Hey what's up yall? Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 5

Charlie's POV

Oh this is going to be so much fun. Almost too much fun.

"Hey Friar," I said entering his room.

"What do you want?" he said with disgust.

"I just want to see your reaction when you see what has happened to Maya," he gave me a death glare. "You see it's worse than anything I've done to Riley or Zay."

"What's your point? What did you do?"

"Oh it wasn't me, it's someone you hate a lot more. It's someone you believe to be crazier than me."

"Get on with it, Gardner."

I pulled up security footage to a park on the monitor. I knew he recognized the park from the look on his face, but I was too far out for him to see what was going on, so I zoomed in.

"You see, Friar. I knew I could get a reaction out of you."

"How could Zay allow this? He knows Josh."

"Probably because he doesn't remember much about us since the accident. I bet he bought the bit that Josh is nothing like me and moved to Roseville so he could disown me as a brother. And as for the rest, they don't know we are related."

"What is he going to do?"

"I don't know specifics," I said getting into his face a bit. "Just know that it will be much, much worse than what Riley and Zay went through and what Maya has already been through." I pulled back a bit. "What are you going to do about it, Lucas?"

Maya's POV

I can't believe they were still hounding me about Eric.

"Guys, enough. I'm perfectly happy with Josh. This is the happiest I've been in a while." My phone dinged. I checked it. "I gotta go. I'll be back in a bit."

"Can I come?" Emma asked, emerging from the hallway.

"Sure, grab a jacket and then we'll go." She ran down the hallway to get a jacket.

(At the coffee shop)

We were waiting for Eric to leave the coffee shop with my coffee. He came out holding four. I gave him a questioning look.

"What?"

"Four? You that tired?"

"Ha ha, very funny. No, one for you, one for me. I figured she would tag along, hearing you leaving," he said nodding toward Emma and handing her a cup, "The last one is for Macey. Which is where we are going, they have a new lead on who is after the Matthews."

Cammie's POV

We were sitting around waiting for Maya and Eric to show up. There was a knock on the door.

"Finally," Grant said opening the door.

"You know patience is a virtue, Grant," Maya said, jokingly. She was followed inside by Eric and Emma.

"Why is she here?" Bex asked, not rude just curious.

"Because she's going to Gallagher this term, figured she could help," Eric answered.

"Not to mention, she heard I was leaving and if I hadn't said yes she could come, she would've followed anyway," Maya finished. "Why is Shawn here?"

"He came out of retirement," Zach said.

"Yeah after you yelled at him," Grant said, under his breath.

"Okay, so what are we doing here?" Shawn said, changing the subject.

"We need to discuss safety protocol for the wedding," Cammie stated.

"Low key. It can be somewhat heavy, but blended in."

"Why?" Jonas asked.

"Because this is Riley, she deserves this. After everything she's been through," she exhaled. "She needs perfect." Maya's phone dinged. "Speaking of, duty calls. Come on, baby girl, we have to go get ready. Riley is apparently freaking out," she said shaking her phone in her hand. She looked toward us, "Your alls clothes are in the closets. Wedding is at 4." Maya and Emma left.

"At 4?!" Great here we go. "Girls, good thing we showered already. Cammie your hair first, Bex and Liz do your make up. Guys get ready then come back over until we need to leave, so we can discuss more," Macey said. The guys sat frozen, "I mean now, guys!"

(At the wedding reception)

Riley's POV

I can't believe I'm now Mrs. Riley Babineaux. I'm so excited and happy. Zay and I were about to have our first dance as husband and wife.

"You ready?" I nodded a huge smile on my face. "Good because I have a surprise." I gave him a confused look. He stayed silent as he led me to the dance floor.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, please welcome for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Babineaux," the dj said. Lee Brice's "I Don't Dance" started to play. I gave him another look.

"I know. I sang a Lee Brice song the night we got back together. I figured it was appropriate for our first dance as husband and wife, especially since I normally don't dance."

"Thank you, Zay," I said kissing him.

"You're welcome," he said smiling.

Maya's POV

The reception was already halfway over. Things were going smoothly. I was really happy for Riley and Zay.

Riley and I's song came on. Riley was on the dance floor with Zay from the song before. I walked over to them.

"Sorry, Babineaux, I'm taking her for this one."

"I figured you would."

There were only a few songs left now.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen," the dj said getting our attention. "This next song is the father/daughter, mother/son dance."

People started pairing off. Mr. Matthews dancing with Morgan, Riley's Uncle Eric dancing with Riley, Mrs. Matthews with Zay, since his mom couldn't make it, Eric Friar with Emma. I was about to find Cory when Shawn walked up.

"So what do you say, kiddo?" I nodded and let him lead me to the dance floor. It seemed like that dance ended as soon as it started.

I was standing in the hallway of the dance hall that was rented for the reception. I was scrolling through my phone when, "Well if it isn't Maya Hart." I knew that voice, I hated that voice.

"Why are you here, Missy?"

"I was a plus one," she said pointing down the hall to Billy Ross who was on the phone.

"How was he invited?"

"All the Mets were. A team bonding thing." We stood in silence for a minute. "What do you want?"

"Oh I just wanted to apologize for Lucas," I froze. "He was good, if you know what I mean. So was Charlie, kind of wish I knew about his brother." I was seething. "Anyway, I'll talk to you later. Don't want to miss any of the fun," she finished as Billy walked up.

"Maya," he said doing that weird nod thing.

"Billy," I managed.

"Sorry," he said when Missy had left, then he followed.

