Chapter 6

Hope you enjoy!

Beckett had acted on impulse. She knew nothing about this guy, he hadn't entered the show yet for her. She knew she should have chosen someone she had some background on. But no, everyone had been talking and laughing and getting along, she had picked random. And now here they were; the guy was sitting on one side of the table and Beckett was standing on the other.

"So what's your name?" Beckett asked taking a seat.

The guy smiled almost sarcastically. "Steve Jinks"

"Ok, Mr. Jinks you wanna tell me a little about yourself?"

"What do wanna know?"

Beckett thought for a moment. "I'd like to know exactly what you and your friends involvement in my investigation is."

Steve smiled that smile again and shook his head "You've come to the wrong place Detective."

Beckett was silent Approach from another angle "How long have you worked at Warehouse 13?"

"I have no idea what your talking about." He said.

"Listen, I heard you and your friends talking about it-"

"Lie."

"Exscuse me?" Beckett practically stuttered.

Suddenly there was pounding on the glass "Beckett!" they heard "He can tell when people are lying!"

Beckett shot him a glare but ignored the information. She then turned back to Steve and sighed, "I've seen the show ok, so don't try to mess with me."

"Detective Beckett, you aren't going to get anything out of me" Steve told her bluntly.

Beckett narrowed her eyes at him. "Then please send in Ms. Donavan"

"Will do" he stated standing and heading for the door.

"Claudia Donavan"

Claudia raised an eyebrow "You've heard of me" it wasn't a question.

"I've seen the show" Beckett told her, taking a seat.

"Really, is it good?" Claudia asked leaning forward suddenly excited.

Beckett gave her an "Are you serious" look. "Like you haven't seen it"

"Not yet, Artie's hasn't given us time too"

"Artie...right..." Beckett picked up her case folder."So what are you doing poking around in my investigation?"

Claudia was silent.

Beckett stood up quickly and put her hands on the table, leaning towards the red head."Here's the deal, these people were killed in a way that suggest an 'artifact' was involved." She showed Claudia a picture of the victims (when they were alive) "Then you and your friends showed up acting like a bunch of characters from that same show...Can you see where I'm coming from now?"

"We're not acting like a bunch of characters" Claudia said simply.

Beckett stood up strait and paced a little, before turing back to Claudia her hands on her hips. "Your trying to tell me your really Claudia Donavan"

"Bingo" The tech girl smirked putting her feet on the table.

Beckett shook her head, "This is ridiculous" she muttered then she looked back at the at the the techie. "Ok, Ill be right back." And with that she headed for the observation room.

Entering the room Esposito and Ryan didnt say a word.

"See!" Castle shouted with a wide smile, "I told you"

"Castle" Beckett warned and then to the boys " What do you think?"

"I think we need to hear the whole story" Esposito decided.

Ryan agreed, and Beckett headed back for the room.

Walking in Claudia was still sitting, feet propped up. "Ok, explain."

"Sorry, I'm not allowed " Clauida said.

"Then send in someone who is" Beckett demanded.

Claudia nodded and went for the hall.

"Artie" Claudia said, "She wants to see you"

Artie chuckled "Of course she does"

"I want an explanation" Beckett stated.

Artie was silent.

"If your really Arthur Neilson, I need to how" she tried again.

Silence.

"We might be able to help each other out here."

Artie just sat there with a blank expression arms crossed.

"Fine, don't talk" Beckett said, "Ill just ask your agents"

Artie laughed "Good luck with that."

"Myka Bering"

"Detective Beckett"Myka leaned back a little in the chair, eyeing Beckett who sat across from her.

"I'm going to lay it out for you simple" Beckett began, "you and your partner trespassed on an official crime scene, impersonated federal agents and your all carrying unregistered weapons. I don't have to tell you what the consequences of those charges are. Fortunately for you I'm in a good mood so maybe we can work something out - all I want to know is how you all can be...you - and any information you have about my murder investigation."

Myka shook her head, "You obviously don't know much about me and my team Detective, if you did you'd know none of us would even consider telling any of you anything".

From behind the glass Castle and Esposito were watching, 100% focused on the interrogations.

"Got it!" Ryan announced walking in with a bowl of popcorn.

"Shhhh" Espo shushed him.

"Sorry..." He walked over to Castles right "What I miss?" He asked.

"Beckett just offered Myka a deal." Castle whispered.

"But of course she didnt go for it." Esposito added taking a handful of popcorn.

"How much you want a bet she goes for Leena next?" Castle asked.

"Trying to hit the weaker target" Ryan agreed.

"I don't think even Beckett could crack Leena" Esposito said eyes not leaving the other room "That woman is like a vault of secrets"

Castles eyes went wide, as he leaned towards the glass and knocking quickly. "Beckett! Try and get Leena to tell you what her last name is!"

In the interrogation room Myka and Beckett jerked their heads to the mirror.

Castle smiled a satisfied grin before reaching for another handful of popcorn.

The interrogation with Leena lasted two minutes. Apparently Beckett can't stand that 'aura reading' look the innkeeper kept giving her.

Anyway...next up for the questioning was H.G.

The boys had warned her already, not to utter any threats or even think about mentioning anything about Christina under any circumstances. But Beckett was brave... and at this point slightly desperate so she ignored them.

"Do you realize what could happen to your child if you were found guilty of these charges and sent to prison?" Beckett asked.

"Are you threatening me Detective?" H.G said darkly, standing up slowly.

"Yeah, maybe a little" Beckett responded stepping towards the Victorian. "For all I know you could be committing these murders, wouldn't be surprising considering your record."

"My what?" HG snapped.

"You want to tell me what horrible, unspeakable thing you did to get yourself bronzed for over a century was Miss Wells?" Beckett questioned confidently.

Suddenly a sly smile broke out on H.G's face "Well obviously you don't know as much about me as I thought" HG said smugly sitting back down realizing she had the upper hand.

Then they heard the familiar knowing on the glass.

"Beckett! she asked to be bronzed!" Castle shouted as he continued tapping "After her daughter was murdered!"

"Come on, why'd you have to say that?" Espo complained loud enough for the woman to hear.

"Would it have killed you to say 'Spoiler Alert'" Ryan added in the same tone of voice as Esposito.

"Guys!" Beckett yelled, "Zip it."

There was silence and Beckett turned back to HG who was wearing amused expression.

Beckett stared at the woman for a moment Her daughter was murdered? Well apparently not... Helena continued to hold her silence Yep. she's silently laughing at me. Beckett inwardly nodded.

"Your not going to tell me anything are you."

HG smirked and simply shook her head.

Beckett let out a frustrated groan and threw her folder on the table. "Alright I'm finished!" She strode for exit and threw open the door. Stepping into the hallway revealing some confused agents. "Throw them all in a cell!" she commanded.

Sorry about all the grammar mistakes!
