Brennan took out the key Booth had given her less than a month before to open the door, and then remembered that it was broken down. She went into Booth's living room and saw her purse on the floor where she had left it. Walking into the hall she saw pictures on the wall. Most of them were of Parker. Parker playing football, Parker dressed up at Halloween. Parker's birthday. And so many others. Then she came across some photos that contained a family. There was a little boy in them that reminded her of Parker but on closer inspection she saw that the boy's hair was brown as were his eyes. Parker was blonde and had green eyes. She realized it was Booth in the pictures. A seven or eight year old Booth. She then looked at what she presumed was his family around him. A man stood on his right. His father? The man was an older looking version of Booth, less muscular and more weather-beaten. He had Parkers eyes. Next to him stood a thin blonde woman. She had Booths eyes and charm smile. That was definitely his mother. She had her hand on another boy's shoulder. He was taller then Booth and had sandy hair and grey/green eyes Jared. She thought. The brother he never spoke of. She looked at the background of the picture and saw a pale blue house. It looked homely. There was a tire swing hanging from a tree and there was a slide beside it. That was where Booth had grown up. Somewhere in the back of her mind she wondered why he never talked about his family. Well his family other than Parker. She continued down the hall and saw a few more pictures of the Booth family, each had the two boys being a little older. Then she came to one of Booths graduation, his parents were beside him, the next had him in his rangers uniform his father beside him looking as if he was about to burst with pride. Jared was in no more. Then she found one of Booth and the squints, she had taken it herself. It was of Booth, Angela and Hodgins laughing in "their" booth at Wong Fous while Zach sat looking on with a puzzled expression. The next was of Booth, Hodgins and Zach all in tux's before Hodgins and Angela's 'failed wedding'. Then there was one of Hodgins in his suit and Angela in her wedding dress. Then another one from the wedding of Booth and Angela dancing. They had been taken at the party afterwards. Angela had said that even though there hadn't been a wedding they shouldn't miss out on a party. There was a fair few more of the squints, well of Zach Angela and Hodgins, there was none of her and she was surprised when she felt slightly upset about it.
Brennan! She thought There are more important things going on right now! There's no time to be jealous! She left the hall and went into his office which led to his bedroom. As she made her way in the door she saw that there was a lot more pictures in here. The biggest of which was on the desk. She walked over to see who it was. It was a framed picture of him and her. It was of them singing together after a case in one of the ridiculous karaoke bars Angela had made them go to. Angela must have taken it. He had his arm around her and they were smiling. She looked around the room and looked at the other photos. She noticed that a small few were of Parker but most of them were of him and her. then she saw the ones on his wall beside the door. They were wallet size pictures of everyone. Parker, Booths mother and father, Angela, Hodgins and even Zach. She was surprised at how sentimental Booth was. Then she saw the one of her. It was bigger then the rest. She remembered when this was taken. It was at the last F.B.I. gala. Booth had asked her to go with him because all the other agents were taking their partners and he felt that even though she wasn't F.B.I. she shouldn't miss out on the fun. She was wearing her favorite emerald ball gown that Angela said brought her eyes. Booth had ambushed her with a camera and then asked her to dance. When she had reluctantly agreed, he had raced over to the D.J. and requested a song. When she asked what song it was he just said it was "their song". Then she laughed when the song started. "Hot Blooded". They had danced and laughed and it had been one of the best nights of her life. But now he was locked up for murder. What was happening? Booth was the good guy. He wouldn't kill anyone. Anymore she added silently as she remembered his sniper days. But she knew in her heart that he wouldn't do that now. She went and got some clothes for Booth. Grabbing her purse from the living room she headed over to the J Edger Hoover building.
