Chapter .2.
New York: The 12th Precinct
Kate Beckett was working a murder case with her team. Except Castle. He didn't answer his phone. She was not that worried. He will call her back. Lanie was up in the 12th Precinct giving her report on the victim when Castle's mother Martha comes in and walks too their desks.
"Have you seen Richard?" Martha asks
"No. I called him and he didn't answer. Why?" Kate asks
"He is not answering his phone. He is not at home and his clothes are gone. I was hoping he left with you", Martha replies
"He's gone? Why? Has anything happened?" Kate asks as Detective Esposito and Detective Ryan come over with Lanie.
"Not that I know off. It is so unlike him to leave without telling me or you", Martha says, "Try calling again"
Kate picks up her phone and rings Castle but it goes to voice mail. Something was wrong.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Kate asks
"At breakfast this morning so 6 hours", Martha replies
"Me too", Kate says looking worried
That's when 6 people in suits come in. 3 girls and 3 boys.
"Where is your Captain?" a man says
"In that office over there", Detective Ryan says pointing to Gates office
"Thank you", he says leading the people to the office to talk to Gates
"I wonder who are they?" Ryan asks
"Don't know but they look important", Esposito says
"Let's get talking about Castle we need to locate him. Ryan track his phone", Kate orders
"Can't track it. Sorry", Ryan says 5 minutes later
"Something is not right", Kate says
"Detective Beckett, Detective Esposito, Detective Ryan, Dr Panish, Mrs Rodgers please come in my office", Captain Gates says
"We are busy at the moment", Kate says
"That's an order Detectives. Get in here now", Captain Gates orders
All of them reluctantly go into her office where the strangers were.
"Detectives, Doctor Panish, your case is reassigned you all will be going with these people", Captain Gates say
"But sir it is our case and Castle is missing", Kate protests
"I don't care. They have an order. All of you will be going with them. I will let them tell you. The floor is all yours", Gates says to the older agent
"My name is Agent Philip Coulson, these are Agent's Melinda May, Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and Miss Skye", Agent Coulson says
"Who are you with FBI, NCIS, CIA, DHS, ATF, DEA, CBP, ICE?" Esposito asks
"We are from S.H.I.E.L.D and we have orders for all of you to come with us. You will need to pack you could be with us for a while", Agent Coulson replies
"What is S.H.I.E.L.D?" Ryan asks
"That will all be explained when you get to the HUB our agency", Agent Coulson replies
"Sir you can't expect us to go with them", Kate says
"I do expect you all to go with them. They have a high up order to bring you too their agency", Captain Gates replies
Kate sighs in defeat she will just have to hope Castle is alright.
"Why am I needed?" Martha asks
"You will find out when we are at the HUB", Agent Coulson replies
"So we need to pack?" Lanie asks
"Yes. One Agent each will go with you. Agent Ward you go with Detective Esposito, Agent Simmons go with Doctor Parish, Agent May and Agent Fitz go with Detective Ryan. Skye and I will go with Mrs Rodgers and Detective Beckett", Agent Coulson says handing out assignments
"Yes sir", the Agents says
"You have an hour to pack before we get on our plane. We need to hurry", Agent Coulson says
Kate and Martha were escorted to a black Mercedes.
"Get in", Agent Coulson says
They obey they were very confused. Why would these Agents need them?
Skye sits up front and Agent Coulson drives them to Castle's penthouse apartment.
"How did you know where we live?" Kate demands
"S.H.I.E.L.D knows everything now go and pack. You have one hour", Agent Coulson replies
They go up to the apartment and pack their clothes.
"Do you think this has something to do with Richard?" Martha asks
"I don't know. But I will find out", Kate replies finishing packing the last of her clothes
They meet Agent Coulson at the car.
"Done?" he asks
"Yes. Let's go", Kate says getting back in the car
Agent Coulson drives them to the private airport. Where everyone was waiting.
"Let's get this show on the road", Agent May says, "Everyone on board"
"Who is going to fly the plane?" Lanie asks
"Me", Agent May says going into the big private plane
"Wow", Detective Esposito says looking at every part of the plane as they were lead through
"Damn S.H.I.E.L.D most be good", Lanie says taking a seat
"Did they tell you anything?" Kate asks taking a seat next to her
"No. Tried but she didn't say anything. She just said it was urgent and we have been requested", Lanie replies
"The trip to the Hub will take 2 hours get some rest", Agent Coulson says leaving
"We need to figure out why we are here. Any ideas?" Kate asks
They talk not knowing that the Agents were listening and watching them…
Agent Coulson's Office
"Have you got them Agent Coulson?" Demelza asks
"Yes we are on route to the HUB", Agent Coulson replies
"Good. Any hiccups?" Demelza asks
"They are asking a lot of questions. But we are saying nothing", Agent Coulson replies
"Good. Get them here. Agent Copper will show them to their rooms and lead them to the conference room. Where Retired Agent Rodgers and I will be waiting", Demelza replies
"We will Deputy Director", Agent Coulson says as Demelza cuts the link
Agent Coulson sighs this was going to be a big case…
2 hours later…
HUB
"We have arrived grab your bags", Agent Coulson says
They follow the agents off the plane. They are met by a woman.
"Hi I am Agent Tallulah Cooper. I will show you too your rooms. Then to the conference room. Please follow me", Agent Cooper says leading them away
They were all impressed with the HUB it had runways and heaps of planes and helicopters. Inside was very busy and big. They were shown to the housing unit. They put their stuff in their separate rooms.
"Right this way", Agent Cooper says
"We are confused will you explain why we are here", Lanie asks
"I can't but the Deputy Director and one other can", Agent Cooper replies
When they turn into the conference room they see a woman with long blonde hair and ocean eyes with a ring of gold around them and a man sitting in a chair head in his hands. Agent Coulson's team were already seated.
"Deputy Director they are here", Agent Cooper says
The man's head comes up and they all gasp.
"Castle?"
