"We are so going to get best player if you keep going like this," Castle said he tried his best to keep up with Percy.
When Castle had suggested the video game Percy was a little bit nervous. Despite living in one, Percy had very little experience playing video games. But when he began playing he realised he was a better player than Castle.
After a couple of one on one matches Percy finally realised why, his Dex was many times greater than the average man's. His reaction speed made everything in the game go in slow motion, he could see everything clearly and think faster than Castle could. Using his 8.0 Eyesight Percy could aim every bullet of his for a headshot with a 99% hit rate.
After kicking Castle's ass a couple of times they decided to take the match online, and boy was the world in for a surprise. Percy had dominated every match since and always got the last kill in every game. He had died a maximum of 5 times in a game, but his kills were in the 50's.
"And time," Castle said as Percy pressed the fire button on his controler launching a bullet into the skull of an enemy gaining the last kill achivement.
"I am so cool," Percy said with a smile as Castle sighed throwing his controller to the side, "what's wrong old man? To hot for you?"
"Are you sure you have never played this before?" Castle asked rubbing his eyes, "because no one is that good on their first try."
"I just have very good reflexes," Percy said putting aside his controller as Castle shut their system off, "I have to say though, this makes me want to play some more."
"Well you are welcome to come over anytime you want," Castle said walking out of the living room towards the dinning hall, "come on, let's get you a victory snack."
"Victory snack?" Percy asked, "what kind?"
"The only kind a champion of Call of Duty deserves, Mountain Dew and Doritos."
Castle and Percy walked to the kitchen where Kate sat over the counter looking over several files.
"What are you working on Kate?" Castle asked as he opened his fridge.
"The Don Fanico case," Kate mumbled as she closed one file and opened another, "you know the body at the docks."
"Hmm, any leads?" Castle asked as he passed a can of mountain dew to Percy and one for himself.
"No…, do you have any ideas?" Kate asked.
Castle shook his head, "fresh out Kate."
"What's going on?" Percy asked.
"Oh, right, well Castle used to be a consultant with the NYPD," Kate explained, "we used to be partners, but after we started dating we stopped."
"Really sad that part," Castle said with remorse, "it would be nice solving crimes with you again. The criminals of New York would cover in fear."
Kate chuckled, "yeah, I'm sure."
"So wait you guys used to work together?" Percy asked surprised, "I thought you were just a writer."
"Yeah but you need inspiration to write about anything," Castle explained, "I was basically in a rut and then I meet Kate."
The detective laughed as she took a sip of wine from her glass, "I was actually investigating him when we meet. There was a killer who reenacted murder scene from Castle's books. We caught the criminal together and… we have been together ever since."
"Woah," Percy said, "that sounds so sweet. Almost like a TV drama show."
Castle's eyes shot up, "that's a great idea! We should totally make a TV show about us!"
"Castle no-"
"But think about it! It would be so cool!"
"I do not want a repeat of the Nikki Heat movie Castle," Kate said with narrowed eyes, "no."
Castle looked down and sulked while Percy took a peek into Kate's files. It was filled to the brim with various files and details. It seemed the body of one Don Fanico was found brutally murdered in the docks two days ago. The man was the head of the Boston crime family, and since he died in New York everyone is blaming the crime lords in New York.
"Hey!" Kate said slamming the file shut, "that is official police documents."
"Sorry," Percy muttered as his eyes went over the titles over every other file there when suddenly Percy's eyes popped open in recognition of one marked, 'Attalia Ander.'
'That's the chick I saved a year ago in Boston!' Percy realised when suddenly it hit him, 'she was kidnapped by Don Fanico's men! Wait….that's the guy who got shot! Holy shit!'
"Hey, eyes of the files," Kates said taking all the files and putting them into her bag, "this isn't something a civilian should worry about."
"What does Attalia have do with all of this?" Percy asked.
Kate blinked, "how do you know that name?"
"So it on one of your case files," Percy said, "now what does she have to do with this?"
"I'm not allowed to discuss an ongoing investigation," Kate stated.
"Right," Percy said looking at Kate who simply stared back.
"Ah…..does anyone want doritos?" Castle asked.
