Christine walked into the Hoover building. She felt a little anxious. She could have waited until Booth would visit The Lab, but now she was here. She bit her teeth together and continued walking inside the big hall. There was some stairs and some elevators. But before that she'd to go through some security. Great. This wasn't exactly as easily as she thought it would be.
"Name?" A security guy asked her.
"Eh, you really need that?" Christine said.
"Yes"
"Christine... Johnson"
"Thank you, get in the line, Next..."
Christine got back in a queue that was not to long. She took of her jacket, her necklace and Booth bracelet that she now wore around her wrist. She went through a security box as at the airports and got out on the other side. She took on all her belongings again and headed for the elevators.
She'd no idea of which floor Booth's office was. She poked at a mans back. He looked like he worked here. The man turned around. For a second it looked like he lost his breath. He held his hand on his chest and seemed shocked. His deep brown eyes and his dark blond hair reminded her of someone. Booth? This man was maybe in his twenty's. Tall, handsome. But he did clearly not work here. He looked quite lost.
"Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for the special agent's office's. You have any idea where..." Christine said to him.
"Oh god, I thought you were..." He said.
"God isn't here"
"You just remind me of someone"
"Really? Who?" Christine asked curiously.
"Just... no one, just a friend"
"You're lying" Christine, like her father, was an expert to see if someone lied.
"You asked me something?"
"Where do I find the special agents office?"
"Fifth floor, I'm going there as well."
A man stood by the elevators. He told them that the elevator didn't work as they should. Christine shrugged and went for the stairs. The man followed her. He watched her carefully. She reminded him so much of his fathers ex. He hadn't seen her for fifteen years, so he could just be mixing faces.
"What's your errands?" The man asked Christine.
"Returning this" She showed the man the bracelet that she wore around her wrist. The man's heart stopped for a second. "Where did you get that?" He asked
"A guy lost in at a friend's place, I just wanted to return it to him"
"Who?"
"Some Agent Booth" Christine replied.
"Really? He is my father"
"What's your name?"
"Parker... Booth"
"Hm, cool. I didn't know he had kids, or you a definitely not a kid anymore, but...you know what I mean."
"Yeah, well, I'm the only one he has left. His girlfriend left him..." Parker said.
"I'm sorry"
"...with his daughter"
"When?" Christine asked.
"Almost fourteen years ago" Parker replied.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up"
"It's okay"
They were up at the fifth floor. Parker lead both of them to Booth's office. They went trough offices and interrogation rooms. All this fascinated Christine. She had never been up here, but Parker, on the contrary, had been here to many times. They reached Booth's office and knocked at the glass door.
Booth didn't hear the knock first. He held a picture of Bones in his hand. He stood by the window with his back against Parker and Christine who now stood by the door. It knocked on the door again. He turned around and opened without even glance at the folks who stood on the other side.
"Hi dad" Parker said.
"Parker? Oh my god, weren't you in Australia with Lily?" Booth looked at him shocked. "I didn't even get a call from you that you were here. I could pick you up at the airport!"
"Dad, it's okay. Can we come in?"
"We?" Booth asked and didn't see Christine who stood behind Parker trying to get some attention. Parker stood out of her way and looked at her. Christine bit her lip. She took of the bracelet and held it out. "You lost this at Hodgins' place, I just wanted to return it". Booth cached it. "Thank you" He said.
"I have to get back to The Lab. Angela is gonna kill me if she finds out I went here instead of the grocery store. An then she's gonna tell mom who is up in Chicago, and she'll take a flight down here to... I don't know. Bye" Then she went off to the stairs.
Booth and Parker didn't even catch what she said and suddenly she went off. Booth shook his head. "What did she say?"
Booth asked his son to wait inside his office while he'd to ask Christine something. He ran after her and stopped her outside the elevators.
"What?" She Christine asked.
Booth just kind of stood there. He didn't have any questions. This girl just fascinated him in a strange way.
The elevator doors opened and since Booth didn't answer her, she went inside and pressed the button that took her down.
"Hey, hey, stop" He said to her and went into the elevator. The doors closed.
"What the hell are you doing? If you have a question – ask. But don't expect to have me stand there waiting for no reason." Christine said
They were the only one in the elevator that slowly moved downwards.
Parker didn't know what was taking so long so he went out to the elevators. A security man came running by and stopped some people who were just to into one of the elevators. They were shoved away. "Did anybody go into an elevator?" The man asked. Parker and some other folks shrugged. "I saw two go inside one just a few minutes ago. What's the problem?" A woman said.
He poked at the elevators. "There are problems with them. They'll stop"
Christine didn't understand why they wasn't down in the main hall by now. She had been in this elevator for minutes. She tried to press all the buttons but nothing happened. Booth tried to help.
The felt a little bump and everything stopped.
"What's going on?" Christine asked.
Booth looked around in the little room they where in that looked like a silver box. "I think the elevator is stuck."
Da da da dum! Kidding. Just felt I wanted to stop there.
Please review :)
