Fifteen minutes later the group waved Charlie off, as they reached their destination. Parker was excited because he got to hand out with the Bug Man, much to Booth's dismay. Sully was nervous about seeing these people again. Booth pulled Brennen off to the side just before they reached the door to the Jeffersonian.

"Look Bones, lets..."

"Not tell the squint squad?" Brennen laughed with a knowing smile.

"See Bones you can read people, have you been holding out on me during interrogations?" Booth reached down and lifted Brennen's chin with his finger, making her look into his eyes.

"No I can only read you Booth, you wear your heart on your cuff" Booth laughed and pulled her closer.

"Sleeve Bones, you wear your heart on you sleeve" Brennen glanced down embarrassed until Booth lifted her chin again and smiled.

"Come ON you guys!" Parker started to tug on Booth's jacket, Booth groaned and laced his fingers with Bones'. Parker and Sully we already waiting at the second set of doors when Booth and Brennen walked in. Brennen quickly removed her hand when she saw Angela running through the lab towards the group.

"BREN! Oh my gosh I was so scared when you texted me earlier!? What happened?" She turned to Sully who was still pale. "Was anybody hurt, hows your arm nice choice on the cast color, hey Parker I didn't even see you there!" Angela started to talk so fast that her words started to blend together.

"Angela Breathe" Booth laughed.

"Bren your coming with me, Booth Cam had some...sciency thing she needed to talk to you about." Sully and Parker glanced at each other, then at the adults.

"Parker, Hey man what's up long time no see."

"Dr. Hodgins!" Parker squealed as he saw one of his favorite squints saunter up to the group.

"I have some cool new experiments for You, Sully and I to try out." Parker's eyes widened and Sully couldn't help but smile at the excitement that she could feel pulsing between the two boys.

"Experiments Dr. Hodgins?" Cam walked up to the group gathered.

"Uh...well they're all safe and...won't cause damage and...." Cam rolled her eyes as Hodgins tried to explain. Cam sighed and gave in.

"Fine you three go have fun." Parker and Hodgins turned on their heels when all of a sudden they heard a voice that hadn't been heard before.

"Wait" all four adults were stunned when the mysterious teen spoke. Sully took a deep breath and spoke again.

"86TYR7"

"What?" Booth glanced at the other confused adults.

"That was the license plate number on the truck that shot at us." All of the adults eyes widened in shock, Booth was the first to compose himself and reacted quickly.

"Okay I'm gonna get a BOLO on that truck we've got work to do people"

"Dad does that mean and can't go with Dr. Hodgins?" Booth looked down at his pleading son.

"I'm sorry bub the bug man has some work to do...why don't you and Sully go up to the lounge and hang out and then we'll figure something out okay?" Parker narrowed his eyes in the same way Booth did when he thought.

"Fine, but you owe me!" Parker laughed, grabbed Sully's hand and started to pull her towards the stairway that led to the lounge above the Jeffersonian lab.

Booth glanced around only to find the area where the squints had stood around him empty. He caught a fleeting glance of Brennen looking over her shoulder giving him a flirtatious smile as she ducked into her office. Booth looked Both ways around the lab to make sure no nosey squints her looking in his direction and then made a beeline for Brennen's office.

Sully followed an excited Parker up the stairs and then the platform that skirted the upper level of the Jeffersonian. Sully looked out over the lab where the scientists working below looked like ants. She turned to see the Mini-Booth digging through one of the boxes that held odd nick-knacks that had been abandoned. Sully stood up and triumphantly held a deck of cards above his head.

"Hey Sully you know how to play go fish?" Sully smiled and grabbed a pillow like Parker and leaned against the couch while sitting on the ground. Parker placed the cards between them and dealt the cards between the two of them. Parker fanned his cards out while Sully struggled to grip them in her hand with the cast awkwardly since she couldn't move her thumb. Parker raised an eyebrow and casually began to play the game.

