When Castle arrives back at the EOC the news reporters are all still present out front. They are just hoping to stop someone with information and try to get a scoop for the eleven o'clock news. The officer driving Castle pulls the cruiser into the basement garage to avoid the media. Castle thanks the officer and reminds him to bring his books to the station and he will gladly autograph them.

When he exits the elevator on the fourth floor, Rick goes looking to find his wife. He finds her in the large conference room with the mayor and the police and fire command staff, giving them the latest information she has. Unfortunately they have not made much progress on the target of the attack or to even verify that there is a credible threat to the city.

Rick steps over to Kate's desk and places his jacket on his usual chair to wait for her to finish with the briefing. He hears the door of the conference room open as the group leaves the room.

The mayor sees Castle and walks over "Hey Rickey, how's it going?"

"Well, Bob, it has been better. Pretty stressful right now, but I know we will find the answers and get the city back to normal"

"I trust you and that lovely lady you married to get this done."

"Thanks Bob. I just wish this were one of my books and I could just rewrite what is happening"

"Well, Rickey, I know it will all work out with you on the case. Oh by the way I understand you and Kate will be having a formal wedding in a couple of weeks. I will most certainly be there."

"Thanks Bob"

"Back to work for all of us now" As the mayor walks to the elevator

Beckett enters the bull pin area "Rick, did you get Angie taken care of?"

"OH Yes, she was very happy to see the clothes. I think she went straight into the bathroom and started getting cleaned up and dressed. She had a giant smile on her face. I think she's going to be fine now that the people who caused this are behind bars"

Rick is looking at what is normally the murder board. This time it is an incident board. They are placing all the information they have onto the board to try to make some sense about it.

"Kate, do we know if any of the people from the hotel have knowledge about the threat?"

Beckett pauses while she thinks "I don't know. We can question them and see if anything shakes out. It is possible Angie may have said something to one of them or given some clue. Let's go to the Federal building and question them"

Esposito walks up "Boss, we just got a partial on the van that was spotted on the video leaving the docks. It was a New Mexico tag. We are trying to narrow it down right now"

Beckett turns to Esposito "New Mexico plates on a van that was shipped from Texas to New York? It sound like this involves a lot of people."

"Yeah! But without the who or a why where do we start?"

"Javi, Rick and I are going to the Federal Building to question the prisoners from the hotel to see if the women gave them any intel we can use. Then we are going back to the hospital to see if Angie is clear headed enough to help us you are in command here until I get back."

"Got it boss"

Beckett and Castle head out to the elevator.

When they arrive at the Federal building they see the media outside trying to find out more about what is happening. The TV reporters have decided that this is not just a drill and there is some real threat that the police are covering up

The doors to the building are secured and the guard asks for ID from the couple. After verifying the pair, they are granted entrance. Beckett asks the guard where the command post is set up and they are directed to a large training room that has been modified to become an EOC.

Beckett and Castle check in with the FBI commander Special Agent Maria Villarreal and tell her that they want to interview the prisoners brought in from the Delaware facility.

"Certainly Commander Beckett. Do you want an FBI agent present?"

"No that will not be necessary. Mr. Castle will be adequate"

Agent Villarreal makes a call and tells someone what they need. She hangs up then turns to Beckett. "Please follow me to the interview room "

The trio walks down the hall thru a secure set of doors then into an interview room not much different that the one Beckett spends so much time in at the 12th.

Her and Castle sit down at the table and wait for the prisoner to be brought in. The first man is the guard from the hotel who made the mistake of attempting to search Beckett. He is brought in, and shackled to the table and the detention officer leaves the room.

"Mr. Kirkland. How are the accommodations here? I trust a bit better than you were offering me and Mr. Castle earlier?"

Gordon Kirkland sits in his chair glaring directly at Beckett

"You know not talking is going to do you no good. In fact at this time you might consider spilling everything you know about the little illegal operation you were involved with"

Still he says nothing

"You do realize that you detained two field operatives with homeland security and also Mr. Castle and me against our will. Oh yes. Let's not forget the little illegal sexual contact against me. You are going away for a very long time"

He finally speaks up "You two have no idea what is going to rain down on your heads"

Castle looks directly into his eyes "YOU sir have no idea what is happening here. We are the ones who put Senator Bracken away so dealing with you and your little group downtown inside Lexington Towers is a walk in the park" Castle looks at his watch "in fact your group has already been shut down as of about fifteen minutes ago. So, your only chance of ever seeing sunlight again lies in what you do today to help yourself. So what will it be? Gitmo or minimum security in Georgia?"

