She had to tell Beckett. Captain Gates hadn't seen in her entire career a woman like Kate Beckett. Certainly the kind of woman you don't wanna mess with. She wanted to tell Beckett, because if it was her and the love of her life and partner was missing she'd want to know everything, but there was the issue that it might cause her to panic and that wasn't gonna help Castle at the moment. There was no other option. They had to find him. Good thing is that as soon as Castle voice came through that phone she recorded the call. Maybe they were not gonna be able to trace the call, but maybe something in the background might tell them where he was. In that moment she received a text from Lanie. It read:
"Come down here ASAP. I think I got sth."
Immediately she called Beckett Ryan and Esposito.
"Detectives, I just got a text from Dr. Parish, let's go." she said. The three detectives instantly got up. In less than ten minutes they were down at the morgue.
"Lanie what do you have?" Kate Beckett was the first one to speak.
"Ok, first of all the evidence found at the warehouse confirms that Castle was there, that the drugged him in order to treat his injuries."Lanie figured that the faster she said the worst part the better."I found traces of the kind of antiseptic as well as needles and other first aid equipment. They tried to stitch him back up but we didn't find any gloves in the room, which means that..."
"He could have an infection if they were bared handed." Beckett said quietly. Why can't just Lanie tell her some good news? Why is the universe soo screwed up!?
"Well...I don't know about that but what I was gonna say is that I found DNA that wasn't Castle's..."at that moment everyone looked at Lanie hoping to find in her eyes all the answers they were craving for. "Don't get over excited...I already sent the samples to the FBI databases but we won't get the result until tomorrow afternoon."
"What?!"Kate said."Couldn't make this an especial case...I mean we worked with the FBI...the afternoon is too late...I mean for what we know Castle could be dead by now!"
"Detective Beckett!"Gates said."Can I have a word?"
"With all due respect sir I think we need to focus on the case instead of worrying about me."
"I wasn't asking for your opinion detective." With that Kate followed Gates to the aisle outside.
"Detective, every minute that passes with you in this case makes feel I made the wrong decision by letting work on it."Gates said.
"It won't happen again sir."Kate said coldly.
"I can't imagine what you are going through right now, but not being able to control yourself is worse for this investigation."
"I can control my emotions Captain."she said with ice in her voice.
"I hope so detective because what you are feeling right now can be easily turn into revenge and it can blind you until the point you will regret something."
"I can control myself sir."She repeated. It was like something was slowly dying inside her. They were no closer to find Castle and the thought of her telling his family that they found him too late or that they didn't find him at all was too much to think about. But now, she wasn't sad or scared. She was determined. "This won't happen again sir, now can we go back to work." Before Kate could open the door of the morgue Gates said.
"Castle is alive detective."It was time for her to know. it would give back to her that inexplicable force that always drives Detective Beckett to solve the toughest cases.
"Look sir, I know you may think that will keep me optimistic but..."
"He is alive."She said once more."I talked to him." Woah what? Gates talked to him? Why her? Why she didn't tell her? Before she could say anything to her she started explaining."I received a call this morning. It was Castle. His captor made him call me."
"What?...Is he alright? What do they want? Didn't you trace the call? Why are you telling me this now?!"
"I haven't finish detective."said Gates."I'm not gonna lie to you, he sounded bad and in pain...and maybe that is the reason why he called me I don't know, but he gave me instructions I had to follow.
"What kind of instructions? What did he or they wanted from you?"
"The wanted me to get some medical supplies. They wanted me to drop them with a rookie at a locker in Grand Central. He told me that they were thinking of blowing up the precinct so I couldn't send a better trained officer. They are watching us detective which is why we have to be careful."
"Why did they ask for medical supplies and not other things?"Beckett asked, mostly to herself.
"Whatever the reason is, it is our job to find out."said the Captain. Beckett gave her a small nod."One more thing detective." Kate turned back to look into Gates eyes."He loves you."
"And I love him. He will tell me that himself. Or I will personally kick his ass."Gates now knew completely that Beckett was ready. That force came back with more power."Now let's get back to work." Back in the morgue, Lanie, Ryan and Esposito remained quiet. They were waiting for them.
"So as I was saying..."Lanie started. "I send DNA samples to the FBI, but that's not the whole story."
"What else do you have Lanie?"Esposito asked.
"Our John Doe here is not a John Doe anymore."Lanie said pointing at the man on the table. The one who shot Castle."It was hard to find him only because he changed his identity."
"So who is he?"asked Ryan.
"He is Andrew Johnson, former agent of the National Security Agency." The three detectives and the Captain didn't see that coming. National Security?
"What the hell is going on?"said Esposito.
Next Chapter...maybe some Alexis stuff...or esplanie...I don't know...
