"So what happened Booth? Tell me what happened from the beginning." Cullen said.
"Well, I remember that I had been on my way to one of Bones' doctor's appointments and that I had been running late.
"I had been going through an intersection when a car hit the passenger side of my car. I got out so we could trade information."
"What happened after that?" Cullen asked him.
"Everything went black."
Cullen sighed.
"What happened when you woke up?" It was Booth's turn to sigh now.
"I truthfully don't know sir. Those first couple days are a blur for me. He must've given me a concussion when he hit me on the back of the head."
"Well, what's the first thing you remember?"
"I woke up in this dirty room. No windows. I had been gagged and tied up to a chair." Booth paused.
"What happened after that?"
"That's when he started talking about Bones."
"And what exactly did he say?'
Booth looked at the one-way glass.
"You promise she's gone?"
"I have two agents guarding the door so she can't get into observation."
Booth took a deep breath.
"He kept on telling me stuff about her. Like where she went during the day. He told me about the day she had Mollie. He was stalking her sir and there was nothing I could do but sit there and listen."
"So he had been stalking her the whole time during your abduction?"
"Yeah. He said he tried talking to her once or twice and told me he was going to kidnap Mollie." He took a deep breath.
"He showed me pictures the first year he had me. Then he stopped. I panicked because I figured he had kidnapped her and Mollie and killed them. These past two years, I'd practically given up hope and thought that even if I got out, I wouldn't have two out of the three most important people in my life." Booth slouched against the back of the chair and buried his face in his hands.
"I'm gonna bring in someone so you can describe your abductor."
"Wait a minute? You didn't arrest him!" Booth abruptly sat straight up in his chair.
"No. We had gotten a hit from the tip-line. We had a description on this guy for the past three years, but we didn't have much specifics. Someone called and said that there was a guy that matched the description leaving the building we found you in."
Booth slouched back in his chair once again and looked up at the ceiling.
"Fine. I'll be waiting."
Cullen left the room so Booth stood up and started to pace. About five minutes later, Booth heard the door being opened.
"Booth!" All of a sudden, Booth was being hugged by his favorite forensic artist.
"Hi Ange." He said. Taking a deep breath to forget about the pain in his ribs. She pulled back.
"Sorry. And when they called I thought they were kidding and I tried calling Bren and she wouldn't answer her phone, and we've been so worried about you and nothing's been the same. Oh! Have you seen Bren? Have you met Mollie? Of course you've met Mollie, Bren has her. But unless you haven't seen Bren yet and I'm assuming you haven't because she looked so worried when I saw her sitting in Sweets' office so that means you probably haven't seen her which means you haven't seen Mollie and-"
"Ange." She took a breath and looked up at him.
"What?" She asked breathlessly.
"Breathe." She took a deep breath.
"Okay Studly, so tell me. Have you seen Bren?"
"Yes I've seen Bones. I've seen Mollie too." Angela smiled.
"Isn't she adorable? She looks so much like Bren except she has your eyes and your smile. I don't know how many times Bren has let Mollie do something because she smiles and makes her eyes all sappy." Booth smiled.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yep. Oh you'll love her Booth. She's the perfect blend of the both of you." Booth smiled and then quickly let his smile fade away.
"Let's get this over with then. The quicker I'm out of here, the better." Angela pulled out her sketchpad and Booth started describing him. About an hour and a half later, Angela set down her pencil and turned the sketchpad towards Booth.
"Is this right Booth?" Booth looked at the picture and nodded with a grim expression on his face.
"That's him Ange. That's him." Angela nodded and they both stood up.
She hugged him. "It's good to have you back Booth."
"It's good to be back." She pulled back and squeezed his shoulders before walking out of the interrogation room.
He sat back down and waited for Cullen to come back in, but he didn't have to wait long. About two minutes later, Cullen walked in and sat opposite of Booth.
"You're free to go Booth-"
"Thank God!" Booth smiled.
"After you talk to Dr. Sweets." Booth's smile quickly turned into a grimace as Cullen walked out of the door and Sweets walked in.
"Hiya Sweets."
"Hi Booth." Booth looked over Sweets and saw that he was nervous.
"Nervous Sweets?"
"What would make you think that?"
