A notepad. That's what I have to remember the kid by, a damn notepad. I don't really even care about the workload doubling up again, gives me less time to think about everything else. If he was going back to something, maybe that would be okay. Maybe it'd be less ... depressing. Because now he's just gone.

And I have to stay here with people who make everything okay. Not sure I want to be okay. Not after being here for a year. Nobody should be okay with that.

Gotta check up on Myrnin today. Damn, we need more help.

Be careful with all the snow back, everyone. The holidays are to spend time with friends and family, but party responsibly. Don't spend it in an overnight visit with your neighborhood cops. We like you, just not that much.

Everyone have a good holiday? Cause from what I'm seeing, we still have an officer in the hospital and no idea what the hell is wrong with him.

I'm still waiting on reports from Forensics. Anything from Intel would be nice; talk to his neighbors, friends, family? If Pendleton were still here, I'd probably actually have some results and you wouldn't have to deal with me directly. I don't see something on my desk by the end of today, I'm coming up there myself and trust me when I say you really don't want that.

I'm assuming some external force affecting him; curse, deity bullshit, whatever. Still, let's keep things simple as far as the public's concerned and keep him under control. If someone else pops up with the same tendencies, then we start asking people to be careful.

Unless everyone's tired of doing their jobs? Because hell, I can just cut all these paychecks and funnel it into robots that'll actually do work.

Gonna be back to the old schedule, guys. With Justin gone... [ nope, don't mull it over ] anyway. Alexis, he left you something for Christmas; I'm sorry I didn't get it sooner, between the holidays and a mess at the offices, I just... Well, anyway, I can give it to you when I get home tonight. Might be late, so if you're asleep, I'll leave it on the living room table for you.

[ooc: To Alexis, from Justin (via Veda): There will also be another package inside of Beckett's that says "To Alexis" on it. No, Justin didn't intend to deliver it in person. Girls are terrifying. There will be a book in there--The Complete Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge--with a note on the inside cover:

"Henceforth I shall know
That Nature ne'er deserts the wise and pure;
No plot so narrow, be but Nature there,
No waste so vacant, but may well employ
Each faculty of sense, and keep the heart
Awake to Love and Beauty! and sometimes
'Tis well to be bereft of promis'd good,
That we may lift the soul, and contemplate
With lively joy the joys we cannot share."]

Welcome to the City, Tom. Where police are useless and nobody dies. Where everybody interferes.

It's like paradise. Now, if you don't mind, I have some police matters to get back to. Your request is officially in, so you should get everything in a few.

Thank you.

Death might not lie beyond recovery here, but I have my suspicions that the experience is pleasant. Or wanted. Your work isnot in vain, officer. Do take some comfort in that.

Ken. Go hang out, chill. I'll take care of this. We'll figure out what the hell happened. Apparently Umi took a jog through your memories; would you mind if I get a rundown from her, have you verify it?

Let me get his permission to get your account. Then I would love to meet and take you through everything you know. We'll have him verify it and go from there.

... she did what?

Thanks. Nice to know some people are still under the delusion. Enjoy your light reading.

Do you think that'd be alright? I mean-- I know it's necessary, but... the last thing I want right now is to upset Ken even more.

Well, not her. Some other person; for your temporary fix it.

I have an indirect murderer to catch. If Ken's memories are going to help us timeline out where he was, what he was doing, hell, what he ate that day, then it's worth it.

I'm SURE with you on that one.

Alright. He's strong. He can handle this.

She didn't bother to tell me about that.

Well then it looks like you two need to have a chat.

And then let me know after the drama if I can use it to figure out who did this to you.

He apparently wasn't aware when I asked. Apologies in advance?

Fine. I'll figure something else out that doesn't involve seeing you.

Tell her she's making this fucking impossible and it's not like cutting you with a silver knife is going to hurt. Bobby does that to me when I'm particularly cranky and he's decided I'm possessed.

Yeah, it does.

... do whatever you need to do. It's fine with me.

Beckett, you want me to work the case or you don't. This is how I work a case. Looking at hair and blood and bullshit is fine if Ken were a human serial killer.

Seems like she's making this impossible for all sorts of people.

Do what you need to do, Dean. I just want this over.

It's fine. I did tell him we had to poke here and there. It was necessary, or Clef wouldn't have been able to talk to him to get the symptoms right for the cure...

Chief. And yes that would qualify, when we aren't cutting it out of them with a silver knife.

End of discussion, or I pull you off of this. Stop antagonizing Hidaka. Find me some evidence. Shut the hell up and do the work.

Okay. I'll let you know.

Okay, I've got the go ahead from him. We can run it down here, or, if you're more comfortable you can come down to the station. Up to you.

Knock knock [Castle is coming through the station with a tupperware dish of pasta and sauce. He's also got a bottle of red wine and two plastic cups.]

Dinner is served.

I can be there in a blink! And also get you Clef's notes if I make a quick stop at the beach house.

Need some help at work? I could be a part-timer. Plus I'm very dependable with paperwork.

I'll wait up for you and keep some dinner warm.

Me too. And I wouldn't hurt you. Not for real.

Yeah not wanting to get my ass froze though.
