20 minutes later Angela, Tempe, Booth, Patience and some of the remanding squints who had been hiding, were all in the main room of the lab.
"Care to explain?" Booth asked, he was ordered by his boss to see what Ms. Moore knew of Marcus's failed attempt.
"Sure, I mean why not." Patience said as she followed Booth and Tempe to Tempe's office while everybody else was to examine and make sure all of Nicole's bones were still together.
"Ok, I got a call from Marcus." Patience started to explain once the entered the office. "He said he knew about the body and didn't want anybody finding it."
"It? Exactly what is 'it'? The body?" Tempe asked wondering what she meant.
"I'm not sure, he didn't say, he just said he didn't want it found. He told me what he was going to do, merely come in here and ask for the body, I guess Lisa told him where it was, but I know Marcus and he can get violent. I knew nobody would just hand the bones over, so I called the FBI and had them here as soon as I could."
"Why did he only listen to you?" Booth asked.
"I don't know, he always listened to me, never anyone else, I guess over the years he's come to trust me."
"Why didn't you try to stop him?" Tempe asked growing angry.
"Nobody I know can just talk Marcus out of something; he's aggressive and would probably kill them where they stood." Patience explained jumping up to face Tempe; they met eye to eye, the exact same height.
"Look you two, stop fighting, ok?" Booth ordered looking at the both of them at the same time. As he stared it hit him, could it be? Temperance and Patience, the twins? He would have to look into that very soon.
"Did Marcus kill Nicole?" Booth asked Patience trying to figure something out and pull the two apart.
"No, Marcus would kill someone, but never his own kids; he would kill FOR them, but never actually harm them."
"Really? because Lisa said he would beat them." Tempe chimed in.
"Well I wouldn't really know I don't bud into their personal life." Patience said moving towards Tempe again.
"Break it up you two." Booth said pacing. "Come on Bone's we need to go talk to Marcus."
"Bye." Tempe said smiling as she walked out of her office.
An hour later Booth and Tempe were in the interrogation room with Marcus, who had his lawyer at his side.
"So what were you looking for in the lab?" Booth asked as Tempe stood in the corner listening.
"My daughter." Marcus answered sternly.
"Why?"
"I wanted to get something from her."
"What?"
"You don't have to answer that." Marcus's lawyer said.
"The golden bracelet I gave her when she was born, it had her name on it."
"Why did you want the bracelet?"
"You don't have to answer that either." The lawyer spoke up once again, only this time getting a death glare from Booth.
"I needed it, she was my daughter, I needed something to remember her by." Marcus explained near tears, "she was my baby girl, she was the youngest daughter."
"Did you kill your daughter?" Tempe finally asked.
"Bones?" Booth asked giving her a look.
"That you definitely don't have to answer." The lawyer spoke up again.
"NO! I would never hurt her." Marcus said loudly.
"A source says you beat your children." Booth said.
"That means nothing!" the lawyer yelled, but Booth continued.
"Do you? Do you Mr. Pulaski? Do you beat your children?"
"No, I may hit them every once and again, but I don't beat them I'm a bad father I know that much, but I don't beat my kids!" Marcus yelled hitting the table with his fists.
"I think we've had enough of this!" the lawyer yelled and started to get up.
"Your right. Just one last question, if that's alright with you, Marcus." Booth said looking over to him.
"What?"
"Who did kill your daughter? I know you know."