"Well, you're sweating and slightly shaking there Sweets. Don't worry though, the only thing that might be wrong mentally with me is the fact that Bones and Mollie won't be allowed of my sight and the next time I see the bastard that kidnapped me he will have a bullet in his brain." Sweets took a deep breath.
"Well that last part is to be expected. You were abducted and beaten for a little over three years. I would understand the urge to harm your abductor." Booth sighed. He really did hate psychology.
"But back to the first thing you said, why are you not going to allow Dr. Brennan and Mollie out of your sight?"
"Because Sweets, for three years, I had to listen to this bastard talk to me about my best friend, the mother of my child, like she was some kind of trophy. And then he told me he was going to kidnap my daughter. So yeah Sweets, I plan on having them both in close proximity." Booth crossed his arms. Sweets ran a hand through his hair and then looked at Booth again.
"Well, I think we're done here. I don't think you're going to tell me anymore today so I'm requiring you to come in for a session twice a week until I clear you to go into the field and then, you'll have to come once a week for five weeks.
"I also want you and Dr. Brennan to resume partners' therapy." Booth ran a hand through his hair and let out a sigh.
"Fine. I guess I don't really have a choice in the matter about the sessions , but you're gonna have to talk to Bones about partners therapy."
"I'll speak to Dr. Brennan before you three leave." Sweets stood up and walked to the door, thought he paused before walking out.
"Are you coming?" Sweets asked him.
"You mean I get to leave?"
"Well, we've interrogated you about what your abductor did to you for the past three years. We've had you describe your abductor to Angela and I'm pretty sure they're sending out a BOLO as we speak and you're as mentally cleared as you're gonna get today." Booth smiled and stood up so he could follow Sweets out.
As Sweets led him to his office, agents were clapping him on the back, telling him it was good to see him.
Sweets opened the door to his office and Bones and Mollie sat on the couch, Brennan playing with Mollie's hair.
"Mommy, can you make pweety bwaids?" Booth smiled, noticing that she couldn't yet get her r's out yet.
"Yes baby, mommy will make pretty braids." Sweets cleared his throat.
"Uncle Sweets!" Mollie launched herself off the couch and into his arms. He lifted her up.
"Hiya munchkin. Whatcha doin'?
"Mommy is making pweety bwaids in my hair."
"Well, how about you let her finish?"
"Okay!" Sweets put Mollie down and she ran back to the couch. As she was sitting down in front of Brennan, she spotted Booth standing near the door.
She immediately crawled into her mother's lap and whispered in her ear. Brennan smiled.
"That's one of mommy's…friends, sweetie." Mollie gave Booth the signature "squint" look, her eyes scrutinizing him as she looked at him. She whispered in Brennan's ear again. This time, she laughed.
"Yes baby, he's nice."
She whispered in Brennan's ear again.
"Mommy, I go say hi to your fwiend?" She asked.
Brennan whispered back in her ear, not letting anyone else know what she was saying this time.
"I think he'll like that very much sweetie." Mollie slowly got off the couch and shyly walked towards Booth. He squatted down so they would be the same height and when Mollie was about a foot away, she stopped.
"Hi. I'm Mollie. Who are you?"
"I'm Seeley, but you can call me Booth."
"Booth?" She tried out.
"Yep."
She nodded. "Okay!", and she ran back towards the couch and crawled into her mother's lap.
Booth stood up and locked eyes with Brennan and had one of their silent conversations. Some things never did change.
Sweets cleared his throat.
"Dr. Brennan." Bones looked at Sweets and frowned.
"What Sweets?"
"I would like you and Booth to resume partners' therapy as soon as possible." She looked to Booth and he shrugged.
"Why?"
"Well due to the fact that Booth has been missing for three years and if you want you two to resume your partnership when Booth returns to field work, you'll resume partners' therapy as well." Bones looked at Booth and he nodded.
"Can I give you an answer tomorrow Sweets?"
Both Booth and Sweets gave her a look of shock. Sweets came back first though.
"Sure Dr. Brennan. Take as much time as you need." She nodded and picked up a now sleeping Mollie off the couch. She walked towards the door and paused when she didn't hear any footsteps behind her.
"Are you coming Booth?" He slowly nodded and started walking behind her, falling into old habits and putting his hand on the small of her back. She started squirming under his touch so he pulled away.
They silently rode in the elevator down to the parking garage and walked to her car. Once Mollie was buckled in and ready, they left.
