Hey, OMG thank you to those people who reviewed you made my day. Please review, because it makes me feel like you are enjoying the story so then I'm not second guessing myself. Plus I'm going to dedicate the next chapter to everyone that reviews this one. Also note that at the end of the last chapter the story headline was that the father was turning his life around for his kids, well I picked up on my own mistake!! Lol coz when Temperance described the crash scene it was actually two adults and a child, my bad. So I've fixed it up here... DISCLAIMER: Only in my dreams could I ever own Bones (I DONT OWN BONES).
Temperance looked at the headline for the story. Father was turning his life around for his family, before they were all killed in a horrific crash...
Without thinking Temperance snatched the article out of the woman's grasp and skimmed the story through blurry eyes. Everyone that was near her had just stopped in their places at the sound of her loud, pain filled cry. Her tears flowing down her cheeks like a waterfall, she sunk to the floor with the article, held clenched to her chest. No one could move for a minute, they just watched in a daze Temperance sinking to the floor, her face contorted by the pain. The old woman that was next to her crouched down to Temperance, at eye level the old lady reached out and rubbed her back in a circular motion.
"Dear, are you going to be okay? Did you know this family?" She asked gently, waiting for Temperance's reply, but she didn't get one.
Temperance felt like her heart was on fire, if that was even possible. She blocked out everything around her and just let out the tears and screams, the same thing she had been doing every night after the accident.
More of the costumers in the grocery store started to watch her. The manager and another employee came in and scoped the woman off of the floor and headed towards the back of the store. Once at the staff lounge the manager and employee gently sat Temperance down. Her crying started to ease after 10 minutes, the manager – male, early forties, handed her a box of tissues and a glass of water. She took the water, finishing it quickly and then grabbed the tissues. "Th...Thank...You, Mark", she hiccupped, reading the name from his badge.
"Are you okay?" His voice laced with concern.
"I...I don't know really," Her voice trembled. She looked up into his pale green eyes and started to cry again.
"Let me ring someone to come and get you".
"Okay, you can call him", Temperance said writing out his number. "He works for the FBI."
It was just after 12 o'clock, he was sitting in his office putting together some paper work, when his phone rang. He quickly set the papers aside and grabbed the phone.
"Hello...Yes...of course...is she okay...I'll be right there", He quickly hanged up the phone and grabbed his car keys. He hopped into his car and sent a text message, Meet me in my office in 20 mins, it's about Brennan.
After 5 minutes he was at the store and was being showed to the staff lounge, when he opened the door, he met eyes with Temperance, then with the manager. He tilted his head towards the door.
"Can I have a word with you, Sir?" He asked. The manager nodded and followed him out.
"What happened?" He questioned the manager, once they were out of the room.
"She was clenching this to her chest and was crying and screaming", the manager replied handing the article to him. He took the article and started to read about it, and he knew exactly why she had broken down the way she did.
"Thank you for your assistance, I'll take it from here." He shaked the managers hand and returned to the staff lounge, while the manager went on with business.
He closed the door and pushed a seat over to where she was. She looked up at him. "Are you going to be alright? Do you want to talk about it?" He asked her.
"I didn't know who else to call," She started to cry again, the tears streaming down her already tear stained cheeks, as she slowly rocked backwards and forwards.
"It's ok, I'm glad you called me". He said before leaning forward and embracing her in a hug. The hug lasted for what seemed like a long time, before they finally left.
He convinced her to come back to his office so that they could talk, she finally agreed, so they made their way towards the FBI building. They rode the elevator in silence, once they got to his office and he opened the door, she could see that it wasn't just going to be her and him talking.
"What is this?" Temperance screamed
"We are both here because we want to help you through this", He said
"If I wanted to talk to Him," she said point at him, "I would have called HIM!!" She continued to scream.
A/n: Poor Brennan :(
