I will apologise for the delay with this story. Life has been kind of crazy at the moment, with university and family stuff, I haven't had much time to focus on these stories. But I'm off for Easter, and I'm hoping to get some of these wrapped up since I don't appear to have any imagination for my script.

"Sure, lead the way" Sarah replied before turning to enter the van behind Chuck

The precinct was almost empty by the time the team arrived to see the captain, working undercover in a night club always meant late nights. The only difference was that the captain was still sat in her office waiting for her team to return. Kate knew the captain had seen them exit the elevator the minute she stepped off. Gates had shot out of her chair and was heading for the office door.

"You ready for the shouting?" Rick whispered to Chuck and Sarah as he followed Kate's stare.

"What?"

"BECKETT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" Gates shouted from her office door as she glared at the team heading towards her.

"I wish I knew myself sir" Kate replied.

"Sir?" Chuck whispered to Sarah as he looked between Gates and Kate.

"HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CHECK THESE THINGS OUT BEFORE GOING AFTER A SUSPECT." Gates shouted back as the team came to a stop.

"We did, there wasn't anything about the CIA" Kate replied.

"There wouldn't be. We're not a normal CIA group, Chuck here is an asset turned agent." Sarah replied.

"WHAT?" Kate shouted as she looked between Sarah and Chuck "An asset? What the hell's going on Chuck?"

"Katie, it isn't something I can just explain to you, it's complicated." Chuck replied timidly.

"Don't give me that crap Charles, you tell me everything, and you tell me now!" Kate shouted once more.

"Why should I tell you Katherine? It's not like you've had any interest in me since we moved to LA." Chuck replied harshly.

"STOP IT!" Gates voice echoed round the bullpen, "Beckett, explain."

"Sarah is a CIA agent. We worked together on a case related to my mother's a few years back. This is Casey, he's NSA right? Not sure what happened there, but since Chuck here is an asset, I'm guessing government merging right?" Kate waited for the group to nod at her before continuing "Chuck is my cousin, turned asset, turned CIA agent, and this is Morgan, Chuck's best friend, I'm still trying to figure out why you're here actually."

"Morgan is still a civilian, but he's a computer geek like me, so when we go undercover he stays in the van" Chuck told the rest of the group.

"I can't believe this" Kate muttered as she strode towards her desk.

"Katie, look at me" Chuck spoke softly as he followed her to her desk.

"What do you want me to do Chuck? Say that it's all okay? That it doesn't matter than the only family connected to my mother are a group of spies? What about Ellie, is she a spy? Did she drag Ellie into this as well?" Kate bit as she gestured towards Sarah.

"I didn't do anything." Sarah defended.

"No, you just had to be the one who handled my cousin here. Had to worm your way into his life, make him fall for you with all your lies" Kate's eyes were now trained on Sarah as she spat the comment.

"Kate. Stop it. You're stressed you've had a lot to take in. Just deal with the case first." Rick reasoned with her as he placed a hand onto her shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Right, sorry." Kate replied before straightening up and heading towards her captain "We have Thompson downstairs in the secure CIA van with both CIA and NYPD watching."

"We just need to wait for General Beckman to get in touch with us before we make another move" Sarah informed the group.

"Agent Walker how could you let this happen?" Beckman's voice boomed through the precinct as she excited the elevator.

"Di? Is that you?" Gates quizzed as she looked at the woman stepping onto her homicide floor.

"Vicki? What are you doing here?" Beckman shot back.

"This is my precinct, what are you doing here?" Gates asked as the duo stood facing each other, hands clasped in greeting.

"These are my people" Beckman told her, her arm gesturing to the group beside her. "I believe we have a problem"

"We somehow managed to clash during our undercover operations. Apparently the NYPD were also looking for our guy." Sarah told her "And I'd like you to meet Chuck's cousin, Detective Kate Beckett"

"General Beckman, nice to meet you" Kate stated as she held out her hand to welcome the General.

"Same to you Detective" Beckman replied before turning back to her team. "What is the problem then?"

"We need to interview Thompson about a murder before we can hand him over to you, unless you are willing to charge him for both, then we are willing to allow you to take him with you whenever you're ready." Gates told them receiving shocked looks from her team.

"Sir?" Kate quizzed before stopping when her Captain put her hand up to stop her

"Even if we do charge him for murder, it won't make a difference as I'm sure the CIA and NSA want him for something bigger." Gates replied.

"Yes we do" Sarah stated smugly.

"No need to get smug Walker. You always get your way, we get it" Kate snapped.

"Detective Beckett, can we please leave the personal problems until this is sorted?" Gates asked still waiting for a reply from Beckman.

"Yes Sir." Kate huffed before deflating into the nearest chair.

"We will charge him for the murder alongside the other charges once we get back to Castle." Beckman states.

"Don't do it Rick." Kate warns

"Damn it, how do you do that?" Rick huffed as he looked between Kate and Beckman.

"Really bro when have you ever been able to resist inflating your ego?" Esposito mocked, fist bumping Ryan.

"Could someone please explain?" Beckman asked confused.

"This is Richard Castle, so when you said Castle, his ego immediately inflated" Kate stated.

"Don't act like you don't like it Kate" Rick mocked.

"I swear if you make another comment like that I will make you pay" Kate replied suggestively.

"Are those two always like that?" Beckman asked her old friend.

"Should have seen them before they got their act together" Gates replied, causing four heads to turn to her in shock. "Just because I didn't accept it at first, doesn't mean I wasn't happy for you."

Thanks for reading. I'm thinking around two more chapters for this one, then hopefully finishing it there. Let me know what you think.

Amy.
