Chapter Ten: You Found Me
The Agent continued asking inane questions until Booth finally had enough.
"Okay, stop, just stop. My kids are missing are you're here questioning me and my wife. What the hell are you thinking? My little kids are gone and you're just sitting here. Go out and get them back!" Booth yelled at his fellow agent.
"I'm sorry Agent Booth. I can't imag…."
"No that's right. You can't imagine what I'm going through, but you know what you can do? You can get out there and find my kids, and put my ex back in jail where she belongs."
Parker knew who had taken him and his little sister. It was his old mommy. The one he had before he got Mama Bones. This mommy wasn't as nice. He didn't want to go with her but she grabbed him really hard and jerked his arm. He didn't let go of Emmy though, just like Mama Bones had said. She told him to hold his sister's hand, only now he was thinking maybe he should've let go, cuz then Emmy would be back at the Jeffersonian instead of in this stinky trailer with him. He was sitting on the floor of the trailer his old mommy had taken them too. Emmy was asleep, her head on Parkers lap. He was glad she had fell asleep because he didn't like it when she cried, and that was all she had been doing since his old mommy had taken them. Parker could hear his old mommy and her friend in the next room. They were trying to be quiet but the trailer was so small even whispers could be heard clearly on the other side of the home. He wanted to pay attention just in case he heard anything useful, after all that's what his dad would do.
"We can keep her too, she looks enough like Parker. They could pass as full siblings. Parker looks like me; no one will question us being a family once we get far enough away from here. I was thinking Wyoming or Kansas, some place like that. Seeley will think I'll go to my mothers, or maybe my sisters, he won't expect us to go somewhere I have no family" his old mommy whispered.
Parker didn't like what he was hearing. She was saying she was going to take Parker and Ember far away from D.C. but he didn't want to leave. His Daddy was here and so was Mama Bones, and Harper, and his friend Andrew, and the Jeffersonian, and his Uncle Jack and Aunt Angie. Everyone he loved lived here. That's when he knew he had to get out.
"Emmy! Emmy wake up!" Parker said, gently shaking his little sister. "Come on Emmy. We gotta go home." When he said that Ember woke up.
"Home?" She asked
"Yeah Emmy, we're gonna go home." He told the smaller child. Ember grinned for the first time since they had been taken. Parker helped Ember stand up. He took her little hand in his and led her to the door. The children looked out the plastic window on the door but they couldn't see much except the trailer next door.
"It's okay Emmy. We're going." Parker whispered. He gently opened the door, careful not to make a sound. The two children left the trailer, Parker remembering to shut the door quietly behind him. If they got lucky his old mommy and her friend would stay in the bedroom for a while and they would have time to get far away. Parker and Ember started running once the door was shut. They ran past trailer after trailer until finally they came to a street.
"Wilcox?" I don't know this street Parker thought to himself, but he didn't want to worry his sister so her turned right without another thought. They started running again. Soon they came to a bigger street, this time Parker led them parallel to the big road. He could see the big buildings in the distance, that was where his parents would be, in the city.
Parker and Ember ran and ran until they thought they thought they would drop from exhaustion, and then they ran some more.
Just when Parker was about to give up hope he saw a police car coming down the road towards them. He stopped running and started jumping up and down, waving his hands in the air. Ember followed his example and started jumping and screaming too.
"Over here! Help us" they yelled. The police car came closer and closer, and then it drove right past them. Parker started to cry, he turned around to watch the police car when it did something that surprised him. It turned around. Now the police car was on their side of the road, coming back towards them.
Parker started to laugh.
"Emmy we're saved. 'Dat cops gonna get us and take us to Mama and Daddy!" Parker told his little sister.
The police car pulled to a stop right in front of them. The cop rolled down his window.
"You kids need some help?" he asked.
"Yes! We got kidnapped by my old mommy. She took us from my new mama's work. 'Dis is my baby sister Ember, and I'm Parker Booth. Will you call my parents? Please?"
The cop was dumbfounded. He opened the door and climbed out of the cruiser.
"You two are the Booth kids that went missing this morning?" he asked.
"Yes!" Parker and Ember both shouted.
"Please will you take us to my Daddy's work, it's the FBI, or my Mama's? She works at the Jeffersonian, that's the really big museum." Parker asked him again. This time the cop acted a little more like what he expected.
"Well sure, umm yeah. I mean of course I will. Come on kids hop in. We'll be there in a jiffy." He said coming around the side of the police cruiser to open the door for them.
"Thanks for finding us mister." Parker said as the cop helped him into the car.
"What are you talking about kid? You found me." The cop said with a grin.
