Chapter 11
"It said what!" Booth exclaimed angrily causing his voice to travel through the apartment.
"I'm afraid Booth. This is getting out of control way to fast. She's in serious danger this time."
"When isn't she?" he said, "Ok, we'll get some help, leave it to me and don't let this spread."
He hung up the phone call and as he turned around he was startled by Bones standing there absorbing the information.
"Angela," he replied to her silent question, "Ryan sent some photos to the Jeffersonian with yet another message."
"What was it?"
"She'll pay," this caused her to pale significantly and unconsciously grip her arm.
"You won't though Bones. If I have anything to do with it."
"I know," she said trying her hardest to give him a glimmer of a smile.
"I think we need help Bones. I wouldn't normal recommend this but your Dad could be of some use…"
"No! He can't know. He'll kill him Booth and I know this is hard to understand but I still love him like a brother. He was there when I needed him the most. And he's ill now, he doesn't really know what he's doing."
"You can't defend him. He hurt you and is hell driven to destroy you." At her defeated posture he added, "He helped you then and I'm thankful but it was his choice and he can't take it back. His illness is no excuse."
"But…"
"But nothing we need help," he said whipping out his phone and clicking on the right name. His eyes never left his anxious partners as he listened as he heard one ring then two and then the familiar greeting of the ex-con.
"Max, we need your help."
"Danny is it?" Cam questioned the young man with mousy brown hair as she strode with purpose towards him. At his silence she continued, "You just delivered a packet to the medical legal lab. I need to know who sent it."
"I um don't know. It was just there with the rest of the things to be delivered, Dr Saroyan. Didn't it have a return address or anything?"
"No, You didn't see anyone suspicious hanging around? Because this wasn't transported via post, someone must have slipped it into the pile."
"I don't think so but I could check the security footage?"
"Thank you. Could you come and update me after you've gone through it."
"Absolutely Dr. Saroyan. I will get to it right away," he said immediately making his way hastily to the security office to complete his task.
Cam returned to find Hodgins trying to recover prints off of the envelope and photos while Angela was stood next to him. "You don't have to do that Jack, we already know who it is," she said testily.
"Then tell me who Angie!"
"I already told you I cant. It's too complicated. And Bren should tell you herself."
Approaching slowly Cam managed to sneak up on them. "She already knows who this is?"
Jumping slightly Angela turned to Cam and gave her a solemn nod. "You need to tell me what's going on now Angela. We could all be in danger, we need to know what we're getting into."
"You'll have to ask Brennan. She's at Booths at the moment," at that Cam pick up her phone and pressed speed dial 3.
"Booth."
"Seeley. Me, Angela and Hodgins are on our way. We need to know what's going on."
"The more the merrier," he said sarcastically as he hung up.
Cam turned back to the rest getting ready to tell them to head out when Danny came running up to her. He held a sheet of paper. Now they had a face.
Really short, I know. But now the action is really going to start. They'll all know I wonder what Max's reaction will be? Any ideas feel free to PM me :)
