chapter 11
"Can we just keep this between us?" Espo asks after they can't find the cord in his car.
"What about you not finding what you are looking for in your car cause it's a mess?" Ryan jokes, laughing slightly.
"No smart aleck!" Espo shakes his head, yep turning into a little Castle every day. "No about the phone. Her phone and the possible lead."
"We have to tell, we don't want to be like him..." Ryan didn't want to say the guy's name again. "We need to share with him, he like it or not is on our side." Ryan lowers his eyes, "Even though I don't want to either. But this is much bigger then we think and..."
Espo sighs, knowing that his partner is right on both accounts, he didn't want to turn into someone that can't be trusted. And this was much bigger then they knew. Espo nods, "Fine bro but I don't have to like it or him."
"No one is asking you to like him as soon as this case is over Mr FBI goes back."
"Hopefully."
When they entered the building Sorenson was still there sitting in the Captain's chair liked he owned the place.
"So what did you guys find? Anything?"
"As a matter of fact, we did." Ryan starts holding up Beckett's phone.
"You guys found it?" the officer sat up from his laying position on the couch. "Where?"
"That's not important, we..." Espo was trying to get a word in but couldn't.
"What my partner is trying to say is that it went dead on us before we could get a location of where Beckett might be,"
"Hand it over then and we will see." Ryan was about to when Espo steps in snatching it up out of his hand.
"Not so fast, we found it so we look at it first." Ryan gave Espo a stare, "I found, okay you found it I should get the one to read it."
"Fine take the honours I don't really care but do it fast time's a ticking for her," Sorenson adds, wanting these guys to stop these games with each other.
Espo gets the cord from his desk and they plug it up. The phone comes to life. Ryan reads the messages, that Castle apparently ignored. "In a castle in NY, I think, girls and me are slaves, I think to be sold hurry."
"Where is a castle in NY?"
"There's not but I know where it is," the officer on the couch calls, "it's an old abandon castle that the "historical society" took over a few years ago. They didn't want it torn down so they are remodelling it. Bringing it back to its glory days. It's awesome."
"So you have been there before," Ryan comments, knowing that is the perfect place to hide someone and an operation that no one would look into.
"Yeah, I think that they still does tours."
"We have to play this safe, guys, we need a task force to go with us."
"Then you better be getting one together then bro," Espo states.
"Already, getting one in the works," Sorenson calls as he pushes buttons on his phone. "I'll have them ready to go in a minute."
The task force, fully dressed in armour and all, was there within 5 minutes of Sorenson call.
"That was quick." Espo glances at his partner. "To bad when we want something we have to wait."
"I have the power," Sorenson holds up his phone, "When it comes to national security." Espo and Ryan walk out of the office not wanting to hear the guy rants. They really didn't care they just wanted to get Beckett home and safe. "These guys are dangerous, they just kidnapped a detective in daylight so they don't care who they take captive. We have to stop them but try to peacefully."
"Peacefully, my but" Espo whispers to Ryan, "This is going to be anything but peaceful."
"Yeah if I get my hands on one of them."
"Whenever the two of you want to join the team you can. We are moving out."
