Hodgins arrives at the hospital and in no time picks up Booth. They tell the doctors that Booth needs to visit a sick relative, but he will return.
"Well Booth here we go again. Another adventure in my toy car"
"You've still got that thing? Why don't you upgrade?"
"Hey I like my toy car thank you. How are we going to fit the chair in my car though?"
"I don't care if I have to use cructhes. We need to get there now!"
While Booth and Hodgins are racing to the scene, Brennan is face to face with James Hanson the person who killed Laura Bendale.
"Why did you do it?"
"You really think I would stand for a woman running this country. Of course not it would destory everything my ancestors have stood for. Jason got in the way and he needed to be taken out besides this would be the perfect opportunity to remove a few other obstacles"
"Did they help you kill her too?"
"They were there but they never touched her. Samuel here tried to blow my cover, but he now knows that if I go down he goes with me."
"I never wanted anything to do with this. When I was a teen I was left out on the streets and I found James and he took me in. He raised me and helped me to stand on my own feet. Then he had the brillant idea of completing the family history of making sure that women never rule high! So he adopted a son who could be trained as an FBI agent to see that things worked out as we wanted. He forced me to do this"
"Jordan?"
"I'm sorry Tempe, I didn't want things to end like this, but he's taken care of me and I have to repay him back"
Back in Hodgins toy car Booth recieves a phone call from another FBI agent saying that Williams gave them the wrong address, but they recieved a tip from witness as to where they might be. Booth tells Hodgins of the update and they immedately switch courses. Brennan tries to stall them killing her for a few more minutes hoping someone will arive in time to help her.
"Why do you think women can't have a high rule in society. We are perfectly capable of doing just as much as a guy can. Maybe in some cases even more"
"It's man's work plane and simple"
Jordan and Samuel both understand what Tempe is saying and deep down they agree but they know they can't disobey James or they won't live.
"I took what Sam knew about Tubackqunok and used it on Laura back at Fort Camotapila. We fed the posion to her and put her in the crate to be shipped to DC. I think I made the point quite clear that no woman shall run this great country of mine"
"If you knew this great country the way you say you do you would know that everyone has a right to be what they wish, but you denied Laura that freedom because she's a girl? That's sick and how racist you son of btch."
"Enough talk kill her now!"
The guys were about to pull the trigger when the doors flew open with Booth going at 30mph on his wheelchair.
"Everyone drop the guns now!"
"Well agent Booth how nice we set our trap for an anthropologist and we get an FBI agent as well. Two for the price of one. Kill them both"
Samuel has had enough and drops his gun to floor.
"No"
"What did you day dearest brohter of mine?"
"I said No I have had enough of these sick plots of yours. Tempe is a good respectable woman and her partner is a man who respects everything this country stands for. So if you're going to kill them then you need to shoot me too."
Sam walks over towards Brennan and Booth without the gun. Jordan does the same thing.
"Jordan how dare you defy me!"
"This is wrong and you know it! Besides these two are quite a pair and it's sick people like you who want to destory the things that make America so great"
"Fine then you'll all die together. let's see who should go first? Well I guess I should use my manners when I say 'ladies first'"
James is about to pull the trigger on Brennan but just as he fired Jordan steps in and gets the bullets and falls down. Brennan grabs Jordan as he falls and looks up at James.
"Well not the order I was planning on but still one down 3 to go!"
Brennan stands up is about to go all martial arts on his a, then about 12 FBI agents come out of no where. james realizes he has been beat and lowers his weapons but gives Tempe the most hateful look in the world. The agents cuff James and ascort him out but as he leaves he looks at Brennan and says "This isn't over Temperance!" mean while Jordan is rushed to the hosiptal. He is dying and there is no way to save him. The doctors inform everyone that he'll be leaving soon but if anyone has last words for him to say so now. Brennan requests to speak to him quickly, but privatley. She walks into his room and there he is with such a cold look on his face.
"Thank you for what you did"
"You're such an amazing person Tempe I only wish I'd realized that sooner. I never wanted involved in this to begin with but he forced me."
"I understand but at least in the end you did the right thing"
Jordan feels pain coming up from his feet and it's making it's way to his head.
"I hope you and Booth have a good life together and he treats you right"
"He will thank you"
Brennan kisses him on the forehead and looks up at the screen. It's a flat line. Jordan is gone. Brennan walks out of the room to see the other guys and she nods her head.
"Samuel thank you for what you did. I hope though you do realize you will still have to do some time for your involvement"
"Temperance I understand that and I'm prepared to face what judgement is head for me. Just knowing that justice has been done is enough for me. Thanks for helping me to see that"
"Your welcome"
Hodgins and Brennan take Booth back to his room, while another agent picks up Samuel. Hodgins returns to the lab, but Brennan stays with Booth.
"Unbelieveable this whole thing was basically a matter of blackmail and difference of opinion"
"How true Bones. James took what Sam knew about Tubackqunok to kill Laura because of his difference in opinion. Then he adopted Jordan and forced him into the FBI to spy on the case pretty much to see what we found out"
Brennan is silent for a moment.
"Oh Bones, I'm just glad you're safe."
"I love you Seeley"
"I love you too Tempe"
They kiss and Brennan lays against his shoulders with him holding her as they lay quite for the rest of the evening.
THE END
One thing I wanted to make clear-The characters James, Jason, and Samuel Hanson are in no relation to Hart Hanson. They were random names I picked out and didn't realize until recently that they had the same last names as the creator of Bones! Hope you all enjoyed it!
