Chapter 4

While Booth and Bones were reading the note that Lacey wrote before she got kidnapped, she was sitting on the chair trying to think of ways that she could escape.

"I think that you should stop doing that right now." One of the kidnappers said as he walked over to her.

Lacey looked at the man and said. "You know the kid that you were trying to kidnap? That was my older brother's kid. My older brother who also happens to be an FBI agent."

The man slapped Lacey and then walked back to the place where he was standing before he noticed that Lacey was doing. "That may be. But I wonder how long I will take your brother to find you. Especially after reading the note that you left him. He probably never liked you anyway."

Lacey shook her head. "My brother and I may have had our differences when it comes to our relationship, but I know that there is no way that he would leave me alone."

Meanwhile while Lacey was trying to figure out ways to escape, Booth was trying to think of places where she could be kept at.

Sweets knocked on Booth's office door "Are you doing ok, Booth?" he said as he sat down in one of the chairs that was across from the chair that Booth was sitting in.

Booth shook his head. "No I'm not Sweets. My sister was kidnapped in place of my daughter. How exactly am I supposed to feel about that right now?"

"Booth, as difficult as this might be for you to hear right now; it seems to me that Lacey got kidnapped because she knew how much you and Dr. Brennan love Christine and she decided to make sure that nothing happened to her." Sweets said as he tried to talk some sense into his friend.

Booth chuckled slightly. "I know Sweets. But I just got Lacey back into my life and I've lost her again already." He said as he pulled out a picture of him and Lacey when they were kids.

"You can still get her back, Booth. You just have to figure out where she is" Sweets said as took the picture from Booth's hands and laid it on his desk.

Just then Booth's phone rang. "Booth."

"Hello, Agent Booth. You are probably wondering who this is right?" Booth heard a man's voice said.

"What have you done with my sister?" Booth said as he felt his blood begin to boil

"Nothing yet, Booth. She's fine right now. However long she stays that way is completely up to you." The man said.

"Let me talk to her please?" Booth said, needing to know that Lacey really was alright. He started to calm down as soon as he heard her voice. "Seeley?"

"Lacey, Are you alright? They haven't hurt you in anyway?" Booth said, scared that Lacey was only putting on a brave voice just for him.

"No. But I'm starting to worry, Seeley. I don't know how much time I'm going to have before they do start to hurt me." She said as she tried to let Booth know about her situation.

"Listen to me, Lacey. I'm going to get you out of there if it's the last thing that I do." Booth said before he heard Lacey being pulled away from the phone.

"I'll give you 24 hours to try to figure out where we are. After that, we will start to hurt her. The longer that it takes you the more you won't recognize her when you do find her." The man said.

"I'll find her and when I do, I'll make you wish that you never took her in the first place!" Booth said as he hung up the phone and walked out of his office.
