So, there isn't much left of this book I don't think. About 2-3 chapter left I think, I'm not a hundred percent sure because I put in whatever my brain thinks of or if I get some inspiration. Just for note Alice and Daniel might not make another appearance until the very end just think of them hanging out with each other, lol.
I hope you like this chapter!
Bones Fanfic | Ghost in the Moonlight | Where is Alice?
As soon as Booth had realised that his only living little cousin could be in danger, Angela had helped him to gather everything they could so they could get it back to the Jeffersonian safe. Booth had dropped Angela off at the lab and sped quickly towards the apartment in Jericho where Alice was staying with Rebecca.
He had tried to call the number that Leah had left again and again but Alice didn't pick up, he was hoping that she was just ignoring him rather than the other option. The one he never wanted to think about. Leah told him not to tell the FBI, she said there was someone there that had started this whole thing and all the deaths were caused by that man. 'It's my fault' Booth thought, clutching the wheel tightly in grief and anger directed at himself.
An hour later he had finally arrived at the apartment, he ran all the way up the stairway to the correct floor, taking double steps to quicken his commute. He rushed down to apartment that Alice was renting with Rebecca. He lifted his hand to knock the door but something caught his eye, the door was already opened slightly. The door was busted in; Boot's eyes widen and immediately got out his gun from his holster pointing it in front of him as he slowly opened the door fully.
Booth walked in and instantly took notice of the state of the apartment, things were everywhere like there had been a fight that went down. "Alice!" He yelled, "Rebecca!" He called out for Rebecca even though she probably wouldn't answer he hoped that he would hear a little girl. But he got nothing just silence. He turned his head to the side and looked closer to the floor when he saw something red staining it. He bent down and touched it with his fingertips, looking at it closer he could identify it was indeed blood. The breath in his lung felt staggered, there was no Alice and no Rebecca; they were gone and there was a stain of blood on the floor.
Booth reached into his pocket and got out his phone, he dialed Cam, "Seeley, what is it? Angela's freaking out, what's happening?" Cam asked, concerned when she picked up the phone.
Booth was breathing heaving, still recovering from running fast and his system low on sleep, "They're gone Cam," He blubbered, "Alice and Rebecca, there's blood and the apartments wrecked. He has them."
Cam seemed to suck in a breath, probably in shock, "We'll work on it, and well find them. Both Leah and Daniel's bodies show that they were killed about 36 hours after capture if the timelines are right. I'll send the teams there and I'll make sure Simmons has nothing to do with it but I'll get some agents sent there."
Booth nodded, fighting tears, "He wouldn't be at the FBI building right now, and he'll be doing what he did to Leah and Daniel." He sniffed, "Cam, we have to find them. I can't lose any more family, not like this." He whispered.
Cam nodded on the other end, "I know Booth, I'll get everyone trying to find a location of where he took Leah and Daniel, which is where he'll most likely have taken Alice and Rebecca."
"Hurry." Booth demanded before closing his flip phone. He ran a hand over his face but stopped when he heard a creaking noise. His head snapped up and his gun was up, he walked around the room to find where the creaking was. In the Kitchen he found that it was coming from a lower cupboard, he frowned wondering what it could be. He lowered his gun slightly before touching the door handle. With one twist he opened it.
When Booth opened the cupboard he let out a breath of relief, and quickly put away him gun. In the cupboard was a small girl with short dark brown hair tied in a small pony tail behind her head. A brown and pink polka dot blanket was wrapped around her and she was curled into it, with tears running down her face. The girl look about a year and a half year old and it was the same girl Booth had seen when he was last at the apartment, Leah's daughter. Rebecca.
"Rebecca." Booth whispered, gently crouching down to her height. She looked scared, the only thing Booth could think of was that Alice had hid her in the cupboard and told her to be quiet. Something like Leah had done for her, she protected Rebecca. The little girl looked up to him, clutching the blanket more as if he were a threat, "It's okay," He said to her softly, seeing how scared she was, "You're okay." He brought his arms out and waited for her to let him lift her.
