We walked in this huge building. I mean huge! There was a raised platform in the middle of this almost dome like room and there were people running around on top of it. There were several rooms around it and we started towards one.
Someone yelled from behind us, "Booth!" We both turned and I almost saluted out of instinct. Military school had done me some good perhaps.
"Cam, hey," my brother sounded almost awkward I want to say.
"Are you looking for Dr. Brennan?"
"Yeah she called and told me to come over here right away."
"Yes well we found the murder weapon. She should be in her office."
"Ok thanks."
"Wait, who is this?" she indicated me.
"Oh that's just Tori."
"Any particular reason that a teenage girl is following you around? Not that she is a threat or anything, but you are working a very high profile case right now."
"We're just hanging out for awhile."
"You're hanging out with a teenager?"
"Look I'll explain later." With that he walked away and I followed suit because I was not about to get lost in this place.
We halted in front of an office with the name plate 'Dr. Temperance Brennan' and Seeley turned to me, "Just keep it quiet in here like you did with Cam and it'll be over before you know it."
"I got it." He gave me a stern look and then walked into the office.
"Bones."
"Hey Booth. Ok I used Angela's new program and we found the murder weapon. It was a butcher's knife. Are you thinking what I am?"
"One of the victims had a brother that was a butcher. Well let's go get him."
"Wait, Booth, who is this?"
"This is Tori."
"Well I don't think she can really come with us to arrest a guy."
"Good point. Can she stay here?"
"Seeley, I don't even know any of these people." He can't just pawn me off on unsuspecting strangers.
"Well you can get to know them."
"I'm sure Angela wouldn't mind her staying in her office for awhile."
"What was I just volunteered for?" A lovely brunette was standing in the doorway, she looked pretty cool.
"We need to go so can you watch her?"
"Sure."
"I'm not five, I don't need to be watched." He was already walking away. "Then again I don't really have a choice."
Angela turned to me and held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Angela."
I took it, "Tori."
"So why are you with Booth exactly? You are way too young to be a girlfriend."
"Gross. I don't know if I should say anything, but I'm his little sister." She took my hand and pulled me towards another office.
Meanwhile Booth and Bones drove off and caught themselves another bad guy. Getting back into the SUV a conversation was started up as usual.
"Tori seems nice, she was awfully quiet though. Who is she?'
"Look, Bones, the situation with Tori is complicated. I really should have made her go to the apartment."
"That doesn't really answer my question you know?"
"Yeah I know. Will you not be mad or shocked or anything if I tell you who she is?"
"That depends on who she is." He looked at her with that Booth look for when he needed her cooperation. "Ok I won't."
"Victoria is my little sister. About five years ago she went to Military school and ever since I guess I just haven't mentioned her."
"So over the last couple years you just forgot you had a sister and neglected to tell your partner, whom you are supposed to trust with your life, that you had a little sister?"
"No it's not like that at all. I never forgot about Tori and I didn't tell you because I didn't know how."
"How hard is it to say I have a little sister in Military school?" Anger was slowly rising in her. She couldn't believe that Booth had kept something this big from her.
"It's just that my family is a little complicated and I don't like to talk about it."
"You didn't have to explain your whole family, Booth, just the fact that you had another sibling! What else are you hiding?"
"Nothing, I swear! Please don't be mad."
"How could I not be mad after you kept something like that from me for so long? How can I trust you?"
A/N: I thought that I should leave it there for you guys for now. Aren't I nice?
I love all of your reviews and more would be helpful.
