The surprising helper

AN: We've been told since the beginning Booth's mum returning would be good for Booth and Brennan's relationship. We've also been told, Booth's gonna have some help after the season finale, this fic works with the premise of Booth telling her mother about the blackmail, and asking for her help with Brennan

Chapter One: The meeting

It had been two months after that night, and things between Booth and Brennan had become awkward, at least. He needed help, when suddenly he had an idea. He picked up his phone and dialed the now familiar number, and waited till the other person picked up

-This is Marianne Booth speaking, Booth's mum answered

-Mum, is me, Seely, Booth greeted his mum

-Hello, honey, how are you, Temperance and Christine doing?, Booth's mum asked

-Not well mum, in fact I need your help to save my family

-what happened dear? Was Marianne worried answer

-I can't tell you at the moment, could you please meet me at the Founding fathers for lunch mum?- asked Booth

-Of course honey, what time do you want to meet?, asked Booth's mum

-Is one o'clock fine with you? Asked Booth

-Yeah, honey, I'll be there

1 o'clock arrived and Booth and his mum arrived to their lunch date, Booth's mum was worried sick after the phone call.

-Honey, please, tell me what happened. Booth's mum asked

-Well, remember the sociopath we told you about that framed Bones last year? Asked Booth

-Yeah, he killed a lot of people didn't he? Was Marianne's answer

-Yes, that's right. And he is blackmailing me. Two months ago Bones proposed, obviously I said yes. But he is a computer jerk, so he can put surveillance on whomever he wants. He may have put surveillance on us, because 4 hours after we got engaged he called me, and told me that if I didn't break off the engagement he would kill five innocent people. Also, I can't tell the reason why or the people would die as well. Mum, I was in the army; I cannot afford more death on my hands, so you'll understand I broke off the engagement. But now, things are really weird at home, we are turning into two strangers that simply cohabitate and parent a child together, we don't talk unless it is about the case. Explained Booth

-Honey I'm so sorry to hear it, what can I do for you? Asked Marianne

-Tell her, I can't tell her, but he did not say anything about other person telling her. Answered Booth

-Ok, honey, I'll talk with her
