First Draft [Action/Video] It was a cold and dark night...

[cuffmeonce]

Beckett! Where are you! You know I’m counting on you to save my lily white a—
[Castle looks wildly, dramatically around the area, taking stock and noting that he is not in New York City anymore. He’s got his bullet proof vest on that says writer across the front and a gun in a holster on his belt. The safety is on. The safety is always on because Beckett insists]

This is an interesting turn of events. I—uhm—I’m Rick Castle. You might have heard of me before. I am a best selling novelist. You might even recognize me from the ruggedly handsome photo on the back of my books. I’m also a consultant with the NYPD and my partner…she’s going to be mighty upset when she finds out I’ve been kidnapped…

[He pauses again, considering the situation]

Beckett? If this a prank it’s not a very good one.

She's fifteen. Just started dating and that's killing me. I want to remind every boy who walks in my door that I've written out dozens and dozens of ways to kill a person. Alexis reminds me that's not nice.

She's right and I feel her misery. My father did the same thing when I was fifteen. And he still does it now that I'm thirty-one.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

But see it's genetic. Dad's are genetically pre-programmed to do things like that.

[thenormalsquint]

Pre-programmed to be lovably insane.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

I can't argue with that regardless of how much I'd like to. At least you put the lovably part in there.

[thenormalsquint]

Well, I did it because regardless of my dad's tendency to use his gun and car collection on the guys I date, I still love him.

As a Dad that is not ready to see his fifteen year old daughter grow up and would gladly use the threat of the NYPD against her dates, I can tell you I'm certain he appreciates that.

[thenormalsquint]

As a daughter who was once fifteen and whose dad put the fear of God in my dates just by looking at them, I can tell you that threats like that don't work. We just won't bring the boys home.

They're amusing me.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright. Xnay on the threats. So...I have to be nice?

Angela knows her daddies lol

[thenormalsquint]

Yes. Flies with honey. Besides, she'll be open to telling you more about her love life on her own if you didn't embarrass her so much.

Re: And she's old enough for him to take that an entirely other way

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

You're killing me here.

[Lots of grumbling]

I'll try it. When I get back.

ahahaha i'm sure she has a way of taking it another way too

[thenormalsquint]

And you're killing her social life. I'm just looking out for a fellow girl.

Go ahead. Grumble all you want, sweetie. I'm just schooling you on a woman's brain.

Re: ahahaha i'm sure she has a way of taking it another way too

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

She's fifteen, I'm not sure she has a social life yet. Seriously, she's a good kid. Better than I was at her age.

Woman's brain I'm okay with being schooled on. My daughter's brain is more of a grumble worthy event as far as I'm concerned.

Re: ahahaha i'm sure she has a way of taking it another way too

[thenormalsquint]

Honey, some fifteen year olds have more of a social life than some adults.

Grumble away from her future boyfriends, then.

Re: ahahaha i'm sure she has a way of taking it another way too

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Not mine.

I'll take notes.
