Chapter 9
Booth looked up when he finally noticed the silence around him. He looked around and saw that Angela and Sarah had already left. He wasn't sure what to do next but he knew that he needed to find his wife's room first so that they could talk. He glanced back at the front desk to see if the nurse had returned from her earlier errand. He stood up when he saw that she was back at her post.
"How may I help you, sir?" the nurse asked when she noticed him approaching.
Booth remembered the reason he came to the hospital and asked for the victim's mother's room number. He was told that the patient had died earlier that morning from the complications of her illness. So the victim doesn't have any more living relatives, Booth thought.
"My wife was also admitted in this hospital and I need her room number," Booth told the nurse.
"What's your wife's name, sir?"
"Dr. Temperance Brennan."
"I'll check." The nurse put in Brennan's name on the search bar in her computer. She looked up as soon as she saw the results. "I'm sorry, sir, we are not allowed to give out the room number to anyone."
"But she's my wife!" Booth yelled at the nurse.
"I'm sorry but that's the hospital policy. Her family requested that her medical information be kept private due to Dr. Brennan's celebrity status and that they will be the ones who will inform those who needs to know."
"I'm a federal agent!" Booth showed her his badge. "And she's my wife! I need to know" He was getting angry because he was not informed about his wife's condition and frustrated because they still won't tell him anything.
"Funny how he claims that now, isn't it, Aunt Cam?" Booth heard the sarcastic voice from behind him. He turned around and was surprised to see his son with Cam.
"What are you doing here, Parker? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" He asked his son.
"We were dismissed early. Mom said I could spend the afternoon here. What are you doing here?"
"Well, the mother of the victim in my current case was here so I went here to talk to her only to find out that she died this morning. While I was waiting for the nurse, I overheard Angela and a doctor she called Sarah talking and found out that Bones is in the hospital."
"So why are you still here, Seeley?" Cam asked. "You should return to work and finish the case. I believe that Hodgins found something from the particulates."
"How can you ask me that, Camille?" Booth asked angrily. "How I can even think about work when my wife's in the hospital! I need to see her but they won't tell me what room she's in."
"But isn't this what you wanted, Dad?" Parker asked his father. "You told her that you don't want to see her again. Life is giving you what you want, you should be happy." With that Parker turned to walk away with Cam following closely. Before the pair could reach the double doors separating the front lobby to the rest of the hospital, Parker stopped to address the nurse. "Don't let him through. He tried to kill my mother. He might attempt it again."
Booth watched in shocked as his son disappeared from the view. How did Parker know the last words he told Bones? And when did he start referring to Bones as his mother? Booth wondered. He also remembered the stranger's story from the night before. I told my wife I never want to see her or talk to her again and that's what happened. Booth hoped that that wouldn't happen to him and Bones. He was wrong, he knew that, and now he needs to do whatever it takes to make everything right. But first he needs to know where Bones' room is located and he knew that Angela could give him the room number so he decided to wait for her. He sat down on one of the chairs, his earlier thought running in his mind again.
Oh God, what have I done?
