Castle had kept up appearances at the precinct Christmas party despite not being in a party mood. He didn’t want to ruin this for Kate…she’d been looking forward to it. And really, he’d known what could happen with him getting involved with the mob. He knew it could definitely have been worse for him. He could have been killed by the mob or brought up on charges as an accomplice in the murder of the detective that had been killed. Thankfully getting kicked out of the precinct was the best of the worst case scenario. Besides, cops got suspended all the time and they got to come back. He would have hope that maybe at some point in the future he’d be back as well.
He was quiet on the way home, though, and he knew his wife would be suspicious. So finally when they stepped into their bedroom, he closed the door and watched her for a few moments. “I’m no longer allowed to work with you,” he finally stated quietly. “Because the detective we arrested was murdered and they suspect Dino’s family, who I worked with on this. The DA called the mayor…so it’s over,” he said sadly. “Guess I should have listened to you this time, huh?”
