Jordan and Brennan instantly begin asking Samuel questions. Jordan starts off first.
"The instructor back at the gym told us you were harrasing Laura Bendale. Is that correct?"
"Oh that's how they put it? No I never harrased her. The girl must have freaked when I tried to tell her."
"Tell her what" asked Brennan.
"There was a plot to kill Laura to prevent her from running in the election. I don't know who was behind it"
"How do you know all this then?"
"The instructor or someone at the gym no doubt told you about my practice in Tubackqunok, right?"
"Yes"
"I over heard the plans at a meeting. I practice the religon for healing purposes, not death. I was preparing to leave the hiding place. I walked past a door and over heard the conversation. The room was locked so I couldn't get in. I stood there and listened for awhile. Then I began to hear footsteps approaching the door and I left. Laura was a very kind and generous person to me I knew I had to warn her, but then I started panicing. I tried to tell her, but maybe she took it the wrong way or something. The next thing I knew I was kicked out of my gym class and forrbidden to see Laura again."
"Did you recognize any of the voices in the room?" asked Bones.
"No I didn't. I wanted to tell the police about it, but I knew they wouldn't believe me. Infact I'm not so sure you believe me right now?"
"Mr. Hanson, right now the info you are giving us seems to be suffienct. The Doctor and I will take what info you have given us and apply it to the case, thn we will decide if what you are telling us is truly factual or not."
"I'm not lying if that's what you are getting at"
Brennan then starts to ask her own questions trying to get as much out samuel as she can.
"Is there anyone who would be capable of doing this Laura. Any members of the group you think might have something to do with this?"
"None, I don't understand why someone would want to hurt her to begin with. She was such a pleasure to have around and I was so excited to see a change in our politcal world."
Betty the waitress return back with the food. Samuel prepares to leave.
"Well if there's nothing more I can do for you then I really must return to work."
"Of course I will be in contact with you frequently so I would suggest you stay close by"
"Oh believe me Agent Williams I have no intention of leaving. With has high as gas prices are I can't afford to leave if I wanted to. Never the less I'll be avaliable if you need me. Enjoy the food and goodnight to you and Dr. Brennan. By the way I love your books!"
"Thanks"
Jordan finshes his meal, then he and Brennan return back to office to discuss what theyove learned. Back at the diner Samuel returns to his office to speak with his brother, who didn't mention eariler.
"That's the last time I'm sticking up for you James!"
"Now now now, is that any way to speak to your brother?"
"If you were my brother you would end all of this now and turn yourself in before things get worse"
"Do not use that tone with me. May I remind you that if it weren't for me you would be out on the streets right now. No food, no family, nothing. Because of me you have food in your stomach and a roof over your head."
"Oh you're such saint!"
"Listen if you expect to stick around then you'd best stick with the plan got it?"
Samuel goes back downstairs to help run the diner. He slams the door as he leaves. Back at Brennan's office she and Williams continue to go over the case. Angela drops by to see how things are going.
"Hey sweeite what they say at the gym?"
"We ended up talking to a Samuel Hanson. He was apparently kicked out of the gym for harrasing Laura. However when we spoke to him he claimed he was trying to warn her of the murder before it happened."
"So was he a member of that cult or whatever it is?"
"Yes. He said he overheard the plans and tried to warn her about it, but she took it wrong."
"Wait a moment...oh my go something just hit me."
"What is it Ange"
"Did you say his last name is Hanson?"
"Yes"
"I wondering if he's related to Jason Hanson. He was Laura campaign manager. Maybe he knows something."
"Jordan think you can arrange an appointment with him?"
"Sure just let me make a few phone calls"
Jordan picks up his cell and starts dialing numbers. While he makes the calls, Brennan realizes that Samuel never mention Jason or any other relatives during the talk. She thinks maybe there's more than what he told them.
