Chapter 2
AN: I caught the end of "The Boy with the Answer" about twenty minutes ago and this idea popped into my head and I rushed down to my room to type it up. Thanks to you all for being so patient. Time jump by the way. It is now a few months later, Ziva had the babies, twin girls, May 5 2010, Tony proposed about a week later. Ziva, Tony, Noam and the twins (Yochana Caitlin and Rebekah Tali) are visiting when Brennan hammers on the door. For anyone interested I am in the process of writing a new fanfic, Ari centric, nothing to do with these though.
Disclaimer: I own Emily, the plot, the twins and... NCIS! YAY! *pouts* they took it away *goes off to cry in a corner* anyway, read the author's note if you do not understand, it will explain what is going on. On with the story!
This isn't over she had said. That sentence had been playing over and over in Brennan's head for the past couple of days. It must have been when she had caught in passing on the news that Hannah Taffet had been released from prison, something about a new attorney finding inconclusive evidence?
Brennan found out just how true that statement was on rising the next morning. She walked into Emily's room, and stopped, aghast.
"BOOTH!" she screamed
He came running.
"Bones? What is it, what's wrong?" He saw the empty bed, the open curtains and the writing, in giant letters on the wall.
She is mine now.
"How did she find us here Booth? I thought you said that the FBI said that no-one knew where we were? They think we are DEAD!" She knew she was becoming hysterical but she did not care. Her daughter was missing, had been taken by that evil woman. She had a thought and turned around abruptly, almost running into Booth who was closer than she had thought.
"The neighbours," she gasped, "they might have seen something! Please Booth, we have to go ask!"
She pushed past him down the stairs and ran out the door, him following, across the street and hammered on the neighbour's door.
Eli opened it, looking disgruntled to be woken so abruptly early on a Saturday.
"What?" he growled, but then noticing the expression on Brennan's face, a mixture of fear, panic and a dawning hope, his expression changed abruptly and he opened the door wider, letting them in.
She rushed inside and went to sit on the sofa, only just noticing that it had been pulled out into a bed and the man from several months ago was lying in the middle of it, snoring. She stared at him.
Eli noticed her confusion.
"I do apologise, my future brother-in-law could sleep through an earthquake. Your pounding on the door would have had no effect what-so-ever. I will find my sister, she can deal with him better than I when he first wakes up, she is up as well, I heard the twins crying just before you knocked, she will be most likely feeding them and I believe my nephew, Noam, went with her." Brennan just nodded, not really knowing who those people were but she was in a state of shock so she did not know what else to do. Eli left her there and wandered further into the house calling out "Achoti!" as he went.
Booth walked up beside her and wrapped a comforting arm around Brennan's shoulders. She jerked slightly at the contact and then she seemed to realise where she was and sagged against him as the events of the past, could it only have been twenty minutes?, finally caught up with her. She turned in his arms and hugged him, burying her face in his chest, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. She knew she was being uncharacteristically needy but she was scared. Scared for her daughter, in the hands of that psychotic woman who was holding her G-d knows where. Would she ever see her little girl again?
Eli came back just then, carrying a baby girl, followed by the woman who could only be his sister, holding another. Brennan pushed herself away from Booth, slightly embarrassed to be caught in a moment of weakness. The woman, Ziva, sent her a sympathetic look and passed her the child she was carrying so that she could lean over and whisper something in the snoring man's ear. Whatever she said seemed to do the trick as he, in trying to get out of bed fast enough, tangled his feet in the covers and fell out of bed to land in an ungraceful heap at the woman's feet. She just laughed, shook her head and walked off, beckoning Brennan to follow her. Brennan held the baby close, the sweet weight of the child keeping her calm and she felt less like she was going to fly off the knob? Lever? than when she had first walked in.
She followed Eli's sister to the kitchen and what she said next made her freeze.
"I know who you are."
Yay cliff-hanger! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How did Ziva know? How did Hannah Taffet find them? Review to find out! If you have NO clue I suggest you read the Author's Note and if you STILL do not know this is a sequel so... go read the first one! =) Please?
Re-loaded to fix some glaring mistakes, thanks for not pointing them out guys =D Just kidding
