The season finale of Bones has me in such a good mood, I thought I'd give everyone a surprise update! Though, by the end of the chapter, I don't think you guys will like this particular surprise...

Juliet had finally managed to lose herself in reading a file when a worried voice called her name.

"Juliet!"

She looked up, surprised to see Gus come into the squadroom. "Gus?" She closed her file. "What's wrong?"

"I can't find Shawn!"

Vick came out of her office, and other officers drew closer.

"What do you mean, you can't find him?" Juliet stood up, her stomach twisting.

"He's not answering his phone, he's not at his place, and his bike is sitting out in the parking lot!" Gus looked close to panic.

Juliet grabbed her jacket. The last thing she had said to Shawn was to get lost, and now they didn't know where he was. "Gus, just calm down. We'll find him."

Vick looked at McNabb. "Buzz, go with them. Martinez and Cabot, take a look at Mr. Spencer's bike downstairs. Let's go."

Juliet followed Gus, the knot in her stomach growing with each step. Gus was silent, but she could see the wheels turning in his mind.

They reached Shawn's home in record time. Gus pulled out his key and opened the door, and McNabb followed Gus and Juliet inside.

The place was messy, just as it always was. Juliet looked around, her blue eyes scanning every inch of the room.

There was a coffee table in front of the couch, and Juliet went to it. Amidst the papers and magazines, she spotted a single folded paper with a red spot bleeding through. Pulling on a pair of gloves, Juliet carefully picked it up and unfolded it.

Gus came up behind her. "Juliet?"

Her sharp eyes scanned the paper, and her heart started to race.

Tsk, tsk on Shawn for keeping such a messy home. I'd expected to find him here, but you can just imagine my delight at taking him right from under your nose.

Gus read the letter over her shoulder, and he gasped softly.

They're both amazing specimens, and both quite you. I can see why you're having such a hard time choosing one. The free spirit, or the devoted protector. Hard choice.

Juliet swallowed hard, suddenly sick.

But we can't have our cake and eat it too, now can we? So I'm going to give you a choice. Keep your phone on, Detective. We'll be talking very soon.

At the bottom of the page was a bloody heart, and Juliet thrust the letter toward McNabb. "Get this to the lab," she demanded. Then she grabbed her phone and opened it.

No missed calls.

Gus rubbed the back of his neck and struggled to contain his surging emotions. His best friend was missing, possibly hurt or worse...

Juliet looked at McNabb. "I have to get back to the squadroom. Buzz. Stay here until the CSI's get here."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'm going with you," Gus said firmly.

She nodded, motioning for him to follow her. "Let's go."

They left Shawn's place in silence, and by the time they returned to the precinct, the squadroom was buzzing with activity.

Vick spotted Juliet first, and she made her way to the junior detective. "Did you find anything other than the letter, Detective?"

Juliet shook her head. "Nothing."

Vick sighed. First Lassiter, now Spencer. This psycho was gunning for O'Hara, and he was torturing her by abducting those closest to her.

"Where is my son?"

Juliet and Vick turned toward the booming voice. Henry Spencer stalked into the squadroom, his mouth drawn in a tight line.

Vick looked at Juliet, then approached Henry. "Mr. Spencer..."

"Karen, don't do that. Just tell me where my son is!"

She hesitated. "We... We don't know, Henry."

"What do you mean, you don't know where he is? What's going on?"

Juliet came up beside Vick, her eyes filled with sadness and fear for Shawn and Carlton. "Henry, Shawn and my partner were abducted."

Vick turned on Juliet. "O'Hara..."

"He's Shawn's dad, Chief! He should know." She turned to face Henry again, who looked stunned. "We have reason to believe that the abductor took them... to get revenge against me."

Henry stared at her. "Why...?" was all he could manage.

"I don't know. But, Mr. Spencer, we're doing everything we possibly can to get them back. I promise you, we will bring them back."

Henry ran his hand over his head. "You can't promise that, Juliet. But... thank you."

She nodded, and she was caught offguard when he drew her into a tight embrace. Everything else seemed to fade away as she buried her face in Henry's shoulder and began to weep.

Shawn had to be okay.

Several hours later, Juliet was sitting at her desk, staring at her phone. No one had called her, and she was becoming anxious.

A few feet away, Henry Spencer was sitting at an empty desk, going over files that Vick had reluctantly provided him with. Miami PD had faxed over Juliet's old case files, and Henry was going through them in the hopes they would find someone with a motive to lash out at Juliet.

Juliet touched her phone with her index finger. A tech had put a tap on her phone, so that when the call came in, everything would be recorded and traced. With any luck. she would be able to keep the kidnapper on the line long enough to get his location. Then they would be able to go get Shawn and Lassiter and bring them back safe.

Her phone suddenly went off, causing Juliet to jump. She immediately grabbed her phone and checked the caller ID. The call was coming from Lassiter's cell.

"This is it!" She jumped to her feet, running into the chief's office with Henry and Gus hot on her heels. Setting the phone on Vick's desk, she turned on the speakerphone. "Hello?"

There was a long silence. "Good evening, Juliet. I told you we'd be speaking soon."

TBC...
