Chapter 2 - Hacker part 2
Evening was one of their favorite times of day. It is when most of the important things in their life took place; Chinese food at 2AM, conversations about family and betrayal, and comfort for a friend's passing. It was 8:00PM and they were getting ready to sit down to dinner at Booth's house when there was a knock at the door.
"You stay here, I'll get it." Booth said.
As he went to the door and looked through the peep hole he saw that Agent Perotta and Charlie were standing outside his door. Booth knew this was not going to be good; especially after the conversation that he had witnessed between Hacker and Bones that morning.
"Hey Charlie, Perotta, what can I do for you?" Booth already knew what the answer was but he was not going to let this happen without a fight.
Charlie looked apologetic and said "I'm sorry Booth but we have a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Brennan for the murder of Deputy Director Kirby. Agent Perotta and I are here to take her in. I didn't want to trust it to anyone else. I know how much she means to you."
Booth just looked at them with a slight smile, "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."
He felt her behind him before he ever heard her, "Booth, what's going on?"
He turned and she saw the menacing look etched in his face, "It seems that Hacker didn't like the conclusion of your conversation today and he has convinced one of the ADA's to issue a warrant for your arrest for the murder of Deputy Director Kirby." He turned back to Charlie, "Again, not going to happen Charlie, sorry."
She put her hand on his arm to calm him. As he turned to look at her he saw the determined look on her face. He pleaded with her silently not to do what he was so sure she was about to.
She held out her wrists to the Federal Agents, "It's ok Charlie, I'll go with you."
"Don't do this Bones. Come on you haven't even eaten yet, this isn't good for you or the baby." He pleaded with her.
Charlie and Perotta looked at the couple and then to Brennan's stomach and saw the small baby bump that already started to form.
Charlie looked appalled. "Did he know?" Charlie asked. "Did Hacker know you are pregnant Dr. Brennan?"
She looked at the man with kind eyes. She has always like Charlie from the first time that she met him. She has always thought of him as a kind person in a world where it is a rarity. "Yes, he knows that Booth and I are expecting. I confirmed it for him today when we had a discussion at the Jeffersonian."
Agent Perotta was more than happy to let Charlie do all the talking since he has known Booth the longest. She didn't feel that she really had anything to add to the conversation that would be of value. When she heard Brennan confirm that Hacker knew she was pregnant she looked at them with disbelief and said," That son of a bitch. He's doing this because it's personal. How can he expect us to bring in a pregnant woman on a bogus charge for a bogus warrant? I'm sorry, I can't do this. This is bullshit."
Bones smiled at the agent, "It's ok Agent Perotta. Go ahead and place the handcuffs on me. I don't mind, you are only doing your job. "
She looked at Bones like she had three heads. "I am NOT handcuffing a pregnant woman, especially a colleague that I respect for a trumped up charge because someone's feelings were hurt. If you feel the need to come with us then come on but I will not use the handcuffs."
She looked at Booth, kissed him, and said, "I will not do anything to endanger your job. I'm going to go with them. Call Caroline and let her know what's going on. It will be ok, I promise. I love you. "She turned towards the other agents and said, "Come on lets go."
As she was walking away Booth grabbed her arm, brought her back to him and kissed her with all the emotion he could gather. "I'll be there as quickly as possible. This will not stand; he is going to be taken down."
She placed her hand along side of his cheek and said, "I know. You will never abandon me."
Booth released her after another kiss, looked at Charlie and Perotta and said, "Take care of her for me. I'll be there as soon as possible. Don't let anything happen to her."
Perotta let Charlie answer Booth, "We will. Don't worry."
Booth ran a hand over his face, "Thanks Charlie. You too Perotta
A short while later Charlie, Perotta, and Brennan arrived at the Hoover. Charlie brought Brennan to his desk as he couldn't make himself bring her to holding. Hacker walks into the Bullpen, walks to Charlie's desk and says, "Agent Burns why is this prisoner sitting at your desk and not in the holding cell."
Charlie looks at Hacker in amazement. "Well sir I figured due to Dr. Brennan's considerable work and relationship with the FBI, and due to her delicate condition, she could stay at my desk. I will not let her leave my sight sir."
