“Invaluable”
A drabble of 100 words

Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Pairing: None
Warnings: None
Summary: Some things have value beyond what is paid for them. Response to castle100 challenge scarf.
The scarf’s much too expensive, but Kate’s entranced by the silk cascade of greens and blues, so she decides to splurge. The next day, when she wears it to work, not one single person notices it.
That afternoon, “did your girlfriend have any enemies?” suddenly turns into “gun!” and the rapid bark of gunfire. Esposito’s running down the shooter but Ryan’s clutching his leg and there’s so much blood. Beckett uses her new scarf as a tourniquet as she calls for an ambulance.
Thanks to Beckett, Ryan’s fine, but the scarf’s ruined. Kate doesn’t care. It was worth every penny.
