Thanks for the reviews.

Max and Booth signed the required papers to get Booth released from the hospital. Once that was done, Hodgins and his hired EMT's came and got Booth and brought him to their ambulance. It was decided that Hodgins would go back with Booth in the ambulance and Max would drive Booth's car back to D.C. Max told Hodgins that he would take his time going back because he was tired and it didn't matter when he got back to D.C. Hodgins thought that was OK and left Max in the parking lot. Max then called his daughter to let her know that Booth was awake and on the way home with Hodgins. Max told Brennan about his plan to drive back home at a leisurely pace. She asked him to be careful and thanked him for taking care of Booth.

When Max got to Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, he stopped at the Texaco station and bought some gas. While he was there he bought two disposable phones and some minutes. Sitting in Booth's car, Max made a few phone calls. Max spent an hour making calls to contacts that he had in Louisiana and in Texas to let them know that he was interested in the where-abouts of Joseph Booth. He put out a nice reward for anyone who could find Joseph and left instructions to hold on to Joseph when they found him. He wanted whoever found Joseph Booth to call him on the second phone he bought and leave a message that they had found Jared's father and a number that Max could reach them at. After he was finished making his phone calls, Max put the disposable phone he had been talking on, on the ground and stomped on until it was beyond repair and threw it away. Having taken care of business, Max continued to drive to D.C.

It took two days before Max received the phone call he was expecting. He had been driving at a verly leisurely pace and was driving in Virginia by that time. Max stopped beside the road to take the phone call. Upon hearing that someone had found Joseph Booth, Max asked him to hold on to Joseph for two days. He then told him what he wanted done and made arrangements to have a generous reward sent to the caller after the deed was done. Max wanted to make sure he was in D.C when events unfolded. He then destroyed that cell phone and threw the phone away the next time he stopped for gas.

Late that afternoon, Max drove into D.C. and went directly to Booth and Brennan's apartment. When the door opened , Brennan hugged her father and asked him how his trip had been.
"Oh, it was fine, " Max said, "Where's Booth?"
Pointing towards the guest bedroom, Brennan said, "He's in the guest bedroom. I rented a hospital bed so he's comfortable. Cam has come by to check on him several times since he's been back home. Hank is sitting in the room with him right now."
Putting her hand on Max's right arm, Brennan continued, "Dad, Booth's having a problem standing. Every time he tries to stand he gets very dizzy. The first time he got up out of bed by himself, he fell down. I wanted to call the EMTs; but, Booth said to wait. I then asked him if he wanted me to help him get up; but, Booth and Hank were afraid to let me try. He laid on the floor for awhile and then he managed to sit up. He then waited for a few minutes and stood up on his own. He says he didn't hurt his arm; but, I think he must have jarred it because he almost fainted when he fell. He probably will be very dizzy for the next few days. Concussions can have that effect. I wanted to take Booth to the hospital; but, you know he really hates to stay in one. Booth says he can handle the dizziness; but, I'm a little worried that he could further damage his left arm."
Concerned, Max said, "Honey, Booth and Hank were right. You can't pick up Booth now. You could hurt yourself. I'm back in town. If something like that happens again, call me. I'll come over and help him. If his dizziness gets worse then I'll take him to the hospital. He can be mad at me. You know I won't care. Let's just give it a couple of days. Like you said, concussions can cause dizziness. I'm sure he'll be more careful when he gets out of bed from now on. I'll come by every day and check on him and you."
Nodding in agreement, Brennan said, "Thanks, Dad. Do you want to see him?"
Nodding his head, Max said, "Sure."
Walking into the guest bedroom, Max saw that Booth was trying to watch some TV. Hank was dozing on the chair next to Booth's bed. "Hi, Booth. I brought your car back. It's parked downstairs."
Smiling at Max, Booth said, "Thanks. Thanks for bringing my car back and I want to thank you for watching out for me when I got hurt."
Smiling back, Max said, "No problem, Booth. If I hadn't looked out for you, Tempe probably would have killed me anyways. She's the one person in the world, that I know of, who could get away with it too."
Smiling at her father, Brennan punched Max lightly on his back. "I would not have killed you, Dad. I probably would have made you regret not taking care of Booth though."
"Well, I'm tired," Max said. "I'm going home. If you need anything, call me. You take care of yourself Booth and try to stay out of trouble." Turning around, Max kissed Brennan on the cheek and left.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Max has plans for Joseph Booth. I know I made Max sound kind of evil; but, we should remember that Max killed a retired FBI agent, the Deputy Director of the FBI and he had McVicker assassinated in prison. Reviews would be nice. Thanks.
