Chapter 32

Plans

New years had come a week ago. Peter decided not to stay with us. Jack got him a plane ticked to Main where he was going to stay with Nancy and James, along with getting to know his new niece Betty. Booth has talked to Jackie, who had to admit that the only way was to sue for custody. Jackie invited me to lunch to discuss some things. We arrived at Panera Bread and ordered a couple of sandwiches. We found a seat after we got our food and got down to the nasty business.

"Will you testify if this goes to family court?" I was not expecting that. When Booth asked if I would help I thought he meant help as in help him get his argument strait and such. I took a bite of my sandwich while I pondered it.

"If this goes to court then I will testify…though I fail to grasp what my testimony will show."

"Your testimony will explain at a psychological stand point why Parker should be with Booth." Another bite, another wonderful taste! Court, when if ever had I testified…not in any American court that's for sure. I had observed during my forensic studies.

"I'll do it."

"That was fast." responded Jackie with her mouth full.

"I want to help Parker and Booth." she smiled "I'll just need to professionally observe Parker and Booth interacting." she nodded.

"Next! Have you talked to Zach about the wedding at all?"

"Jacks, I got affianced two weeks ago." That didn't seem to stop her from pushing at me with the question. "No we haven't. I thought we'd wait until Jack and Angela marry."

"You won't have enough time to do all of the wedding stuff by April if you start mid February. Jack and Angela had since November to plan." I hadn't really thought that much about it. Zack and I had agreed on one thing: It would be a small wedding. The bigger it was the more of a headache it would cause us.

"I'll talk to Zack about it today, alright?" she nodded.

We finished our meals and she headed to her office, while I headed to the Jeffersonian. Everyone was doing paperwork while Cam was doing an Autopsy. Zack walked into my office as soon as I got in.

"How was your lunch with Jackie?" he asked.

"It went well…she made me think of a few things." He gestured me to elaborate. He sat down on the couch. "It's about the wedding. She thinks it would be better for us to start planning early since it takes a while to plan it all." I hung my coat onto the rack.

"I purchased a book on wedding planning." he explained. "It's supposed to take you through it step by step."

"Well, first we would have to sent invites and figure out where we're going to get married."

"Jack kept hinting that we should get married at the house." explained Zack. "Perhaps it isn't a bad idea?"

"The backyard has enough room for plenty of people." I grabbed a pad and pen. I sat down on the couch next to him. "We should make a list of everyone who we wish to invite. Let's start with your side." Forty family members, check, the Jeffersonian crew plus Michelle plus date and Parker, check. Sweets, check, Jack, as Zack's best man, check.

My side, Mom and Dad plus Peter and his boyfriend Sam, Andy and Adam, Saph and her date, check. James and Nancy with Betty, check, Donato and his mother, check, though I wasn't sure if they would be up to it. Jackie would be my maid of honor that much was established and my sisters would be my bridesmaids. I had to invite Dr. Hawass and some of our old teachers. I could invite an old friend from Quantico."Oh and Zack can you do me one small yet extremely important favor?"

"Of course,"

"No blue tux." he did not respond. "The one you wore to Jack and Angela's almost wedding. You remember."

Angela and Jack had run out of the church leaving the rest of us to head to the reception party. I did not bring a date and neither did Zack. So we decided to hang out together away from the other guests of the almost wedding,

I had received a letter from Dr. Hawass asking me to be his partner in Egypt for a year long expedition to find Kya, the lost mother of King Tut. Zack and I wondered away from the others and sat down outside.

I handed him my letter and he skimmed it over.

"Egypt?" he asked. His blue tux did not seem to fit him. He looked awful in it, like a seal wearing a whale suit. Perhaps it wasn't exactly like that, but close enough.

"Yeah, it's the chance of a lifetime. I'm leaving soon and I…I wanted to know what my best friend thought about It." secretly I had hoped he would tell me that he needed me and that he wanted me to stay. Of course I wasn't prepared for what he had to say.

"I think its great." he replied and handed me his letter. He watched as I read it over.

I starred at him. "Iraq?"

"It's from the President. He says it is an honor to serve your country and Booth seemed to enjoy the service." I read over his flight instructions.

"We have the same army flight except I get off at the pit stop in Egypt." I said.

"This will give us a chance to catch up." he said. "It has been a while since we have had time to really sit down and talk, much like now."

"Yeah, I've been busy with studies and you have been immensely indulged in your work."

