"Dr Brennan." He snarled. For a second she froze. She couldn't think. How had he found them. How was Roberto Ortez standing at her front door. Suddenly she came back into herself she slammed the door shut and tried to lock it as fast as she could while telling Orla what to do.
"Go get Boo… David tell him he's here and then get out the backdoor. Now Orla!"
"Emily who is that…"
"Go Orla please!" she begged. Orla gave her one last look and ran up the stairs.
Orla did as she was asked. She ran upstairs to who she thought was David. Bursting into the spare room she startled Booth.
"David Emily needs help there's someone at the door. She said he's here!" she panted.
"Oh God." Booth flew from the room, with Orla close behind him, into the library. Pulling books from the closest shelf her searched frantically.
"David what's happening?"
"Orla we'll explain everything later but I'm sure Brennan told you to get out of here. It could get dangerous." He reached into his pocket he shoved his phone at her. "Ring the number under Dad. Tell him he's found us." He found what he was looking for his gun that he had hidden in their first week living there. Orla looked at him and down at the phone. "Orla please, do it. Trust me we're the good guys!" he said running past her. Stopping at the door he turned. Go out the back door." She nodded and he left the room.
Booth flew down the stairs as fast as he could.
Meanwhile downstairs Brennan was thrown against the wall. She hadn't been able to lock the door properly before he started shoving against the door. When he got it open she was thrust against the wall by the force of the door. A sharp pain went through her as the door hit her full force in the stomach. She groaned and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes he was standing over her.
"Well look at this. I definitely wasn' expecting this!" he grinned. "Dr Brennan, pregnant. That's why Booth was so over-protective. You were taken. So he threatens me and then has the gall to kill my cousin. Well he's going to pay now isn't he, more then I'd hoped isn't he lady." He raised a gun.
"ORTEZ!" Booth shouted from the foot of the stairs. he turned quickly pointing his gun at Booth.
"Ah Booth. I was wonderin' where you were. Long time no see."
"How did you find us" Booth growled.
"I know you know about the stupid young agent that let out the main area, but I've been staying here for a while and I saw you goin' into that school. So I followed you home. This lovely home you have here. To this lovely woman." He gestured to Brennan with his head.
"Leave her out of it. She didn't do anything." he growled again.
"Well she still assaulted me. Just because you threatened to kill me doesn' change that." He grinned. "Then you killed Danni I can't let you get away with that."
Brennan groaned again as another jolt of pain shot through her. The noise she made distracted Booth, giving Ortez a change to knock his gun from his hand and hit him across the face with the butt of his own weapon. Booth hit the ground and Ortez focused his attention on Brennan again. he grinned once more then lined up his shot. She instinctively closed her eyes as he went to pull the trigger, she was still in too much pain to move. She heard the shot and opened her eyes. Booth was lying on the ground infront of her.
"NO SEELEY!!" Ortez cocked his gun again and aimed between her eyes. All of a sudden the front room window crashed in. someone had jumped through it. The person rolled and landed on their knees. Brennan couldn't believe who it was. Tina! Tina with a gun. She turned her weapon immediately on Ortez and fired, but not before he shot at her, hitting her square in the chest. Her shot got him in the head and he fell instantly.
Tina coughed and fell against the couch. Brennan rolled Booth over, ignoring her own pain. The gun shot had torn through his side and he was unconscious. She pulled out her phone and dialled for and ambulance. All the while she was watching Ortez, he was just lying in a blood pool. He was gone.
