Beckett's Sister: A Castle AU Fanfiction

Chapter 2

After arriving at the precinct together, Kate and Kris went their separate ways and planned to meet for lunch when Rick arrived later. When Kate reached her desk, she put her bag in the bottom drawer and turned around to see Ryan and Esposito staring at her.

"Sucks to be you today, boss." Ryan said, trying to suppress a grin.

"Oh I don't know guys, sitting around on my ass all day training our newest detective while you guys get to do paperwork? I think I'm coming out pretty good in this deal." Kate fired back.

"She's gotcha there bro." Esposito said as he made his way over to the pair.

Ryan gave his partner a stern glare and turned back to Beckett. "So, what do we know about our newest addition?"

"Not much really. According to Gates, she's a good asset to our department. Graduated top of her class in the academy, level headed, very driven. She just made detective a few months ago so she's still pretty green." Kate replied while turning on her computer.

"That's great. Why do we even need a new detective? I thought the mayor had a hiring freeze going and that's why they had to squeeze out extra money to even give you your job back." Ryan complained.

"Well, Hastings is going on maternity leave in a few weeks and Gates wanted to go ahead and get someone trained to fill her position for the next few months. Plus, we could always use the extra help." Kate replied.

After Ryan and Esposito made their way back to their desks, Gates popped her head out of her office and asked Kate to come in. When Kate stepped inside the office, she noticed a younger woman in her late 20's sitting across from the captains desk. She had short spiky blonde hair, an athletic frame and tan skin. She was dressed casual in black dress pants, a white shirt and grey sweater.

The Captain introduced the two detectives. "Detective Beckett, I would like you to meet Detective Harris. She's our new transfer from the 30th. I trust you will make her feel welcome and show her how we do things here at the 12th."

"Most certainly sir. The boys and I will make sure she settles in just fine." Beckett stepped forward to shake the detective's hand. "I'm Detective Kate Beckett. It's nice to meet you and it's a pleasure to have you join us here at the 12th."

The younger woman smiled at Beckett and said "Thank you, it's great to be here. I've heard a lot about the work you've done and I'm really honored to be working with you. I'm Camille Harris. Detective, sorry. I just got promoted not long ago so I'm still getting use to the title."

Kate could tell that Camille was nervous, remembering how she felt after first making detective. Kate nodded to the captain and told Camille to follow her out into the bullpen. After showing Camille to an empty desk that she could occupy and allowing her to put her stuff away, Kate led her over to where Ryan and Esposito sat, absorbed in their paperwork.

"Guys, I'd like to introduce you to Detective Camille Harris. She's our new trainee. Camille, these are Detectives Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito. They're part of my team."

They boys looked up and said their hellos. Camille shook each of their hands and Kate promised to let them all chat later after the boys finished up their work. Kate then led Camille over to her own desk to get their day started.

"Okay, so I'm assuming they have already set you up with your log in stuff for the system, right?" Kate asked as she sat down in front of her computer.

"I'm pretty sure they transferred everything over from the 30th." Camille said nervously.

"Try logging in and we'll see. If everything works then I can show you how the system works." Kate said as she got up to change seats with Camille.