"Got any...three's?" Sully panned through her cards.

"Go fish, so Parker how long have your dad and Dr. Brennen been dating?" She knew the answer but wanted to see if Parker knew anything about the couple.

"They're dating!? Seriously...that's GREAT! I thought...Angela just has to here about this!" Parker started to get up from the ground but Sully was quicker and pulled him back down. She put a finger to her lips and shushed him.

"Shhhh...If they haven't been dating then they probably want to tell people themselves!" Parker thought about this.

"Well, I guess but this is amazing! I knew dad was in love with Dr. Brennen but she loves him back." Parker smiled. "Got any sixes?"

"Hey it's my turn! In that case do you have any sixes?" Parker sighed and handed over the cards.

"How did you meet my dad?" Sully's eyes clouded and Parker suddenly felt bad. "You don't have to tell me if you don't wanna..." He looked down at the carpet. Sully smiled at the boys sincerity.

"My brother is the victim...I..We, we were foster kids. We had been in and out of foster homes our whole lives. My father was a drunk and used to hit us when we messed up or just whenever." She saw Parker's eyes widen in shock and she took a deep breath before continuing.

"He used to hit my mother too and one day she just disappeared. He said that she, that she left because of me and Rob." He heard the hitch in her voice and saw her eyes brimmed with tears.

"Rob used to try to stop him but he would only hit him harder. One day he said that we should run away, we waited until night than snuck out of the house. We were on our own for a week before the police found us and we were sent back to our house, my dad pretended that he missed us. I knew it was too good to be true, as soon as the police officer pulled away he brought us into the house and practically threw us down the cellar steps." Sully felt the tears start to flow down her cheeks and she wiped them off with the back of her hand. Parker got up and found a box of tissues, he hadn't meant for this to happen but he didn't want to hurt Sully so he thought it would be best for her to finish the story.

"He locked the door to the cellar for I don't know how many days. How many days we spent in the dark room. We could barely see, the only light was a small window that barley let any light in. We could tell when it was night and day but thats all, I probably wouldn't have made it if it hadn't been for Rob. One night I woke up to see Rob hiding near the bottom of the stairs listening to the voices above us. I couldn't make out voices other then my father's yelling." Parker placed his hand on top of hers. She smiled gratefully at the little boy and smiled when he nodded for her to continue.

"I couldn't tell how long it was but soon the voices stopped and I heard sirens. Soon after that we heard heavy footsteps and a police man smashed open the basement door and paramedics came down towards us. As we walked up stairs squinting at the bright light from the kitchen I saw my, my father's body. He was a bloody and his face was all smashed in. I couldn't believe it, this man who was so awful to us, he was dead and even though he was an awful man. He was still my father. After that we were tossed from foster home to foster home. No one really cared about us. When me and Rob were separated we had decided to meet each other on the first saturday of each month in the park. Thats where I found his his body." Parker winced as Sully tried to control her sobs. Parker pushed the cards aside and sat next to Sully still holding her hand. Soon Sully's sobs quieted and she started to speak again.

"I was only there for a total of two days. There was a makeshift fort and and Rob's body was just lying there in the fort. I had only been there for a couple of hours when I hear voices, there was no where to hide so I climbed the tree. I couldn't see any of the people but as it got dark I started to get tired. I could still hear the people below me and knew I had no chance of sneaking down. I had started to nod of and my foot slipped and snapped a branch. The voices stopped and someone threw I rock I ducked out of the way but slipped and slammed my wrist against the trunk. I jumped from the tree and ran as fast as I could into the woods. It was dark and the men gave up quickly. The next morning I went back to the fort and the men had moved Rob's body out of the fort. I had no idea what to do but within the hour I heard sirens. I had no choice and I climbed the tree again. Soon your dad came and then he helped me." Parker smiled at the girl and turned and gave her a hug, Sully felt better and hugged the little boy back. She felt, for the first time in a long time, cared about.