Hacker stared at Charlie with disbelief. "Put the prisoner in holding until she is placed into the interrogation room."
Charlie stood up, "Sir, I respectfully"
While Charlie was speaking, Brennan stood up, placed a hand on Charlie's arm to quiet him like she does to Booth and said, "It's ok Charlie, take me to holding. Booth won't be mad at you."
"I'm so sorry Dr. Brennan, so sorry." With a look of disgust for Hacker, "Yes sir I will put the prisoner into holding."
By the time Booth could locate Caroline and have her meet him at the Hoover, Brennan had been in the holding area for 3 hours. When Charlie and Perotta came to pick up Brennan they had huge smiles on their faces.
Brennan looked at them with a half smile," Let me guess, Booth is here and brought Caroline with him."
This time Perotta is the one that spoke, "Yea, he got here about a half hour ago with Ms. Julian and Cullen. They have been talking to Hacker since they got here. When Booth realized that no one called either myself or Charlie to come get you he was furious. "
Charlie started to laugh, "You would have loved it Dr. Brennan. He went what you refer to as all Alpha Male on Hacker. It was great. Come on let's get you up to Agent Booth so he doesn't do anything stupid."
They heard the discussion before they got to the office. Hacker was trying to defend himself to Cullen while Caroline was threatening to throw him in the holding area and bring him up on charges.
Hacker was yelling, "What are you going to arrest me for? I have done nothing."
Caroline looked at him, "Oh don't worry cher, I will find a reason. Are you really that stupid to bring the top forensic anthropologist in the country"
Brennan spoke up, "world"
"Yes thank you cherie, world, and you have her in a holding cell like she was common criminal."
"I'm a bestselling author as well." Brennan says innocently enough.
With that one statement all the tension leaves Booth's shoulders, "Yea Bones we know that as well." He smiles and then pulls her to his side so there is no mistaken that he is her protector.
Cullen decides to take control of the situation. "Ok, I am going to give everyone a chance to talk. Hacker you go first and tell me why Dr. Brennan was picked up on a warrant that the ADA in charge of the case did not get."
"The official case for Director Kirby's murder is still an open file. In going through the cold cases I found this one to still be active and no one ever followed up after the trial with the lead of Dr. Brennan, which was sloppy investigation work if I do say so myself." Hacker stated with a smug look on his face.
Booth noticed that Caroline started to smile and when she smiled it was never good. "I have the security tapes from the Jeffersonian that I would like to play for Director Cullen. If you would like to change your story I would do it now Hacker."
Caroline pressed play and everyone in the office heard and saw what transpired. The words that Brennan used and the emotion she placed behind them. There is no denying that she loves Booth. "So it is still your contention that your agents and the ADA in charge of this case intentionally did sloppy and let's be frank illegal work to get Dr. Brennan off on murder charges. So you believe that there was a conspiracy that your boss was involved in with the handling of Deputy Director Kirby's death. Am I supposed to arrest Cullen, Booth, and myself as well? Is that what you're looking for? Call your ADA and have him issue those warrants if there was such a gross injustice done."
Hacker was standing there like a fish with his mouth open. Caroline was just starting to speak again when Cullen held up his hand and said," OK enough. Dr. Brennan, the FBI would like to apologize to you for the gross misuse of power that Assistant Deputy Director Hacker has shown us. Hacker, you are on unpaid suspension with along with the ADA that obtained the warrant for you until further notice. And Booth, no you cannot shoot him. Now take Dr. Brennan home and let her get some sleep, she looks exhausted. Dr. Brennan, I'm sorry this has happened and please know that the FBI will get to the bottom of it. Congratulations by the way you two, now get out of here."
Brennan looks at Cullen and says, "Thank you Sam, it means a lot. Take me home Booth, I just want to go home."
"No problem Bones, let's go." He places his hand in the small of her back to guider her out of Cullen's office. One instance she is upright and the next she is falling and then in Booth's arms. "What is it Bones, what's wrong."
She looks up to his face and say, "It's probably because I haven't eaten that I am light headed."
"What!" Booth roars. "You didn't feed her. Charlie and Perotta knew that she hadn't eaten. So you placed a non nourished pregnant female in a holding cell because your ego was hurt. Try not to cross my path anytime soon Hacker. It would not be good if you did."
