Chapter 42: Sully goes up, up, and…down?
Tim Sullivan, aka Sully, was standing in front of a hot air balloon with his girlfriend, her partner, and her partner's son. It was originally supposed to be just Tempe and himself, but she had said Booth came or she didn't. From there, Parker Booth had gotten permission to go as well, and now the four of them were climbing into the balloon's basket. So much for a romantic gesture.
"Ready Parker?" Booth asked his son. The little boy nodded, and once they were all aboard, their driver, or balloon guy…Sully wasn't sure what he was called officially, started up and they were rising into the air. The guy began pointing out landmarks and Parker exclaimed over how tiny everything looked. The boy's enthusiasm was contagious and Sully quickly found his mood lifting along with the balloon. Their guide pointed out the Lincoln Monument and Sully leaned over the edge of the balloon to see better. He leaned a little too far however, and fell out, a graceless scream tearing from his lips as he fell. Brennan leaned over to watch his fall, while Booth gave a quick glance, his attention being diverted quickly by Parker's question.
"What happened to him? Did he fall?" It had all happened so fast.
"Yea, he did."
"Is he going to be all right?"
"Sure he will." He hated lying to his son, but how to explain what had happened? There was no easy way to do it.
"Oh…oh! Cause he can fly right? Like Superman?" The boy's eyes were hopeful.
Despite Brennan's look of admonishment at his lies, he replied. "Yep, just like Superman."
