There was some interest in this story after all. Thanks.
This dream takes place after "Man in the Cell".
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
He was walking through a ship. It looked like an old ship. It certainly was uncared for. Walking down the passageway, Booth noticed that there were doors on either side. Stopping, he tried to open the door to the right. Turning the knob, the door opened to an empty room. There was nothing to see in this room except bare walls. Checking a few other doors, Booth found the same thing over and over again. Empty rooms.
Realizing that he wasn't accomplishing anything, Booth continued down the passageway. Getting to the end, Booth found himself facing some stairs leading up. Looking back down the passageway, he didn't see anyone. The whole ship seemed to be deserted except for him. It was very quiet with the occasional pop or gurgle sounding in the distant.
Sighing, Booth walked up the stairs and found himself in another passageway. Looking down the passageway, he didn't see anyone. Nothing stirred. Not understanding where he was or why he was there, Booth took his phone out of his jacket pocket and dialed Brennan's number. The phone started to ring and then went to voice mail. Puzzled, Booth ended the call and put the phone back into his pocket.
Deciding that if he was on a ship, it would be better to go topside so Booth turned back to the stairwell and slowly climbed the stairs. At each new passageway, he would stop and listen and then continue up the stairs.
After awhile, Booth started to worry. All he was doing was climbing stairs. He didn't think ships could be this big and yet all he was doing was climbing stairs. Stopping, Booth sat down and leaned back with his elbows on the step above where he was sitting. Closing his eyes, he rested.
He had only been resting for a moment, when he heard a child calling to him.
"Daddy, Daddy, find me Daddy. Come find me."
Recognizing Parker's voice, Booth sat up and listened. Standing up, Booth continued to climb the stairwell. At each new passageway he would look down the hall; but, no one stirred. Getting frustrated, Booth stopped his climb and took his phone out of his pocket. Dialing Brennan's number again, he was shunted over to voicemail. Getting a little worried, Booth put his phone back into his pocket and sat down.
Calling out, Booth said, "I'm not climbing anymore."
Booth sat in silence for awhile. After a few minutes of quiet, Booth heard Parker calling to him again.
"Please Daddy, find me. I'm scared."
Standing up, Booth called out, "Parker. Where are you Buddy?'
Not hearing anything, Booth started climbing up the stairs again. Seeing what looked like a light at the top of the stairwell, Booth jogged up the rest of the stairs. Reaching the top, he came out onto the topside of the ship. Looking around, Booth saw Parker being held in the arms of a man. Slowly, Booth walked towards the man and Parker.
Parker, seeing his father, said, "Daddy. Help me Daddy."
Nodding his head, Booth continued to walk towards them. Stopping when he was three feet from the man and Parker, Booth said, "Let Parker go. He's just a child. He hasn't done anything to you."
Smiling Howard said, "No; but, you did. You let me go. You murdered me. Why did you let me go? I thought you were a good guy. Good guys don't drop people to their deaths, do they?"
Frowning, Booth said, "I couldn't help you. You wouldn't help me help you. I couldn't hold you forever. I tried; but, I couldn't help you. Please, let Parker go."
Sighing, Howard said, "I thought I could fly you know. I thought when you dropped me that I would just fly away. I didn't though. I just fell and died. Do you think Parker can fly?"
Shaking, Booth said, "Please let Parker go, Howard. He's just a little boy. He doesn't deserved to pay for my mistake. I'm asking you. Please let him go."
Smiling, Howard said, "Oh sure, I'm going to let him go." Dragging Parker to the railing, Howard looked back at Booth and said, "I'm going to let him go like you let me go."
Screaming, Booth ran towards Howard and grabbed Parker from Howard's hands, tossing Parker to the side and away from the railing.
Laughing, Howard grabbed Booth and flung them both over the ship's railing. Booth, seeing the sea below rushing towards him, closed his eyes and prayed.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Feeling his body being shaken, Booth awakened to find his son, Parker shaking his arm.
"Wake up Daddy and play with me," Parker said.
Gasping for air, Booth realized that he was lying on his couch in his apartment. Parker was safe. He was safe. Howard Epps was dead. Thank God.
Oooooooooooooooooo
Let me know what you think, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
