"I'm late! I'm late!" Angela was speeding down the highway, trying to rush to pick up Andy from Tiny Tots. "Andy's the last one there!" she said to herself. She had to stop at a red light! "Dang it! Come on!" she said while pounding the steering wheel of her white ' 94 Ford Escort. Finally, it turned green. "Yes!" she screamed with relief.

Angela pulled up to the daycare center and got of her car. She went to the door and started to knock on it. "David? It's Angela! I'm here to pick up Andy. David?" Angela tried the doorknob and found that it was unlocked. She peeked in. "David?" She didn't get a response. She went up to Andy's assigned crib, but it was empty. But why is his diaper bag here? She walked a little bit of ways into the building. All of a sudden, she spotted a pair of legs just barely visible through the doorway. She walked cautiously into the room and found David there, unconsious, not breathing.

"Oh my god!" she exclaimed. She ran and placed two fingers on David's wrist. No pulse. At that point, Angela began to panic. She ran through every room of the daycare center and came out with nothing. No Andy. Angela instinctly grabbed her cell phone and punched Brennen's number in it as quickly as her polished nails would move. She could barely breathe and her throat felt like it was being constricted.

"Brennen," the other voice said.

"Oh my god, Brennen. D-D-Dav, Andy is-is mis, Omigosh Brennen. I ca-cam-!" was all Angela could say through her tears.

"Wait, Angela, calm down I can barely - Andy's what?" Brennen said.

"Andy is missing, Bren!" Angela finally said. There was no answer just the sound of the phone clattering. "Brennen?" Angela gave up, hung up, and just dialed 911.


"I just came her and, and the owner was dead and Andy was missing! I don't . . .!" Angela was busy giving an officer her statement, fresh tears streaming down her mascara-streaked face.

"Do you remember anything else, Ms. Montenegro?" asked the officer.

"No, I-" she was cut off as she saw Brennen and Booth running up to her, pushing through a crowd of spectators that have already gathered from nearby houses. "Oh, sweetie, I'm so -"

"Where is he?! Where is my baby??!" the forensic anthropologist screamed at Angela, taking her by her shoulders and shaking her.

"I don't know Bren, when I got here he was gone!" Before Angela had a chance to finish her sentence, Brennen took off running in the direction of the daycare. Booth took off after her. Two paramedics wheeled a gurney by Bren. A blanket was over it, covering its whole body. Brennen stared at it for a second then proceded to her destination. An officer by the door turned and saw Brennen running towards him and caught her before she could enter.

"Sorry, ma'am. This is a crime scene. You can't enter!" the officer told her. Brennen started to explain but Booth beat her to the punch.

After taking out his badge, "I'm Special Agent Seeley Booth, this is Dr. Temperance Brennen from the Jeffersonian, and she has FBI clearance to enter this building. This can be confirmed by my boss, Cullen. Her baby is the one who has been reported missing," he said, worry covering his last sentence.

"Ok, you can proceed," the officer said.

"Thank you!" Brennen stated, then ran to Andy's crib. Maybe this is all a nightmare! Maybe I will wake up and find him peacefully sleeping in his crib. Yeah, that's right. It's all a bad dream. Brennen thought. But it wasn't. Far from it actually. When she looked into his crib there was nothing there. Just the blue teddy bear that Andy slept with every night. When Brennen bought that she had thought, If it were real, bears are not blue and wouldn't even let a human near it. But now it was the only last remaining thing that Brennen had to prove that Andy was real and it wasn't just her imagination. Brennen stared at it and slowly picked it up out of the crib. Then she put it to her chest and started to sob. Her baby was gone and she felt helpless.

"Find any witness that saw or heard anything, then search the perimeter," Booth ordered a police officer. With a quick nod, the officer was gone.

Brennen stumbled back to a wall and and crouched down, sobbing uncontrobbaly, still clutching the teddy bear. Booth knelt down to her and took her into his arms trying to comfort her, letting her sob into his chest. He started to stoke her hair.

"Shh, shh it's alright. Everything's gonna be just fine. We'll find him. He's just fine," he said, even though he didn't believe it himself. Tears was even forming in his eyes but he didn't show it.

A baby's cry got everyone's attention.


Please don't hate me, again! Sorry this is such a short chapter. I'm kinda going through a writer's block and this is all I could come up with! Feedback please. I'll try to update soon.
