Tired Of Running
Chapter 1
"You have to tell me where she is going, Max!" Booth said pacing the floor. Max just sighed and shifted on the sofa. The house was quiet without the laughter that normally rang out in the house.
"Booth, You know I can't tell you that." Max replied quietly. "Its for you own safety." He added.
Booth wanted nothing more then to just punch Max out. Brennan had taken the baby and ran, she was being framed and the man that was doing it had a leg up over them.
"Max, You have to tell me." Booth begged. "I have to know where she is" he sat down beside Max and rested his head in his hands.
Max knew he had hurt Booth by having his daughter take Christine and run. But it would have only hurt them all more if she would have went to jail for something she didn't do."We're saving your job by doing it this way" Max said calmly. Booth just looked up at him and sighed loudly. They would be at the door any minute with an arrest warrant for Brennan. 'maybe it is for the best that she runs' Booth thought to himself, just then there was a knock at the door.
Booth got up, went over to the door and opened it, expecting it to be the officers to arrest Brennan. "She's not here" he said as he opened the door. To his surprise it wasn't officers it was Brennan herself.
"I can't do it" she said in tears. "I can't leave you, Booth" her voice was broken as she walked in. Max stood up at the sound of her voice.
"Temperance, what are you doing here?" Max asked her in anger. "I told you to run, that I would meet you at the first meet up point" She just shock her head no in response and handed Christine to Booth.
"I can't run, Dad. I'm not like you, I can't just run!" she said making her way over to him. "I'll face whatever comes my way, I love Booth, I love my friends. Hell, I love you. But I can't run. As long as I have all of you to back me, I can beat this." With that she turned to Booth.
"You don't have to say anything, Bones" Booth said. "I already know." She walked over and looked into his dark brown eyes, then gave him a kiss on the lips; it was one of those kisses that said it all. At that moment there was a knock at the door, and they all knew who it was.
"Dr. Brennan, open the door we have a warrant for your arrest." The agent behind the door said.
A tear slid down Brennan's cheek as she turned toward the door. Booth and Max both watched as she turned the lock and opened the door.
They pushed her against the wall roughly and cuffed her while reading her rights. Christine started to cry, causing Brennan to start crying as well. "I love you" she mouthed as they pulled her out the door and to the squad car.
