I have no idea how this is going to turn out but I watched a clip of Stana singing in the Librarian and this idea came to my head and it won't leave me alone, so I'm very sorry if it's rubbish but it will stop my brain going "write this"!
Rick choked as he stared at Montgomery as he sat in the room with him and Beckett, his eyes moving from Montgomery to the woman who was sat next to him, staring at her boss in shock. He couldn't believe what Montgomery had just said and what he was planning to do.
"What" Rick asked, desperate to know whether he'd heard right or whether it was imagination going on a crazy ride due to the lack of caffeine in his system and the long hours at the office he'd spent with Kate. "Let me get this straight…".
"Wait I want to get it straight to…" Kate announced as she leant forward and stared at her boss. "You want me to what" she asked, her tone clearly shocked as Montgomery smiled at them.
"Beckett you're the only one here who can do the job and we all know it's not part of the job description but well, we believe it's the only way to crack the killer" Montgomery explained as Kate laughed to herself and took a sip of her coffee to cover her embarrassment. "Anyway, it won't be for long and don't worry Ryan, Esposito or Castle will be there every night to make sure nothing extreme happens and to step in if you need it".
"I can look after myself" she declared. "I don't need a babysitter" she whispered as she felt Rick's eyes on her causing her to turn and stare at him, raising her eyebrows as she did. "Something the matter Castle" she asked as he coughed again. "I guess I can't say no if it means I get the man who killed these girls".
"What you're going through with this" Rick asked as she stared at him, looking back at Montgomery who nodded and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him as she stared at him. "You've got to be kidding me Kate, you can't even sing".
"What do you know" she asked as he raised his eyebrows, smirking as he did. "Look Castle, this is my job and sometimes you have to take risks to catch a killer anyway, I'll have you and the guys to protect me".
"Are you not at all one bit worried about going undercover in a place like that" he asked as she stared.
"Castle it's not like it's a strip club or anything, I would say no if it was like that but I know Montgomery he wouldn't put me at any immediate risk and anyway, I'm a big girl I can protect myself" she announced as he stared at her, not completely shocked at the way she was acting. It was Kate Beckett! "Anyway, we know our killer goes there often and we might be able to crack this case just with me singing there for a couple of nights".
"So what are you going to call yourself Beckett" he asked as she laughed.
"I'm keeping my name idiot, it's not like anyone knows me, I'm not a big well known writer like someone sat in the room with me" she announced as she stared at his shirt, noticing the spilt drink all down it. "You're covered in coffee Castle".
"I know I was slightly shocked with Montgomery's plan" he laughed as he smiled and walked towards the door. "Does that mean I get to hear you sing" he asked as she rolled her eyes.
"Depends" she announced before winking and walking out of the room, a smile on her face as she passed her two colleagues who were staring at her, causing her to realise that they'd just been informed of the operation that was about to begin.
XOXOXO
"Let me get this straight, you're going undercover to work in an evening entertainment club" Lanie asked as she stared at Kate who was sat in the corner of the morgue, staring up at her. "Kate those places are normally filled with people who are slappers, what are you going to do if some guy starts hitting on you" Lanie asked as Kate smiled.
"Pull my gun out on him" she laughed as Lanie rolled her eyes. "Look Lanie it's a normal day at work, I've got to get this killer and if I have to sing in a club to do it I will".
"You will have protection though" Lanie asked. "I know what guys are like and so do you and guys who are drunk are pigs".
"I know and that's why I've got my gun and will be keeping my gun on me at all times, anyway I know the drill, go on stage, sing, get off stage, go home" she declared as Lanie rolled her eyes. "I know it's not going to be that easy but well I like a challenge".
"What does Castle say about this" Lanie asked as Kate raised her eyebrows. "We all know he cares about you so what does he say about you going into this situation".
"He was shocked but he didn't say very much" Kate explained. "Anyway, I better go, I have to go and buy something to wear for this stupid thing".
"Now Kate my darling, that's where I'm needed" Lanie announced as Kate laughed and nodded.
"And that's why I came down here, to ask you to come with me" Kate declared as Lanie laughed.
XOXOXO
"I think she's being stupid" Javier announced as he sat with the guys, staring down into his coffee. "She's putting herself at unnecessary risk to catch a killer; we've managed without having to go undercover before".
"Yeah but this guy has murdered three girls who work there and we know he's going after another, this is murder to the extreme" Kevin declared as Rick shook his head. "I'm sorry but I think she's being brave and what we've got to think is if it was us would we do it".
"I don't know, I can't imagine myself singing in an evening entertainment club" Rick laughed as Javier smiled.
"Yeah, we've heard you sing" Javier smirked into his coffee as Kevin smiled. "I just think it's dangerous".
"Everything we do is dangerous, come on how many times have we been shot at, all she's got to do is sing on a stage" Kevin laughed as Rick shrugged.
"Where is Beckett by the way" Rick asked as Javier groaned.
"She's gone dress shopping with Lanie, I don't think she owns very many slutty dresses" Javier declared as Rick looked up. "Come on Castle you've seen what they wear".
"I know but I'm just trying to imagine Beckett in those dresses" Rick announced as Kevin smiled.
"Imagine the legs" Kevin muttered before biting his lip, realising that he'd just said that out loud.
"Kevin Ryan you're an engaged man with gorgeous fiancée" Esposito announced in shock as Kevin stared.
"Come on you can't lie that you haven't looked at her legs once in a while" Kevin declared as he stood up and walked out of the room.
"You've got to admit he's right though, she's going to look hot" Javier laughed as he walked out, leaving Rick alone thinking about Kate in one of the dresses he'd seen the other women who'd worked there dressed in.
