"Booth?" Jack whispered, his anger forgotten. "Is it really you?"
Booth nodded as dumbfounded as Jack if not more so.
Jack, who suddenly realized he was safe, dissolved into tears. Booth held himself together a little longer and managed to call out "DAD, ANG, TEMPE, MRS. MONTONEGRO!! COME QUICK!!
Tempe and Angela fought their way away from the table and upon seeing Jack both dropped to the ground in tears. Angela dragged herself over to Jack and clasped her hands around his neck. "Thank you." She sobbed.
Jack smiled trough the tears. "For what?"
"For coming back."
"I keep my promises." He laughed. Parker had been staring and now walked over. "Jack he asked quietly, "Is everything ok?"
"Yes Parker, everything's great. And I have something I have wanted to tell you since the day we met. My name is Jack."
"Ok. I knew that." Parker said looking at Jack as if he were crazy.
"You didn't let me finish. My name is Jack Hodgins. Not Addy. I was kidnapped 3 days ago in front of my house. Right in front of my best friends and my little brother."
"Oh my god." Parker stood open mouthed.
"Parker, I would like to introduce you to my friends. Tempe Brennan, Seeley Booth, and" Jack paused, smiled at Angela and put his arm on her shoulders. "This is Angela Montenegro."
"Nice to meet all of you." Parker said still in a daze. "So wait a minute, you said you were KIDNAPPED!?"
"Yes. My little brother is adopted and his biological parents, they wanted to get him back. So they tried legally, but it didn't happen. And I guess they weren't happy, so they kidnapped me and tried to get my brother too. He got away, and he's ok I hope." He looked to Mr. Booth, who nodded. "Zack is naturally upset and shook up. But he'll be glad to know that you are ok."
Jack smiled and turned back to Parker. "Do you know the name of the street 2 up from yours?"
Parker thought for a minute. "Terrence court. Why?"
"Because that is the street that the Addy's live on. It's the blue one 3 in from the corner."
"Number 17." Parker said quickly. Everyone stared at him. "What? The one on the corner is number 13 and the other one is number 12 but 2 in from number 12, that would be 16 but that one is yellow, and 17 is blue. So 17." He shrugged "I have a paper route."
Tempe was nodding but she was the only one. No one else seemed to follow.
Parker turned back to Jack. "Is that why you wouldn't give a last name the day we met?"
"Yes." Jack looked away. "It made it seem too concrete, ya know like it was too real."
"I was wondering but you seemed upset and I didn't want to pry."
"Parker thanks for being my friend, I don't think I could have made it with out you."
"I would like to stay in touch, Jack." Parker said. "Maybe we could still be friends."
Jack smiled. "I'd like that too." He turned to the adults. "Can we go home now, please? I want to see my mom and dad."
Booth smiled and looked over at Parker. He liked this boy, and his name. Maybe if he ever had a son…
Jack did stay in touch with Parker. And he got a call a few weeks later.
"Jack" Parker said "There's a new boy on my bus…"
Jack smiled.
"His name is Sully."
