"So how you been, Rebecca?" Jared laughed as he sat on the edge of her bed. The other men and woman remained standing, looking like they'd shoot if someone made a sudden move. Sully gulped and looked at Rebecca. "Well, I'm good. Thanks for asking." There was a smile on Jared's face.
"I know you're here for the you know what, but..." Rebecca started.
"Oh, Beccs. Don't tell us you still don't have it." Jared grinned, already knowing Rebecca probably didn't have the chip with her. If she would have had it, then she would have handed it over quickly. Sully eyed the window, wondering if jumping out was a good idea.
"That's a fifty foot drop." The woman, who looked like a professional wrestler, told Sully.
"You wanna jump?" Jared clasped Sully's shoulder. "Why? We're friends. Right, Beccs?" Jared's grin returned. It was nice to see Rebecca and her helper sweat. Jared had his share of sweating when Rebecca hadn't turned the chip over to him. "So what's it gonna be, Beccs?" Jared looked at her, expecting an answer.
"I don't have it." When Rebecca saw the men and woman take a step closer to her, she continued. "But I know who has it." Sully and the rest stared at her.
"Well, who has it?" For the first time the older man from the two spoke. He was in his late forties, maybe early fifties and was well built too.
"Temperance Brennan has it." Sully's eyes popped out. Rebecca was sending the goons after Brennan. That couldn't end well.
"And who's that?" Jared asked, curious to find out if Rebecca was telling the truth.
"Seeley's girlfriend." Rebecca was satisfied that Jared and his associates were buying it. That's for ruining everything. Rebecca thought. Jared could see Rebecca was confident in her words and he doubted she was lying.
B&B
"The show's starting." Hodgins approached Booth and Brennan. The three took their seats as the show began. Brennan could tell Booth wasn't paying attention to the show.
She leaned and whispered in his ear, "We can leave whenever you want." Brennan kissed his cheek and he patted her thigh, sending her a silent thank you. Brennan took out her cell phone and sent Daisy a text message. A few minutes later she received a reply. Brennan leaned once again. "Daisy says everything's in order. They're watching a movie." Booth turned to face her, kissing her on the lips.
"Thank you." He rested his forehead with hers for a few seconds. Booth took her hand in his and they turned their attention to the rest of the show.
The show was over and Booth had no intention of staying for the rest of the event. But before he could make and exit with Brennan, Cullen dragged Booth off to the side. Booth sent Brennan a 'help me' look. Brennan did a 'what can I do' hand gesture. As Cullen talked, Booth looked over at where Brennan stood. All Booth wanted to do was leave with Brennan, but here he was being talked to death by his uncle. Couldn't he wait 'til Monday? Booth thought.
"Seeley, are you there?" Cullen asked with a chuckle.
"Sorry. It's just that..."
"Hey, I get it. It's Saturday night and you'd rather be somewhere quieter with your girlfriend." Cullen grinned and Booth smiled. Yes! He was going to get out of the talk for right now. "But you gotta listen up." Cullen dragged Booth a bit further away from the rest of the people and Booth had no choice but to listen and get it over with.
Brennan stood next to Hodgins. They were having light conversation when Angela approached them. She hugged her best friend and then turned to plant a breath taking kiss on Hodgins' lips. There was a flash followed by a reporter approaching them. "How long have you two been going out?" Gazillionare Jack Hodgins was going out with the fashion artist Angela Montenegro. That was a juicy note. Brennan was discretely inching away, but Angela held her arm.
"Oh, no you don't." Angela told Brennan with a laugh, linking her arm with Brennan's.
Booth and Brennan left the event at the first chance they got. "Do you want me to drive?" Brennan could see Booth was worried about something.
"If you want to." He handed her the keys and they both got in the SUV and took their seats. Booth was smiling as Brennan pulled out of the lot.
"What?" Brennan sent him a quick glance as she drove.
"It's just that it seems different to be on the passenger seat." They shared a smile as Brennan kept driving. They entered Booth's apartment and found Daisy asleep on the couch.
"Hey, Daisy, we're back." Booth lightly tapped her shoulder.
"Okay, just five more minutes." Daisy mumbled and turned on her side, facing away from Booth and Brennan.
"It's past midnight." Brennan commented as she placed a hand on his shoulder to balance herself as she took off her heels.
"Stay." Booth whispered in her ear.
"Is that how you plan on waking up Daisy?" Brennan's breath brushed his ear as she spoke. Booth hugged her tightly.
He took her hand and led the way to his bedroom. "I have this gut feeling. I can't explain it, but I just can't shake it off."
"Like a bad feeling?" Brennan asked.
"Yeah, something like that. I would feel much better if you stayed here." Brennan nodded she would stay and kissed him.
