Chapter 5
Hope you enjoy!
The Detectives (plus castle) walked down that the hotel hallway with purpose.
Castle was putting on a face of determination but of course underneath that mask he was as giddy as a school girl. Ryan wasn't much better, he was trying not to let his mind go to the possibility that these agents were really Warehouse Agents, which was hard considering he couldn't get the last episode they'd watched out of his head (For the Team). Next to him was Esposito who hadn't stopped teasing Ryan the whole way here about his "what if" suggestions, but even he had to admit it would be kind of cool if this guys were for real. And then came Beckett who was behaving how Beckett would when faced with a crazy 'Castle Theory'...-denial and an "You'll see Castle theres a reasonable explanation for all of this" line. Unfortunately after watching so much of the show she was beginning to see it every where...Twizzlers were no longer just Twizzlers - H.G Wells could possibly have been a woman - every thing old was officially an artifact - crazy event... an artifact was involved. You know how it is.
So lets rephrase that first sentence... The Detectives (plus Castle) walked silently down the hallway, none of them really thinking about the case only who these 'Agents' really were.
Now, coming to the door, everyone calmed their thoughts an took a deep breath
Steve and Pete were watching T.V when they heard the knock. "NYPD Open up!"
The boys stood up quickly with wide eyes, soon everyone was in the front room.
"What do we do?" Claudia whispered.
"I got it" Leena said in a relaxed voice heading for the door.
"We're just going to turn ourselves in?" Christina asked shocked.
"Listen kid, despite how you were raised, we as federal agents cooperate with the law" Pete reminded her.
"Despite how she was raised! Just what are you suggesting Mr. Lattimer" HG demanded crossing her arms.
"I think it was pretty obvious-" he began.
"Quite!" Artie shouted "Leena, open the door."
Leena nodded and did just that.
Detective Beckett raised her badge "We have a couple questions."
"Sorry were busy" Artie said and Leena began to close the door.
But Esposito stopped it with his hand "That wasn't a question"
"Ok look" Pete began pulling out his badge "Secret service - were busy"
"And now we have cause for arrest" Ryan smiled walking in, and beginning to put his handcuffs on Pete . "Impersonating federal agents is a crime"
"Impersonating!" Artie exclaimed.
"Detectives, this is all just a misunderstanding" H.G began with that charming smile. "My colleges and I have done nothing wrong."
"You trespassed on to my crime scene." Beckett stated.
"Your officers let them pass" Christina cut in with ease.
"Because you guys have fake badges." Beckett was going to letting these Wells get in her head.
"Now who's to say their fake?" H.G questioned.
Somehow the other agents had stepped back into the room and Castle, Ryan, Esposito and Pete had inched into the hallway. Leaving Beckett and the Brits practically in their own little world.
"We looked them up, they are not in the database" Beckett said putting her hands on her hips.
"Alright so you believe our badges aren't legitimate, I don't see how that would give you cause to arrest us all" Christina pointed out.
"Right now, I see you as an accomplice giving me the right to take you down to the station for questioning."
"Perhaps we could work out some kind of deal" H.G tried, her confidence not wavering.
"No! no deals we tell them nothing!" Artie shouted from the sidelines but was immediately silenced when mother and daughter turned to him with matching death glares.
This exchange gave Beckett the opportunity find her footing (Thanks a lot Artie) "Listen you all are coming with me, no deals, no arguments got it?" Beckett ordered.
"I'm not going anywhere" Helena huffed.
"Resisting Arrest" Esposito sang coming in to cuff her.
"Ummm...those aren't going todo you any good" Myka warned remembering when she and H.G first met.
"Doesn't matter if she runs, I have a gun." Esposito smirked.
"Oh real nice, arresting a woman and threatening to kill her in front of her daughter." Steve said shaking his head."That's cold."
"Look away young one" Claudia sighed dramatically puting a hand over Christina's eyes.
"Oh please" Christina rolled her eyes shrugging away from Claudia.
"Stop fidgeting" Ryan manged as he tried to control a restless Pete.
"I don't wanna go!" Pete whined.
"Stop complaining" Beckett snapped, pulling out her handcuffs and looking at the rest of the agents "Am I going to have to use these" she asked. No one responded. "Ill take that as a yes."
