Chapter 13- Sleeping beauty

Booth followed Max in his car. The conversation with hadn't gone well at all.

"You're working with a criminal?" Cullen yelled. Lucikly after 5 minutes of talking and some yelling, Booth had convinced him to see his side. Booth had left the room with Cullen shaking his head. So now Booth along with 4 other agents were following Max. Every building that they passed, Booth hoped was the right one, but they passed each one. Max had not spoken to Booth since he agreed to help him. Then as they reached a large gray building Max slowed down. They'd reached their destination.

The building was extremely large, built with what seemed gray plastic. It looked like the same as every other building. The only difference was that every single door and window was boarded up. Outside were 6 people. Booth suspected they were here to help Max, as Russ was one of them. Max stopped and everyone behind followed suit.

"Russ!" Max called as he stepped out of his car. Not only did Russ walk over to him, but the rest of the people.

"We go in first, we have 1 hour, to get it and get out. Then the cavalry goes in." He said indicating to the FBI agents behind him. Booth watched as the 8 of them smashed one of the doors down. He looked at his watch. 1 hour to go.

Max walked through the door with the rest of his people following. Russ came through and joined him. The others set off down different corridors whereas Russ and Max went down the centre.

"Dad, who are we looking for besides Tempe?" Russ asked. Max looked at him. He thought that maybe Temperance would have told Russ.

"Russ. Tempe has a daughter." Russ made a chocking sound with his throat and for a few seconds he opened and closed his mouth like a fish trying to speak. He finally stuttered out.

"W…when?"

"When she was 18." Max replied. He himself had only just digested the news. Russ' mouth was wide open, then after a few minutes he shut it.

"What's her name?" Max stopped then carried on walking before replying.

"You know, I never asked." Then the corridor spilt into 2.

"You take that one," Max said to Russ pointing to the right, "Meet up at the end."

Sarah woke. She brushed some of her hair out of her face and found it wet with tears. She was still in the same room. There was a noise outside. Sarah crouched herself in a corner nearest to the where she thought the door was. She got ready to launch herself at the person who was coming. She knew that she wouldn't have much of a chance against them, but if she could just get past them. She had to help her mom. She had no idea what was happening to her mom, she just hoped she was okay.

The steps stopped outside the door. They seemed to take longer to open the door, as if they weren't used to the lock. When the door finally opened the light didn't come on. Sarah couldn't see the person. Sarah came out of her corner a bit, ready to strike. But as she was about to attack the person whispered,

"Marco." Sarah stopped it was her Mom's brother.

"Polo." She whispered happily. She was going to be alright.

"Who is it?" Russ asked into the darkness.

"Sarah." Sarah answered. Russ smiled, he'd found Tempe's daughter.

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Russ said to her. Sarah stood up and followed him out of the room.

"But what about my mom?" She asked him.

"She's coming." Was all he said.

Booth looked at his watch again. 30 minutes. The other Agents were stood around talking, but Booth was too tense. There had been no movement inside since Max and his people had gone inside. Booth wanted to know what was happening and wanted to know if Brennan was alright. But there was nothing he could do, except watch and wait.

Max carried on down his corridor alone. There was no noise except for his own steady breathing and his footsteps. There was only one door down this corridor and as he went to open it he heard footsteps. He crouched against the wall ready to attack. But then he heard.

"Dad?" It was Russ. Max breathed a sigh of relief. But then he noticed Russ was not alone.

"I found Tempe's daughter. This is Sarah." Russ said to him.

"Take her outside. I'm going in there." Max said while pointing to the door. Russ nodded and set off back to the entrance. Max opened the door and turned on the lights.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Brennan was awake. But she had no strength, not even to open her eyes. Her battered body lay where it had fallen. She was numb, which she was thankful for, because it meant she couldn't feel any pain. She heard a sound of the door opening. Then the lights came on once more. She couldn't see the lights, but it wasn't as dark behind her eyelids.

'No, he's back!' Her thoughts screamed. She struggled to open her eyes. But they wouldn't.

"Hello, sleeping beauty." She heard a voice say behind her. She was right, he was back.
