Booth's flight couldn't land fast enough. He hailed a cab and flashed his badge, telling the driver to go quick. When the cabbie finally pulled up to Teddy's apartment, Booth tossed whatever cash he had and ran inside. He tried the knob before pounding on Teddy's door. It was six in the morning, but he could hear the rustling around inside. It was Claire who opened the door for him, letting Booth know his wife had already called in sick to work before going back to bed. His friend was sitting at the kitchen table, finishing off his bowl of cereal.

"Hey, man. I really appreciated you guys letting Bren and Drew stay here. I didn't want her there alone."

"It's no problem. I don't think I've ever seen her so afraid."

"She wasn't afraid for herself," Claire added to their conversation, "She was worried about Andrew. She told me she didn't want anything to happen to him."

"She told you?" Booth asked. He was surprised his wife would be so open with someone that wasn't himself or Angela.

"Yeah, I'm sure if Drew hadn't been involved, she wouldn't have come over. She probably would've stayed at home."

He knew Claire was right. Bren was stubborn, but luckily, she was intelligent, too. She knew better than to stay home with Drew part of the equation. He punched Teddy in the shoulder lightly as one last sign of appreciation before heading down the hall of the small apartment to find his family. He reached the guest bedroom door and heard Drew's giggles on the other side. He cracked the door open and peeked in. She was rolling around with him in the bed, tickling him as he tried to crawl away and hide under the covers. Drew noticed his father in the doorway and stopped moving. Bren took the opportunity to grab a hold of his sides and blow a large raspberry on his stomach.

"Dad!" Drew cried out between giggles. Brennan's head snapped up and to where Drew had previously been staring. With one graceful movement that Booth almost didn't see, she scooped him up with a high level of skill and certainty and moved to hug him. She held on tight and he placed a kiss on her head.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded. "Can we get going? We have a lot of clean up to do."

"I have to call it in. We'll have it processed first, see if the tech squad can find anything that could help me find out who did it, and then we'll start cleaning up."

She nodded again. "Let's go then."

They left, bringing Teddy with them as backup. As Brennan waited in the car with Drew, the two Army veterans approached Booth and Brennan's front door wordlessly. They walked through the house with speed and ease and when they found no one, Booth went to give Bren the all clear. Booth had almost ignored the mess that had been made in their home. He first was worried about finding someone in there, but when it was safe, he couldn't ignore the elephant in the room any longer. It was a complete mess. Someone had been searching for something. Dishes were shattered, furniture was torn apart and Drew's toys were flattened. When they walked in together, it was obvious that Drew and Bren weren't home when the break in occurred. The front door was splintered; someone forced it in. But the second floor looked worse than the level below. Whatever they were looking for, they couldn't find it. Brennan's office had been hit the worse.

"What would they want with paperwork?" she mumbled, attempting to straighten out a few sheets of paper on her desk. Drew's room was left alone for the most part, and she was thankful it wouldn't need too much repair.

"While we wait for the crime scene guys, you wanna hear what I found in Ohio?" Booth asked her tentatively.

"You didn't find them, did you?"

"Not yet."

"I don't know what that means."

"It means I couldn't find them, but I think they're moving east. I think they're coming to find you and Russ."

"Why? That doesn't make sense."

"Look," he started, pulling her into their bedroom and sitting her down on the bed, "criminals like…your parents have their ways of knowing things. Maybe they heard they have a grandson. Maybe they heard you got married. Whatever it is, they want to be near you."
