A/N Okay first of all I would like to apologize to those who were reading my other fic Seven days. My brother was injured mid December and he spent a good 2 weeks in hospital. Then in the new year my laptop decided to die on me and by the time I got down to writing another chapter I just couldn't get back into story. I'm sure I will but it may take a while. Anyway I was watching Bones the other night and i'm not sure why but this idea popped into my head. It is obvious how protective Booth is of Bones but even more so of Parker so I know how crazy he would be if something bad really did happen. Anyway here is the first chapter I will carry on if anyone is interested.

I am writing this for pure entertaiment and am well aware that all characters belong to Fox except Carla, Diego and Ronaldo. Oh and Crestwood elementary school is purely ficticious.

T for now may change to a M depending on the content.

Chapter one.

Tuesday 19th August 5.00pm.

It was the end of another exhausting day and another just as exhausting and gruelling case, yet that didn't stop partners FBI Agent Seeley Booth and Dr Temperance Brennan from claiming their favorite booth at the diner.

Booth flopped himself down on the cold leather seat whilst Brennan after ordering the food slid into the seat opposite. Removing his jacket and loosening his tie he leant forward across the table and began using his thumb and forefinger to emphasize the next statement he was about to make. "Ya know Bones I came this close today, this close to shooting that sonovabitch right between the eyes."

Brennan's eyes widened as she stared at her partner. His normal chocolate brown eyes were now black with hatred and anger. "Brady Connors deserves to be in jail for what he did to his son, and as you're a father yourself I can understand your reaction, only i'm not sure Sweets shared your interrogation methods."

Huffing loudly he began to tuck into his burger which had just that moment been delivered by the waitress, although after one bite he threw it back down on the plate after loosing his appetite. "Yeah well Sweets wasn't there when Harley Connors was brought out of that river. He didn't have to be the one to tell his mother that her son was beaten, sodomized and then stabbed over eighteen times. He then most certainly didn't have to see that womans face when her own husband was arrested. He was eight years old Bones just a year older then Parker. Men like that don't even deserve a prison cell."

Even knowing that monster was behind bars hopefully for the rest of his life Brennan could see Booth was still angry and extremely tense. She reached across the table and grabbed his hand for some kind of comfort. "He won't ever have the chance to hurt another child," she reassured him.

He reciprocated by grabbing her hand in return. "Thanks Bones, but he's not the only one is he? There are thousands of other kids out there suffering abuse at the hands of their own parents." This case had certainly hit a nerve, after all it brought back memories of his own childhood experiences.

Brennan of course hadn't had any knowledge of Booth's past as he had never discussed it much, whether that was due to pride or just shame she couldn't be quite sure. There was however one thing she was sure of and that her partner had grown into a good, wonderful, caring man and a loving father who she knew would never make the same mistakes his own father did. "We can't save them all Booth. There will always be those kids who slip through the net, be let down by the system, but you know what everyday i'll be with you when you make that next arrest." She had hoped that would at least reassure him, and even though she was not always good with this kind of stuff she hoped he could always rely on her to talk to.

Wow since when did Bones become an agony aunt? "You know what Bones I think you've been spending far too long in those therapy sessions."

"I don't what that means?" she swiftly retailated.

Booth flashed her a smile. "Forget it."

"What do you mean?"

"Really Bones forget it. Let that supercharged brain of yours have a nice earned rest for a change." He grabbed his jacket and was just about to ease it on when he felt a vibrating sensation from his inside pocket. Quickly fumbling around he managed to answer it.

"Booth."

"Jesus Christ Seeley where have you been?"

He recognized the screeching voice on the other end as Rebecca's, yet it wasn't the calm voice he was used to hearing. "Rebecca?"

"I've been trying to call all afternoon. I even called your office, why weren't you answering the phone." Her voice quivered and increased in tone with desperation.

Beginning to panic slightly Booth needed information and he needed it now. "Look Rebecca what the hell is going on?"

"It's Parker. He's been kidnapped."

