79. Lunatic
"Angie—"
"They're just babies, Hodgins, they shouldn't have to go through this."
"We're going to find them, Angie, I promise you, we will find them."
"You can't promise that!"
"Angela—"
"No, do you see those three children—"
She turned, pointing inside her office where Christine, Henry and Addison were playing.
"Some lunatic has taken their parents and there is nothing we can do to bring them back if they're already dead."
"Angie, listen to me—" Hodgins reached out, wiping the tears from his wife's face, "We're going to find them, and then we're going to take the children to see them, and you can cry some more, okay?"
"What if we don't find them?"
"We keep going until we do."
"Jack! Angela!"
The shout came from the lab entrance, a frantic Parker heading towards them.
"What happened? What's going on?"
An explanation was delayed as Cam headed towards them.
"Aubrey just got a call, patrols found Booth's SUV, it was empty and both of their cell phones were in there."
"Guys, what's going on? Where are Dad and Bones?"
"We don't know where they are." Hodgins explained, "They went to follow a lead this morning, no one was there to pick up the kids after school so we bought them straight here and called you."
"Has there— has there been a ransom call?"
"I have all our phones hooked up to the Angelatron, FBI techs are covering the house and your apartment, so far nothing."
"Have you—"
"We're doing everything we can, Parker, believe me. I have every employee we have on their way in, I'm going to— to the crime scene right now, we're not risking anything."
"I'm going to go, and err— sit with the munchkins for a while."
"Parker?"
"Yeah, Angela?"
"I'll call Aubrey for you, get you an escort home and agents stationed outside the house, so you can take them home, okay?"
"Thank you."
