I'm putting it up on time, Yay! I didn't get any reviews, but I know people are reading. If you would let me know how good/bad my writing is, please let me know

Enjoy!

After Alison left, Brennan turned back to John.

"I know that losing a sibling can be hard for anyone, but I need to ask some questions. Is that okay?" Brennan may not have lost Russ in the way that he lost Alice, but she still lost him.

"Yeah, I guess that's okay. I would really like to help. Alice and I weren't blood related, but she was the closest to family I'd ever had." Brennan understood completely. Booth told her once that there was more than one type of family and she liked to believe that was true. "I've known Alice since I was four years old, she was six. I was new in the Wonderfield home, but she had been there most of her life. Even back then she was quiet. The only time I would hear her talk is late at night, but even that was quiet. Our foster mom, Sarah, would yell at her a smack her, but Alice never said a thing. She just took it and then went upstairs to read." Brennan was so close to tears and she could tell the boy was too. She turned to Booth, seeing him civilly talking to the principal about suspicious people.

Brennan turned back toward John. "Was there anyone else who was hurtful to your sister?"

"No, but there was this teacher. Mr. White. He was Alice's English teacher. She would come home some times and talk about how he freaked her out. I would talk to him." John seemed sincere about this, but it would have to wait until tomorrow.

(Page Break)

The whole time Booth was talking to Mrs. Lank, he would cast glances at Brennan. He knew that she went to talk to the brother, but when he saw the tears, he was concerned.

He had just asked Mrs. Lank if there were any people that were being complained about from the students. "Mr. White. At lot of girls would come to me about how he would freak them out. There was never any evidence, so we couldn't fire him."

"Thank you that is enough for today. We'll be back tomorrow to talk to Mr. White." He looked over to see that Brennan was done as well and she was making her way over to him.

"I need to go back to the lab and see what else I can find on Alice's body."

"Sounds good to me Bones." They were on their way back to Booths car. "We need to come back tomorrow to check out -"

"Mr. White. John said that Alice would come home freaked out because of him." Brennan finished for him.

They were in the SUV now and both turned to look at Brennan. "I know that you were comparing yourself to Alice back there, when her friend was talking. Even though other people might find you cold or unfeeling, I think you are pretty nice and have a huge heart. "Brennan didn't know, until then, how much she needed to hear that. Her mood was instantly better.

"Thanks Booth. I just don't see how they have been able to stay in that house for this long. The mother was horrible. "Brennan's sadness was creeping up again.

"They won't be there much longer. We have CPS looking them over. John will get put in a nice home. Don't worry." Booth tried to calm her down.

"What if the next home isn't any better than the last home? What if it is worse? What about John's siblings? "Brennan knew firsthand how bad the foster system could be. She didn't want that for anyone.

Booth reached over and grabbed Brennan's hand. She tensed up at first, but then she relaxed into it. "We will find a way to make sure they are safe. Okay? We will. "This calmed Brennan.

"After we talk to the teacher tomorrow, we should talk to the mother again. There are lot of unanswered questions that she can answer." Brennan wanted this case to be over and she wanted those kids put in a safe home.

Then, she got an idea.

AN: Well, what is her idea? What do you think it is? Next chapter might come early, but I've got work to do right now so I have to stop it here.

Review? Please
