Jack fell asleep resting his head in his arms against the window and was awakened the next morning by Mrs. Addy loudly opening the door and telling him to get ready for school. Jack sighed and put on the clothes she had left out for him, a blue striped shirt and jeans. He ran the brush through his mass of curls and walked out into the kitchen.
Mrs. Addy handed him a brown paper bag that he supposed housed his lunch. Not willing to show any emotion he allowed himself to be steered toward the bus stop. Already there were 3 of 4 other kids but they paid him no mind. He was fine with that. He didn't dare risk saying anything about not being the Addy's son and when the bus pulled up he ran on and took a seat on the side farthest away from the sidewalk where Mr. Addy stood waving with the other parents.
He sat in silence trying to hold back the hysterics that were threatening to take over his body until the next stop. A few more kids got on and looking around he realized the only open seat left was the one next to him. The last stop had only one boy who got on and took the only available seat next to Jack.
"Hi," He said cheerfully. "Are you new here I haven't seen you around before."
Jack was taken aback by his friendliness after so much hatred "Yeah I'm new, My name's Jack-" He almost said Hodgins but he knew that would not end well, and he was not willing to say Jack Addy so he gave no last name.
"Hi Jack" the other boy said smiling and showing no sign of wondering what had made him stop short of giving a last name. "I'm Parker."

Angela woke up in her bed with no memory of getting there. The last thing she remembered was wishing Jack would come back. With any luck it was all a dream, but when she got back down stairs and saw the look on her parents' faces she knew it was real.
It all seemed so much longer ago than yesterday. She got herself a bowel of cereal and asked,
"Is there any news?" Her father sighed and put down his newspaper. He leaned across the table and said as gently as he could,
"Honey, you know the people who took him, and… I'm sure they won't do anything to hurt him, but… Angela sweetie you have to understand that Jack was kidnapped and sometimes, these things don't have a happy ending." He stroked her cheek "Ang, honey we were talking to Mr. Booth and–" He paused for a minute and took a deep breath "Baby you have to get used to the idea that Jack might not come back.
Angela, who had been looking at her father in confusion, suddenly felt her face grow hot from anger and fear.
"Daddy," She said slowly and shakily "YOU'RE WRONG!!" She screamed and ran up to her room. She grabbed her purple back pack and ran out to the bus. She saw Tempe and booth and from the look on their faces she knew a similar occurrence had happened in each of their households. The bus pulled up and they took their usual seats. At the next stop only cam and Sully got on. Zach was nowhere to be found and Angela assumed he was staying home. They were still not speaking about the incident last winter and took separate seats.
Cam sat behind Tempe and Angela and whispered
"Guys, you'll never guess!! Sully's moving away!"
Tempe perked up "Wow that's, that's great." She said quickly losing her enthusiasm.
"What's wrong" Cam asked "And where's Jack and Zach." Angela burst into tears and Tempe explained as best as she could. By the time she finished Cam looked as horrified as Tempe felt.
"Oh my God. That is- Oh my God. I'm so sorry I had no idea." She was quiet for a minute before asking, "How is Zach holding up?"
Angela had stopped crying and said "We don't know; he's not here."
Cam patted her shoulder and slid across the isle to tell Booth her news.
