Chapter Sixteen: The Dungeon
As soon as Hodgins saw who was coming through the dungeon doors, his heart pounded and he was filled with a sense of hope.
Parker lead the way in, making sure his old great-grandfather was asleep before leading his guests in, after him, signaling to Hodgins not to make any noise whatsoever.
Hodgins nodded and positively beamed when he saw his wife and son enter the room. As did Daisy.
Angela ran towards him with tears in her eyes, and reached for his hand. "Jack!" she whispered, urgently, kissing him passionately before allowing him to hug his son through the bars and letting him latch hands with Daisy.
"Lancelot!" Daisy squealed silently.
"Daisy!" Lance squealed back.
Angela smiled at the toddlers, finally reunited after all this time, just like herself and her husband.
Temperance smiled at this display and looked down at Parker, who had tears in his eyes. She instantly put her arm around him and pulled him close, kneeling down next to him to give him a well-deserved hug. "Thank you so much." She whispered in his ear.
"Your welcome." Parker said, in a shaky voice.
Temperance pulled away slightly and smiled at him, before noticing something very odd. "Where's the maid, Caroline?" she asked, searching the dungeon for her, but only seeing Hodgins and Daisy.
Parker looked down and shook his head sadly. Temperance got the message and a few tears sprung to her eyes at the loss of the kind-hearted old woman that treated Lance as if he were her own.
Temperance wiped the tears from her eyes and got up, walking towards the cell with Parker in tow.
She put on a happy face for the small family and hugged Hodgins and Daisy through the bars, before turning back to Parker.
"Is there any way to get them out of here?" she asked him.
Parker shook his head. "If the try to escape, Pops will wake up and kill them and all intruders. He has no control over it. And the only person who can free them is the king, himself, and that won't be happening anytime soon." Parker explained, sadly, thinking of his greedy, power-hungry uncle.
"But there has to be a way." Temperance said, then suddenly a light bulb went off in her head. "Wait, what if there were to be a sudden change in power?"
Parker furrowed his brow. "What, you mean overpowering the king?"
Temperance smiled slyly. "Or the king dying suddenly and the next in line taking the throne."
Parker gasped. "Me?"
Temperance smiled widely and nodded. "Of course. Who else?"
Booth paced the floor of the bookstore, obviously distressed, alerting a few of Cam's customers, who couldn't seem to take their eyes off him.
Cam furrowed her brows at him as she gave one very concerned patron his change and started towards him, stopping him in his tracks as she pulled him to the back of the store.
"Seeley, will you relax?" she said through gritted teeth.
Booth frowned at her. "No, I will not, Camille, because we sent them into the palace more than twenty-four hours ago and we've gotten no word from them since then." he seethed.
"They will be fine, Booth. But they have to make sure everything is safe first, before they can send anything." Cam tried to soothe him with her words but it didn't work.
Booth still panicked. "But what if Jared's caught them? What if he has them condemned to death? What if-?"
"Booth!" Cam practically shouted, alerting a few nearby patrons. "They'll be fine. They can take care of themselves, all right?"
Booth took a deep breath and nodded, but of course, couldn't just believe that they were really alright, especially not with this gut-wrenching feeling coming from deep within his stomach.
Uh-oh! Booth's gut feelings are telling him trouble is on the way! That usually spells trouble! Is he right? Or will Brennan's plan work? Find out sooner if u review!