"How do you know about the tower? That is highly classified"

"OH! Our clearance goes way above you" Beckett answers

Kirkland sits quietly again "I want immunity to all charges"

"If your information proves to be accurate, then we will recommend the US attorney take that into consideration. However, the sexual contact issue will be up to my husband"

"You don't have to tell him about it. You can make it go away"

Castle glares at Kirkland again "I am the husband."

The prisoner takes a deep breath "We were told that these women had been deep undercover and were having trouble coming back to reality. We gave them the normal cycle of drugs that usually brings them back. But one of them, the one who called herself Richardson immediately went into a coma and we could not get her back. The second one that we were told was Kate Beckett fought the name issue. She insisted her name was not Beckett but was Angie Cooper. Now that I have seen you in person, you look almost exactly like the other two, like you could be sisters"

"I am the one and only Kate Beckett and we are sisters"

"OH CRAP!"

"What else did she say?"

"She kept talking about some drugs and plague and how we were all going to die if she didn't get out"

"Guess what Gordon! She was telling the truth and if we had not gotten her out of your hands, this plague might just happen"

Doctor Josh Davidson is sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital contemplating the events of earlier. His chance running into his old love. He really felt like he and Kate could have had a life together, but she seemed determined to take a different path than the one he could have given to her. She had told him that she "really, really liked him" but then she said it wasn't enough. What wasn't enough? Liking him or the fact that he was always gone and never being there for her? Thinking back to that day she told him it was over, he couldn't be sure if they split because of his always being gone or she was in love with Richard Castle?

When he saw her today, there was no Castle. In fact, she appeared to be alone. In the past Castle was always around getting in the way. Nosing into Kate's personal life. Going places that was reserved for romantic relationships. Not some tag-a-long writer

Another doctor, Timothy Hernandez sits down next to Josh "Josh, you look like you have something on your mind?"

"I just ran into my old girlfriend upstairs at the isolation unit. Boy she was looking good"

"OH Really? A chance encounter? Are you going to try to reconcile with her?"

"Well, she did have on a wedding ring"

"Uh OH! Off limits!"

"I hate to be this way, but I never really got over her. The ring she is wearing a very inexpensive plain band so I figure she must have married someone of low financial means. Really, I can afford to give her so much more than that. Obviously I can do way more than the cheapskate she is married to."

"Hey doc tread lightly now. You could find yourself on the bad end of something if you mess with some other man's lady"

"Oh how good can the guy be? He gives her a $100.00 wedding ring to wear. Even that writer guy that hung around her um, Castle somebody? He had a lot more money than whoever she is married to"

"Listen Josh you be very careful in whatever you are planning"

"Don't worry Tim. I think I will go back up to isolation and see if she is still there" Doctor Davidson gets up and heads for the elevator

When he gets off on the 4th floor, he passes thru the secure access points until he arrives in the waiting area. He looks around and immediately recognizes the woman sitting at a table evidently reading a book. She is wearing the blouse that he gave to her just a month before she was shot. He was kind of partial to this blouse. It brought out her figure much to his liking.

WOW she still looks good in those clothes. He quietly steps up to her and sits down at the table across from her. After a brief moment she looks up to Josh "Hello how are you" Angie asks

"Hello Kate. I just wanted to talk to you."

Total and complete terror appears in Angie's face. She starts breathing fast the first words out of her mouth are "MY NAME IS NOT KATE"

"Yes, Kate" Josh says "You are Kate Beckett and we used to date briefly. I was your boyfriend"

Angie pulls back almost falling out of the chair "I AM NOT KATE BECKETT" she screams

"Kate, what is wrong? Why are you screaming? It's just me, Josh"

"I don't know a Josh. My name is not Kate…my name is… What is my name? I am…Someone help me"

Doctor Sydney Evans appears from the hallway "What is going on in e?" he speaks quite loudly

Josh answers "I was just talking to Kate Beckett here and she reacted" pointing at Angie

"This is NOT Kate Beckett. And who are you anyway?"

"I am Kate's ex boyfriend. I am Doctor Josh Davidson"

"Well Doctor Davidson you have just undone all of our work trying to get her help. She was brainwashed into believing she was Kate Beckett. She is not"

Angie has now regressed back to where she was when she arrived at the hospital.
