"Booth, we didn't know at first who he would come after next. There was no way of knowing. We did our best to try and find them as fast as possible.
He finally dared to make eye contact with his Agent.
"Booth, her entire team is in the hospital. Our own people are trying to find them. But they would have been faster. You know this, I know this. There's nothing..."
"Don't you dare finish that sentence."
"There is something we can do. The target is the entire team. So he still has to come after me."
Cullen opened his mouth to say something to Booth but when he heard the knock on the door he said "Come in" instead.
It was his secretary.
"I have a package for Agent Booth, Sir."
Booth took it and the secretary left. He opened it and immediately new what it was. It was an audiocassette. Cullen put it in his stereo and started the tape.
Seeley Booth. You must be so worried by now. I don't blame you. You're probably wondering who would do this. Well, I just hate to disappoint you, but I'm not going to tell you. I'll refresh your memory though. Luiz Cabrera. That should ring a bell, no?
It was silent.
Oh and Seeley, I would hurry if I were you. See, I have 2 people here. One has been drugged, the other poisoned. They both need medical attention. Urgently. Bye Booth.
Both men were looking very pale.
Luiz Cabrera. He was the biggest drug dealer in DC.
One of the other FBI teams had been following his gang for weeks. But their own lab had been late to process the evidence. They weren't ready for the trial yet. Cabrera's lawyer knew this. He had been pushing the trial up. Once Bones found out she offered to process the evidence. And she had.
Because of that, they had all been sent to jail.
"No wonder he left Cam at the Jeffersonian and Zach at the FBI building. Or that they were all drugged."
Booth hadn't heard a word his boss was saying.
Why would he say that I know were they are? Hey, but wait a minute.
"Sir, where did you say that Angela was found?"
"She was found in the garden at the Jeffersonian... Booth are you suggesting that they're at the Jeffersonian?"
Booth sighed. "It's a possibility, Sir. It's big enough. And they were always kidnapped for 24 hours. So if he tortured them at night, there would be no one around to hear them scream.
Besides it's our only shot. It's our best shot. Bones and Parker... they don't have much longer.
The mere thought of them being drugged and poisoned was enough to bring him to tears.
"You're right. The least we can do is give it a try."
