Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.

It was a monday and the 12th precint was buzzing with activity when Castle came in. Beckett could tell Castle wasn't himself he didn't ask why it was so busy and he had the lost and slightly angry expression on his face.

"Hey Castle you okay ?" Beckett asked.

"Yeah I'm fine" Castle replied obviously distracted.

Its been over an hour now and Castle still hasn't said anything except now he is staring into space.

Castle was pulled from his staring by the shrill ring of his phone but he denied the call and slamed it face down on Beckett's desk repeatedly until the screen was successfully smashed and his face red from anger.

"Castle what's up and don't say nothing." Beckett said obviously concerned.

"I'll make you a deal" Castle said "Your not getting all my secrets for nothing"

"What kind of deal ?" Beckett asked suspicously.

"You spend the rest of the day with me and I'll tell you why i'm so angry deal ?" Castle said. Beckett couldn't help but see the flash of hope in his eyes.

Beckett smirked and said "Castle I have paperwork to do" Beckett said in a light tone and Castle could see the disappointment on her face.

"Leave it to me." Castle said as he got up and walked to the captains office.

Castle came out of the Captain's office 5 minutes later with a smile on his face and said "Come on Detective you're wasting valuable hours come on chop chop get your stuff." And before Beckett could reply he was walking off to the elevator and Beckett was rushing after him her bag in one hand and her jacket in the other.

"So Castle where are we going ?" Beckett asked with a small smile on her face.

"Why just one place Detective ?" Castle said with the first smile Beckett has seen today. "Oh, and Detective bring spare clothes." Castle said as he walked out of the elevator and out onto the busy streets.

2 minutes later Beckett recieved a text.

C: Be at mine in half hour spare clothes and walking shoes not heels.

B: Why walking shoes ?

C: We're going to place one

After that Beckett knew today was gonna be something different.
