Chapter 2: The Chip in the Computer
Dear Seeley and Temprence,
I was cheated.I was cheated and robbed. You don't play the game that way,you play the game with my rules,and I have new rules.
1) Wire transfer 200,000,000 dollars in my account in Barbados,account number 25183665
2) You have 48 hours,well ,actually,your child has 48 hours,because if you exceed those hours,you live,and she dies.
3) If you try to cheat me this time,The good Docter Temprence is next on my list. Or, perhaps Parker , or maybe them both,who knows?
Signed,
The Grave Digger

Booth quickly stashed the letter in his shoe. Yes, an odd place to hide something,but,If Bones goes to hug him,she'll feel it though the jacket,and anywhere around the house,well,that's just to risky.
So,Untill he can stash it somewhere in his office at the Hoover,it'll have to stay in that very uncomfortable place.
With the letter hidden by his shoe and pants leg,he proceeded to open the package. Wairy that it might be a bomb of some sort,he opened it rather carefully. Once he had all the brown paper off,it was just a simple,white,square box. Like one might put a small cake opened the lid,and instead of cake,found a small computer chip, or so he thought;He's no expert. Bones might know.Or,He thought,I bet Angela would know better than Bones;she works with computers all day.So,knowing that Bones wouldn't freak out all that bad over what could be a computer chip,he went searching for her,and it wasn't long before he found her. Curled up to where her knee touches her elbow,tear tracks on her face,and cluching Joy's summer dress,was Breannan.
Booth's heart broke at the sight. He knew he was having a hard time with all of this,but Bones...It was like she'd just given up on everything. She mopes around the house all day,not doing much of anything to help the case,because if she does,everone knows she'll just crumble and breakdown right before there eyes.
He hates leaving her alone all day like that,but he has work to do, and if she can't help,than he does everything in his power as a human being to find goes over to the fitfully sleeping Brennan and shakes her shoulder."Bones,"He whispers."C'mon Bones,We need to go to the Jeffersonian...Wakey Wakey."He runs his hand across her cheek,wetness from tears still there.
She opens her eyes,and her voice cracks."Why?"She asks."Because I just found evedence,and it's a computer chip,I just need Angela to take a look at it."She shuts her eyes tight."Why do I need to go?"She sounds desperate to stay home."Because,Bones,I think it's something really important regarding Joy,plus, I need you there,Temprence."She opens her eyes again,and something like a silent communication passes between them,and she just nods."Let me get dressed."Her voice is a bit stronger.

Ten minutes later,Booth and Brennan are in Booth's SUV,headed for the Jeffersonian.
One question has been nagging on Brennan's mind all day,and now that Booth says he's found evedence,she can't help but ask,"You think we'll find her?"More damned tears prick at her eyes,but she holds them looks at her,but only for a moment before his attention is turned back to the road. He takes her hand,gives it a little squeeze,and says confedently,"I know we'll find her Bones,I know it."He gives her a weak smile and she returnes it,strength ebbing into her from his touch.

Once they arrive,Booth takes the computer chip,with a gloved hand of course,he doesn't want to comprimise some sort of something that might be on there,and carries it in,heading straight towards Angela's office.
They get sympethetic looks from some co-workers,but Booth and Brennan ignore them.
All the squints almost never leave the Jeffersonian; Hodgins and Angela practically never go home,except for sleep,Cam stayes as much as she can,due to the fact that she has a newborn baby to take care of. Clark ,Wendell,Nigel-Murray,all the interns,stay as well,devoted to catch the sick bastard who dare take Docter B's kid.
They all love Brennan,and were all at Booth and Brennan's wedding. Brennan had agreed to do a church wedding due to the fact it would make Booth unimagineably happy;Hell,she even let a priest hich them up. Of course,they all love Booth to. Throughout the many years they have all known Seeley Booth,they had all grown to love and respect him. He finally showed Brennan what love is,that it's not just two chemicals in the brain,That breaking the laws of physics is possible,and a million other things they couldn't be happier for.
Once they were in Angela's office,Booth called out,seeing as she was immersed in whatever she was doing."Angela"No change."Angela!"Brennan called. Ange's head snapped up,and a suprised look covered the artists features."Sweetie!What are you doing here?" She looked from Booth to Brennan,back to Booth then back to Brennan."Booth says he's found a computer chip,he told me on the way over here that he had found it in a box on the porch,he claims it deals with Joy." Angela needed no further explanation, and she nodded,and carefully took the computer chip. Angela's artist trained eyes soon noticed a tiny blue fiber.
She grabbed nearby tweesers and picked it off the chip,bagging it,she handed it to Brennan."Take that to Hodgins,he'll figure out who or what handled this chip." Brennan nodded,and bending down to hug her friend,who was sitting in her chair,whispered in her ear,"Thanks Ange." Angela nodded."No problem,Bren."Then,Brennan rushed out of Angela's office,heading for Doctor Hodgins work station,where he was working on some kind of Beetle.
Once Brennan was out of ear and eye shot,Booth pulled the letter from the Gravedigger from his shoe."There was this to,Ange."Angela looked confused at why he didn't give her this when Bren was in the room,but kept it to herself and read it,her hand coming to cover her mouth after she read it."You haven't told Bren?" Seeley shook his head."Thats not good."Angela said."Even though it'll almost kill her,you need to tell her,she's your wife,your not supposed to lie to her."That made Booth feel really guilty. He hates lying to her,but he thought it was for the best."I know,Ange...But...I don't know..She's stressed enough as it is,and if she finds out that Taffet took Joy..I don't even know what'll happen then."He let out a long,confused sigh.
"Taffet took Joy..?"The scared,panicked whisper cut though the silence.
