Beckett's Sister: A Castle AU Fanfiction

Chapter 6

When Kris returned from lunch with Kate and Castle an hour later, she texted Camille and asked her to meet her in her office down in tech to discuss the findings of the hard drive. When Camille showed up about 15 minutes later, Kris was clearing the junk off of her desk. When she saw Camille, she gestured for her to take the seat on the opposite side.

"So what have you got for me?" Camille asked eagerly. As she sat, she took a look around the tiny office. Kris' office was about the equivalent of a storage closet, which the desk took up the mass majority of. The knick knacks adorning the desk caught Camille's eye first. Bobble heads of Yoda, Chewbacca and Darth Vader. A storm trooper cup holding pens and highlighters. Kris had even altered her name plate to read Master Jedi Beckett. On the wall behind the desk hung Kris' framed college diplomas, on the wall to the left was an Abstergo Industries poster and on the other wall to the right hung a poster for Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Kris sat down in her chair and turned her laptop around for Camille to see. "Not much really. I don't even know why this hard drive was hidden. The only thing on it of any real importance are a few emails to and from dating websites and some financial information which you may be able to do something with. Other than that, there was nothing encrypted or out of place. The SD cards had pictures of course. I'm assuming they're of your vic, posing in scantly clad attire but nothing otherwise alarming. I went over all of this stuff with a fine tooth comb. I'm sorry I couldn't come up with anything major for you."

Camille was slightly disappointed but she knew that Kris had done all she could do. Waving her hand toward Kris' desk, she said "Star Wars fan, I take it?" She saw Kris glance at her desk for a minute before she replied.

"Seems like it huh?" Kris said with a laugh. "If it wasn't obvious with the computer stuff, I'm a big nerd. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Battlestar Galactica; video games, comic books. I'm into it all."

"We have something in common then. When it comes to sci-fi stuff, I'm all over it. You should see my Netflix account. Computers I'm not so good at, but give me an Xbox controller and I'm golden." Camille said with a grin.

"Hm, I'll have to invite you over next time we have an Xbox night at Castle's. It's been a while though, he got mad last time we played when I kicked his ass in Call of Duty. He thinks sniping should be taken off the game. He just gets pissed cause he never knows where I'm hiding." Kris said, laughing at the memory.

"That would be awesome. I suck at sniping but I can handle a honey badger pretty well." Camille smiled.

"So, how do you like your new partner? What's he like?" Kris said after a moment, averting her eyes to her computer screen.

"He's actually not half bad. He's kind of cocky, which I think all men in this line of work are but he's alright. We'll see how it goes." Camille said with a shrug.

"He's not bad on the eyes either, hope you can keep from staring at him long enough to not get shot." Kris said, half joking.

Camille burst out laughing at that comment. "Oh that will not be a problem. I don't date cops. I decided that on my first day at the academy. I don't want to date someone that I work with. I'd like to be able to come home to someone that I don't have to talk shop with."

Kris managed to keep her composure at Camille's admission but was doing a little happy dance on the inside. Even though she had vowed to never date a cop either, for some reason she could not get Detective Anthony Russo out of her head. Not that she would ever admit it out loud because she knew that if Kate didn't give her hell over it, Castle would. He longed to torture her just as she did him.

Kris and Camille continued talking about their favorite movies, tv shows, books and music. The two found that they had a lot more in common than either originally thought. Kris didn't have a whole lot of close friends being that she wasn't all that social, except for owning a night club. Even at that, she preferred to mingle with Kate and her friends from the twelfth when they came by. Finding someone other than her sister and Castle that she could feel relaxed around and talk to about pretty much anything was a welcome feeling.
