This continues on with the 'John T. Doe' case that Beckett and Castle were working on, and builds in room for an upcoming story when Beckett goes to see Dr. Hunt…on business. (This was previously its own story, I just consolidated.)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN CASTLE OR BOP. Got it? Good. Let's move on to the story…(We know this already...)
"I heard you got some action this weekend, Detective Beckett." Castle slyly spoke in his partner's ear. He sat quietly in his chair and sipped his coffee, but waggled his eyebrows as if he wanted details. Beckett moved really close to him, and whispered, "Oh you have no idea how much action I got this weekend, Castle." She loved teasing him. She really did; and it wasn't until she had gotten up for another espresso that she realized he wasn't going to let this go.
"So, who did you make your bitch this weekend?" Castle asked, sliding up next to Beckett in a cool and calm manner. Beckett just gave him a look and went back to making her coffee. "Oh, Castle…there is just so much you don't know about me…" She drifted off, reminiscing on the most fantastic weekend she had ever experienced with the lovely Dr. Megan Hunt.
Detective Beckett kept quiet, even as she walked back to her desk and started on her paperwork again. Suddenly, she received a phone call, and she and Castle looked at the phone in one smooth motion before looking at each other at the same time. Beckett picked up her phone, and answered calmly, "Detective Beckett".
She spoke to the person on the other end of the line for a few minutes before hanging up and grabbing her coat to leave. "Wait, has Lanie or the guys got something for us?" Castle asked, suddenly excited about the case.
"Dr. Parrish has some information about Mr. Doe she thinks we might find interesting." Beckett said, walking onto the elevator with Castle only a mere footstep behind her.
Castle and Beckett walked into the morgue just as Lanie had closed the door to where their body was to be stored. Castle began to pout for a second, but Lanie stopped him. "Don't worry writer boy, your other M.E. Dr. Hunt took some awesome pictures, just so I don't have to drag out Mr. Doe's body again and again." Lanie spread out the vast amount of pictures of the body, and picked out a specific few to talk about.
The three talked about the body and the case for several minutes, both Castle and Beckett finishing each other's sentences like normal, with Lanie commenting on how cute it is, and then finally another lead on the investigation. "But that means…" Castle began, "Yep. Doe's best friend lives in Philadelphia, so we are taking a road trip." Beckett finished, looking at Lanie the whole time. "Well next time you get to see your girlfriend, tell her I said 'thanks' for filling in on the case." Lanie added, just as Castle and Beckett were about to turn to leave. Beckett then gave Lanie the evil eye in an instant.
Castle cocked a naughty eyebrow for a moment, not having to deduce at all who Lanie was talking about. "Oh, Katherine Beckett, you naughty little minx" Castle quipped, looking directly at Beckett with a smile, who was turning 3 shades of red. "I don't have a girlfriend in Philly Kate, and I certainly didn't have one over the weekend as I recall so since you happen to be the only other person in the room, Kate…" Beckett refused to look at Castle. Oh how she could kill him in this very instant!
"Come on Castle, I'll give you details on the way back to the precinct." Kate cocked an eyebrow, still giving Lanie the evil eye, but decided to have some fun. If she had to go to Philadelphia with him, then what could be more fun than talking about how much fun she had that weekend?
"So basically what you are saying is…" Castle finished as they pulled into the parking garage for the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's office building. "What I'm saying IS…Castle…" Beckett paused for a moment and then smiled. "I was in need of some long awaited fun, and I certainly got it this weekend!"
This upcoming story has yet to be named, so keep a look-out! I'll stick Castle with the guys just so he doesn't get too bored on the trip.
A/N: The sequel to this is "A Flame Rekindled" look for it on my profile! :]
