Chapter 2

Percy's POV

"Alright Mr. Jackson, where were you and Miss Chase between 8 last night and about 5 this morning?" Detective Esposito asked Annabeth and me across the table of the interrogation room.

"Um," I paused, thinking, "We were at my house..." Both men raised their eyebrows at us. I felt myself turn red. Annabeth's face was red too.

"Doing what?" Detective Ryan leaned forward, smiling slightly.

"Couple stuff…" I tried softly.

"Just kidding man." It was Esposito's turn to smile. "As long as we know you were both there."

"So you saw each her, right Percy, at your house?" Ryan said seriously.

"Definitely," I said without thinking. Both guys looked up and Annabeth face-palmed, blushing, "I-I mean, I'm sure I saw her…"

"Okay guys," Esposito grinned. "You can go now…"

"Thank you," Annabeth said finally. The detectives left.

"You really are an idiot you know that?" Annabeth smiled.

"What, I panicked," I sighed. She laughed, talking my hand.

"Geez, these detectives…" Annabeth muttered, rubbing her brow with her other hand.

"What about them?" I asked immediately "Did they say something that I missed?"

"Yes and no…" she sighed, "Percy' they think I'm blind. Haven't you noticed; Detective Ryan asked you if you were sure you saw me."

"Because of your eyes?" I asked confused, "I don't think I ever thought you were blind… I guess I'm just special…"

"Nope, I gave you reason to believe that I could see so you took it for granted."

"Whatever you say…" I grinned, kissing her nose.

"Sally's gonna kill us…" she said after a while.

"Damn! We told her we would be right back didn't we!?" I cursed.

"Yep," Annabeth's eyes danced.

"We should probably call her…" I suggested.

"Look at you Seaweed brain, getting smarter every day," she mocked.

"You must be rubbing off on me Wise girl," I kissed her on the cheek.

"Hold on…" she muttered softly, "We're in an interrogation room. In all the detective shows we've watched, the mirror in here is…"

"One-way glass…"

"Crap, wonder how many people are on the other side…" she whispered.

"Only one way to find out…" I got up and went over to the glass.

"Careful, don't crack the mirror." I saw her smirk in the reflection.

"Ha-ha. Very funny…" then I pressed my face against the glass, "Hello!"

Beckett's POV

"Are you sure he's just your step-brother's step-son?" I asked, smirking at Percy's face pressed up against the glass. I must admit though, they were both smarter than they looked, it surprised me.

"I know right," Castle smiled, shaking his head.

"Nah, he's more cautious than Castle," Ryan smiled.

"But the curiosity is equal," Esposito added.

"So is the stupidity," Captain Gates added, ducking into the room.

"Hello! I'm standing right here!" Castle pouted.

"Hello!" Percy yelled louder, waving his arms. I could just see Annabeth, still sitting at the table, trying hard not to laugh.

"Alright, shows over," Gates said "Get them out of there and someone clean that glass. I sighed and followed the Captain outside, leaving Castle, Ryan and Espo inside.

"Ms. Chase, Mr. Jackson?" I called, opening the door to the 'box'. Annabeth got up and Percy pealed his face from the glass with a pop.

"Ow," he muttered. Annabeth and I snickered at him.

"Where we going?"Percy asked as we walked down the hall towards my desk.

"Well first, I think you should call that Sally person…" I smiled, pointing Percy towards the pay phone.

"Thank you so much," he said, running off. Then I turned to Annabeth.

"Aren't you jealous?" She looked at me confused. "I mean of this Sally person." I elaborated. "I thought you said he was your boyfriend…"

At this point Annabeth burst out laughing.

"Sally is his mom, detective," she smiled. "And I think I've had enough of getting jealous over hunches about Percy's secret life; if he ever had one."

"You make it sound like he tells you everything."

"Not everything, everything," she corrected. "But what he doesn't tell me, I squeeze it out of him," she added with a smile.

"Oooh, looks like Beckett found her new evil twin." Ryan smirked as he walked past us to his desk.

"And the time it took you to see recognize the one-way glass…" Castle smiled, "Totally Beckett-ish."

"Beckett-ish…" Annabeth and I muttered slowly, thinking on the stupidity of the word.

"See, she's ever better than us," Castle protested. "With the joint talking," he added awkwardly.

"Anyway, how many of you guys were on the other side of the glass?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, no-one answered me," Percy pouted, hugging Annabeth from behind.

"You know we could have just asked them to knock the amount of people on the other side," Annabeth smirked. Percy reddened.

"But that's boring!" He whined. Everyone laughed.

"Ahem!" Gates' voice made us all jump.

"I, uh, I gotta go chase down some leads…" Ryan slipped away to his desk.

"Copy that," Espo disappeared too.

"Detective Beckett." Captain Gates barked, "I suggest you begin the investigation. And for you two."

She glared at Annabeth and Percy.

"You've been released. Shoo." Gates glared at them.

"Okay…" they said together heading to the elevator.

"Oh, I could drop you to Paul's place," Castle offered, following them.

"It's cool, Rick." Percy insisted, but Castle insisted on escorting them to the ground floor.
