Sorry for taking soooo long to update, but I haven't had a lot of time on the computer lately so it's kind of hard. But I'm back! And I'm gonna try to update as much as possible! Enjoy!
Chapter Eleven: Captive
Booth and Temperance lay in their beds on either side of their shared room, trying as hard as they could to, but failing miserably.
Booth couldn't stop thinking about his little boy, locked away in the castle. How was he going to get him out of there? He was always followed by guards and nannies, which, at one time, had been loyal to him, but they betrayed him, just like his unfaithful wife, Rebecca. He would have to find a way to get back in or get Parker out. He couldn't just do nothing.
Meanwhile, Temperance lay on her side, facing the wall, letting a couple of tears fall as she thought about her parents. She now knew why they left. It was to protect her, but why had her brother, Russ, left? It just didn't make any sense. If they had taken him, wouldn't they have taken her as well? Or if he had left on his own accord...No! Why would he when he had his little sister to take care of and protect? No, somebody must have taken him. That had to be it! Somebody had captured her. The thought didn't make her feel much better but it gave some ease at the possibility that he hadn't left her by choice and she closed her eyes, willing sleep to come to her.
Two hours later, just as everything was quiet and everybody was sleeping, there was a loud banging at the door.
Booth was the first to wake up and rushed out of bed to Temperance, who had shot up in bed, and was looking all around her, confused.
"What happened?" she asked as he helped her out of bed. He scooped her into his arms and carried her out the bedroom door with out a fight. She was too tired to fight and instead wrapped her arms around his neck and lay her head on his shoulder.
Before she knew it, she was being placed on Cam and Michelle's shared bed in their room. Both mother and daughter were awake, and huddled together on the end of the bed, asking what was going on.
Booth leaned down next to Cam's ear. "There's somebody at the door."
Cam nodded and pulled on a robe, walking out of the room to answer the door, while Booth and Temperance stay back to comfort Michelle, whose tears fell freely.
There was the sound of the door being opened and then a large sigh of relief from Cam. "Thank goodness!" she said loudly, and Temperance automatically shot out of bed and ran out the door to the main room before Booth could stop her, and the sight she met was unbelievable.
"Angela!" she cried, throwing herself into her best friends arms, careful not to crush Lance, who was sobbing on her shoulder, and barely noticing that Angela had tears in her eyes as well until she pulled back. "Ange?" she asked, concerned, "are you alright?"
Angela shook her head, with tears streaming down her face. "They...they took Jack."
