18th arrest; but my own father said give her up don't bother

public, voice;
This is Chief Kate Beckett, making a quick note as a courtesy. You may not recognize me when I come into the office this morning. I'm, uh. Male. Castle, I took the liberty of raiding your wardrobe.

Go ahead, get the laughter out now. [And Kate flips to video, linefacing and looking fairly unamused. And manly!]

police filter, voice;
It's been over a week. What does everyone have so far, because this needs to be cleaned up yesterday.


[ooc: Kate Beckett is manly! Responses from nicholasheat. As far as the police business, I figure we're moving along through the investigation stage, so along with what anyone comments here, we'd likely be to the point where they submit that they've no evidence supporting the accusations and might even possibly have alibis and other evidence refuting the accusations? Sorry I've been a little behind and chaotic with the open threads on this plot, I'm not really absolutely sure where we're supposed to be at this point, so correct me if I'm mistaken! :) Alsoooo bendytime to the morning if that's okay?]

[If she wasn't a man, Beckett would be more attuned to Brennan's frustration. Unfortunately at this point, she's just feeling too much of her own.]

Great, so I've got two victims breathing down my neck and possible killers still on the loose. And it doesn't seem we'll ever have definitive evidence of anything. Ever.

[And if Brennan, in turn, were more attuned to other people socially and emotionally, she'd probably realize Beckett didn't mean it as a personal insult to her capabilities but is venting her own frustrations. It doesn't help Brennan's indignation any that Beckett is telling her this in a voice that's distinctly male - she's dealt with one too many male officers that openly belittled her expertise.]

Oh? I would have expected someone with your experience to realize returning to crime scenes weeks after the actual crime took place to gather new evidence is statistically all but useless. The existing evidence simply did not match the suspects, and that's an irrefutable fact. But you are welcome to get a second opinion from somebody more accomplished in the field of forensic science than I am, provided you can find one here.
