An Unexpected Return

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Castle was dumbstruck. He just didn't understand how Nikolai, someone Castle's father was so close to and trusted so much, could betray Castle's father. Did Nikolai just pretend to be close so he could get information from Castle's father then turn him into the CIA?
Peter Kruschev's temper increased. His face was a bright red and I looked like he was about to explode. Castle hid his emotions and tried to pull more information.
"Yeah actually now that you mention it," Castle paused for effect, "my dad, I think, did mention you. But he didn't mention that Nikolai was your son. He just said that Nikolai was helping him take you down. I'm guarding that as a ruse now. Nikolai may not have been entirely honest with my father about his motives, but damn did he give a lot of information."
Peter's face shifted from anger to intrigue. "What? What did Nikolai say about my mission. I bet it was all wrong. He didn't even know that much. What did he tell you?"
Kate shifted her weight to lean on Castle. She didn't want to ruin anything Castle was doing, but she wanted to show her support. She draped her arm around his hips and molded herself to his side. Castle looked down at her and smiled. He put his arm around her shoulder. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, "When did we get uncuffed?"
Kate stretched on her toes and kissed his ear while saying, "while Peter went on his rant. I had a bobby pin and went to work." She looked up at him and smiled.
"What are you two talking about?" Peter was getting suspicious.
It was Kate's turn to have some fun. "Oh you know, how we could,um," Kate smiled salaciously, "have a little fun. Just the two of us. We are going to be alone for quite some time and the bed is super comfortable. Plus we are already handcuffed so that makes things so much hotter."
"You two are something all right. Just keep it down because my guards don't want to hear what you two are doing in there. I don't want to have to give them ear plugs for when they're stationed outside of your door," Peter said in a partly amused but disgusted tone.
Kate took her finger and ran it over Castle's chest and leaned up to his ear, "so there won't be any guards in the room. That's good news." She bit her lower lip to make Peter and his henchmen thing she said something other than the information she just got from Peter.
"You will get 3 meals and toiletries. We like to keep our...guests comfortable."
"And when will our meals be served? I don't want to be interrupted while in the middle of something." Castle played along with the whole "couple" act.
"8:30 am, noon, and 6:30 pm on the nose. My cook is always punctual with his meals."
One of Peter's henchmen tapped him on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear. His emotion changed instantly. He began to smirk and the news definitely caught his attention. He turned and walked toward the door with his henchmen. He pointed to two of the men and commanded them to guard the door. He was just about the reach for the knob.
"Wait!" Kate shouted from across the room.
"What?" Peter seemed quite impatient.
"Can we get a radio or something. We need something to entertain is when we're tired. Maybe a TV or a clock radio or something?" Kate pleaded.
"Fine. I'll find something. Goodbye." Peter walked out the door and slammed it shut.
Kate looked at Castle and smiled from ear to ear.
"Well you look happy, giddy even. What's up with you?" Castle asked jokingly. "Did you really get that much enjoyment from pretending to be my girlfriend?"
Kate looked up and down his body and chuckled, "obviously not as much as you enjoyed it." Castle's face turned bright red from embarrassment and covered his excitement.
"No, that's not it. Nice try though. It's the radio. If he brings me one I can rig it so its a 2 way receiver with my phone. And the times for meals gives me a good window of when I can communicate without fear of interruption." Kate slipped her hand out of the hand cuffs. "Oh come on Castle, it won't be that bad. Come lay down. You look tired. I know I could use a nap right about now."
Castle walked over to the bed a rested his head on the pillow. Kate, feeling cold, took her place beside him, a little closer than she meant, but his body heat felt nice on her back and she quickly warmed up and dozed off.
