Chapter 17-The Return of Alexandria

Last Time

Suddenly a gun shot rang throughout the lab. Brennan looked up and saw a women dressed in all black,pointing a gun at the celing. She had a motorcycle helmet on,so no one knew who she was.

"I want to see Dr. Brennan!"she shouted "Back off!" she screamed as guards tried closing in.

Brennan took a step forward "What do you want from me?" she shouted.

"Bones!"Booth shouted "What are you doing?"

"In your office...Now!"The woman bellowed.

Brennan walked into her office as the woman held the gun to her back.

"If you want her alive stay away!"the woman shouted before slamming the door.

Inside Brennan's office the woman pulled the shades down and sat Brennan on the sofa.

"What do you want?"Brennan asked. The woman didn't answer. She unloaded her gun. Bullets dropped onto the floor. Then the woman gathered them up and handed them and the gun to Brennan.

Then she pulled her helmet off "I'm Alexandria Harmony Duke-Johnson. And I want to help."

"Alexandria!? I don't understand. I thought you were being held captive."

"I was. I managed to escape."

"Why did you wait four years to attempt an escape."

"I was young when he took me" Alexandria explained "When he told me that he wouldn't kill my family and friends if I stayed with him,I bought it. Little did I know that the whole time he was raping and killing young girls and women."

Brennan was shocked. She couldn't believe that she was talking to the one person who help put ,The Psycho, behind bars. Alexandria was furiously pacing. Her hands were shaking like leaves in a winter snow storm.

"Alexandria?. Why the gun? Why not just walk in and tell us who you are?"

"I was at...your rape. I drove the getaway car when he shot Dr.Addy. I thought that if I walked in and identified myself, I would be arrested as an accomplice."

"I thought you said that you didn't know about the other rapes."

"I found out about them just before your rape. I found his "trophy case" as he called it. Little things he took as mementos. Thats when he decided that I would be his sidekick."Alexandria said,cringing at the word sidekick. "He handcuffed me to your bedpost and made me watch. When he shot Dr.Addy he cuffed me to the steering wheel."

"How did you manage to escape this time?"Brennan asked.

"He had me chained to a wall by my ankles. So...while...He..."Alexandria said,starting to cry "While he was gone I stripped down to my bra and panties." Then Alexandria was too upset to continue.

"You don't have to say anymore."Brennan said.

Alexandria regained her composure "All in all I suduced him. Once he was caught up in me I tricked him into unchaining me. Then I gathered the chain in my hands and hit him with it until he was unconscious. I jumped on his Harley and came here."

"Alexandria,are you sure you left him alive?"

"I wanted to let Agent Booth do with him what he wished."

Outside the room,Brennan could hear Booth shouting "Do something! Get in there!".

"Alexandria. Do you think we could let Agent Booth in?"

Alexandria collapsed into Brennan's desk chair "Is he going to arrest me?"

"Are you telling me the truth."Brennan asked

"I swear on the my life that every word is the truth."

"Booth won't arrest you if I tell him not to."Brennan said. Brennan watched as Alexandria took the bullets out of her gun and placed them,and the gun,on the desk.

Then Alexandria walked to the door,opening it slowly "Hold your fire! Please!"she cried "I mean no harm!". But the officers didn't lower their weapons.

Booth realized who the woman standing at the door was "Lower your gun!. Don't shoot!."Booth shouted. The officers,then lowered their weapons.

"A..Agent Booth. Come here...Please"Alexandria said. Booth ran to the door,like the devil was at his heels. Alexandria quickly ushered Booth in,shutting the door quickly.

"Bones. You al right?"Booth asked.

"I'm fine. Alexandria doesn't want to hurt anybody. She just wants to help us."

"How did you escape?"Booth asked Alexandria.

"I hit him over the head. Listen I can tell you where he is. When I go back he will kill me."Alexandria said.

"Wait. Alexandria you're not going back. You're staying right here with us."Brennan said

"I am?!"said Alexandria

"She is?"Booth said at the same time.

"Seeley Booth!. I cannot believe that you would consider havibg Alexandria go back to that horrible psychopath."Brennan said.

"Well...I...I didn't mean she had to go back back ."

"Well then what did you mean?"Brennan asked.

Booth was silent. He knew he wasn't going to win this argument. "Alright. We will figure something out."Booth said.

Booth stepped outside the office and ordered the security guards to stand down.

"It was a prank. The woman means no harm. Go on about your business." He said. The security guards looked confused but they obeyed orders.

"Squints! and Sully."Booth called to the Squints and Sully,who had magically appeared.

"Who is she?"Angela asked.

"You'll see. Everyone in.C'mon."Booth said ushering everyone into the room.

"No way. Oh my God. No way"Angela was saying "My eyes are playing tricks on me"

"That is not possible. By her bone structure and facial features I'd say that she is without a doubt-"Zack said

"Alexandria Harmony Duke-Johnson-"Hodgins said

"Four years older."Cam said

Alexandria leaned over to Booth "Do they always do that?"

"They're the Squints. You'll get used to it."Booth said.

"Alright,everyone sit down. Alexandria has some information for us."Brennan said.

Everyone scrambled to find a seat,eager to get the information they had been waiting so long for.

"Whats his name?"Zack asked.

"Whats does he look like?"Angela asked.

"Whats his weapon of choice?"Hodgins asked.

"Whats his motive?."Cam asked.

"Where is he?"Sully asked.

"He is tall maybe 5'11. His weapon of choice is whatevers handy. Mostly a gun,knife and crowbar. I don't know his motive. He lived right outside DC."Alexandria said.

"Whats his name?"Zack repeated.

"He calls himself Howard Epps."

A/N-OMG Howard Epps. Back from the dead???...No...Yes...No...Hmmm...Another cliffy. I love cliffys. I know this chapter was short but that is because my carpal tunnle is acting up and I couldn't type anymore. The next chapter will be up soon. I promise! Oh and just so I don't get in trouble...

Disclaimer-I do not own Bones or Howard Epps. I do own Alexandria.

Is that a valid disclaimer. I hope so.