"Beckett are we taking Leena?" Castle suddenly questioned feeling as if it was time he joined the conversation.
"Yes Castle" Beckett said
"What? Leena? she wouldn't hurt anyone" Claudia tried.
Beckett ignored her "Lets go." she pointed for the hallway. "Remember... No. Trouble."
That of course wasn't the case, I mean this is the Warehouse gang we're talking about.
"I demand my phone call!" Pete shouted as Ryan lead him towards the elevator.
"Who are you going to call?" H.G yelled furiously as Esposito shoved her in after Ryan.
Steve smiled hearing the line "Im putting Ghost busters on the list"
"Really now?" Myka exclaimed frazzled.
"Myka there is always time for the list." Clauida said seriously.
"List?" Castle questioned. "There was nothing about any list in the show."
Beckett rolled her eyes, "Castle" she warned.
"No worries Detective, we won't be answering any of his questions." Christina said shortly. "He lost that right when Detective Esposito pulled out his silly handcuffs and arrested my mother."
"What exactly are you hoping to gain by taking us!" Artie grunted mad that none of this was in his control.
Beckett didn't answer.
"We aren't going to jail right?" Claudia asked trying to reassure herself.
"Hey you could always try for the insanity plea " Steve comforted, "Come to think of it we all could... "
"Oh so just back to the loony bin- great" Clauida said with no enthusiasm.
"Can you please try and stay positive" Myka snapped.
"Wait I just realized we didn't bring Mrs. Fredric!" Pete shouted. "We really could be stuck in jail like for real!"
"My goodness, you honestly believe some prison will be able to hold us" H.G scoffed.
"Why are you making this difficult?" Ryan asked with an insincere tone.
"We're going to Prison!" Pete told him.
"Mr. Lattimer stop panicking we will be fine" Christina rolled her eyes "Honestly try and hold on to the little respect I still hold for you."
"Hey, what did we say about that...Stop making me sound so old!" He said all thoughts of jail now abandoned at the sounds of that title.
"I apologize, Pete" Everyone was on egde now.
"Beckett this is like free TV" Castle whispered staring at the agents as they continued to talk and bicker.
"Their faking it Castle remember that" she whispered back.
Castle, of course, didn't listen.
The agents stood in a row outside the interrogation rooms, unintentionally attracting a lot of attetion from the precinct. Not because of who they are but because of the bored expression on each of their faces.
They had been standing there for around an hour now, all anger faded.
Christina decided this would be a great opportunity to observe. Last time they had locked her in that break room, now she was out in the open free to let her eyes wander, atakings everything in. At Beckett's desk stood Castle, Ryan, Esposito and of course Beckett. Whatever they were discussing (which was undoubtably involving Christina and her colleagues) they weren't exactly agreeing on.
Over in Captain Gates office Christina saw the Captain nonchalantly looking out her window at the agents, probably trying to figure them out. Suppressing a smirk Christina continued her gaze over to a box on Esposito's desk. In it was their personal belongings meaning four teslas, one mini tesla, a tesla grenade, a grappler, a gun, a tesla/gun/grappler, eight Farnsworths, a world jumping artifact, and a teleporter... now we know why the detectives were so frazzled.
Christina's gaze then drifted to her fellow agents. Myka was first in the line, acting as plain and unemotional as possible. Surprisingly, Christina didn't see her like that often, she was always kind of in "over protective big sister" mode. Next to Myka was Pete who was having a staring contest with Steve (Steve was wining). Christina shook her head that man is such a child. Steve was completely bored with their competition, which was normal, it took a lot to get him excited.
Suddenly Christina heard Beckett yell something about interrogations effectively snapping her out of her trance. She was surprised when the detectives didn't come over and simply continued the disscusion. And so Christina went back to her thoughts.
Next in the line came Artie who was scribbling, what Christina expected to be case notes, on a piece of paper, mumbling to himself. Claudia,who was on his left, was giving him a weird look not getting why Artie had to be doing that right now. Christina was just shocked that Claudia was still attempting to understand that man. Shaking her head she moved on. Leena was passing the time by reading auras. She has that look on her face that only she could pull off. Christina smiled softly at the woman, before moving to the last person in the row. She practically jumped backwards into the wall when she found her mother looking strait at her with a face of confusion.
