Here you go, finally. Hope you like it :)

Kate turned to the house and smiled, "Hey dad." she walked up to him and gave him a hug.

Jim hugged her back then lent back, "What are you doing here Katie?"

"We've got an op tonight and we wanted to practice on the bikes and the best thing I could think of was the empty lot down the road."

Jim nodded then looked over her shoulder and smiled, "Hello Rick."

"Hey Mr Beckett, it's good to see you again," the especially after the last time they had met went unsaid but the two men could read it on the others face.

"You too Rick." He released his daughter and walked over and shook Rick's hand.

He released Rick's hand and turned back to his daughter. "Who are your friends Katie?"

Kate turned to look at Tony and Ziva and smiled at her father. "These are NCIS Special Agents Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David."

Jim went over and shook the both of their hands, "It's nice to meet the pair of you." He paused for a moment then continued, "NCIS, that's navy cops right?"

Ziva nodded, "Yes it is."

Jim smiled then turned back to Kate, "Cup of tea Katie-bug?"

Kate opened her mouth the answer but was cut off when her phone rang. She dug it out her pocket and answered it, giving her father an apologetic smile. "Beckett. Hey Espo. What can I do for you?" She stopped for a moment listening then said, "Ok, thanks Espo. We're at my dad's so we'll be back in a half hour or so. "

She hung up and looked at Jim, "Sorry dad."

Jim waved his hand, "Go do your job Katie, just be careful ok."

Kate kissed him on the cheek and hugged him again, "I'm always careful dad."

He nodded "I know Kate, but I'm your dad so I'm going to worry."

Kate nodded again, "My next day off I'll come round and see you properly ok."

Jim nodded then watched as his daughter got on her bike. She started the engine at the same time Tony did. Rick got on his bike but didn't start his engine as Jim gestured for him to wait. Kate didn't notice and pulled slowly all, Tony following close behind. Rick watched as they made their way slowly down the road then turned to Jim, who had walked over to him.

"Look after her please Rick. I know she's a big girl now but I always get nervous when she tells me about her work, especially after the summer."

Rick nodded, "I've got her back, Mr Beckett, always have always will."

Jim smiled happily and shook Rick's hand again. "You better go before you get left behind."

He took a step back and Rick swung his leg over the bike and started the engine. He pulled out and quickly followed after Kate.

A half hour later they had parked in the garage and were on their way up to the bull pen. Once the lift stopped they all got out and walked over into the conference room where everyone was standing. Once inside all the talk stopped and Gibbs turned to speak to them. "Given that we know this biker gang is ruthless, we want to send you in this afternoon rather than this evening. The less time you spend there after dark the better."

"Boss, are you sure we'll get the drug trade if we go in earlier?" Tony asked, leaning against the table.

Gibbs nodded, "We were talking it over while you were out and we all agreed that it was more likely that the deals would be done when there were less people in the bar."

Kate nodded, "Sounds like a good idea."

"That's why they decided it Kate," Rick joked, going to lean beside Tony.

Kate smiled while Esposito shook his head. Still looking at the board Kate asked, "Got anywhere with the murder?"

McGee shook his head, "Not really no. no security cameras in the area and the uniforms got nothing."

Esposito nodded, "Yeah, exactly what we thought."

Kate nodded. "So when are we going in?"

Gibbs spoke again, "As soon as we've eaten something and you've been wired with mikes."

Kate nodded and stood still while Esposito attached small mike to the strap of her bra. Abbs did the same to Ziva while Ryan and McGee attached mikes to Tony and Rick's necklines where they should hopefully be hidden even if they took their jackets off. Once they were all done they were asked to think of a distress word.

Once the mikes were tested and the distress word sorted Rick asked, "The normal?"

Kate nodded, "Thanks Rick." She looked at the NCIS team, "Chinese alright?"

They all nodded and Rick left. He was back in ten minutes with a big bag of food. He handed Kate a cup of coffee and got a smile in return as she took a two handed sip. He put the bag on the table and started unpacking, "Pick what you want, I always get too much."

Everyone dived in and were all soon munching their way through the stack of food. After a few minutes Rick spoke, "Do you know how hard it is to carry take out on a motor bike?"

Kate laughed, "You didn't."

Rick nodded, "Yeah ended up tying it to the back of the bike."

Kate laughed, "Only you Castle would go and buy enough food for an army on a bike."

Everyone laughed and finished their food in silence. The left overs were carried to the break room fridge and stuck inside. Back in the conference room Tony, Ziva, Kate and Rick were getting ready to go to the bar. Tony and Ziva had given their service weapons to Gibbs and Ziva was looking at her knife, obviously deciding if she could get away with it or not. Tony went to stand behind her and whispered in her ear, "Stick the little one in your boot, should be hidden."

Ziva nodded her thanks and picked up her smallest knife before lifting her foot and sticking it into the top of her boot, pushing the top down so that it wasn't poking out and visible.

Gibbs came into the room and asked if they were ready. All four nodded and were leading the way to the lift when Gates stopped them. "Any sign of trouble I want you out, you and Castle seem to get in more trouble than the rest of the people under my command put together."

Kate nodded, "Yes sir."

Gates nodded and turned and left, Kate rolling her eyes at her retreating back and looked at Rick, "Ugh, she acts like every time we walk out the door we're going to get kidnapped or something."

Esposito came up behind her and said, "That's cause you do Beckett, your track record isn't brilliant."

Kate rolled her eyes again but otherwise ignored him. The eight of them, McGee, Gibbs, Esposito and Ryan were going to get the van, got into the lift and pushed the button for the garage. As the doors shut Kate spoke to the surveillance group, "You realise don't you that you're not going to be able to park the van anywhere near the bar, you'll put them on alert before we even start."

McGee said, sounding confused, "Wouldn't a van be normal in that area?"

Kate shook her head, "As Biker's Rest is such a popular hangout for bikers, especially those with warrants out, they know the cars and vans that normally park for extended lengths of time in the areas."

Esposito tipped his head to the side and asked, "How come you know so much about the area Beckett?"

Kate shrugged, "When I was in vice I got sent to the area a lot and a few times me cover was blown because there was an unknown car parked in the area."

Esposito nodded while Gibbs looked like he was concentrating hard on something. After a moment he spoke, "How far away do you think we should park so not to raise suspicion?"

Kate was silent for a moment before saying, "At least ten blocks to be on the safe side."

Gibbs nodded while Esposito and Ryan looked concerned. The left stopped and the doors opened. Kate walked out first closely followed by everyone else. They all walked to the van and once they were there Kate turned to Esposito and Ryan. "We'll be fine guys. I can take care of myself and it's not like I'm going in on my own."

The boys both still looked unsure but they both silently got in the van, intending to keep a very very close eye on anything that happened.
