Richard Castle is Skynet's target

Chapter 3: Officer down

...July 11th, New York Police Department..

...2015...6:48 AM...

"Morning, officers," Gates said, walking in front of a white board without any markings on it. "You are probably wondering why I called you in so early." Most of the precinct nods. "One of our own was murdered last night. It was David Callsinger."

Beckett gasps.

"But sir, I saw him this morning!" Beckett said.

"No, you didn't," Gates said. "That was someone else posing as him."

"Posing?" Esposito asks.

"A man identical to David called in his murder and he was in to see what is going on," Gates said. "Who told him about the meeting of a slain officer?"

"I did," Kevin Ryan said.

"This man, believe it or not, can shape shift his arms to weapons," Gates said. "I cannot believe it. So I want you to bring him in, question him, and bring this bad boy to justice."

Once the meeting was over Castle is biting his fingernails as he knew who it was.

"Who is it, Castle?" Beckett asks, in a low voice, pretending to be on the phone.

Gates went into her office.

"It is T-1000," Castle said.

"The guy from Judgement Day?" Beckett asks.

"Yes," Castle said. "But he is not the version you know of. It is the guy from Genisys."

"Could there be a chance..." Beckett starts to suggest but Castle interrupts her.

"No," Castle said, shaking his hand. "He's not after Tyler. He is after me for some reason."

Esposito and Ryan turn towards the duo's desk.

"So what's dah theory on this one, Castle?" Ryan asks.

Ryan is Irish, apparently.

"I have no theory on it," Castle lied, as Beckett puts down the phone. "We are just...guessing."

"I can guess all day," Esposito said.

"Mutant robot sent to wreck harvoc on the streets of New York and can disguise himself as a human," Castle said.

Ryan laugh.

"Now that is dah Castle I know," Ryan said.

Castle's phone rings.

"I'll take this," Castle said, getting up.

Castle leaves the room then goes behind the wall taking out the phone and hits the green button.

"Castle here," Castle said.

"Mr Castle, I just saw the news," T-11 said. "What happened?"

"I am not at liberty to say right now," Castle said.

"T-1000 is coming, ain't he?" T-11 asks, in a low voice.

"Yes," Castle said.

"Officer or a Federal agent?" T-11 asks.

Castle sends a smile to a passing fleet of detectives.

"First bell rings a charm," Castle said.

"Oh, an officer," T-11 said. "He must really adore the procedural past of criminal investigation."

"He had a different uniform on when he barged in," Castle said, sending a small wave.

"Mr Castle, if he comes," T-11 said. "You better leave."

"Oh, I will Alexis," Castle said.

"Why are you calling me your daughter's name, Mr Castle?" T-11 asks.

"I'll see afterwards, kay?" Castle said as Esposito leans his back against a doorframe. "See you."

Castle presses the red button.

"You know something that everyone does not know," Esposito said. "Spill it."

"It is best you don't know," Castle said.

Beckett walks by.

"Call came in," Beckett said. "Castle, come on!"

"Coming!" Castle said.

"I am watching you!" Esposito shouts.

Castle and Beckett get into the elevator then the doors close.

"I didn't really get a call," Beckett said.

"Oh well, thanks for saving me," Castle said, relieved.

"I know where T-1000 might go," Beckett said.

"To where?" Castle asks.

"Our apartment," Beckett said.

Castle's eyes widen.

"That's where Tyler is," Castle said.

"Well aware of that, Castle," Beckett said as the elevator goes down.
