17. Threat
One minute Jimmy Kosinski was sat at the bar, the next he was pressed against the nearest wall by Seeley Booth.
"Seeley, didn't expect to see you here, last I heard that smoking hot wife—"
"Listen to me, Jimmy. I don't know how the hell you got my address, but I swear to god if you ever go there again, if you ever hurt my family again, I will not hesitate to bury you in a mountain of charges that will land you a very long prison sentence."
"Hey, now, I didn't hurt your wife or your kid, just told her that you owed me money and if you weren't around to pay then she was required to, which she did."
"You hurt her. You want to know how I know, my wife does not ask for help, ever. But, she told Aubrey, she got Aubrey to give you the money because she was scared for her own wellbeing, and for our children. I can handle Bones asking me to leave, however I cannot handle the fact that every time I see my daughter she asks me whether the mean man is going to come back to the house to get her daddy."
"Well you reassure her that won't be happening, unless it needs to."
"I can assure you, it won't."
"I've heard that from a lot of guys, Seeley, they always come back."
"Not me, I'm done."
"I bet you said that the first time, that you'd never do it again and look what happened— you fell off the wagon, Seeley, you're an addict, you'll do it again and again, and each time you'll try to hide it but—"
Booth's fist collided with the bookies jaw, knocking him to the floor before he flew out the door.
