Castle Fic - Waiting Game, Chapter 2

8:35 am 12th precinct, Beckett’s desk

"Cat-burglars and ferrets!”  Kate leaned back in her chair, finally drinking her coffee, and watched as Castle paced back and forth in front of her desk, too keyed up to sit still. “This is the best morning ever! Is it always this fun when you don’t have a case?  I should randomly come in more often.”

Aww..the ending!

Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

I'm glad you're liking it! Castle tonight, hooray!:)

This is absolutely fantastic, and that last line is wooooooonderful...

"I think it’s obvious. Esposito here has been developing an unhealthy relationship with the corpses, which is not only against the law, but is against regulations. Unless you report it. Anything you want to tell us, buddy? We won’t judge. Or at least we won’t tell you we’re judging."

Hehee.

I just realized I'm being kind of rough on Esposito in this.:) Thanks so much for reading.:)

Wow...so good! And such fun to read! I love all the insights into the Beckett/Castle confusion, Kate's constant denial, Castle's torn attempt at distance, it's all delicious. And I love your Gates and the case...can't wait for a sword swallower or something to end up dead so they can jump into it.

Oh, thanks, I'm glad you're liking it! And a sword swallower is a great idea.:) I keep thinking up possible circle act inclusions and then being like, "but an elephant won't fit in the precinct" etc. :)

Very nice and funny.
It was only when I watched the 2nd season of Castle, I knew that 'going commando' means not wear any underwear!
If I may ask you a question, in all organizations in America, is inter-office romance not permitted or is it just in law enforcement? In South Asia where I live, in banks, married couples can't work in the same department but in other places like schools (where I work), there are plenty of dating couples.

Thank you so much for such a nice comment!:) Truthfully, I have no idea what the rule is with inter-office dating in law enforcement. I'm pretty sure cops/detectives would not be allowed to be partners if they were romantically involved, but all of my police knowledge comes from watching tv, so I basically just made it up. I used to work in schools too, and people were allowed to date each other without officially reporting it, but I have a friend who used to work for Barnes and Noble and they made her quit when she started dating her manager (They've been married for 14 years, so it worked out:)With private companies I guess they can make their own rules.

Oh wow. That was such a fast update I almost missed it. Good thing I stop for muppets :)

True story: when I was in college I had a friend who had a ferret that ran wild in his room. Once, when we were sitting on the bed, I put my hand down to get something I'd dropped and the damn thing latched onto my hand, right in that web between thumb and finger and *would not freaking let go*.

It's not quite the soft and danglies, but I feel Espo's pain, you know :)

My first college roommate had a ferret that she let run all over the room! I did not have an experience as bad as Esposito's (or yours - ouch) but it chewed a hole in the underside of my bed, and I would wake up to the sound of it crawling around inside my mattress. So creepy. And it wasn't really litter trained. So gross. I moved out after one semester.:) Thanks for commenting!
