When Beckett and Ryan returned to work the next day, they were quickly sent in to another office.

"Detectives, now it's time to give you all the information you need about you objective. I'll have Campbell tell you everything you need." Spade said, "but first, you need to sign this contract saying you'll do it." Beckett and Ryan signed.

"The man we are trying to catch is known as Insanity. We don't know his real name, but that is for you to figure out. Him and his buddies have taken the name Westies, and are the most dangerous gang around." Campbell explained.

"They have been around for about eight years now, and every cop we had sent in had either been killed, or disappeared." Nolan said.

"Great, so your saying we might not make this out alive?" Ryan said furiously, "You both are smart. You could be the first." Spade wasn't kidding. "I'm sorry, but I can't do this, I've got a wife and a eleventh month year old daughter that I need to take care of." Ryan said getting ready to walk out.

"Detective Ryan, we know. We're going to try our best so you both can make it out of this." Campbell tried reassuring them.

"This isn't going to work. I'm out." Beckett said with Ryan. "Detectives, you signed a contract." Spade said deviously.

Beckett and Ryan both knew they had to do it.

"Captain, it's a death trap!" Beckett reported to her captain with Ryan, Castle, and Esposito right beside her when the information was told.

"Detectives, I highly agree you shouldn't go in there. I don't even want you near that gang! But you signed a contract. With that, I can't do anything to help you." Gates said sadly.

"What happens if they don't do it?" Castle asked, "They could get get fined, suspended, and maybe sent to jail. In your case, jail." Gates replied.

"I rather go to jail for ten years than get killed." Ryan said proudly, "Look, is there a lawyer they can talk to?" Esposito asked, "I'm sorry detectives." Gates apologized.

The Westies were a big gang. They've robbed, kidnapped, and murdered innocent cops, and civilians. It was Ryan and Beckett's job to stop this. They know nothing about the others in the gang, but the leader is named Insanity, and they are performing illegal drug operations that they need to stop.

"Rick, I don't want to do this." She confessed in his arms, "I know you don't, but you're smart. You're gonna go in there alive, and make it out alive. I know you will." Castle explained giving her a kiss on her head in their loft.

"Ryan was pretty shaken up." Beckett added, "Of course he was. He was just told he probably will die. I would be pretty shaken up too." Castle replied.

"I can see them picking me to do this, but not Ryan. They are so cruel that they choose the guy with a one year old kid. That's just a piece of crap in my opinion." Beckett said furiously.

"He's gonna make it out too. Right beside you. You both will have each other's backs, and we don't have to worry about the worse." Castle said trying to lighten the mood, "Aren't you going as a couple?" He asked. She replied with a nod. "Then you should be fine. If anything happens, I trust him." Castle said with confidence.

"We have to make this night worth while." Beckett said with a kiss. "I have an idea." Castle said with a grin and they headed to their bedroom.

Ryan cradled his daughter gently on the couch. Jenny was upstairs taking a shower, and he wanted some time with his daughter before he left with Beckett.

He looked down to his daughter whose blue eyes shined into his. Her smile made him so happy. He knew this could be one of the last times he would spend with Sarah Grace.

Ryan gave her a kiss on her forehead and heard Jenny come downstairs. "Hey, babe." Jenny said sitting next to them, "I'm nervous. I don't wanna do this Jenny."

"I know you don't Kev, and I don't want you too either. But you just have to play it smart and work together with Beckett." Jenny replied.

"We're going undercover as a couple." Ryan told her nervously, "Ok good. That's a good cover." Ryan felt better she wasn't mad.

"What's your undercover name?" She added, "Shane Holden, but I go by the street name Ryder." He replied, "What's Beckett's name?" She asked, "Brooke Cross." Ryan responded.

"So what's your purpose?" Jenny asked, "Beckett and I play two drug dealers with a lot of power and resources with other gangs. Insanity is expecting a pair of new dealers, since his other ones were shot." Ryan informed her regretting telling her what happened to the other dealers.

"Just don't get shot out there." Jenny ordered seriously, "I won't, Jenny. I promise." Ryan said, "Always?" She asked, "Always."

Castle, Beckett, Ryan, and Esposito made there way into the precinct. Today was the last day.

Beckett and Ryan didn't need much changed. They just had to be tough looking.

They gave Beckett red highlights, which looked surprisingly good on her. Beckett also had been given a few facial features to look like she's been using. Her clothes were way different sometimes. Most of her clothes were hoodies and darker colored jackets.

Ryan was given the same type of clothing, but he left with a black jacket and a white t-shirt underneath. Ryan didn't bother shaving since he was told he was going undercover. He had the start of a stubble beard that would soon develop into a real stubble beard, then maybe he would shave some of it off.

With both looking somewhat different they had about an hour before they headed on their operation.

While their phones were being worked on, the two detectives talked to their friends. They could tell Ryan was nervous because he was starting to sweat and would look away whenever they would talk to him. Beckett on the other hand was perfectly calm.

"Bro, you just gotta chill." Esposito said calmly, "Yea, yea I know." Ryan replied developing his "gangster" voice.

The hour was sadly cut twenty minutes, and they had to leave.

"I love you. Always." Beckett said to Castle. "I love you too. Always." Castle replied with one last kiss.

"Till the wheels fall off, brother." Esposito said with a man hug, "Till the wheels fall off." Ryan replied calming down when he heard those words.

Beckett and Ryan walked down the 12th following Spade, Campbell, and Nolan. Other officers wished them good luck, others gave them a pat on the back.

The five stepped in the elevate. Beckett and Ryan looked at the 12th Precinct one more time knowing it could be their last. The elevators shut. This was it. Life or death.