Rebecca looked like she was thinking about it, smart for such a small age but finally she gave in a jumped into Booth's arm, he brought her in to his chest as she sobbed. He rubbed the back of her head, cooing her to calm down and that she was safe now.
Later on the Jeffersonian team had arrived with a couple of agents and did their usual things at a crime scene. Booth stood outside with a paramedic who checked Rebecca out for any injuries. Cam came over to Booth, seeing that Rebecca had fallen asleep in his arm, her head laying itself on his shoulder. Booth had left the blanket over her which she continued to snuggle again.
When Angela had come back with the evidence criminating Director Simmons they had immediately checked everything out to see if it was true and they had even looked at all the cameras near Alice's apartment. They had found footage of him holding Alice bridal style and putting her into his black FBI issued vehicle. Everything was secretly directed to the FBI even everything Leah had found on her own with Daniel. Everyone was out to get Simmons now, everywhere was on the lookout.
"Seeley, do you need a ride back to the Jeffersonian?" She asked knowing that he would want to. "I still have a car seat in my car after babysitting the next door neighbour's baby."
Booth nodded, he was going to find Alice and Simmons in jail for good. Hours later everyone had gathered in Angela's room once again, Booth didn't let go of sleeping Rebecca afraid that she would go missing when his back was turned.
"I've determined that both Leah body was stored in a meat freezer," Booth flinched slightly at hearing that but thankfully no one seemed to notice, "Daniel's body was buried maybe a day or two after he was killed."
Cam spoke up, "Meaning that he probably died in Leah's arms if she were the one who buried in him the forest." She turned to Hodgins, "Hodgins, do you know where they were, um, tortured?" She hesitated to ask knowing Seeley was in the same room.
"Um," Hodgins glanced at Booth slightly, feeling like he would threaten to shoot him, "The particulates give me a location, but not a specific one." He typed into Angela's map and brought up the small area he had narrowed it down to, there were many old empty factories and small buildings scattered around. "A couple of them could be holding a meat storage unit."
Booth narrowed his eyes at the map, "He would have chosen an empty one, and somewhere he could keep everything out of sight and hearing range."
Hodgins frowned for a moment, trying to think of everything else he had found. "Oh!" He exclaimed his eyes now wide; he remembered that he had found a few cells of mad cow disease still left on to knife markings in both Leah and Daniel's skin. He turned to Angela, "Angi, is there any way to find out which of those factories shut down because of a mad cow disease. I found it on the blade markings."
Angela instantly nodded and started to type into her computer, she ran a scan of all the different factories and one of them popped up. One that was slightly to the side and covered in rustic marking, it had shut down back in the 60's. She smiled, looking back at everyone, "I found it."
Booth eyes widen and turned to Cam, "Cam, take Rebecca." She nodded and quickly took the little girl out of his arms; Rebecca snuggled into Cam's shoulder now.
Booth got out his phone as he rushed out of the room, Brennan following close behind. He called the FBI, "This is Special Agent Seeley Booth. I need a team to 345 Reovik Street, it's a factory. Director Simmons is holding Alice Mayland hostage. I'll be there shortly." The two of them ran to his car in a fast run.
Within 10 minutes they had arrived outside the factory, Brennan had pointed out the FBI black car that was hidden under a worn cream sheet. Booth had met with the agents that had also arrived, waiting for his orders. Each of them, including Booth had put on a bullet proof vest and loaded their guns. Even with a small fight Brennan had reluctantly stayed outside as they went in.
By the end of the night Simmons was in custody and the evidence was piling up on his, but they also had enough evidence to put away Ramon Ortez, the gangbanger that the FBI have been wanting to put away from years. Alice was in hospital with several cuts on her skin but luckily they had got there before the torture had really begun.
Now, Booth was sitting on a chair in Alice's hospital room while she slept. Holding Rebecca to his chest, she seemed to have slept through the whole thing.
Note: Okay, you might hate me because of how this ending went. I think I'll have the next chapter as the last one. I'm honestly starting to lose interest in this story so I'm trying to get it done so I can work on my two other Doctor Who stories. I really didn't know how to do the arresting scene either, so this chapter isn't really much but the bad guy is caught, YEY!
