AN: I don't own Bones

SWEETS' POV:

"But Daddy you promised!" cries Christine Booth in a high-pitched tone. I tap against the screen door and watch as Dr Brennan walks over and unlocks it.

"Oh hello Sweets" Brennan begins as she welcomes me into the house.

I glance into the kitchen to see Christine crying. I walk over to where she was positioned and lean over.

"Hey Chrissie are you okay?" I ask the young Booth.

She shakes her little face stubbornly. "No Uncle Sweets, I'm really angry!" she cries.

I smile at the young girl "What is making you feel this anger?" I ask my Psychological tone coming on.

She shrugs "I'm not telling you" is her stubborn reply.

I glance over at Booth who was sitting on one of the kitchen stools. He just shakes his head "Well I promised Christine that I'm come to here kindergarten Parents Day" he begins "But this morning I got a call from my boss saying a body had been found in a parking lot outside of a Westfield" Booth continues. "I had to tell Christine that I wouldn't be able to make it to her Parents Open Day at kindergarten" he concludes.

I just nod "I can go down and look at the remains with the team if you'd like" I suggest "I did work on the case about the Swim Coach by myself recently and I think I did a good job on that"

Booth just shrugs and let's out a deep breath "Well Sweets, it's supposably a rather violent murder so you have to be careful but if you think that you are up for it I'm not going to turn you down, I have a young girl here and I don't want to break promises" he responds.

I just nod "It can't be that bad, I'll be with the FBI people and the Jeffersonian team"

Booth just nods at me obviously he was quite happy to accept my offer.

Christine looks up at her father "Daddy are you coming to Parents day or not?" she says softly.

Booth leans over and scoops up his daughter "Well I can now thanks to your Uncle Sweets, go give him a thankyou hug" Booth encourages as he puts his daughter back on her two feet.

Christine smiles "Thank you Uncle Sweets" she cries as she throws herself at me embracing me tightly.

I smile at the young blonde girl "You're welcome Chrissie, I don't want you to miss such an important thing to do with your daddy" I whisper.

I remembered the times when my adoptive parents went to parent's days at my school, I was rather fond of those memories and encouraged Christine to make her own as well. The young girl just gives me one last hug before running off to her bedroom to collect the stuff that she wanted to take to Kindergarten today.

Booth glances over at me "Thank you Sweets, I really owe you one" he laughs as he gives me a thumbs up.

"That's fine Booth, I don't have anything really special to do and I find it very important that you spend quality time with Christine"

Booth just smiles and walks out into the hall to meet up with his young daughter. Dr Brennan just smiles at me and nods approvingly. I think that I'd done a very good deed today and for that I felt rather good.

"Okay Dr Brennan what do we have to do at the crime scene again?" I ask Dr Brennan as we drive along the busy streets of Washington DC in Brennan's blue Toyota Prius.

Brennan turns to me "Oh Sweets, you are acting as though you are an amateur, we just have to look over the remains and get them sent back to the lab" she replies as she turns on her indicator and turns into the Westfield parking lot.

We pile out of the car and Brennan and I walk over to the group of FBI agents and Jeffersonian 'Squints' that were gathered around the remains. I quickly move my hand and check that I still have my gun attached tightly to my belt just in case things got messy.

Cam hurries over to us hobbling in her high heels. "Dr Brennan, Dr Sweets hello" she begins "Where's Agent Booth?"

Brennan just motions towards me "We had a little family engagement that we had to deal with so Dr Sweets will be filling in for Booth during this case" she informs Dr Saroyan.

Cam nods "Well that's good, we're having the FBI people move the remains back to the Jeffersonian but I'd like you to have a good look at them before that happens" she replies.

Dr Brennan nods curtly and heads over to examine the remains. I follow suit and glance at the disgusting mess of remains. It was half flesh, half bones and all disgusting.

Dr Brennan begins listing off some facts about the remains that I would never have noticed and then she leans over and gives it a sniff. Ewww. That is the only word to describe the disgust that I was sensing. I turn away and stroll a few meters from Dr Brennan.

I thought I was safe from disgusting remains but that feeling of safety was soon destroyed when I notice Agent Olivia Sparling standing a few meters from me. I would rather avoid the topic of Agent Sparling but I will tell you that that relationship lacked anything to make it last. I quickly hurry away from the blonde agent into a section of the parking lot that was a bit further from all the agents and scientists surrounding the remains.

I straighten my suit jacket and hum to myself. I'd been standing around for about five minutes when I sense a feeling that someone was looking at me. A shiver runs down my spine as I turn around and a look at a hedge about three meters behind me.

There didn't seem to be anyone there so I just turn back and continue humming my song.

I then I hear the sound of a gun cocking. I whip around and remove the small pistol that was connected to my belt but it was too late.

"God!" I cry I hear a gun go off and watch as the bullet shoots right through the bush and penetrates straight into my chest.

I touch my chest where I had been shot and move my hand in front of my face to see it covered in blood, my own blood. Panic flushes over me. I suddenly feel dizzy and glance ahead to see Dr Brennan.

"Sweets!" she cries as she runs over. "Sweets!" she cries yet again "We've got a man shot here!"

I fall in and out of consciousness before collapsing and then…BANG. My world went black…

AN: I just shot Lance Sweets! That was so hard to write because I kept feeling really cruel. I just adore Sweets to pieces. Chapter 2 will be up soon and it will be called Flat Line, I had to be cruel in that one as well :(
