-Chapter Thirteen-
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Special Agent Charlie Burns asked Booth as they stood outside of interrogation.
"Yeah. I'm sure." Booth answered before entering the room and slamming the door shut.
-
Booth spent the first forty-five minutes just staring at Ortez and the next half hour glaring at him.
"You're glare does not bother me." Ortez commented, glaring back at Booth.
Booth remained silent.
Ortez sighed. "You know, you should really get your facts straight. I didn't kill Rebecca."
"No, you didn't." Booth agreed. "But one of your men did."
"Ah yes. Mena. Didn't Dr. Brennan kill him?" He looked around the room and smirked. "Where is Dr. Brennan?"
Booth was silent again.
"Oh yeah! She's fled. Took your son, Parker, is it? And little baby Em…" Booth cut him off with a punch to the face.
"That is harassment!" Ortez yelled as he touched his lip, scowling when he saw that his finger had blood on it.
"Charlie, did you see anything?" Booth said, never breaking eye contact with Ortez.
"Not a thing Agent Booth." Charlie's voice came over the intercom.
"That's what I thought." He turned his full attention back to Ortez. "Don't you ever mention their names. Comprende?" He asked darkly.
Ortez growled as a response.
"Good."

Daphne Finn quietly closed the front door and entered her house, her nine month old daughter Mila asleep against her shoulder.
"Johnny, make sure you do your homework." She said quietly to her son.
"Ok." He answered and reluctantly walked into the kitchen.
Daphne walked upstairs and laid Mila down in her crib, switched on the monitor and descended down the stairs to start dinner.
"Mother? I need help with this math homework." Johnny said and his mother made her was over to the table.
"What's the problem?" She asked, and Johnny pointed to an equation on the piece of paper. "Ah." Daphne got up and walked over to a jar of marbles on the counter. "If you have four marbles," she pulled out four marbles, "and you add four more and than four again," she took out eight more marbles, "how many marbles do you have?" She walked back over to the table and set the handful down.
Johnny counted the marbles and wrote something down on his paper.
"What'd you get?"
"12." He replied with a grin.
Daphne smiled and ruffled his hair before heading back to the stove.
-
Hours later, with little information gained, Booth was forced to let Ortez walk.
"I will get you. Another time, another day, I will get you." Booth whispered in Ortez's ear before opening the door to interrogation.
"I'll be waiting." He taunted back. He walked a few steps before stopping and turning around. An evil grin on his face.
"It's a shame that Rebecca died. She was a beautiful woman."
That was the last straw that Booth had with Ortez. He punched him in the mouth and the other man fell to the ground. Booth continued his punching until Agent Burns and Sanders pulled him off of a now quite bloody Ortez.
"That's enough Booth!" Burns yelled as he threw Booth against the wall. "Go take a walk!"
Seeley fixed his tie and stormed to his office.
--
"Can I help?" Johnny asked as Daphne finished loading up the dishwasher.
"We'll see." She answered. Johnny pouted and she gave them a stern look.
"Ok. Fine."
"Why don't you go get ready for bed?"
Johnny nodded and left the kitchen, climbing the stairs.
Daphne dried her hands and walked into the living room. She grabbed her video camera, set it up on the mantle across from the couch, turned it on and walked over to the couch.
She took a deep breath before speaking.

A/N: Hmmm…What's she going to say? Please review! I'm going on vacation, hopefully I'll be able to write more. Hopefully is the key word here… Sorry this is so short! You all cannot imagine how bad I feel for making these 'chapters' so short. I try to make them as long as I can, but because I bounce around so much, it's very difficult.
