And so we continue with the long journey through the minds of others as they interact with Booth and Brennan. This is the second episode in the Gormogon series and the thoughts on our favorite couple come from her brother Russ. Enjoy


3.8 – The Knight on the Grid – Russ Brennan

I got a message from Dad saying that Haley was sick and wanted to see me, I had to go to Agent Booth's office at the FBI to see her. According to dad, Booth wouldn't arrest me for breaking my parole. I was skeptical but if Haley needed me I would go, so I packed up and made my way to D.C.

Of course, dad was lying and Booth did arrest me as soon as I stepped into his office. Tempe was there and originally I thought that she was the one that had told dad that Booth wouldn't arrest me. After thinking about it I realized that she wouldn't do something like that, it is a classic dad move however. What surprised me was that Booth took me to the hospital to see Haley, allowing me to see her for fifteen minutes before he took me to the courthouse, to schedule a parole hearing.

I couldn't figure out why Booth would do that until I saw Tempe kiss his cheek. He did it for her, all for her. His goal is to protect her, do everything to make her happy. Of course, dad and I aren't making easy when he has to arrest both of us. Still he tries to make her happy no matter what, even if it means taking me to the hospital risking his job to make her happy.

Then at the parole hearing, I learned the extent that he would go to for my sister. He got their therapist to guarantee that I wouldn't leave the area, and the Arch Bishop of D.C. would be taking an increased interest in my case. I'm fairly certain that he even talked to the parole officer and talked her into a limited time in jail and added time to my parole instead for me. He didn't speak personally at the hearing but everything he did for me was really for her.

The threat he delivered to me as he walked me to the marshals was serious. If I hurt my sister, again he wouldn't hesitate to follow through on that threat in ways I haven't imagined. But he did it all for Tempe, my girls, and I were only a side benefit to him making my sister happy.
