Back at the Booth house everyone was still congregated in the living room. Mr. Booth was on the phone with his supervisor.
"Yes we believe he was taken by Mr. and Mrs. James Addy."
Booth was sitting in front of the couch staring into the fireplace with a look of deep concentration on his face. Angela seemed to be in a trance and was sitting still as a rock. Tempe knew she must be hurting the worst of all of them. Even at 7 years old she could tell when someone was in love. Angela was not one of those girls who said they loved a different guy every week. When she cared for someone, it was serious. Tempe looked out the window and saw that it had begun to rain.
'Appropriate' she thought.

Across the city Jack looked out of the window of the small bedroom he had been locked in for the night.
'Great' he thought 'Rain!' Then as if the weather had understood his anger thunder clapped and lightning flashed. Jack was not scared of thunder but rainstorms piled on top of everything else didn't help. Remembering what his mother always said about thunder and god bowling, he started to cry.
--
Thunder clapped and everyone started. Zach clung to his father's jacket and Angela could hear muffled cries coming from his direction.
She sighed and went back to thinking what she had been thinking before the lightning startled her.
'The first time we met, Kindergarten.' She sighed remembering what he had worn. A green T-shirt with a diagram of a Japanese beadle on it and blue jeans. She never knew why no one liked the beadle. She thought they were pretty. The most beautiful shade of emerald green, like her mother's eyes. She also felt a strong connection to them because she knew she was part Japanese on her mother's side. She had decided to watch this boy and see what he was like.
But as fate would have it she was seated next to Temperance Brennan who she knew from Pre-K and their friendship grew to an almost sister like relationship. Tempe always seemed so strong and independent. She didn't need a boyfriend. So Angela had forgotten about Jack Hodgins, at least until Booth moved here and Angela had realized that Tempe fell for him. Hard.
'So,' she thought 'Why not take her lead and try. After all he's cute.' Now after getting to know Jack she realized she still felt the same way she did on the first day of kindergarten.
'He's the one for me.' So in simple childhood bliss, she had proceeded to plan their wedding. Right down to the ugly bridesmaid dresses. Now that he was in danger she worried like it was her own safety on the line. She got up and moved to the window. Looking out into the darkness she whispered,
"Jack, please come back."
--
Locked in the bedroom, Jack stared into the rain and pictured Angela's beautiful face.
"Angela," He whispered "I will come back somehow. That's a promise."
