I'm sorry this took so long. I had a momentary inspiration lapse. (aka musie abandoned me)

"Ryan." Booth answered.

"Hey you." Bones replied.

"Hey back, how'd it go? Did you all get in?" he asked.

"Yep, Zack's my assistant, I'm the head forensic, Ange is Zig's assistant, Jack's got a job as an entomologist. He's not quite an assistant, not quite the head hauncho. But he's on my team, so all should work out. What about you?" Bones asked quickly.

"You're gonna love this. I'll tell you when I see you." He said mischievously.

"B- Ryyyyaaannnn. Come on, that's not fair." She pouted. He could see her begging through the phone.

"See ya at home, babe." he hung up.

"How rude." She thought with a chuckle. Walking back to her team, they all set off in separate directions. The idea was that they would arrive at the apartment building, use different entrances, and split up to throw off anybody tailing them. Zack had Parker with him.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Half an hour later, back at home.

"Dad!" Brennan yelled, running through the door to his apartment. "DAD!"

"What is it Tempe?" Max asked, emerging from the back bedroom.

"There is a man out on the streets asking around for you. I don't think we were followed because we spit up, but still, you should be careful!" Brennan explained.

"The Company must be closing in on us. As soon as Booth gets home, I want the two of you to go down to Foogles and warn Cullen. How soon are you going to be able to get your hands on the Epps file?" Max asked.

"Even better, we've got a body!" Hodgins exclaimed as he entered the apartment with Angela behind him. "The body of a one Frank Epps is being shipped here, arriving tomorrow. It will be our first case." He finished, grinning madly.

"But- how?" Brennan asked, dumbfounded.

"Eh. We're guessing Cullen had something to do with it." Angela said. "Let's celebrate with vodka!"

"Is that wise with a six year old?" Zack asked, entering with Parker and Angel behind him.

"Auntie Angela, what's voka?" Parker asked, skipping up to Angela. The artist shot a glance at Brennan that clearly said 'Help!'.

"Well, sweetie, um... Let's go over to our place and play 'Go fish'!" Angela said cheerily.

"Ok!" Parker said enthusiastically, grabbing her hand and dragging her down the hall. Hodgins chuckled before following slowly.

"Rule number one when raising a child, learn avoidance."

They were all gathered around the counter in Jack and Angela's apartment, now dubbed HQ because it was right in the middle of everyone else's place. It was also where they hung out, planned, watched movies, etc.

Everyone was chomping down on milk and cookies when Booth's quietly opened the door. He observed his misfit family with a smile.

Parker was trying to show Bones the 'proper' way to dunk a cookie in her glass of milk. He was sitting on her lap, and was getting more milk on the two of them than on the cookie. Both were laughing hard, and Angel, who sat under them, seemed to be waiting for someone to drop a cookie.

Jack and Zack were huddled in a corner, hiding something from view. They kept glancing at Angela, and then back at their experiment. Every once and a while, the thing they were hiding would let out a loud 'pop!'.

Ziggy and Max were deep in discussion about one thing or another, and were gesturing madly to prove a point. The discussion was getting louder and louder by the minute, and Angel was glancing back and forth, back and forth between them as if watching an intense tennis match.

Unfortunately for Booth, Angela had just noticed him.

"BOOTH!!" She squealed loudly. "How'd it go?" Booth put his hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels as everyone whipped around to stare at him. He grinned shyly.

"Special Agent Seeley Ryan is now the liaison between the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et de Medecine Legale and the Montreal Police Squad." Booth stated.

"You're kidding!?" Brennan exclaimed, shifting Parker slightly in her lap.

"Nope. See Bones? Even up here they can't split us up!" Booth said with a grin.

"Booth." Max cut in. "You and Tempe need to go down to Foogles to warn Cullen. The Company knows we are in Montreal." Booth nodded, and then glanced over at Bones, who nodded as well. The partners got up and were out the door before anyone could argue

. Once in the deserted hallway, Booth grabbed Brennan by the shoulders, shoved her up against the wall, and kissed her senseless. After a few minutes he broke away, and Brennan's legs gave out.

"Woah, Bones. You ok?" He asked, concerned. She nodded mutely and then leaned against the wall for support.

"So you missed me?" She asked with a smile.

"You have no idea."

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Ten minutes later they were in the back room of Foogles, dialing Wong Foo's. Syd picked up on the third ring.

"Wong Foo's."

"Haya Syd. We have a message for Cullen." Booth said.

"Hey Booth. I have one for you too."

"Shoot."

"Cullen wants me to tell you that they have tabs on the leaders of the Company. He says to lay low, and wants to remind the Bone lady not to shoot anyone." Syd finished.

"Oh, thanks Syd. I don't shoot THAT many people!" Brennan exclaimed.

"Our message for Cullen is: We got his present, and The Company knows we are in Montreal."

"That it?" Syd asked.

"Yep."

"Good luck G-man, Bone lady." He hung up.
