AN: I don't own Bones. I hope you like Chapter 6, Enjoy!

CHAPTER SIX- The CEO, The Will and The Cause of Death

"So what do you think Caroline wants?" Booth asks as we drive along the busy main roads of DC in my blue Toyota Prius.

I shrug as I slightly move the wheel to the right so I could overtake a very slow driver who ironically had the number plate SPEED01.

"I have no idea Booth," I reply truthfully as I pull the car over into the 'FBI only' car park. "It must have something to do with both of us though considering that she told us to both meet her in her office"

Booth nods "It must be about the investigation, you know about Rebecca" he replies.

I nod "I hope so Booth…" I reply but I still had a bad feeling about this, I know I don't really believe in gut feelings or fate but even with this significant lack of evidence I had a feeling that this would concern Parker not just Rebecca.

"Booth, Brennan I see you got my message" Caroline announces in her strong New Orleans accent as we step into her office hand in hand.

"Keep your hands to yourselves" she cries glancing disgustedly at us "It's not high school time Agent Booth, it's adult time now and we have a very serious issue at hand here"

I watch as Caroline motions towards an older lady with a grey bun and a pointed nose. The lady walks in glancing at Booth disapprovingly with her ice-cold blue eyes.

"This Cherie, is Mallory Brookson, she is a child safety executive who is looking into the Parker Booth case and his living arrangements" Caroline says.

I glance over at her and extend my hand "Dr Temperance Brennan, world-renowned Forensic Anthropologist" I say.

She just ignores my hand and turns to face Booth "I have some issues with your son's current living arrangement" she announces in a snobby manner.

Booth looks at me worriedly "What's the problem with the way that he is living now?" he asks.

The executive looks at us "Pfft, what isn't the problem" she mocks "You don't have legal custody of Parker, not at all"

Booth looks like he wants to whack the woman in the face so I grip his hand tightly and slowly rub his back with my other hand in an attempt to calm him down. "

Why doesn't Booth have legal custody, he is Parker's biological father?" I ask.

Mallory Brookson just shakes her head again "And who may you be Missy?" she asks me.

I shake my head; I had just told the woman who I was. "I'm Dr Temperance Brennan," I say yet again "And I am Seeley Booth's partner, associate and wife"

Mallory nods "So back to the issue at hand here," she begins "Seeley doesn't have legal custody because Rebecca didn't record his name down on her will, she said that if she died when Parker was still young her best friend Eveleen Lawrence would take all custody"

Booth glances over at the executive clearly astonished "So what your saying is my son, my own flesh and blood, is to be cared for by this Eva woman" he cries

"Eveleen" Mallory corrects "And yes, I am responsible for child custody and the law is the law"

"Oh Booth I'm so sorry" I cry as I gently stroke his shoulder.

We were driving home in my Prius because we had to talk to Sweets and Parker about the new issue that had been unearthed.

Booth nods "This woman isn't getting my son, he's my boy and he belongs solely to me and to you" he cries as he turns on the indicator.

I nod "So are you going to fight the laws now or something?" I ask.

Booth nods "I don't care if it kills me Parker is my little boy and he's staying with us"

I nod "I am willing to help you in any way possible"

Booth nods and strokes my face with his hand "I love you Bones, you're the best wife ever"

"What Booth, restart, she said what about Parker?!" Sweets cries almost spitting his pomegranate juice in our faces.

"Well this morning I got a text when I was still in bed" I begin "It was from Caroline, she said for Booth and I to meet her in her office before work this morning"

Sweets nods as he lays his juice glass down on the table. "What did Caroline say?" he asks.

I nod "I'm just getting to that" I reply hurriedly. "She said that Booth doesn't get custody of Parker, Rebecca's best friend does," I tell Sweets.

His eyes almost pop out of his twenty-eight year old skull. "So some woman just strolls in and says 'Oh Booth you don't get custody of your son, your biological son and then gives the poor twelve year old, that is already going through hell I may add, a foster mom" he cries.

Booth and I just nod, it was so stupid that it almost appeared to be artificial and like a practical joke.

I look at Booth; he appeared to be fighting back tears. I smile at him, I was going to get Booth custody even if it was the last thing that I'd ever did.

"Cam, I'm here," I announce as I hurry into the Jeffersonian.

I was late, something that didn't happen often. I swipe my key card so I can access the area of the Jeffersonian where Hodgins was sitting.

He looks up from his microscope and smiles at me. "Hey Dr B you'll never guess what I've found" he cries enthusiastically.

I glance over at him disapprovingly "Dr Hodgins calm down, you're beginning to sound like Miss Wick" I reply.

He blushes slightly and turns back to the bone fragment which he was analysing.

"Well yes Dr Hodgins, what was this miraculous discovery that you had to tell me about?" I ask.

Hodgins nods eagerly "I found some particulates on the remains" he says as he urges me to look into the microscope.

I lean over and take a look I think that I notice some more post-mortem damage to the fragment but I didn't really see any particulates.

I turn to Hodgins, urging for him to continue. He smiles "Yeah well, I dunno if you can see anything but I found some metal particulates and after some research I found out what type of bullet was used and then I worked out what type of gun required the bullet" he gushes.

I nod; Dr Hodgins really did do some good work.

"That is great Dr Hodgins, please tell Cam about what you've found out and also notify Miss Wick" I reply as I hurry over to Cam's office to see what she had to tell me.

"Dr Brennan it's good to see you" announces Cam who was barely looking up from her documents.

"Yes Dr Saroyan, I received a message from you early this morning, you said something about cause of death?" I ask.

She nods and removes her gloves. "Yes Miss Wick, Dr Hodgins and I were going over the remains and evidence last night after you went home" she begins "We found a lot of post mortem damage to left posterior ribs, we have already found out, with the help of Angela's computer system, that the dead body had been thrown off a balcony on the top floor of the office building"

I nod, indicating that I was listening to Cam's explanation.

"Yes, well then we discovered an almost fatal Para-mortem injury to the frontal lobe of the skull which would have been caused by a light weight, metal object we then discovered that the blow wouldn't have been enough to kill her so then we continued the search for evidence when Hodgins discovered some particulates which led us to the conclusion that the victim was shot shortly after her blow to the head, the gun shot was fatal"

I nod, the Jeffersonian team had been doing most of the work on this case without me, it was hard to help Parker and Booth at the same time as analysing remains, for the first time I put family before work.

"That sounds very efficient Cam," I say with a smile.

Someone really went to a lot of trouble to make sure that they finished off Rebecca.

AN: Hope you enjoyed that Chapter. Chapter 7 will be up soon and it will be called "I love you Mom" it will include some mother and son bonding between Bones and Parker.
