Chapter 8
"Bren, why didn't you tell us about this earlier?" Angela asked with a worried look on her face.
"I don't know, it was easier to ignore it. But, lately I have been thinking about it and I wanted to tell you, so you knew why I want Sarah to be a secret," Brennan said wiping the tears off her face.
"Don't worry, Bren, we are not going to let it out especially now. But, they are going to figure it out sooner or later," Angela replied.
"I know, but I am not worried about that right now. So... do you have an id for our victim yet," Brennan said changing the subject.
"Well, as a matter of fact I do. The victim is Samuel Evans, 54, only one relative is listed, his daughter, Amanda. Address is in the file," Angela said handing a file over to Brennan.
"Thanks, Ange, I will call Booth and let him know. Can you tell Cam, that you have got a face, please," Brennan asked.
"Sure, sweetie, just take a few minutes in here, the boys and Cam saw you with Booth so be ready for questions," Angela warned leaving the room. Brennan sat on her couch with her head in her hands trying to calm herself down as much as she could before going out onto the platform. She finally built up the nerve to walk out on the platform, as soon as it was not obvious she had been crying. She quickly called Booth to tell him about the id and then left her office to work until Booth arrived.
"Hey, Dr. B did you heat we got an id?" Hodgins asked obviously not bringing up what had happened in her office.
"Yes, that's good, Booth is on his way so we can talk to the victim's daughter," Brennan replied. As she said this Booth arrived at the Jeffersonian and motioned for her to some with him. Brennan could tell he was still annoyed and most likely began to track down Brett.
***********
The ride to Amanda's house was filled with an awkward silence, with neither of them wanting to bring up what had occurred earlier. Booth was thoroughly questioning himself over why Brennan had kept this information form him for all these years, and didn't feel like he had to know. While Brennan was wondering when he would crack and yell at her, like he usually did when he bottled things up for too long. Luckily they had arrived at the house and put there personal thoughts aside to focus on the case.
"Ok, Bones when we get in there, let me do all the talking," Booth said knocking on the front door. Brennan just nodded.
"Hello, can I help you?" a girl answered the door.
"Yes my name is Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI, and this is my partner Dr, Temperance Brennan. Are you Amanda Evans?" Booth said very professionally.
"Yes, is this about my father, have you found him?" Amanda replied with sadness in her eyes.
"Yes, may we come in?" Booth asked as Amanda let them in.
"We have found your father, we believe he has been murdered. We are very sorry for your loss," Booth said.
"Oh my God, I thought when he didn't come home something was wrong,:" Amanda said holding back tears.
"We need to ask you some questions that may help us find who did his," Booth said and as Amanda nodded he continued. "Did your father have any other family other than yourself?" Booth asked.
"No, he was a foster child. I was his only family." She replied, Brennan noticeably cringed at this.
"Where did he work?"
"He worked for a building and construction company, Buildings Limited." She replied.
"That's all the questions we have for now. If you think of anything else please give me a call. We are very sorry for you loss." Booth said as he left his card and let Brennan and himself out.
"Well, Bones tomorrow we will go to where Sam worked and maybe ask if he had any problems," Booth said while Brennan nodded again without saying a word. Booth knew he should talk to her but didn't know how to bring up the subject without getting angry with her.
