Richard Castle is totally in awe of his wife. She picks up the phone and there is a jet waiting to take them to Delaware. She dials another number and upon arrival they have an SUV waiting on the tarmac along with a driver. She calls for a meeting of local and federal law enforcement and all in attendance are under her command.

"May I have everyone's attention:" Becket speaks loudly and with authority "We have credible evidence that there is a clandestine operation taking place at a hotel in the area. It is possible that this is a sanctioned holding location, however they are keeping at least two individuals against their will and not involved in any action that would have brought them to be detained here. Mr. Castle and I are going inside and attempt to penetrate the shroud surrounding this facility. Once inside, we will attempt to locate and retrieve these two without disrupting their other operations. We have assignments for all departments. Officer Esposito has your instructions. Please see him for any details."

Beckett pauses while several commanders retrieve their paperwork "Any questions?"

Another pause "OK let's go get these women out"

The local police and fire chief walk over to Beckett "Ms. Beckett, can we have a word?"

"Of course"

"Ma'am, we heard a rumor that there is some type of biological threat involved here. Is this true?"

"Chief, I will assure you that the only thing. And I repeat the only thing happening in your community is the rescue of these two women. If you look at what we brought, it is only tactical gear. We have no biological protection with us of any kind."

"You would tell us if we had anything else to be concerned about?"

"Yes chief. My normal job is a detective in New York. I know how you are concerned. So from one police officer to another, we are here on a rescue mission. Nothing else"

The two officers speak in unison "Thank you detective" and they walk back to their group

Kate then steps back over to her husband and partners Ryan and Esposito "Guys, I hope this goes well. Everyone here is concerned that they are in danger. I hope I quenched their fears"

Ryan looks over to Castle "Well, if you to planned this as well as the Bracken video, I'm good"

"Esposito agrees "Yeah! Me too"

The four exit the hanger and enter the awaiting SUV. The drive is about an hour from the airport to the hotel. As the vehicle pulls out onto the boulevard Kate's phone rings. It's Lanie

"Hey Lanie. What's up?"

{listen}

Kate listens for a moment "Oh I guess we can"

{listen}

"OK, I would use that list, plus don't forget everyone in the precinct"

{listen}

"Paula will handle the press"

{listen}

"Lanie, I trust you. The cake and food is all on the list you and I worked on last week."

{listen}

"I trust the planner to take care of those details."

{listen}

"All right. Great! We are about to go into the hotel and get these girls out. I'll call you when I can. OK, Bye" Beckett hangs up

Ricks looks at Kate "Lanie working on the wedding plans?"

"Yeah. She has some free time until the lab results come back on the DEA agent, so she wanted to get with the caterer and get it all ordered"

Castle looks at his lady "Does she need anything? She have enough money?"

Kate takes Rick's hand then leans into his ear "She has more than enough. I love you so much for wanting to do this."

"I just want it to be perfect."

She smiles "It already is"

Beckett's phone rings again. Caller ID says Fallon "Beckett. Hello Agent Fallon" She listens for a moment "Really? That's great. Can you send the details to my tablet? We are on our way to the hotel now and I will let you know when we have the girls out. Talk to you then" She hangs up from the call

"Agent Fallon got the ringleader to finally talk. When he told O'Leary that he was involved in terrorist activities and would be spending the rest of his natural life living in Guantanamo, he opened up. The details are being sent to my pad right now"

Beckett takes her tablet from her bag and brings up the file on the operation. Recently added documents contain the confession from the dock workers. She starts reading the summary information to the other three.

"The dock workers were paid very well to take the container off of the inter modal train and place it in an area of the dock with no cameras so that whoever was unloading it would not be seen by security. They claim they did not know it was involving terrorism. They also claim that the people who arranged this had good ole southern accents. No foreign accents. The dock workers thought that these guys were just smuggling drugs or possibly guns"

"So Beckett, We have home grown terrorists?" Ryan comments

"It looks that way, Ryan. Fallon had tech looking at the cameras that do exist nearby and they saw a small compact car enter the area and then car along with a panel van leave just a few minutes later. So it appears that van was inside the container. Nothing to unload they just got in and drove it out quickly"

Castle is looking over Kate's shoulder at the tablet "Can they get a license plate from the video. It looks like it might be too blurry"

"They are working on it and will get that to us as soon as it finish rendering. They said it will be later today. So for now, we wait"

The car is quiet for a minute then Ryan asks "OK Beckett, Castle when are these nuptials planned?"

"Three weeks from last weekend. At our place in the Hamptons Javi" Castle comments

Castle's comment about the Hamptons being "our" place makes Kate smile. It's not just his place anymore

"Bro. You don't have a brother so who's your best man?"

Esposito is trying to see if he is picking Ryan or himself "Actually, I am having a best woman. Lexi is standing up with me."

"Hey man. That's cool having your daughter do that. I think she is the one affected the most by you two getting married. It has been just you, her, and your mom for so many years, adding another woman to the house must be a little tough for them"

Castle takes Beckett's hand "You guys didn't know we were together for the last year. But Alexis and my mother did and they were totally on board with us being a couple. They knew that Kate and I were heading toward the marriage so it is not much of an adjustment for them"

Esposito looks at Ryan "Just so you two know. We were getting worried that you were getting farther away from each other and might not become a couple. We saw…correct that, EVERYONE saw you were meant for each other. We saw the love you had."

Kate says "thanks guys" just as the SUV pulls into the hotel.

Ryan and Esposito walk into the lobby first then Castle and Beckett go in a few minutes later.

As the couple step up to the desk the clerk asks what he can do for them. Kate answers first "Hello this is my fiancé Richard Castle and I am Kate Beckett. We were looking to have our wedding reception here at your hotel and we would like to see the Cactus Room"

When the words "Kate Beckett" are spoken the manager turns and looks toward the desk. The look of sheer terror on his face is evident. He knows that Kate Beckett is one of the women they have incarcerated in the facility and the woman standing at the desk looks exactly like her. He reaches to the phone nearby and dials a number.

When the phone is answered he says "Sir, We have a problem. We have A BIG problem"
