Now that I have seen the photos from the swings for S6E01 I am feeling much better.
But I still like being silly
So, here is more silly
Agent Allen has been taking note on all the information that was just presented.
"Everyone listen up. Let's get started on the evidence gathering. I want Agents Hamilton and Wellborn to go to the crime scene and supervise evidence gathering. Agent Beckett, I want you to go to the medical examiner's office and supervise the autopsy"
Kate obviously does not like the attitude presented by the senior agent. She is telling Beckett to do this job if she thinks that Lanie can't get the job done properly without supervision.
She turns toward the station chief "Captain Gates, I will stay here and set up the command post. Is there anyone who can help me get do that?"
"I will assign Detective Waters to assist with that" The captain answers "What do you want detectives Ryan and Esposito doing?"
"Have them review police reports for the time period that these men went missing and try to find something, anything that might explain when they went missing, who they were or why they were killed. There has to be some report around the estimated time of death that will help identify them and why they were killed"
Agent Allen looks at her notes "Very well then! The tech people are on their way to set up the computers, so let's get cracking people"
Agents Harrington and Wellborn walk to the elevator as Kate steps over beside Ryan and Esposito
"So guys give me the real skinny on this case?
Beckett. We came up empty. Since no one reported any missing persons we have been at a loss to explaining how 12 men get killed, buried and it is all never reported. Just like it never happened. Makes no sense" Esposito explains
"Kate, we already looked at the old files over and over" Ryan states "I don't know how going over it all again is going to help. There are simply no missing person reports that explain the bodies. But we will do it all again if that's what your boss wants. But one thing" Ryan looks around to see where Agent Allen is, then points toward the break room then the three walk that way
"We thought you were going to work for the Attorney General, not the FBI"
Beckett has obvious anger in her face "The job vanished about two weeks ago and I got bumped to the FBI without even discussing it with me. Now I wish I were back here. I mean what they asked me to do today is exactly what I would have been doing anyway. What's the difference?"
Esposito is keeping an eye on Agent Allen then he asks "So Beckett, Castle got you a new car?"
Kate shyly smiles. This is something new for her. Before Rick came along she had no emotional reason to feel the way she does now. But now she likes it
"Yeah he did"
"Some special reason for that?"
Kate looks around again to make sure no one is listening or watching. She holds up her left hand for the two detectives to see. Both men have looks of total shock combined with happiness
"Beckett! It's about time" Espo says first
"WOW!" Beckett "That is some rock you got there" Ryan finishes
"Congratulations" Both men say in unison
"Please guys don't say anything. There is going to be a formal announcement on Friday. Paula is doing a press release and until then we are keeping it quiet"
"No problem" Ryan states
"Well, I better go do what my boss says so I don't get into trouble" Kate says with a little bit of low tone in her voice "And I'll let you guys know more about the engagement announcement later. I want both of you to be there. You have been mine and Rick's strongest supporters for over these last five years. I really want you two to be with us"
"You got it" Esposito answers
Beckett leaves the room and heads out to the morgue to see Lanie
Shortly after Beckett leaves the building, the 4th floor of the precinct is filled with FBI technical support teams. Bringing in computer monitors, stringing network connections, rolling in large flat panel televisions. Generally making the former bull pin into an FBI Computer Central. The feds seem to think that it takes a team of technicians with a mass of technology strung together with wire and cables to solve crimes.
They haven't met Richard Castle
The elevator's bell ringing signals the arrival of said person, Richard Castle. He steps out onto the floor that for five years has been so familiar to him. A most important place for him. A home away from home. That one extra special place everyone has in their lives. For Richard Castle ha can truthfully say that this is where he fell in love.
As soon as he clears the elevator lobby, he is seen by one of the FBI "Sorry sir. This area is restricted. No civilians allowed"
"I am Richard Castle. I have been working with these detectives for several years as a consultant"
"Well that may be, but the FBI is in charge of this operation."
"Captain Gates hears and sees Castle's arrival and walks over "Agent, this man is a member of the staff here. I will vouch for him. Let him in"
Castle is a little taken back by Gate's acceptance of him. "Captain Thank you. It looks like you have a lot going on today"
She indicates that she wants Rick to follow her into her office "Yes, they do like to take over. But I had no choice but to call them in. Regulations call for the FBI to be contacted whenever four or more bodies are found. And this one meets criteria"
"Yes, Sir, it does. Where are Beckett and the guys?"
"Detective Beckett, UH I mean Agent Beckett is over with Dr Parish and Ryan and Esposito are in the conference room reviewing old files looking for something that might help find out what happened here"
"Captain, do you mind if I go and see if I can be of help?"
"Mr. Castle. You might actually be of some help here because of your speed reading ability. Please. I will appreciate that. Thank you"
"Not a problem, captain. And" As Castle looks at his watch "its lunch time and I will order a giant spread of Chinese food. Not for the FBI, just your people. OK?"
A smile actually appears on the captain's face "Thank you Mr. Castle"
Rick turns and heads to the conference room when he finds Ryan and Esposito buried under a mountain of case reports. Ryan looks up when he sees Castle enter the room
"Hey Javi, look who decided to show his face"
"Hey Bro" Esposito stands up and puts Castle into bear hug "good to see you. Especially since you finally decided to take our girl and make an honest woman out of her"
It takes Rick a moment to understand what Esposito meant, then he smiles "She told you?"
"She showed it to us, Castle. WOW! Nice rock. You did us proud" Javi states
"We are really happy for you guys. So when is the wedding?" Ryan asks
"We haven't set any dates yet. Honestly, I would just like to run off get hitched, but she deserves a huge ceremony. But whatever she wants is good with me. But enough of that, I have lunch coming and what can I do to help you two?"
The two detectives start telling Castle about the case and showing him the information that they have gathered so far.
Outside the conference room the FBI team is setting up their operations. Detective Waters is talking to FBI Agent Allen when both women notice Richard Castle leaving the captain's office.
"OH! Who is that?" Waters states
Agent Allen looks up and gets a look come over her face "Oh my gosh! That's Richard Castle, the writer."
"Castle? The Richard Castle who wrote all those mystery books? I love his books. I wonder what he is doing here?" Waters states
"I don't' know. But if they let him in, then he must have connections at this station. Oh look, he is going in to talk to Ryan and Esposito. They must be why he's here" Allen comments
"He is a little yummy" The young detective says with a gleam in her eye
The FBI agent looks over to the younger female detective "I saw him first"
"No you didn't, I did" Waters remarks
"I actually saw him the other day in DC. I don't know why he was there, but the director's assistant said that the two of them were old friends. They evidently went to college together. She said that they visited for a little while"
"So Agent Allen, he was in DC and now he's here? He may have been visiting your director but he might have a girlfriend here?"
"Let's ask Ryan and Esposito if he does have someone special in his life right now" Allen suggests
"No they will tell him we are asking about him"
"All right then. It is probably a girlfriend here. What about the detective he followed around while doing the Nikki Heat books? What was her name?"
"That was Kate Beckett he followed"
Oh, well then my guys actually know something about her. They found out that she is um; well let's just say Castle is not her cup of tea. She is more interested in a certain Medical Examiner here in New York"
"All right then, Page 6 of the Ledger lists the most eligible bachelors and he was still listed the last time I looked. He was number 8 or something. That probably means NO GIRLFRIEND!"
"OH! Really?"
"All Right Agent Allen you ready for a little bet?"
"What?"
"OK. A hundred bucks. Who can get him on a date first"
"Date? Just a date? A date is easy. How about the first one to get him into bed. And I don't mean just for sleeping".
"You're ON!"
