X-x-X-x-X-x
"Yeah, Agent Booth found out that he had escaped last week. And he was on the Jeffersonian three days ago."
His words were still rocking in her head. Sweets father was out. And he had been on the Jeffersonian. What the hell was he doing there? How did he enter? Did he killed Sweets? No, he couldn't. He's his father for God sake! A father can't hurt his child.
But the truth is that he had hurt Sweets before. But kill him? That is too much.
She had to find him. She had to talk with him! She needed to know the true.
She grabbed the phone and started dialing the familiar number.
"Agent Booth here" she heard a male and strong voice saying.
"Hi" She whispered "Look, I need you to do me a favor."
"What?"
"I need you to find me Sweets father. I want to talk with him, I need to!"
"About what?"
"You're asking me why I want to talk with him? He abused Sweets, and he was here three days ago! Oh, and that reminds me, you knew about this and you didn't tell me! I know we're on a bad moment of our marriage, but we work together, and you have to tell me these things!"
"Hey Bones, calm down ok? You have to understand that lately all we do is fighting, so I'm sorry if I forgot to mention that while you're screaming to me saying that I'm a bad father!" Booth answered with an offended tone.
"That's not what I'm saying… I'm sorry… Would you please help me?"
"Ok, I'll call a nanny and I'll try to find him."
"Thank you so much. I love you." Brennan said.
"Bye" Booth replies.
X-x-X-x-X-x -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ok honey, daddy has to go now. " Booth said to his little daughter. "Give daddy a kiss!" He continued and started laughing.
"Mr. Booth, should I give her milk or food?" Lindsay, the nanny, said.
"Give her milk, she loves it!" he said and then turned his gaze to Christina "Well, bye honey, daddy loves you very much!"
And then he left his house.
He went to a cabin phone and he dialled a number.
"Hello?" He heard in the other side of the line.
"Am I talking to Mr. Andrew Jennings? "
"Yes, it's me. Who am I talking with?"
"It's Agent Booth, and we really have to talk."
X-x-X-x-X -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The two men were on the interrogatory room. Booth felt release that Andrew accepted to appear but now he had to found out if he was the killer they were looking for. He thought about his actions in the last few days… All of his friends were mad at him, he knew it. But his relation with Brennan was so bad! He was really trying to save his marriage when Sweets suddenly died. He couldn't even believe! His best friend had been killed and no one could understand him… Now he would do the right thing, find Sweets` killer.
"The point is, Mr. Jennings, I don't like you and you probably don't like me either but I need you to write your confession in this paper." And he gave him a pen and a paper.
"Hey, hey wait a moment! What are you saying? A confession? I did nothing!" The man was incredulous.
"Don't play games with me! You know exactly what I'm talking about. Dr. Lance Sweets was killed and I know you're the murdered." He said feeling like he would punch the man in front of him.
"Wha… What are… you saying?" The man was crying "Are you saying than my son is dead? Oh my God…"
"How do you dare to call him SON? You're not his really father! We know how you treated him when he was a little child. You don't deserve to be called father!" Booth had exploded. "So tell me why you came here looking for him."
"Look… You have every reasons in the world to hate me but believe me I didn't kill him. I came here on the other day to…" He looked to the other side to hide his emotion. "…to say him that I was sorry. Sorry for making him suffer when I should protect him. Sorry for not had been there when he become a man, sorry for not being the father that he needed, and to say to him that I am very proud of the man that he become… I mean to say that I was proud of him. I also wanted to told him that I didn't want him to consider me a father because I know he had amazing parents that gave him all the love and guidance I couldn't give to him. I.. I just wanted his sorrow."
Booth could see sincerity in the man`s eyes but he was though to never believe.
"Let's imagine that I believe in you. If you're not the killer, who is it?" Booth asked.
"I don't know."
"That's right, you don't know. You don't know if he had enemies, if he had someone who wanted to hurt him, you don't know anything about him, so how do you want me to believe that you were here to apologize to him? How can you say that you love him, when you hurt him when he was a kid and needed a father? Why?"
"I used to lose my mind. I was young myself… I know I don`t have an excuse but if I could go back on time, I would do it without blink." The man answered with his eyes full of tears.
"You used to lose your mind? Please. Don't make fun of me ok? You're a cower! "
"I'm saying the true, believe me, please believe me."
"You're lucky is that I don't have enough proofs to keep you in here. Now get the hell out of here, and stay in contact. We may have to talk again." Booth said with a look that could kill.
"I'm so sorry" The man said "Please find the killer of my Lance, please."
Booth watch as the man leaved the room.
"Why is this all happening? Why did he have to come back to destroy everything? Why?"
X-x-X-x-X-x-X-x -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Brennan was on her office trying to distract herself from the tragedies of the last few days. In order to this she was writing a chapter from her new book but this appeared to be an impossible task. All she could think was about Booth and Sweets` father.
"I hope Booth is able to put that man in jail. For everything he did to Sweets and to all of us because we are all suffering... I mean we lost a member of our surrogate family. Oh God! Will I ever pass through this awful pain?"
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn`t noticed someone entering.
"Dr. Brennan... I... I`m sorry for disturbing you but..." Brennan looked up and saw Daisy in front of her. Her eyes were red probably from too much crying. She felt guilty because since Sweets` dead she hadn't talk to her.
"Miss Wick... I mean Daisy of course you're not disturbing me. I`m very glad to see you here. We haven't talked too much since... well you know... but I want you to know that I`m her for whatever you need."
"Thank you, . Look I didn`t came to work before because I`m trying to deal with something... something that I had never imagine that could happened... I loved him so much! I mean I still love him! " At this moment she started crying and Brennan remembered when she was also crying and Sweets had embraced her. She wished she had that capacity to make people feel better but she hadn`t...
"Daisy I`m pretty sure that Sweets loved you too very much. And I know how hard it has been to all of us his loss... We are all looking for answers that we can`t find and a part of us wishes to wake up from this nightmare" Daisy Looked at her when she said this and Brennan understood. "I know that what I said is obviously impossible because we are not sleeping but like Booth once told me, we have to see life from different perspectives."
"I just wanted Lance to be here with me... Now that I needed him the most he disappears for ever I can`t do anything about it! I fell so unable... People say that everything has a reason but I don`t agree. For what reason in this world would Sweets be dead? He was one of the good guys! He deserved to be here more than lots of... of us!" Daisy was clearly revolted against the world... But what could Brennan say? She felt the same...
"I don`t know Daisy... I just don`t know... I guess we`ll never know. But you`re not alone, we are friends and friends always support each other. In tribes when a member dies the other ones stay together and help each other. So we`ll do the same."
"It`s very nice of you, Dr. Brennan, but I don`t think that you or anybody else will be able to help me..." Brennan started to worry, she felt like Daisy wasn`t telling her everything.
"Look Daisy, I know I`m kind of a boss for you... I prefer to call it a mentor but right now I want you to see me as a friend so please let me help you. I can see in your face that you`re not telling me everything."
Daisy sat down and looked to her new friend. Her eyes were full of water and Brennan could sense that she was tremendously nervous.
"Dr. Brennan... I...I`m pregnant... And Lance was the father."
