A/N: Hi y'all! Wow, two chapters in one day! Yay! There's a bit more humor in this chappy, and if you have any suggestions for fun and goofyness, let me know! This is probably only gonna be a few more chapters, and I don't know it there will be a sequel. :D As always, all I own is Jade, Mack, and their circumstances! Please review!
After an exhausting day of pretending to be normal, and cheery and all, I said good bye to Alexis, and pretended to leave. I then followed her home, and waited to see her father. My orders were to avoid contact with him if possible. He came home, looking very excited, like a nine year old on a sugar rush. He didn't see me, thank goodness. He went into the elevator, and up to the penthouse. I settled in to wait, but he came down just a few hours later. I followed him, and luckily he walked. He walked all the way to the police station, and walked in. I waited for a few hours, and he came out, this time with a brunette woman, who I recognized as my target from the pictures I'd been given. I tailed them, but they just went to a Chinese place, then back to the precinct. They seemed to be talking about some case. Then I heard him ask why someone would cut off someone's finger, and realized they were talking about my last target. I listened a little more closely, closing the distance a bit. I wanted to see if there were anymore leads.
"I'm telling you! It's the CIA!" Castle said.
"Castle, it's not the CIA. You were probably closer with your mob theory, especially in light of Mack the Knife's possible involvement."
"Ryan's right though. The mob uses guns." He almost whined.
I snorted quietly. We used weapons as varied as any other criminals. The woman spotted me, so I stepped into a nearby store, and started looking around. When I looked up, approximately a minute and a half later, they were gone. With the amount of food they'd been carrying, they had to be heading back to the precinct. I walked around the area for a little while then headed back to the precinct.
"Did you guys get anything?" Beckett asked.
"Not yet." Esposito said, still looking over the reports.
"Next of kin?" she asked.
"None we could reach."
"Did he have any enemies?" Castle asked, as he started to hand out food.
"None that we could find. He was an elementary teacher." Ryan said.
"Did you check his financials?"
Both Esposito and Ryan looked at her blankly, then ran off to find them.
Beckett had to force herself not to face-palm, while Castle laughed.
