Chapter 33

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Part 5

Chante Olowa

Jeffersonian

The witty retort on the tip of Angela's tongue was lost, as the force of an unexpected contraction had her doubling over.

Cam had been so focused on Angela, she failed to notice Hodgins arrival.

She was about to call for him again, but as she glanced up, she realized that there was no need.

Stepping back to give the couple some room, she watched as his arms wrapped around Angela from behind.

As his hands settled onto her tummy, he whispered into her ear, "Breathe with me babe."

"Heeheehee whoooooooo. Heeheehee whoooooooo."

Moments later, he could tell that the contraction was coming to an end, because some of the tension had eased from her shoulders.

"Better?"

"Getting there, she hissed through clenched teeth.

After the pain began to subside, she slowly straightened up.

When she started to sway, Hodgins gently pulled her back until she was safely nestled against his chest.

As he pressed a kiss to her temple, she panted, "It's a damn good thing… that we're partial winners of the pool, because that… hurt like hell!"

"You knew about the pool?"

"Jack, do you really think that there is anything that goes on in the Jeffersonian that I don't know about?"

"Good point," Cam said.

Hodgins shot a glare at her.

Cam shrugged as she said, "Well it was."

"Not…"

Hodgins cut himself off as he felt Angela's cringe.

She smiled as she whispered, "Oh, that one wasn't too bad."

Hodgins rolled his eyes as he coaxed, "Come on babe, lets get you to the hospital before you drop Lily on the floor."

As they all headed towards the door Cam asked, "So, who else won the pool?"

"Cullen and Breeeeeeen," Angela screamed as another contraction tore through her.

Same time at B&B's House

"Fuck," Booth roared as he pounded the Bureau's number into his phone.

As he waited of an answer, in vivid detail, his mind replayed everything that he had heard, as he desperately tried to piece it all together.

His Bones never had a chance, the way she had been cut off mid-sentence, indicated a blitz attack. The sounds of her muffled screams would haunt him for years to come. But most terrifying of all, had been the following silence.

If he had just gone with her…

"Special Agent Black Wolf."

"Joe this is Booth. It's time to initiate project Heart Song."

"Right. Bringing online…"

Joe held his breath.

Several months ago, Booth had him put a tracking device in a locket for the lady scientist. Booth had told him, that she had a knack for getting into trouble. Everyone in the Bureau knew that was an understatement, so with Cullen's blessing the chip had been installed.

Also well known, was that Booth was head over heels for the good doctor, so in honor of his own Lakota heritage, Joe came up with the code name, chante olowa, heart song.

"Now! Ok Booth, she is in Fairfax County, Virginia. North bound on the 709, and moving fast."

"Call me back as soon as you have a fixed position."

Before Joe could respond, Booth snapped his phone shut.

"Daddy?"

Booth's spine stiffened.

In an effort to compose himself, he shook his hands out, as he took a deep breath.

As ready as he was ever going to be, Booth slowly turned around.

"Hey bub, how long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know that something bad happened to Mommy and Lexie," he whispered.

Booth's first instinct was to protect his son from the truth, but as he looked into eyes that were so much like his own, he knew that he couldn't.

"I'm so sorry bub" Booth whispered back, as he hunkered down in front of him.

"Just tell me."

"They were taken Parks, but I'm going to bring them home", he replied as he brushed the back of his knuckles over his cheek.

Parker placed his small hands on his father's broad shoulders.

"Promise," he whispered as his bottom lip began to quiver?

"I promise," Booth said as he pulled Parker into a hug.

Ding dong.

Booth's head snapped up.

"Stay here Parker," Booth ordered.

Booth ran to the door.

"Max, I'm glad you're here, I need you to watch Parker," Booth said in a rush, as he pulled Max into the house with one hand, and grabbed his keys from the hook by the door with the other.

"Booth…"

"Max," Parker cried as he came barreling out of the kitchen!

After hurling himself at Max, Parker's arms locked around his waist in a death grip.

"Hey now, what's this all about," Max said in a soothing voice as he wrapped his arms around Parker.

"Somebody took Mommy and Lexie," Parker sobbed.

Max quickly looked around for Booth, but he was no where to be found.

"Come on Parker, lets go sit down."

As he guided Parker towards the living room, he whipped his cell phone out.

Booth answered on the first ring.

"I'll bring them back Max."

For Parker's sake, Max attempted to silently count to ten before responding.

He made it to three.

"You better," Max managed to reply in a calm, yet threatening tone.

Before Booth could say another word, Max hung up on him.

Sniffling, Parker turned his head over his shoulder, so he could see Max's face as he said, "Don't worry Max, he promised, and my daddy always keeps his promises."

A/N: Ah, the reviled cliffy. So, what's next? Well, I'd love to tell you…

So please review, so I can!
