too, Vic. So very much." And she kissed her to reinforce her point.
Vicki blinked. "You do? Flat-chested me and all?"
"Yes, flat-chested you and all. I'll prove it to you." And Alexis arranged them into a 69, where they ate each other's pussy.