Tuesday 19th August 2.45pm.

Seven year old Parker Booth stood outside Cresthill elementary school awaiting his ride home. He checked his new Wall-e flip top watch his father had bought him for his last birthday and realized that his new nanny Carla was over ten minutes late. He thought of this as rather unusual as so far for the past two weeks she had never once been late. Another five minutes passed and he contemplated going back into school to call his mom. Just as he was about to turn around he saw the familar blue car pull up alongside him.

"You must be Parker," the man seated in the drivers seat announced. He was clean but unshaven and had slightly yellowing teeth.

The boy nodded although a little apprehensive as Carla was no-where to be seen. "W..where's Carla?" he asked hesitantly.

The man grinned. "Ah Carla. She um got held up, but i'm her brother Ronaldo." Seeing the boys reluctance to believe him he grabbed his wallet and held up a picture of himself with Carla. "See."

Parker was still nervous. Both his mom and dad had told him never to get into a car with a stranger. He slowly moved closer to the car and noticed another male sitting in the backseat. "Who's he?"

"Ah that's Diego a friend of mine. Don't worry he looks mean but he won't bite." Ronaldo assured him, sending another sickening smile.

Diego pushed open the rear drivers side door and invited Parker inside. "C'mon little man, the sooner we get going the sooner we can go see Carla."

Clambering onto the backseat Parker pulled the door shut before nestling himself in the comfy interior. Diego moved forward and whispered something in Ronaldo's ear before slouching back down.

"Well Parker are you ready to go see Carla now?" Ronaldo inquired as he peered at the boy who had buckled himself up and was now indulged in some book.

Glancing up he nodded before immersing himself back into his book.

Once they were on the road Diego unzipped a black holdall that was on the floor in front of him. He checked his watch and then proceeded to pull out a bottle of liquid and a white cloth. He poured a small quantity of the liquid onto the cloth before pushing it into his jacket pocket. He then reached further into the bag and pulled out a black handgun and then placed a silencer on the end. He quickly gazed at the small boy sitting beside him completely oblivious as to what they were scheming.

"Are we there yet?" Parker asked as he glanced out of the window. The car journey seemed to have taken much longer this time around. It was beginning to get dark but he could definitey see they were no longer in town, as a matter of fact there were no houses as far as he could see. "Hey Ronaldo why are we here?"

Ronaldo made a sharp turn before bringing the car to a halt and switching off the engine. "I told you i'm taking you to see Carla."

Now he was confused. He may have been only seven but he wasn't dumb. "Carla doesn't live here, she lives at my house."

Ronaldo nodded to Diego who shook his head in return. "I know."

The next minute Parker was grabbed roughly by Diego and just as he was about to scream a white cloth was placed over his mouth. He kicked like crazy just like his father had taught him but the mixture on that cloth was making him rather sleepy. Everything was spinning and then there was darkness.

"What do we do now Ronaldo?"

"Now we see Carla." Both men exited the vehicle and Diego grabbed Parker's limp body from the backseat.

"What' ya suppose Carlos wants with this kid."

Ronaldo strolled towards the cabin half hidden by thick trees. "Well I guess we're about to find out."

His cellphone clattered to the floor as Seeley Booth's hands shook violently. For the first time in his life one of his worst nightmares was coming true.

Brennan knew something terrible had happened. She only had to look at her partner whos face had completely drained of all its color. "Booth what is it?"

"I have to go," he declared bluntly.

The anthropologist not fooled that easy hurried after her partner. "Booth has something happened to Parker?"

He had no time to explain he just needed to get over to Rebecca's immediately. "Bones I can't talk right now I need to go." He got into his suv and started the engine just as Brennan reached the window.

"Booth you're in no fit state to drive. Just tell me what's happened, maybe I can help."

"You can't help this time Bones, trust me."

Brennan was forced to step away from the vehicle as it drove off relentlessly away leaving her all alone on the sidewalk.

A/N Okay so is it worth continuing?