"What on earth are you doing?" H.G questioned in half seriousness with a slight smile playing on her lips.
Christina let out a breath "Mother..." Regaining her composure she stood up strait and looked Helena in the eyes. "How long have you been staring at me?"
"Since we walked in" H.G stated dismissively.
"Of course" Christina rolled her eyes. "How silly of me not to have realized."
"Now what were you staring at?" H.G stubbornly tried again.
"I was just having a look around" Christina shrugged as she leaned back against the wall.
"...alright...I'll accept that" Helena decided doing the same."-this is a rather interesting situation we've found ourselves in." She said a moment later.
"I've been in stranger" Christina smirked.
"Oh really" Helena responded "Do tell."
"Have you read about the 60's yet?"
Helena laughed "Oh my"
"I was sent after an artifact that literally made people dance to death and to retrive the object I was forced to enter a dancing competition." Christina said thinking back."It was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done." Her cheeks actually got a little red.
"That darling, is something I would have loved to see" Helena teased nudgeing her shoulder.
"I'm glad my discomfort brings you so such joy" Christina sarcastically replied.
"What else is a mother for?" H.G asked clasping her hands together.
As if on cue the elevator opened across the precinct reveling Martha Rogers and Alexis.
"We'll this should be interesting" H.G mused. Christina hummed in agreement as the two red heads walked over to the Detectives and Castle.
As soon as they reached the desk the agents came into view.
"Oh my gosh... Thats like all of them!" Alexis the fan girl squealed walking over quickly.
"Richard, are these people..." Martha trailed off with a hesitant face.
"For real, oh yes. Mother your looking at the actual Warehouse 13 Agents " Castle said with absolute certainty.
"They just think their agents, ok they aren't really-" Beckett tried but was off with a simple wave.
"Details." Martha said dismissively, as she dramatically strode for the agents.
Alexis was now moving from one agent to the next asking a million questions per minute.
"Can you really tell when people are lying?" She asked Steve.
"Yes?"
(Now to Leena) "Do I have an aura?"
"Of course, everyone does."
(Looking over at Myka) "Do you like your hair curly or strait better?"
"It's kind of hard to chose..." Myka said with a weak smile.
(Turning to Artie) "Do you get back with Vanessa after the whole evil side thing?"
Artie didn't have a response, he just stood there.
(Coming to Clauida) "Why did you stop putting a color streak in your hair?"
"Uhhh... I don't know"
Martha then came up next to Alexis, asking questions and making comments of her own.
"Your even handsomer in person" She said pinching Pete's cheek playfully.
"Yes I know" Pete sighed grinning at Martha's complement.
"Oh and you two my goodness those accents - I would love it if you could help teach some of my students that for an upcoming play."
Helena's eyes went wide, stealing a glance at her daughter she saw a matching expression "...Why thank you that's very sweet of you to say" H.G replied finally.
Christina just gave a polite smile, completely shocked at the bluntness off the actress.
Soon everyone was talking like crazy, asking more questions, making more comments, then all that was turning into conversations and so on.
But of course the agents were still in custody and Detective Beckett wasn't about to let anyone forget it.
"Quite!" Beckett shouted "You!" she pointed to Steve "Interrogation room now!"
Steve silently headed for door.
"Not. A. Word. Out of any of you" Beckett demanded looking at the rest of the agents. Then she walked for the room.
Castle attempted to follow but before they stepped in Beckett stopped him, "I think it's best if You sit this one out Castle."
"But-"
"Espo!" she shouted, "Your with me!"
"Got it" he said walking over.
"But-"
"Castle" she warned, "Get over this crazy theory and then you can come on,deal?"
"Beckett " Castle whined, but she had already closed the door.
Over coming the defeat quickly, Castle and Ryan wasted no time finding their places in the observation room ready watch the interrogation. Leaving a discouraged Alexis and Martha, along with some once again furious agents.
Sorry this chapter is kind of bad:( Hopefully I'll have a better flow for the next one.
