Chapter 33- Final Showdown, Part I
Brennan buried her hands under her blanket trying to mask the shaking, "What kind of news?" she asked.
Sully just sighed and stared at Brennan and Booth.
"Sully, "Booth said "Are you not saying what I think you're not saying."
Sully looked at Booth, eyes full of rage, and nodded.
"When?" Booth asked.
"What the hell is going on?" Brennan demanded.
"About twenty minutes ago." Sully said ignoring Brennan's question.
"What happened twenty minutes ago?!." Brennan shouted.
Booth grabbed Brennan's hand. "Montoya escaped from police custody."
Brennan yanked her hand away. He had escaped. The man who nearly ruined her life was loose and coming for her.
"How did he escape?"Brennan asked.
"He killed the warden at the courthouse holding cell, put on his clothes, kept his head down. Walked right out the back door." Sully explained.
"You're not serious,"Booth said "How in the hell was he permitted to just waltz out the back door? Were the guards high or something?"
"There was chaos in the courtroom the other two guards were there. One man witnessed Montoya kill the warden but he's no help." Sully shrugged
"Why, he's not talking?" Booth spat.
"He's schizophrenic and off his meds. He says that Greek gods broke Montoya out. He kept calling him Zeus."
Brennan sat still in her bed listening to Booth and Sully talk, Her head was still spinning trying to comprehend what was happening. Edward managed to escape and now he's coming for her. He's coming here for her. He's going to kill her and take her baby.
"I want her in here." Brennan whispered.
"Her who?" Sully asked.
"Kaitlin," Brennan said, throwing off her blankets. "I want my daughter in this room with me right now."
"Ok Bones, I'll go get her. You stay here." Booth said.
"No, I'm going with you. I need to go with you." Brennan said.
"No." Booth said. Brennan glared at him and with one strong yank she tore out her IV and got to her feet.
"My daughter is in danger and I am going to get her." she said making her way to the door. Sully jumped in front of the door, blocking her way.
"You don't want to get my way." Brennan said. Suddenly she felt the pain of her injuries. No IV, no morphine. She grunted as she stood firmly in front of Sully "Out of my way, Sully." she grunted.
"Sully,"Booth said. He motioned with his head for Sully to move. "You don't get between a lioness and her cubs."
"Thank you."Brennan mouthed as she left the room.
As Brennan slowly made her way down the hall she could feel Booth and Sully on her heels.
"Hospital is now on complete lock-down. The only way in is if your on a gurney. Pictures of Montoya are with every cop and every guard. If he tries to get in, we'll get him."Sully said.
"Good, put an extra guard on the nursery and Bones' room, just in case."Booth said.
Brennan rounded a corner, just one more hallway before the nursery. As she walked she thought she could hear a man singing. Thinking it was all in her head Brennan kept walking. As she got closer to the corner, the voice got more clear. She stopped dead in her tracks. The voice, now crystal clear, sent panic coursing through Brennan's veins.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are,"
"Bones?" Booth was at her side in an instant
"He's here." Brennan whispered.
"What the hell are you talking about." Booth asked.
"Don't you hear that?" Brennan asked staring towards the corner. Booth stared with her and listened.
"Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky,"
"Oh my God,"Booth mumbled "Sully! He's at the nursery!"
"How the hell did he get past lock down?" Sully spat.
"Probably snuck in before the hospital went under lock down." Booth said taking his gun out of his holster, aiming it in front of him.
The pain of her injuries overwhelmed Brennan as she slid down the wall, "Booth, it's all over." She whispered.
Booth dropped to his knees next to Brennan "He'll have to kill me first. I'll get her to you safe and sound, I promise." Brennan watched Booth and Sully, guns cocked and ready, round the corner.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are."
Booth and Sully watched Edward turn towards them, his face twisted into an evil grin. "Hello Agents. Nice of you to come and visit."
A/N- R&R be kind as always.