"Maya, you okay?" Eric Matthews asked.

"What? Yeah fine."

"You sure?" I nodded. "Okay just checking because the dj said something about 2 songs left before the song he just played."

We headed back inside. Eric Matthews walked over to Josh and Alexis.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen," the dj started. Wait, I knew that voice.

"Maya, you okay?" Zach asked next to me. I started scanning the room.

"Something isn't right," I said.

"Guys keep an eye out. Something's up," Zach said into the comms.

"We have a special video for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy." The lights went out and a video started. It was a youtube cover me and Lucas posted.

Why is this being showed?

"Get everyone out of here, now," I said through the comms.

"What's happening?" Cammie's voice said in my ear.

"Charlie's here. This is a trap of some sort. Clear the building. Zach, Eric and I will look for Charlie."

Almost everyone was out when it happened. The place blew.

(At the 12th precinct)

Beckett's POV

I was finishing up paper work when Esposito walked in.

"You're going to want to see this." He turned the television on and up.

"The most talked about wedding has been attacked. No word yet, but rumors are going around saying it was a bomb set by none other than Riley's ex-boyfriend Charlie Gardner. We will tell more when we find out." Esposito turned it off.

My phone started to ring.

"Beckett?

"Come quick. It's bad."

"Woah, Maya calm down." Esposito looked my way.

"Just come quick and bring Castle." I was about to ask why when she finished. "It's Alexis."

"We are on our way now," I said hanging up as Ryan and Castle walked in.

"Turn around boys we need to go quick."

"What is it?" Castle asked.

"Riley and Zay's wedding was bombed, a witness apparently saw Charlie there."

Maya's POV

I was standing next to Zay, who was next to Riley on a gurney. She was found unconscious outside the hall. There was some sort of commotion going on near the line. I saw the four from the precinct trying to cross. One of the uniforms wouldn't let them.

"I'll be back," I told Zay who just nodded.

I went up to the uniform.

"Why aren't you letting them through?"

"I have strict orders. Besides these are homicide detectives," the uniform replied.

"Well you orders have changed." He turned to me confused.

"Says who?" Good thing I had my badge.

"Me," I showed him the badge.

"I have to contact my supervisor," he looked the other way, "Hey chief." An older man walked up.

"What's going on?"

"Sir, Maya called and told us we could be of some help," Beckett said. I showed him the badge before he asked.

"I have strict…" I cut him off.

"My best friend in the world just got her wedding destroyed and is unconscious. A lot of high profile people were in there. Mr. Castle's daughter included. This group is the best and you don't want to piss me off even more than I already am."

"What seems to be the problem here?" a tall, thin woman with dark hair said.

"Agent Cameron, we are under strict orders…"

"Orders have changed. Let them through. They are going to investigate in New York. We are going to continue with a new lead.

"We?" I asked.

"Yeah, you, me and the rest from Gallagher."

Emma's POV

We were at Gallagher, including Riley and Zay. Agent Cameron thought it best, but they were staying in a secret wing.

I was in my room going through all of my stuff.

"Where is it?" I asked out loud. "I know I packed it."

"What are you looking for?" my roommate Kaylee asked.

"My…" I was cut off.

"New teacher is here," my other roommate Maddie said, my fourth roommate, Brie was behind her.

"She's so cool."

"How do you know?" I asked looking at Brie.

"She came from New York on a motorcycle," she answered. Of course she did.

"Let's go," Maddie said.

We ran to the front doors. Of course I knew who it was, but the other three didn't.

We got outside just in time to see the motorcycle stop in the front. My dad appeared from behind me, in his ACUs? Why was he in those? Maya tossed him the keys to her motorcycle. He turned to me and gave me a hug.

"I'll just be 20 minutes away. I have to go report to base."

"Already?"

"Sorry, I'll see you soon though. I promise. Maybe one of the weekends Gallagher allows you to go to town."

"Okay."

"Bye Maya," he said heading down the stairs.

"Be careful, Eric."

"Always." He got on the bike and left.

"You forgot something," Maya said, handing me my skateboard.

"Oh my god, I was looking for this. Thanks," I said giving her a hug.

"No problem, baby girl."

"Agent Hart."

"Agent Goode," she replied to Cammie.

"Headmistress Morgan will see you in her office."

"Lead the way," Maya followed Cammie inside.

"You know The Maya Hart?!" Maddie asked.

"And she called you baby girl?!" Brie said.

"Yeah, so?" I said not seeing the big deal.

"So?!" Apparently my roommates did. "You didn't tell us?" Kaylee asked.

"I didn't think it was that big a deal."

"Not that big a deal? Not that big a deal?! Brie said shocked.

"This is huge. She solved The Matthews case, well part of it, and do you know who her dad is?

"Shawn Hunter.

"What?! No. Her dad…"

Maya's POV

"So you ready to teach?" Cammie asked as we headed toward her mom's office.

"Yeah, sure. What can I expect?"

"Just be ready, you get CovOps newbies. Mr. Solomon has the upper levels. Also, it won't just be Gallagher Girls, the Blackthorne Institute for Boys will be joining us."

"Okay."

"Here we are," she said knocking.

"Come in," a voice from inside called.

We entered the room and Agent Cameron, Liz and Cammie's mom were inside.

"Ah, Agent Hart, thank you so much for agreeing to join our faculty."

"Yeah, no problem. Thanks for the job." There was a knock on the door.

"Rachel, sorry I'm late," I know that voice.

"Not a problem, Joe. We were just getting started." I turned around. NO WAY!