After a quick shower Brennan was dressed in the pajama pants and tank top she'd left there the previous weekend when she spent the night. As Booth showered Brennan checked on Parker, finding the boy sound asleep. She kissed him on the cheek and made her way towards the door.
"Ow." Brennan was barefoot and steeping on Mr. Bear Bear wasn't nice on her foot. She picked up the bear and sat him on Parker's desk. Weren't stuffed animals supposed to be soft, especially in the middle? Brennan grabbed a blanket from the hall closet and draped it over the sleeping Daisy. She went around making sure everything was locked.
When Brennan returned to Booth's bedroom he was already there. They settled on the bed after sharing a kiss. Brennan fell asleep almost instantly, but Booth remained awake.
Brennan woke up to the sound of a video game. She thought it was morning and that Parker was on the bed with them, but she was surprised to find it was still dark and the one playing the game was Booth.
"What are you playing?" Brennan squinted to adjust to the light on the screen of Parker's PSP.
"Galaga." Booth answered, pausing the game. Brennan scooted closer and rested her head on his shoulder, her arm resting on his midsection. "I couldn't sleep. If it bothers you, I can turn it off."
"No, keep playing." Brennan watched as Booth played with his last space ship. After a few minutes Brennan commented, "There goes your last ship." Booth's score came on the screen and Brennan smiled. "I can beet your score."
"Really?" He teased.
"Yeah. I may not be as good on the new games but this is a classic. I'm an expert." She grinned, taking the game from his hands.
"Let's see." He smiled, this time it was Booth who rested his head on her shoulder. "Hah, your ship was captured." Brennan laughed when she got her ship back and passed the level. "I guess you are an expert." He kissed her cheek. "Maybe you can tutor me." He laughed. "Wow that sounded a bit dirty." He joked, wrapping his arms around her. They were about to share a kiss when Daisy's yelp was heard, followed by something falling. They quickly got out of bed and went to investigate.
Booth entered the living room with Brennan following close behind. They found Daisy on the floor wrestling with the blanket. Brennan helped her up and the Daisy looked at them embarrassed. "Sorry I woke you guys up." Daisy sat on the couch, sending them an apologetic smile. Booth told her he had tried to wake her, but she hadn't.
"I'll drive you in the morning." Daisy nodded, knowing Booth didn't want to leave Brennan and Parker alone.
Booth and Brennan returned to bed. Brennan fell asleep and Booth once again remained awake.
Booth made breakfast and left a note for Brennan and Parker that he was driving Daisy and that he'd be back soon.
Booth entered the apartment, finding Brennan and Parker seated on the couch. They were covered with a blanket, watching TV. Booth kicked off his shoes and sat next to Brennan. "What are we watching?" He asked.
"Scooby Doo." Parker answered. Booth rested his head on Brennan's shoulder and was soon asleep.
"Booth?" Brennan shook him to wake up, but he just mumbled. Brennan and Parker got him to sleepily walk towards his room. Booth fell on the bed and Parker returned to the living room. Brennan was lowering his jeans when Booth opened his eyes, sending her a confused look. Had he missed something? Brennan folded his jeans and left them on the other side of the bed. She helped him get under the covers and kissed him on the forehead. "Sleep." He nodded and Brennan left the room.
Booth woke up at one in the afternoon and walked towards the living room. Brennan and Parker were getting ready to exit the apartment.
"Where are you guys going?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"You're awake. We were going to return the movies Parker and Daisy rented yesterday and stop by for a pizza." Brennan smiled at how Booth's hair was sticking on one side.
"I'll come too." Parker started laughing and Brennan was trying not to. "What?" Booth asked, not understanding what was so funny.
"You don't have pants on, dad." Parker laughed. Booth looked down and yup, he was in boxers. He told them to wait up a sec and returned to his bedroom to put on some jeans.
The rest of the day passed by quickly, with the tree of them eating and playing games.
The next day Parker went to work with Booth. Parker had wanted to go after he heard Hodgins would be there.
It was noon and Brennan was throwing the trash out from Booth's place and hers. She walked to the parking lot and dumped the trash in the dumpster. On her way back to the building's entrance a van with the logo for a plumbing company rolled by. Brennan re-entered the building and a woman approached her from the inside. Brennan tried to side step and get by, but the woman didn't budge.
"Excuse me." Brennan tried to push past the woman one more time and before she knew it, she was being dragged out to the parking lot area. Someone had their hand on her mouth to muffle her screams. The van was by the door and she was thrown inside. The van left and the security people Hodgins had set up missed the action.
Brennan kicked the man trying to tie her legs. He fell back as the van made a turn. Brennan remembered the remote in her pocket and tried to reach it. She had it in her hand when the woman grabbed her arms, sending the remote flying and landing under the driver's seat. Shit! Brennan was struggling to reach it when someone hit her on the head. Brennan started seeing stars, metaphorically, and fought to stay conscious.
