The lab was eerily quiet.

Angela sat on the couch in her office. Baby Michael was sleeping soundly beside her. She had laid out a few blankets to make a nice little spot for him to sleep. She was waiting for Hodgins. He'd said he was running the envelope over to Cam and coming right back. She sighed. Just as she was about to send a search party, he walked in.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she saw the look on his face. She got up and walked over to him.

"I uh… ran the picture of Sweets through the Angelatron." Hodgins bit his lip quivering lip. "It's awful, Ange."

"Hey," Angela pulled Hodgins into a hug. "We are going to find Sweets, alright? Nothing is going to happen to him."

Hodgins held Angela tight against him. "Why such a high ransom amount? It's like he doesn't want us to be able to pay. Like he wants Sweets to die."

"You do have enough to pay it, you know."

"Eight million is a little high. Even for me. And I can't without proof of life anyways. And on top of that I can't spend over half a million without the board's approval."

"So many rules." Angela said glumly.

"I know." Hodgins replied. He released Angela from his hold.

"Well, since this is going to be a long night I'm going to run home and get some more of Michael's things." Angela said as she glanced in their baby's direction.

"Alright. Be careful." Hodgins said and then gave Angela a kiss.

"Don't worry about me." Angela said with a smile and walked out of the office.

Hodgins sat down on the couch beside Michael. Michael made a face and started fussing. "Hey, now." Hodgins cooed as he picked him up. "Don't worry, Mikey, we'll get Sweets back safe and sound. You heard your mommy." Michael made a cooing noise. "See? I told you so." Michael just stared at him with his large brown eyes and reached up for his beard. "Hey, what did I tell you about the beard. Some day you will have your own and then you can play with yours." Hodgins said teasingly as he reached for his child's hand. Hodgins looked down at the wide eyes of his child. "You're not going back to sleep any time soon, are you?"

Michael responded with a loud laugh and threw both of his hands into his father's beard.

"That's what I thought."

Cam walked in and Hodgins's good mood was shattered. "What happened now?"

"Come look at these DNA results."

Booth, Brennan, and Hanson were in Booth's car. "So what does your soft science say so far?" Brennan asked.

"That you're looking for a male. Someone who's alone all the time so he could get away with doing this to someone."

"Yes, we know that." Booth said. "Anything else?"

"That he doesn't want to kill Sweets."

The car was silent.

"He gets off on watching you all suffer. So you can bet he's monitoring you in some way. Maybe a hack in the security system."

"Wouldn't that make him want to kill Sweets even more?" Brennan asked. The profiler's logic wasn't making any sense to the anthropologist.

Booth spoke first. "Because it would be over to quick."

"Exactly. He wants to draw it out as long as possible. He wants to put images in your head that you'll have to face as Doctor Sweets is recovering."

"So he's a psychopath?" Booth asked.

"My word was going to be sociopath, but yes." Hanson replied.

Booth's cell rang and he answered it quickly. "What?"

"We have the test results back on the DNA." Cam replied.

"And?" Booth prodded.

"It's a partial match for Heather Taffet."

"… What?"

"It's a partial match for Heather Taffet." Cam repeated. "But it's male."

"You mean… the Gravedigger's brother?"

"Yes."

"Thanks, Cam."

Cam sighed and hung up her phone. She looked over at Hodgins. "He's not taking this very well."

Hodgins sighed as he bounced Michael up and down. "None of us are, Cam."

"I know that, Hodgins, but Seeley is taking it worse than everyone else is." She replied.

Hodgins nodded in reply. His cell rang. He was about to juggle between Michael and getting his phone when Cam took the baby. Hodgins saw Angela on the caller ID.

"Hey, babe." He answered.

"There was a video taped to the -"

"Ange, slow down. Is everything okay?"

Angela took a deep shaky breath. "It's Sweets. There was a DVD taped to the door and it was Sweets." Her voice got choked up as she said. "He was singing the coconut song, Jack."

"Uh… Did… I'll…" Jack stumbled for words. "Bring it back here, alright? I'll call Booth."

"Okay." Came Angela's unsteady response.
