Disclaimer- I do not own bones or any of the characters, just the story :)
This is my first story, so its probably not going to be very good, review and tell me if I should carry it on or not please. I'm sorry its so short, but i didnt really want to carry it on so far and i thought it was a good place to stop.
It was around midday on a Monday and Agent Seeley Booth was sitting at his desk drinking a coffee and staring out the window daydreaming, he was tired as he had hardly slept the night before, like every other night he just lay there alone in his thoughts, he just couldn't get her off his mind, why didn't she see that he was everything he wanted, day after day he had to go through the torture of knowing that they would never be more than friends, he couldn't bear it any longer he had to tell her, but how? She would just react completely rational and ignore him and possibly get a new partner and he would be alone once again, so, even though it hurt, he knew he had to be friends with her. He jumped at the sound of his phone ringing, it was Bones. He immediately answered the phone
"Hey" he said smiling
"Booth, can you meet me at the Jeffersonian, I need to talk to you" Booth could tell she was worried by the tone of her voice.
"Sure Bones, ill be there in 5" He hung up, picked up his keys and rushed to the elevator, this didn't sound good. He got another call while he was driving, he answered the phone and put it on speaker, it was Rebecca.
"Booth, thank god you answered, have you got Parker?" She was speaking frantically.
"No, its your day to have him" He answered, why was she calling him, she was meant to have him.
"oh, ok, its just he wasn't there when i picked him up, he might be a friends, its ok, i'll ring Toby's mum, bye" Before Booth had a chance to reply, she had hung up. Something wasn't right. He got out of the car and rushed to Bones to see what was up with her
She looked up at him as he walked through the doors to her office, he could see that she had been crying by the redness of her eyes. She was holding an envelope in her hand. He sat next to her on the sofa and asked what was wrong. She gave him the envelope, he could see that she had already opened it and had seen what was inside. He tipped out the contents and picked up the letter that was in there, he read it and his mouth opened. He looked what else was in the envelope and found a picture. He sat there dumbstruck, the picture was of Parker tied up by his wrists and legs to a chair. There was a cut on his right cheek and several bruises on his eyes were wide open in shock and fear. The arms of the t-shirt he was wearing had been ripped off. The letter told him that if Booth didn't release the Gravedigger then Parker would die a long and painful death. He sat there taking this all in, it couldn't be true. He looked at Bones, she was silently sobbing. He put his head in his hands wishing that any moment now he would wake up and this would all be a dream or somebody would jump out and shout 'april fools' but neither of those would happen, this was real and there was nothing he could do about it.
