[flack]

Flack: I used to be a damn good detective once. Why do all of you seem to forget that? [smirk]

Derek: Because you're getting old? [smirks because only he can get away with those jokes. most of the time]

Flack: Hah. [shakes his head] Just keep it out of the precinct, alright?

Derek: Yes sir.

Flack: Good. Now get outta here and go home.

Derek: [nods, and looks at Beckett] Yours or mine?

Beckett: [she shrugs] Whichever's closer.

Derek: [looks at the cross streets] Sadly, my family apartment. Then yours.

Beckett: Then mine.

Derek: Alright, let's go. [and he takes her hand, holding her tight]

Beckett: [follows his lead back to the car that will get them there]

Derek: [and yeah, he so going to just keep her close in the back seat]

Beckett: [she doesn't mind. She's just going to burrow into him and try and relax]

Derek: [and when they get upstairs, he's just going to pull her close to him]

Beckett: [slides her arms around his waist and burrows in closer, letting her head rest against his shoulders]

Derek: That was too close.

Beckett: That's the job.

Derek: Yeah, I know. It's the part I hate.

Beckett: I'm not a fan of it either.

Derek: We should really cut back on that.

Beckett: Any recommendations as to how?

Derek: Catching all the psychopaths in town and getting them behind bars so the streets are safer.

Beckett: Isn't that what we usually do?

Derek: Yes, but we do it faster. Just profile and lock them up. It's totally legal.

Beckett: [wrinkles her nose and shakes her head] We need evidence first.

Derek: I didn't say it was a good plan.

Beckett: We need a better one.

Derek: How about more vacations, less work?

Beckett: Oooh. I like the sound of vacations.

Derek: I have a lot of vacation time. I tend to be a workaholic.

Beckett: Whadaya know? Me too.

Derek: Look at that. Something we have in common. I think we need to take advantage of that.

Beckett: Where do you want to go?

Derek: I don't know. I haven't really been many places.

Beckett: Well, maybe we should change that.

Derek: Well, I'm always open to suggestions.

Beckett: Later.

Derek: Later?

Beckett: [she nods as she pulls back and takes his hand, pulling him back towards her bedroom] Later.

Derek: Oh, that kind of later. Yeah, I can work with that.

Beckett: [smirks as she pulls him in closer to kiss him]

Derek: [kisses her back, pulling her closer and continuing that motion to the bedroom]

Beckett: [and she will kick the door closed behind them while they have crazy "grateful to be alive" sex]

Derek: [it's the best kind of sex, really]

Beckett: [it really is]

Derek: [and once sex is done, he will reach over to find out just what the hell is so important]

Cora: [on the voicemail] Derek! There was this ... this van and we were walking back to class and … and they just took Alexis and Hal and ... I can't find Stiles. I called Castle and he called Flack but please. Call me back.

Derek: [and yeah, no he's going to sit up and bed and he's calling his sister] Cora? I just got your voicemail...

Cora: [still sounding panicky] I can't find Stiles' scent anywhere. It's like ... like he just disappeared.

Derek: Okay, take a deep breath. Go back to the beginning and tell me everything that's happened. [he looks over his shoulder at Kate, motioning for something to write with]

Cora: [Kate pushes up to reach for the memo book she keeps next to her bed for when she gets calls for cases and hands it to him as Cora takes a shaky breath] We ... we were walking back to campus for class. We had gone back to the Castle penthouse for something and we were going back to school. Hal and Alexis were in front of me and stiles was next to me and suddenly this ... van pulls up in front of us. These men jump out and grab Alexis and Hal and I tried ... I tried to run forward to help but they were too fast and I couldn't get there in time. And then I turned around to try and find Stiles and he was just ... gone.

Derek: Okay. So Alexis and Hal were grabbed by men in a van. Is it possible Stiles tried to help as well and they took him too? [he writes her a note that she's going to want to call Castle and check on him]

Cora: [Beckett nods and reaches for her phone and to get out of bed. Cora just tries to calm down] I ... I don't know. I don't know. I didn't see him go in front of me but maybe.

Derek: Alright. Listen, Beckett and I are going to head to the station. Can you meet me there?

Cora: I'm already here. Flack picked me up and brought me there.

Derek: Okay. I'm at Beckett's apartment. We'll be there in fifteen. Is Laura on her way?

Cora: Peter. Laura is tied up in something with Victor.

Derek: Okay. Do you see Javi there with Detective Ryan? Tell them what the intersection you were at, and they can look for any street cams in the area to see if they can get video on what happened.

Cora: [looks up and over and nods] Okay. Okay.

Derek: By the time I get there, they'll know if there's cameras we can look at. Ryan's really good at finding video of crime scenes, so just sit with them, and I'll be there as soon as I can, okay kiddo?

Cora: Okay. Just get here soon.

Derek: I will. Just sit tight. [and he will hang up and go to get dressed as he looks at Beckett and see if she got anything from castle]

Beckett: [is still on the phone] Castle, Castle, Caste, I know. [she pauses, then places a hand over the speaker] I'll meet you there. Go.
