Castle’s changed a lot in since I met him, but I still wasn’t prepared for this.
Even when I consider that he helped pull me and Ryan out of that warehouse and tried to take a bullet for Beckett, this still blows me away.
But I can’t argue it. Every single hostage said the same thing.
Castle didn’t even blink when that lunatic had a gun to his throat.
Somehow, I don’t think the man I met four years ago could’ve managed that.
But the Castle I know now did.
I shake my head as I flip open another eyewitness report that I don’t have to read and shouldn’t even have. It reads like the rest. Castle, in charge and scary calm, the whole time.
Huh.
I’ll be damned if Castle hasn’t gone from playboy to pro.
Damn good thing, too.
Cuz with this thing he and Beckett like to pretend they don’t have going on right under my nose, I can’t help but feel a little twitchy sometimes.
And if he went back to his old ways… if he jerked her around… well…
I do believe I’d have to kill him.
That is, if Beckett didn’t do it first.
