Don't come looking for me. I know where to hide
On the trip from the hospital to the station Beckett asks Angie if there is anything else she remembers Charlie telling her about the group. Any strange activities, habits, foods, anything at all. Angie could not remember anything but she still had a couple of holes in her memory from the brainwashing she received
When they arrived at the station, Beckett had to take her to get a badge or someone would have to stay with her every moment but Beckett knew Angie would probably be ok to leave alone.
Once inside Beckett checked in with the watch desk then went looking for her husband. When she arrived at the bull pin, now the war room she did not see Castle, Ryan or Esposito. Beckett looked at several officers standing in the hallway "Do you know where the guys went?" pointing to Ryan's desk
"Yeah. Ryan and Esposito went to the UN building. Castle called and suggested that they might come up with some idea of what is happening if they are on the ground. So they left about an hour ago"
"Thanks guys" Beckett responds as she heads back to her desk. As she approaches her spot in the room, she sees Angie sitting in Rick's chair. Kate still gets a little protective of that chair. That chair has been 'His" chair and no one else's for many years. Before she can say anything about the chair she hears a voice on the radio. One of the cruisers close to the UN building has spotted the truck.
Beckett immediately steps over to the communication area and starts listening. The officers have spotted the truck. It appears that here is no one inside. It is on a parking lot near a café. Beckett takes the radio microphone tells the dispatcher she is taking command of that vehicle. She directs the officers to park their cruiser in a manor where they can watch the vehicle until she can get a covert vehicle there.
Beckett turns to Detective Karpowski. "Get a covert camera, grab your partner and you two take a covert vehicle and head down there. I want you to set up the camera and let me know when you have it finished. Once you get set up on the car. Stand by for next step
Beckett is happy with the current movement on the case. She wished Castle were here to share the excitement
Angie has been watching all the activity on the monitors. "Beckett, this is really cool. You get to watch the action from here without ever getting your hair wet"
Kate smiles back to Angie thinking getting my hair wet can actually be fun. I better get my mind back on the duties at hand. "Angie lets go into the break room and get a bit to eat before the real action starts"
The two women grab a couple of sandwiches and head over to the conference room to eat. Kate tries to pull any more information from Angie, but she tells Beckett that she has told her everything she can remember
"Angie, do you have any more thoughts about this? Any more information come to mind?"
"No Beckett. Nothing. I was hoping something might flash back, but nothing right now?"
Officer Hastings steps up to the door "Sorry to bother you, but they have the camera set up and we are getting a live feed from the location"
"Thanks Hastings, we are on our way" Beckett and Angie take what's left of their lunch and walk back into the war room.
Beckett hears a loud gasp from Angie. When she turns Kate sees Angie has covered her mouth with her hand and shock is in her eyes.
"Angie? What's wrong?"
"That truck, it's a truck that I have seen a lot of times down in Laredo"
"Are these the air conditioning men?"
"No. I saw two men unloading a very large model helicopter from the back. I mean this thing was probably 6 or 7 feet long. It had extra fuel tanks on the sides. When I walked around to look at it I saw TV monitors and all types of control consoles inside the back of the truck. You know remote control stuff. Over the course of a few days these two men would come to a park and fly this model up and over a water tower. Then on a couple of occasions they actually landed it on the tower."
Kate stares at the monitors and a look of acknowledgement appears on her face
She grabs the radio. And calls Karpowski "Roselyn, this is Beckett. Get to that truck and detain the occupants. I think they are trying to use a model helicopter To deploy the virus"
The radio crackles then a voice answers back "You got it boss, on our way"
On the television monitors the movement from the car is seen as the two detectives reach the parked truck. Several uniformed officers arrive from the sides. There are a few moments while the police are yelling at the occupants to open the doors. Identifying themselves as police. Then there is a lot of commotion as the two men in the back of the truck are dragged out and handcuffed.
As short time later Beckett is waiting at her desk for Karpowski to bring the two men in for questioning when she hears the elevator door open. She looks up to see Ryan and Esposito along with Lanie walking onto the floor. They don't have happy looks on their faces.
When they approach Kate's desk, she speaks up "Hey guys, you heard the news? It looks like we got the truck and its driver." When the trio doesn't comment Beckett looks around again "Where's Castle?"
"Lanie speaks first "Sweetie, we need to go over here for a minute" pointing toward Gate's office
"Lanie! Where's Rick?"
Esposito speaks next "Kate, we need to talk. Let's go into the office"
Beckett starts shaking "NO Javi! I don't want to go in there. I want to know where my husband is? He's not with you. Where is Rick? You Tell me! Where is Castle?"
Ryan gently takes Beckett's arm and starts leading her to the captain's office and they close the door. Everyone else in the bull pin had gone completely silent. They have seen these type meetings happen before. They never end well.
The silence in the bull pin is deafening until a shrill scream comes from the captain's office as they all see Kate Beckett grab her face with both hands and fall to her knees on the floor
