Minutes later, Pendleton arrives and issues a warning. Sorrow warns that a shot to the head will spare Hidaka's life. Pendleton discharges a bullet into Sorrow's cheekbone, no exit wound. Not dead, but Sorrow is disabled, hospitalized. Winchester arrives on the scene as the shot is taken, Pendleton removes himself from the scene momentarily. Winchester advises paranormal advice to eliminate Sorrow, attempts to assess Hidaka's injuries. Hidaka and Pendleton opt to get the injured to the hospital.

Jane Doe #6, throat torn out, fatal blood loss; forensic evidence of bite marks along with particles and prints. Kate Beckett; kidnapped, assaulted. Released. Formal witness account below: I knew Myrnin before the attack. I had taken shelter at Oh Aces once before, and openly opposed him before that. He'd made some posts on the Network; maybe one of those videos that just pops up when we don't want it to? I made mention that he was being stupid, allowing himself free reign when he clearly knew that he was dangerous and uncontrollable. Late on the night of the kidnapping, I had been aware I was being followed for maybe three days prior. I didn't want to head back home out of concern for Castle and Alexis' well being, and out of denial myself, I decided to start looking into the missing persons cases. It was dumb, I'm aware -- but I was attempting to make a connection between the women somehow. And part of me wanted to get this stalker over with. I was at the obstacle course only a short time before I heard him. I turned, and trained my weapon on him; I was startled and I was sure whoever it was, was my stalker. When I saw it was him, I lowered it. He was so fast; in that instant he was on me, and I must have fired, but he informed me later that I hit my head. It's a concussion, which possibly explains why I don't remember it clearly. I was kept in the lab for near on a week, thought toward the end I was able to appeal to him for time alone for a bath. I was able to recover a device but by that time the effects of the concussion and what might have been tests or preparation left me unable to communicate my whereabouts clearly. I was caught and struggled with him, finally getting a window of opportunity to escape. I was able to stumble out to the outer sewer, and yelled for help, but it was obvious that he was simply toying with me. The next three days are unclear. He would be gone for hours, leaving me alone in the cell with little water. At one point, near the end, he seemed to be struggling to keep it together, and I just took a chance. I had no other options left so I begged for my life. I appealed to whatever part of him was starting to make him weak, and finally I thought, he was doing it. I was going to be cut open and used for a computer. Then I woke up to Pendleton shaking me and breathing fresh air. Immediately prior, he claims to have found Myrnin in the shadows, Menolly nearby. He was informed of my state and location and chose to find me. Hidaka showed up immediately upon Justin's departure and after a minor physical struggle, Myrnin allowed himself taken in. He's been in one of the specialized cells in the basement of the precinct. Allowed monitored, unfiltered device access and sustenance as necessary. Warehouse converted to a laboratory Underground. Map attached [file download] Witnesses Menolly, girlfriend; Claims ignorance of details of Myrnin's doings. Claims to administer a 'serum' to cure his alleged mental instability. Claims ignorance of Underground lab, though acknowledges existence of a second lab at Oh Aces. **Has been granted visits to evaluate his state and administer drugs as needed. Labs and residence searched by forensics. No evidence supporting the charges at Oh Aces or the lab located there. Particles and bagged evidence from Underground lab found in evidence drawer 398C.

Always had cards to keep close to my chest before, but here they've tripled; if not quadrupled. Questioning the guys involved with Sorrow to get a comprehensive report; Ken even implied he thought I was chewing them out. Trying to get Menolly to see what she's enabling, when I'm not sure if she can see two steps ahead of her because of Myrnin's influence.

Tyler's out of control, worse than any of the cops have been since I've been here. Thinking of extending his probation, otherwise more drastic measures might have to be taken to keep him in line. He's not entirely wrong, but...we can't force people to do something they don't want to.

Grilling Sorrow to attempt to get any kind of remorse out of him. It's there; not as blatant as I'd hope, but there's something there. Have to keep digging.

And if there's anything else about whatever happened to him, the-- entity or what have you, let us know?

Aya, I think this is the start of a beautiful professional friendship.

Great? I'm used to 'fine', but all right. Is there anything I can do to help now? Even if it's just to bring you some decent coffee?

I can only imagine. He was a good man, you know. He helped me, a few months ago. He saw that I was trying to redeem myself and he helped keep me on the right path. That he'd lose it like that is very surprising. If I manage to talk to him at all, I'll let you know what I find out.

You're telling me.

I will. I promise.

I think you're right.

We appreciate you coming forward, Penny. I'll let you go, have a good night.

Dean might have more ideas than anyone else on the force. In light of the new information, we're either dealing with the paranormal or more than one case of insanity.

I don't have network records to show you, but he remained behind to search for you for as long as possible and helped in the searches for both Myrnin and Sorrow.

I understand.

Would you please inform him that Oh Aces will be managed in his absence.

Oh, I didn't say? It only applies to me, the overworking thing. A little caffeine and wrathful righteous indignation and I'm fueled for the night.

You can't offer a cop good coffee and expect anything but a yes. And, I figure if I start answering bigger, maybe I won't have to answer any more.

The more I look into this, the more it points to another player entirely. I'm just not sure how or why.

They'll only get you so far. We kinda wanna keep you around since we just got you back, you know.

Will it help if I come in tomorrow or the next day? I'm actually off bedrest now, but I'm still off field work, thanks to my arm.

And did his girlfriend know about his activities?

Of course. We'll have our teams out of there within the next few days.

I can't get a clear read off of her, honestly. My gut tells me she's just a kid getting swindled, and she claims ignorance of my captivity, but she knows something. Enough to administer serum for his crazy.

Aww, Ken. Don't make me tell Mara you're flirting with your boss, now.

No, stay home. Mostly paperwork right now, and some administrative overhauling. Nothing important enough to drag you into the office for.

Hn.. Maybe he has her under control. ... Do real vampires have those mind-altering abilities?

Do you have a favorite brand or type of coffee? I'll bring some by shortly. And I should've known better than to ask. Here's hoping I'm the last one.

It does seem to, doesn't it? I'd go so far to say that Sorrow wouldn't do this unless drastically altered or mind-controlled somehow.

I'm not that good of a flirt and even if I was, I'm not sure who'd skin me first. Besides... I wouldn't do that to her. Ever.

Well crap. I was looking for an excuse to get out of the apartment for a little while.

True, good point. I'll page him in on it.

Thanks, Justin. I'm not sure I'd have caught that myself.

No, just-- regular coffee's fine. Black. And it's okay, I'm just on edge about it.

More puppet masters, great. Mind keeping your ears perked for anything about a light blue or white ... mist? Pendleton seems to think Rip van Winkle's involved somehow.

What are you guys planning to do?

Shouldn't you still be in bed?

Tonight meet me on the rooftop. 7:30.

Actually... okay this is super confidential and if you tell anyone I will shoot you. Even if it doesn't actually do anything. Lots of bullets.

...A Cinnamon Dolce Latte, if you can get it.

What a good boy! I can report back to her good now at our secret girl meetings.

Hey, you're not doing it on my permission.
