Chapter 1 - Secrets revealed
It was a worm sunny day in Washington D.C. and a couple were walking in a local park. The young man said "hey Amy, you wanna pitcher by that tree, it has a nice background to it" Amy walked in front of the tree and turned to face the young man. "Ok are you ready James" Amy asked. "Yeah just give me a sec. As James pointed the camera at Amy, he saw something very strange in the tree, so he zoomed in on it and screamed "aaarrrhhhhhh...". "What's wrong"? Amy asked James. He just pointed up into the tree and Amy looked up to see a skull in the tree. She screamed and they both ran away.
Booth was sitting at his desk at home with a glass of scotch, staring into space, thinking of what Pelant had made him do to him and Brennan. He was in deep thought when Christine came over, putting her hands on his leg laughing he turned to her and smiled "hey Christine, what do you want" Booth said and Christine smiled, putting her arms in the air. Booth smiled and lifted her up in the air as he got up and she laughed. He hugged her lightly then started tigeling her and she laughed even louder into his ear. Brennan was watching from the hallway as her daughter and the man she loved were laughing. Then suddenly she heard Booths phone go off and Booth placed Christine on the couch and answered "Booth" he says "yeah...text me the address...thanks" he puts the phone down and turns to see Brennan looking at him. "Who was that"? She asked. "Caroline, we've got a case, and the good thing is that it's in D.C. so it's not along drive" Booth said to Brennan. "Oh, so we can come home to see Christine". Booth nodded. "I should call Max and ask him to look after Christine then" Brennan suggested. "Sure" Booth said, taking Christine.
Arriving at the crime scene Booth saw the remains and Brennan walked over to them with Hodgins. "So male, female" Booth asked. "Judging from the heart shaped pelvis, male, several hairline fractures to the skull and all the flesh has been stripped except from the mussels" Brennan told Booth. Booth looked up from his notes and looked at Brennan as she did the same. Hodgins speaks up first "does that seem too familiar to you guys". Booth is the first to speak "Pelant" he pauses as Hodgins and Brennan look at him. "Pelant is back". And Brennan nodes. "Yes, I think so". And Booth clenches his fists and walks away from Brennan and Hodgins and they look at each over, then back at the remains. Brennan finds a piece of paper with the number 447 and studies it.
They got back to the lab and Brennan asks if she can have everyone in Angelas office now, and they all go in just as Sweets walks into the lab and Brennan tells him to follow them inside. Brennan, Angela, Hodgins, Sweets and Cam are in Angelas office and Brennan speaks "Ang can you search this number please". Angela takes the paper and says "sure, but why is everyone else in here". Brennan sighs, "Because we think Pelant is back and I don't want anyone to miss any evidence". Then Cam speaks "so why isn't Booth here then". Then Brennan replies "because Booth is angry at the moment, so I am gunna let him calm down". Everyone nods but Angela "guys its searching ". Then the screen comes up with something saying 'incoming call', so Angela answers it and everyone gaphs and they see Pelant smiling at them.
Brennan is the first to speak up "Pelant...what do you want"? and Pelant just smiles even wider and laughs, "I want Agent Booth. I want to talk to him, so Dr Brennan call him or I will". Brennan presses her lips together and pulls out her phone while everyone watches Brennan. Booth is in his office reading through some files when his phone rings "Booth" he answers. "Booth hay can you come down to the Jeffersonion, we have some evidence that I thought you might want to see" Brennan said. "sure I will be there in a minuet " Booth said. "ok bye Booth" and Brennan hangs up. Then Brennan looks at Pelant "why do you want to talk to Booth". And Pelant looks over all of them "he knows, but only me and him know" and Brennan asks "why do only you and Booth know"? "Because Dr Brennan, I was the one that made him choose" Pelant shot back.
They all didn't know what to do, then Sweets spoke "what did you make Agent Booth choose"? Pelant looked over at the young doctor and replied "you'll find out soon". "how soon will that be then" a voice said from the door and everyone turned to see Booth. "aahh...Agent Booth, good to see you again" Pelant said with a creepy smile and Booth smiled back and walked forward and said "how's the face, I hope it hurts like hell". Pelant just glared at Booth and then finally spoke "I have a little video for you to watch, hope you like it" and then on Angelas screen popped an e-mail. Angela clicked it and it showed Booth, Brennan and Christine playing in the park and Booths face paled as he realised what the video was and says "stop it...please don't" he begged and stepped forward. "I want you to suffer" and Pelant smiled and Angela played the video and Booth walked towards the door and stood by it. Brennan watched Booths actions with confusion then turned to watch the video. As the video ended everyone was silent until Pelant spoke again "I can see you have watched the video...so Dr Brennan what do you think of Agent Booth now...huh" Pelant smiled and laughed. Brennan looked over at Booth who was looking down at the floor, arms folded and Brennan looked at Pelant , who was still laughing. "I still love him" Brennan said and Pelant stopped laughing and leaned forward "your gunna regret you said that Dr Brennan" and the call ended.
Everyone was silent and then Hodgins spoke "what's he going to do now". Just as Hodgins finished Booths phone started ringing. "Booth" he answered. "you do what I say or I will kill some random person every time you refuse" Pelant said. "what do you want then" Booth growled at him. "Walk out the door and get into your car, if anyone asks you where you are going, ignore them. Ill call you when you are in your car" and Pelant was gone. Booth put his phone in his pocket and sighed. Brennan and everyone else where staring at him "who was that" Cam spoke. Booth opened his mouth to speak, but remembered he couldn't say anything and turned to walk out the door, but Brennan grabbed his arm and asked "where are you going Booth" and he just shoved her off him and walked out. But Brennan wasn't going to let him go that easily and followed him out and said "Booth" but he didn't acknowledge her. "BOOTH WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING" Brennan shouted which caught everyone's attention in Angelas office, Booth stopped. "why won't you listen or even look at me" she screamed at him. And he turned to face her and says "I am sorry" and walked out the door. Brennan was going to go after him but Cam stopped her "give him some time" Brennan looked at Cam then Angela "follow him through the cameras" and Angela nodded.
They were all in Angelas office and she pulled the security cameras footage. They all saw Booth go to his SUV but suddenly stopped before he got in and answered his phone. It was Pelant "ill text you my location and you will go back inside and tell everyone you know where I am and you will come after me "and Booth said "why are you giving us your location"? And Pelant said "just do it" and with that Pelant hung up and Booths phone got a message saying the address and started to walk back into the Jeffersonion. Angela and the team saw he coming back in and turned the cameras off and pretended to do something else. "I know where Pelant is hiding "Booth said as he walked in and Hodgins said "where then" "here, it's on my phone" Booth said as he gave the phone to Angela and she typed in the address and it came up with a field with a big house, just outside the city. Booth got his phone back from Angela and phoned Flynn and Caroline and they set out to get Pelant.
Booth, Brennan, Caroline, squint squad and the FBI where in the field watching the house. Booth and a squad team were all suited up and ready to go in and Angela hacked into the cameras to watch what they would be doing. Flynn walked up to Booth and said " you ready" Booth nodded "yeah". And Brennan walked over to Booth and said "Pelant called yopu after the video in Angelas office didn't he" and he just nodded "he told me the location of where he is" Booth told her. Caroline walked over to Booth and said " chire, you be careful and try not to get yourself killed" Booth smiled at that "ill try my best" and Booth and the FBI squad team went inside and everyone looked at the cameras. And Brennan started to worry now.
