Thank you for reading my story. Believe it or not we are almost at the end of my tale. Not quite yet; but, almost.

I don't own Bones.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Alex had flown into Pueblo, Colorado with a plan. He and Agent Burt Howard were going to track down the four William Baker's that fit the profile they were working with. Since James' mother was so uncooperative about Alex's investigation and wouldn't tell them anything about William Baker or her former biker lover, Alex was certain that he was on the right path. Alex was certain that William Baker was involved in James Segura's death and he was determined to prove it.

After interviewing the first three William Bakers, Alex started to lose hope. So far, they were batting 0 for 3 and Alex was running out of suspects. Their final suspect turned out to be quite a surprise. Tracking him down, Alex and Burt found William Baker number 4 at a trailer park on the edge of town. Arriving at the residence, Alex noticed a Harley Davidson parked in the driveway.

Staring at the bike, Alex rubbed his right hand, "Don't tell me this is going to the biker boyfriend?"

Smiling, Burt replied, "And you were worried that we were running out of suspects."

Glancing around, Alex shook his head, "I'm going to knock on the door, you hang back and be prepared for anything and I mean anything."

Nodding his head, Burt stood near the bike with his gun drawn but aimed at the ground by his side while Alex walked up onto the cement steps and knocked on the door.

The door creaking open, Alex was confronted with a large tattooed man who asked, "Yeah, what do you want?"

Stepping down off of the steps, Alex held out his badge, "I'm Special Agent Sokolek, with the FBI. I need to talk to you."

Shrugging his shoulders, Baker shook his head, "I don't talk to Feds."

Starting to close the door, Alex drew his gun and aimed it at Baker number 4. "That's too bad. I'm going to have to insist that you do."

Freezing, Baker held up his left hand, "I know my rights and I'm not talking to you."

Not caring at the moment, Alex responded, "Move your hands out so I can see both of them and then get your ass down here, now. If you don't want to talk to me that's fine; but, you have to come out of the trailer now."

A little surly, Baker asked, "What's this about?"

Shaking his head, Alex insisted, "Let me see both of your hands, now."

Glaring, Baker responded, "You tell me what this is about first."

Nodding his head, Alex replied, "James Segura, now show me your hands."

Furious, Baker responded, "James was a worthless piece of shit."

Pulling his right hand from behind his back, Baker aimed his gun at Alex. Alex seeing a gun aimed at him, dropped to his right knee and yelled, "Drop the gun, now."

Shaking his head, Baker replied, "The Hell with that, I'm not going to jail.' Taking a shot, Baker tried to throw himself back behind the trailer door at the same time. Alex, shooting back, struck Baker before he could take cover behind the door.

Alex seeing Baker go down, moved back a ways and waited to see what would happen. Watching Baker's legs, Alex didn't see any movement. Burt, walking quickly over to where Alex was crouched, squatted down beside him.

Alex, staring at Baker's unmoving legs, glanced at Burt, "I'm going to go around back and see if I can get into the trailer from there. Maybe I'll be able to see him from down the hallway."

Nodding his head, Burt remained in a crouched position and watched the door and Bakers' legs. Alex, moving quietly, walked around the trailer to the back and found a door. Turning the knob, he found it unlocked. Carefully opening the door, Alex turned his head to see a bedroom to his right. Quickly looking in the room, he found it empty. The door across from the back door was open and Alex could see that it was a bathroom. Stepping quickly over to the room, Alex glanced inside to see it was empty. Holding his gun in front of him, Alex walked down the hallway and came out into the kitchen. Walking rapidly across the room, Alex entered the living room and found himself staring at Baker who was slumped on the floor, holding his chest and breathing hard.

Walking rapidly across the room, Alex kicked the gun Baker held loosely in his hand away. Leaning over Baker, Alex asked, "Why didn't you just give up?"

Breathing hard, Baker replied, "I'm not sitting on death row for that kid. This is Gladys' fault. She told me he took it. The bitch lied to me. I blame her. It was . . ."

Breathing short gasps, Baker's eyes filled with terror and then he died.

Shaking his head, Alex called out, "Burt, it's ok. You can come in."

Burt, moving up the steps, leaned over and pushed Baker's legs back and then stepped into the room.

Shaking his head, Burt walked over to the door on the right side of the living room and opened it. Finding the room empty, Burt holstered his gun. "Did he say anything?"

Nodding his head, Alex responded, "Yeah, he said he didn't want to sit on death row and he blamed James' death on James' mother."

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Arriving at Gladys Segura's house, Alex and Burt watched as Gladys answered the door. Staring at the FBI agents, Gladys asked, "What do you want? I don't have anything to tell you."

Glaring at Gladys, Alex responded, "William Baker is dead. He confessed to killing James."

Feeling the strength leave her legs, Gladys' legs buckled and she found herself on her knees. "No, no, he can't be dead. What did you do? What did you do to Billy?"

Staring at her in disbelief, Burt asked, "That's your reaction? What did we do to Billy? Not why did he kill my son?"

Crying, Gladys threw her hands over her eyes and called out, "Poor Billy. Poor Billy."

Furious, Alex reached over and grabbed Gladys' arm, "Poor Billy my ass. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney; if you can't afford one then one will be provided for your sorry ass. Now get the Hell up. You're under arrest for accessory to murder. I've had about all I can take from you."

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

So reviews would be greatly appreciated thanks.
