Steel rose back into her eyes and she challenged him silently to do something about it. But the damage was done, and looking close enough, he could see the broken girl behind the bars. Castle decided right then and there that he would let that child loose. No more running, no more hurting, just free.
Disclaimer: I do not own Castle or any of its characters. I just like to borrow them and play. That being said, I am using dialogue from the show, namely "Knockdown," in the beginning of this story so I can dig into the characters minds and set up the rest of the plot. I also don't own the song I use in a later chapter. It just happens to be my favorite and I felt it was a good fit for them.