All of a sudden I became very quiet. How could I forget about the biggest pain in my behind? Jonah! I hadn't heard from him and that worried me.

"Althy what's wrong?" asked Zack wrapping an arm around me.

"I don't know Zach, I feel like something bad is going to happen."

"How can you feel something bad is about to happen?"

"I don't know Zach…I just know. Jonah has stopped his foolish attempts."

"Is that not a good thing?"

"Yes, yet I can't help but think that he did this way too easily." He grabbed my hand; kissing it softly. There was a small bit of reassurance in that gesture that seemed to make me feel better. I leaned into him. "Thanks Zach."

"But I didn't do anything."

"Oh, but you did." I said. My cell phone rang loudly. I picked it up and answered. "Hello…" The man on the line explained that there was some confusion with my credit card and that I had to get there immediately to explain it.

I agreed and grabbed my purse. I walked out of the Jeffersonian and took the elevator to the garage where my car waited for me. Someone grabbed me from behind and placed chloroform on a hanky over my mouth and nose nocking me out cold.

I woke up sometime later, but I could not move. My hands and feet were tied to a surprisingly comfortable chair. My eyes were extremely heavy and I had a hard time opening them.

"Don't worry baby, your safe now." said an all too familiar voice. I did not have to open my eyes to know who was speaking.

Nevertheless I opened my sluggish eyes and starred through my glasses at the nutcase Jonah. I was trapped in hell and I had no way of escaping. "I'm going to take good care of you."

"When will you get it through your thick head that I hate you and love Zack? Honestly even my dad is finally happy."

"You ought to be nice to me; Althea….but then it doesn't really matter since I have a plan to eliminate the small obstacle that is in the path of our love."

"Trust me there is no obstacle." I replied. "I don't love you."

"But you will Althea, once I get rid of Zack Addy." My eyes widened and my hands began to shake ever so slightly, since I was tied to a chair.

Jonah sat across the room in a less then comfy chair of a basement. There was a yellow round table and a small bed with a handmade blanket. A voice from above called for Jonah, a feminine voice.

"Still living with your mommy Jonah?"

"No….my mother lives with me." He protested. A voice from upstairs called for Jonah again. "I'm coming." I saw my bag on the table next to me. Jonah came back a few minutes later with some mini pizzas and a really old and really ugly wedding dress for the 1960's. "Put on the dress, a bride needs a wedding dress. You need your strength my dear. Now I will untie you, but if you hurt me I will hurt you and kill your boyfriend."

"Fiancée" I corrected, "Fine I won't." Truthfully I wanted to cut his manhood off. Jonah did not look good. He had bruises and bags under his eyes. (A/N Heh, no doubt from the beating you guys and I gave him).

He untied me and ran quickly out of the room after placing the small pizza's on the table. I quickly checked the door. It was locked and so were the windows.

I could hear Jonah talking to himself.

"Once she finishes I will ship her fancy bag to the Jeffersonian so all will know that she belongs to me."

Shipping my bag to the Jeffersonian gave me an idea. I ignored the mini pizzas and went to my purse, my cell phone was missing, but I wasn't looking for that….darn so was my ipod. I was looking for a small white pen with a feather coming out of it, a bottle of ink and a notepad. When in doubt always carry with you a small bottle of invisible ink.

Just in case Jonah had the needed equipment to read my note I decoded it in the best way I knew by writing it out in one of the most ancient languages: Hebrew. I quickly rote it, not in the neatest manner, but who cares. I quickly put it into the bag and put on the ugliest dress in the world.

Psycho boy came back and took my purse. "I'll deliver this personally to the Jeffersonian," he muttered. He was going to pay….oh yes…

Meanwhile at the Jeffersonian I had been gone for several hours and wasn't answering my cell phone, shocking isn't it.

Zack was getting worried. He continued attempting to reach me. When he gave up he realized that someone had left him a message. He played it and paled.

"Zach what's wrong?" asked Jack as he walked up to Zack's station on the platform. The look on Zack's face was displeasing. Zack did not reply. He instead replayed the message.

"Hello Dr. Addy, I do hope you remember me. I want you to forget about your darling Althea she is in the hands of a better man now. Say good-bye, forever"

"We have to tell Booth." said Jack quickly and the two ran off to find their FBI friend.

AH I told you Jonah was coming back for one last parade. This story will of course be ending soon. But in order to finish it I need a little help before hand. The final chapter will probably be the wedding of Althy and Zack, but before that happens what else should happen? PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!
