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

[thiswallinside]

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?]

I don't want to hide. I shouldn't have to hide. I'm not the one that killed someone and left them to wake up alone and dead in the Underground.

There's only so much I can do here, Mara, and I'm bending over backward. Do you know how undermanned we are? And still I have all of my available departments investigating, trying to put these pieces together.

These are the options I have for you, with the resources I can pool. I'm sorry if it's not enough but we're doing the best we can.

[Stressed from manliness and overworking, she gets-- hissy. Eep.]

Of course. Gods forbid you do anything to make things hard for your officers... oh, wait. He is one of your officers, isn't he?

Perhaps this isn't a discussion we should be having at the moment. I understand if you don't trust the police given the reputation we inherited from the past-- that I can't control. Even so, I apologize for that, I really do. But I'm not sure me arguing with you over my dedication is going to solve anything.

private; I can't be angry at that face...

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Of course it won't. I doesn't matter, I'm just the woman without a heartbeat.

private; it is quite pitiful, isn't it?

[nicholasheat.livejournal.com]

I never said that. Those are your words, Mara, not mine.

Why aren't he and Ray sitting in a locked room somewhere? They've been identified.

Can you picture Tsurugi sitting in a locked room anywhere?
