After Booth Finished Questioning Nicole:

Booth walked out the room after getting all the details from Nicole McKnight. She had made a plea that if she told him everything, then she would only get parole and no jail time, but he wasn't that sad for her that he would make that deal. In the end, Nicole had folded and told him everything. It seemed like she was more than happy to rat out her husband.

Now by the looks of it, he would be throwing the bad guy in jail very soon. He blew a deep breath out and walked down the blank hall. He stopped in front of the door that held Luke behind it.

'This is for Bones.' He thought. Though not only was it for Bones, but it was also for Emma and Maddie too. Luckily though, there had not been anymore victims that he or the investigation knew about.

He took in another deep breath before letting go and then straightening himself up. Loosing his grip right now would not be a good thing, not when he was so close to finishing up the case and throwing the guy in jail. Booth rested his hand on the knob before slowly turning it.

There inside the small room Luke McKnight was sitting in his chair and glaring at the two-way mirror across from him. It was if he was willing the mirror to break and make his escape out of there. When he heard the 'click' the door made of when Booth entered the room, Luke broke his glare at the mirror to turn to the intruder.

"Well, look who's here. Another Special Agent." His voice was sharp, sharp enough to cut through the tension in the air.

Booth made a sound that between a grunt and cruel laugh as he took his seat in front of the suspect. "Ah. Luke McKnight." He rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward. "Do you know why you're here today Mr. McKnight?" he asked.

Sensing that the FBI agent was trying to intimidate him, Luke copied Booth's movements by resting his elbows on the table and leaning forward in his chair. "No, but I bet you're just waiting to tell me." He tilted his head a little to left. "Aren't you?" His lips then curved up into a deadly smile.

Luke watched as the agent clench his jaw and release it. Obviously he had angered him, but seeing that just made his smile bigger.

"You killed an innocent little girl and abused two other girls," said Booth in a hard voice that showed he wasn't messing around.

The suspect just raise an eyebrow. "Really? Now why would you suspect that?"

This time it was Booth's turn to give him a sadistic smile. "I was just with your wife and she... Well, let's just say she gave you up."

That had caught Luke off guard. "What? You think that you can trick me like that? I didn't do anything and my wife knows it. Just let me talk to Nicole and get everything straight." His smile, if you could call it a smile, dropped off his face and you could see the evil in his eyes.

"Why? So you could go beat her up? Smack her around a little? Like with -" He pulled out the pictures that he had put in front of Nicole. "Maddie, Emma, and Temperance?" With each name he placed their photo in front of him.

His eyes were glued to each photo and he couldn't tear them away from the pictures. Booth noticed this and smiled. 'So close to getting him,' he thought. 'Just a little push more.'

There was a moment for Booth to examine him. "Interesting. Isn't it?" he asked.

Luke raised his eyes to match Booth's. "They deserved it. All of them. The first -" He pointed Brennan's picture. "She got away. Grandfather took her. The second, was an accident. She escaped her room so I had to stop her somehow. And the vase was a good idea. For the third, I wasn't going to make any mistakes, I shut her in the basement in my shop. No one would hear her cry, but unfortunately for me, you guys found her."

"Why?" asked Booth.

Luke shot him a confused look. "Why what? Why hit them?"

"Yeah. Why do you hit them? Is for entertainment or do you just get off on causing pain to little girls?" Even though Booth just wanted to throw him in jail for the rest of his life, he couldn't help but think. Why would someone do this.

Luke just laughed at his theories. "No. That's why you think I hit them? That's not even close."

Booth narrowed his eyes. "Then why? Why hurt innocent little girls?"

"Because, it's a great way to get your frustrations out."

Booth had to use his every will to not jump up and throw the man up against the wall and beat him to death. "That's it? Just to get your frustration out."

Luke said nothing, but just nodded to answer the question.

Booth nodded, not believing what he just heard. He stood up slowly and took a couple steps to the door before stopping and turning back toward the cold-blooded killer. Then before Luke even had time to blink, a fist came at his face and he had no time to dodge it.

He heard a crack and fell to the ground, while holding onto his nose. Blood was pouring out and Luke groaned as leaned back against the wall. "You broke my nose!" he yelled up at Booth.

Booth just smirked at him. "Look at the bright side, I got my frustration out." With his last final words, he sauntered out the room with a smile on his face. Happy that the case was finished and over with.

House's Office:

House limped into his office to find all his ducklings waiting for him at the table. "God!" That had gotten their attention. "People can be so stupid sometimes."

Foreman rolled his eyes at that statement. "Can I assume that you just saw a patient?"

"Why assume? It's definite."

"Is there a reason why I was paged?" asked Cameron.

"Why of course. We must talk about our patient," he answered.

"She's fine. No headaches or anything. I was just with her."

House stood next to the board and looked at his team. "That's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the fact that our patient mysteriously disappeared yesterday evening and then magically reappear late last night." He was pleased when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.

Before any of them could say anything, House continued. "Oh. Don't look so shocked. You didn't think that you could keep this from me, did you?" he said with a smirk.