Hacker got a smirk on his face, "Are you threatening me? You are aren't you? I want agent Booth brought up on charges right now for threatening a superior officer. I want him suspended!"
Brennan spoke up and said, "Andrew, I thought we already went over superior vs. out ranking."
You could see that Hacker was getting ready to say something to Brennan. He started to open his mouth when Cullen looked at Hacker with disbelief. "Oh shut up Andrew, you brought this on yourself because your ego couldn't handle rejection. Take the good doctor home Booth, I will deal with this from here on out."
With gratitude in his eyes Booth said, "Thanks Boss."
As Booth started walking to the elevator you could hear Brennan say, "You can put me down now Booth, I feel much better and I can walk now."
Booth smiled at Brennan and said, "No Bones, I don't think so. I'm carrying you to the truck."
"Booth put me down, I am a grown woman and I can walk." She tried to wiggle out of his embrace.
"Not gonna happen." He said as he held on tighter
"Boooth, please!" She pouted.
"Wait a minute. Did the great Dr. Temperance Brennan just whine? Oh I have got to tell Angela this. You're whining now. Bones has evolved." Booth was looking at her with the "charm smile". That was the last of the conversation that they heard in Cullen's office as the elevator doors closed.
When they got back to Booth's house he immediately made her lay down on the couch and cover up with a blanket. He made them some vegetable soup and grilled cheese so they could have something in their stomachs before they went to bed. After they were done eating they went into the bed room. Brennan was already in bed and Booth was getting undressed when he all of the sudden stopped, looked at her and said, "Bones, I'm sorry. I can't help but feel that this is my fault. If I read the signs clearer, I could have known Hacker would try something like this."
She looked at him, patted the bed with her hand and replied, "It's not your fault Booth. Andrew just had a very different perception of how our relationship should have ended. I am sure he did not even imaging it ending with me pregnant by another man; my partner no less. Everything I said to him was true though. You are by far the superior agent and man for that matter."
He climbs into bed next to her, "Really." She can hear the smile in his voice as he opens his arms to her.
She crawls up his chest and situates herself so her head is directly over his heart. "Of course. I am by far the best in my field so it would only be self destructive to align myself with someone who was inferior to me. Besides I find that you are the only person whom I want to sleep with anymore."
Out of nowhere he flips her over onto her back."So is there any way I could convince you NOT to sleep right now."
She smiles up at him, "Oh, I don't know. What do you have in mind?"
Booth looks down at her, "Why don't I show you instead." And with those last words he starts devouring her mouth. Without even realizing it was happening he took off her nightgown and left her in her panties. He started kissing and licking and nibbling down her neck and stopped at her breasts. As he took one nipple into her mouth he palmed the other breast, slightly pinching the nub to a peak. "You are so beautiful." He moved to her other breast worshiping it as well. Once he had her squirming he moved down her body, kissing and licking her until she couldn't think anymore. He always took care and kissed her belly while he was doing this, always wondering what he did to be worthy of this magnificent woman and their child growing inside of her. He kissed her from her stomach to her inner thigh. "Bones, look at me," he said in a gravelly voice strained with desire. She looked at him with half lidded eyes desire very evident. "I love you Bones, only you." And with that he placed his tongue at her core and licked her in the most personal way there is. He was a very accomplished lover as it was but this night the only thing that was going through his mind was not his own release but showing her how to break the laws of physics repeatedly. He licked and sucked his way to her orgasm. And when he took her clit into his mouth and suck on it she splintered into a thousand pieces and he was there to catch her when she fell.
It felt like minutes from the time she climaxed to when she opened her eyes even though it was probably only seconds. When she opened them she found herself face to face with the chocolate eyes that have held all of her trust and love for so long. She still didn't trust her voice to speak but he did it for her. "Hi" he whispered in his erotic laced voice. She looked at him and finally found her voice, "Hi yourself." He pushed a stray lock out of her face," How are you feeling?" She languidly stretched her muscles and said, "Pretty good but ready for more. I need to feel you inside of me." He looked down into the pool of blue that he could get lost in forever and said,"Your wish is my command." And with that he moved her legs apart with his knee, lifted her hips and sunk into the one place that felt like home.
