"What?" Booth explained. He felt his body go numb as his mind began to race. The man he had admired for years had just killed many innocent people.
Hacker laughed at Booth's shocked expression and responded, "Yep, I ran the whole show. I'm not going to bore you with the details, but yep the bombers are all with me."
"What about those who died? Did you think about that?"
"Yep, but it's for the greater good."
"You have killed dozens of people and you feel good about it?"
"Kind of. Anyway Agent Booth here is the thing; I like you so I'm not going to kill you. I am warning you though; you tell anyone about this conversation I will make your life a living hell. You know make sure you make ever see your son again, make sure you can never have a job ever again after I fire you: you know that kind of stuff. I also know about your relationship with Dr Brennan- As long as you play your part and keep quiet, you two can still be partners and date. You make one mistake or piss me off once, you are done and I will destroy you. Capiche?"
Booth spat, "Yes, Director."Hacker stepped over Booth who was beginning to lose consciousness. Booth could see him step over dead agents with no expression of remorse on his face. Through the corner of his eye, Booth could hear firefighters approaching. For a moment, he hoped that this was all a dream and that he would wake up. He would still be in his office waiting for 7 to come so he could go home to his girlfriend. The last thing Booth saw before he saw was a bright light shinning from above him.
A few hours later, Booth woke with a start. He blinked as he looked around the room. Brennan was sitting in a chair next to him smiling.
"What happened?"Booth muttered.
"There was a bombing at the FBI building. 103 people were killed. Sweets is alive and is doing well - he's very strong. Don't tell him I said that,"Brennan stated. Booth chucked, but was met with pain from his stomach.
"Parker was here earlier, but he got very tired waiting for his father and fell asleep. Your brother took him home. Angela and Hodgins went to go get coffee and should be back soon."
"Hacker..."Booth spoke. His mind began to fill with the conversation that he had with Hacker. Booth knew he couldn't just ignore it, but worried about Hacker's threat. He gasped and said, "Did Hacker come by?"
"Hacker, um yes. He came by about an hour after you were admitted. It was so nice that he saved you."
Booth's eyes widened. Booth wanted to immediately correct Brennan, but before he could a knock came from the door. Hacker entered and approached Booth's bed. Brennan smiled at Hacker, oblivious to Booth's cold hard stare into Hacker.
"I just wanted to make sure that Seeley is ok. He was the only survivor on that floor."
"Thank god, you were there," Brennan replied.
"Thank you, I must be going. The police need to get my statement. Agent Booth, the police will up to get your statement about what happened in about an hour. Sound good? "Hacker asked. He gave Booth a threatening look. Booth swallowed and nodded. If Booth didn't give a statement very similar to Hacker's, he would be screwed.
Hacker nodded to Brennan and swiftly left the room. Brennan kissed Booth on the forehead and held his hand. Booth stared towards the door feeling very lost and confused. He had become Hacker's pet- if he didn't do what Hacker said, he would lose everything.
