Chapter 2

A/N: Here is chapter 2 of my Bones story. I'm glad that there are people who are enjoying so far. Thank you to those who have put this story on either alert or favorites. It means a great deal to me that there are people who like my stories.

As soon as they walked into the lab, the four went up to the platform and Bones and Cam got started working. Booth stood at the edge of the table where the body was and took out the notecards that he kept in his pockets and started to write notes on what Bones and Cam were saying about the body.

"There are a lot of bugs and dirt that we are going to need to go through so that we can get a time of death." Bones said and at that moment, Lacey watched as a man walked up to the pile of dirt and started to go through it like a little kid opening his Christmas presents. He was working for a few minutes until he felt a presence standing behind him "Can I help you?" He said as he saw Lacey standing over him.

"This looks very interesting; I was just trying to get a better look. Sorry." Lacey said as she walked back towards Booth.

"No it's alright. I just never had anyone interested in my line of work. It caught me off guard. Who are you anyway?" Hodgins said as he looked up at her.

"This is Lacey and she is my little sister." Booth said as he put his arm around her.

"Wow. I didn't know you had a sister, Booth." Angie Montenegro said as she came up onto the platform hearing what Booth had told her husband.

"Yeah. Booth and I don't have a very tight relationship. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I've watched the news and every time I see his name in it; all I can think of is that my brother is doing something great in the world."

Zack, Bones's intern looked at her. "How can your relationship be tight? That is not logical.

Booth looked at Lacey with tears in his eyes. "I didn't know that you felt that way about me." And then he turned to Zack and said. "What she meant is that we don't have a close relationship."

Lacey hugged her brother. "You've always been a hero to me Seeley. And now other people get to see that as well."

Cam watched the two siblings for a few minutes before she said. "Don't you have something better to do instead of standing around doing nothing, Lacey?"

Everyone besides Lacey and Booth looked at Cam in shock. Lacey stood there for a few minutes before looking at Booth. "As much as I'd love to observe some more. I do have other places to be. I'll pick Christine up from school for you and Bones, If that's ok."

Bones and Brennan looked at each other for a few minutes and then Bones looked at Lacey. "Are you sure? I can have my Dad get her."

Lacey shook her head. "I wouldn't have offered if I did. Besides, I could get to know her a little better." She said as she walked off the platform and out the door.

Bones looked at Booth and motioned him towards the office and as soon as they walked in, she closed the door. "Why did Cam talk to your sister like she did, Booth? I thought Cam got along with anybody."

Booth sighed. "It all dates back to when Cam and I were going out the first time. Besides our mother, Lacey was the only other woman in my life and then Cam came into my life."

Bones nodded her head. "She thought that Cam was stealing you from her."

Booth nodded. "I began to ignore Lacey completely. I went so far as to call her the pesky little sister and that I didn't want her around. Even after Cam and I broke up, Lacey thought that I hated her and we never were the same again."

"What are you going to do about it, Booth?"

Booth looked at his wife. "I'm going to try to make it up to her. I've always hated myself for the way that I've treated her."

While Booth and Bones were talking, Lacey and Christine were at the house watching Toy Story when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. Lacey got up from her place on the couch and looked out of the peek hole.

Lacey ran back to the living, turned off the movie and pulled Christine close. "We have to move, now."

Christine looked at her aunt with fear in her eyes. "Who is at the door? What do they want?"

Lacey hugged Christine with one arm while pulling out her cell with the others. "I need you to call your Daddy and tell him that there are bad men trying to get in the house and that they are hurting me."

Christine nodded her head, took the cell and hid in the dryer. After making sure that Christine was safe, she went and met the men at the door. "Where is the girl?"

"I don't know. And even if I did, I'd never let you take her." Lacey said as she put her hands in fists ready to fight, but she didn't get the chance; she felt the butt of a gun hit her head and before she blacked out she had one thought. "I'm sorry Seeley."

A/N: I know that I said that Lacey was going to meet Sweets this chapter, but I decided to go this way instead. Sweets will be in the story, I promise you.