"H-how did you find out?" asked Cameron.

"A better question is why did you think you can hide this from me. I know everything that goes on in this hospital. I am the ruler." With his last statement he spread his arms out in the air.

Chase, Cameron, and Foreman watched in amusement as House quickly put his arms back down. "If your the ruler, then what about Cuddy?" Chase asked.

House silently thought for a little bit before answering. "Well, I'm the King and Cuddy is my Queen of course. Duh!"

"But, I have more power." Cuddy walked into room with a smile on her face.

"What? I am King. Which means that I am the chief ruler, which therefore means that I have more power then the Queen," House explained with a smug smile.

Cuddy just raised one eyebrow at him. "Yeah, well, I have the power to make you sleep on the couch tonight. So you better watch what you say." She finished a teasing smile then turned toward the ducklings.

All three doctors were staring at Cuddy with their mouth's open and a shock expression on their faces. There was a short uncomfortable moment where all of them just looked at each other. Foreman was the first to break the silence.

"You two live together?" he asked.

Cuddy's smile just widen at the question. "Yes. Of course."

"Wait. You two are together?" This time it was Chase who asked the question.

"We better be, if we're living together," answered Cuddy. She was having a fun time breaking the news to the doctors and watching their reactions.

Cameron then spoke up. "Wow. That I wasn't really expecting." There was a short pause. "But I get it," she finished with a smile.

"How do you get it? Because I didn't see this coming," asked Foreman.

She just rolled her eyes. "It was kind of obvious. The sexual tension around them was just overwhelming. Like it is with Tempe and Booth, except they aren't together. Yet." Cameron then sent a slight wink at Chase.

Both Cuddy and House saw the wink toward Chase but just ignored it. At least Cuddy did. "Speaking of Dr. Brennan, I was just wondering how the treatment is going."

"I think the treatment is working. She hasn't complained about any symptoms and seems to be getting better."

"You think?" asked House.

Cameron just glared at House. "Fine. The treatment is definitely working."

House just smiled in satisfaction and gave Cuddy a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Emma's Room:

Brennan was lying next to Emma on the bed and they were just talking. Emma was convinced that Tempe was her angel and was getting very attached to her. Every once in a while, Brennan would start coughing then slowly the coughing fit would go away.

She had started coughing a little bit after Booth had gone to the FBI building, leaving her with the two Baxter's. Each time she would start coughing, Mark would send her a concerned glance but she would just send him a reassuring smile.

Her present coughing fit was ending and seeing the look that was on Mark's face, she brought up a different topic. "So Mark, what are you thinking about doing now? You found Emma, but I'm a bit concerned that the system won't let you take her."

His face scrunched up in a frown. "What do you mean? I'm of age, aren't I?"

"Well, yes, but how are you going to take care of her? I thought you wanted to go to school to become a Forensic Anthropologist."

Mark scratched the side of his head. "I do want too, but I can get a job for a while before I go to school."

Brennan bit her bottom lip and thought about his situation. 'He needs someone to help out with Emma while he goes to school.' Her thoughts were broken when she started coughing again. This time however, her chest started to hurt also. She placed a hand on her chest to calm down and to stop the pain that pounding in her chest.

"Mark. Is Tempe okay?" asked Emma to her brother.

"Uh. I don't know. Should I call the nurse?" he asked in a panicked voice. He watched as her breathing become short and frantic. "I'll get the nurse," he said hurriedly. Mark ran into the hall. "Nurse! Help! Somebody help!"

"Mark!" He turned around quickly at the sound of his sister's voice. In the room he found an unconscious Dr. Brennan and a scared little girl. Mark stood in the doorway to shocked to move, but was pushed aside when doctors and nurses came filing in.

He immediately moved over to his crying little sister and scooped her up in his arms. "Shh. Everything will be fine. The doctors are here. She's going to be fine." He was not only trying to convince Emma, but he was also trying to convince himself too.

"I need paddles!" Shouted one of the doctors.

Mark backed away from the working doctors as they tried to get Brennan to breath again. He held Emma close to him and watched the scene before him.

"Charging and clear!" said the doctor.

Emma watched as Tempe's body jolted up from the charge. "Mark! He's hurting here," she cried.

He just held her closer to him. "Shh. No he's not. He's just trying to get to breath again."

"Excuse me, dear. You and your sister need to leave the room," said one of the nurses. She held a sympathetic face and she quickly ushered the children out of the room. "Please wait out here." The nurse then walked back into the room and shut the door.

Now all they could do was watch as the doctors tried to revive her.

Author's Note: Muahahaha! Luke is goin' in the slammer! :D I also didn't think that I think that I would end the chapter this way, but I guess I did. Lot's of drama. I think the story is almost done, maybe another couple chapters and that will be it. Booth caught the bad guy, but now has to go back to find out that Bones really isn't okay. That's gonna be interesting...

So I had a conversation with my sister about Stacy, House's ex, and we both agree that the only reason she annoys us is that she's House's ex. Therefore, I want to know what you think about her :D
