Hello everyone, thank you for the reviews and alerts, i'm glad you like my work. Here is the chapter no 3 where Booth and Brennan try to do something for their child...

Enjoy...

Booth hadn't left Brennan from his arms as she still cried. In other times, yes, the tears would fell and she would turn in Booth's arms for support, she was collapsing like she had the day she learnt about her mother, so many years ago, and now she was falling apart again because of her daughter, the reason of her nightmares had kidnapped her only child.

She knew too much about the human body of a three month old, she knew a wrong movement, a jerk, practically anything could kill or severely damage her little daughter, knowing the Grave Digger had her as to actually hurt her made Bones' stomach drop and more tears ran down her eyes.

Booth kept the little note with Danielle's handwriting. With this action, everyone seemed to snap out of their stupor, Angela followed her husband out of the office, Cam and Caroline were still away, Rebecca and Brent with Amy said something about the rest of kids and left, only Max, Russ and Booth were left with the crying Brennan.

'Christine…' Temperance whispered in fear as she kept her face hidden in Booth's neck. Booth kissed her cheek and took her tearful face in his palms.

'We're going to find her, we're going to see where she took our kid, I promise you that. You're one of the smartest people in the world, we can do that together.' Booth said and Brennan looked at him in the eyes right before her own could close and more tears run down her cheeks.

'I'm good with bones, Booth, not people, not numbers and psychology, I'm only good with dead people…' Brennan whispered and Booth pulled her back in his arms as he looked at Max who was touching his forehead in anxiety and Russ who was looking at his sister's crying form with pained eyes.

There were many things to be done, they needed to find out things about Danielle and why she helped the Grave Digger, Jared and Sweets could take care of that, Booth was sure. Hodgins would do actually anything to help this situation. Max needed only a nod from Temperance and he'd be out of the building, searching in his old hiding places for his guns. Everyone was ready to help Booth and Brennan, problem was, the couple didn't know how to help their only daughter right now.

Max suddenly walked out of the office and Brennan only looked at Russ so he would stop him, the couple remained in the office as her brother got their father by the wrist, the glass office allowed them to hear the two men talking.

'Dad… Brennan asked you to stay here for her and for Christine,' Russ tried but Max smiled slightly and shook his head.

'I did and look what happened, Tempe has Booth and Christine needs us all, if a high security prison, the entire FBI and the cops can't get to that Grave Digger, some old palls of mine and myself will, keep safe your own family and let Temperance and Booth to do what they know best, I love you both,' Max said and patted his son's cheek before he could look at Booth and Brennan who was still looking at her family through the glass wall of her office. Max sent her a kiss and then moved away from the office and from Russ.

More tears gathered in her eyes as she knew this could be the last time she might be seeing her father. Max Keenan could become a cruel man when it was about his family, by his fault, Christine Brennan had died in 1993, this time, he was going to help the situation of Christine Booth…

Brennan's ringtone snapped everyone out of their stupor and Brennan fumbled with her coat's pocket until she found the hand device and answered the phone, placing it between her and Booth's ear.

'Your daughter… or her bones will be in the Cemetery in a few minutes… close to the lake. Do not bring anyone or I'll make sure you will never find even a finger.' Her voice wasn't electronically changed, they knew who she was and she knew what she wanted, revenge. The call was done and Brennan and Booth looked at each other for a moment more before they could storm out of the office and into the hallway, where Cam saw them as she was coming from the other direction.

'Where are you going?' Cam asked as the couple didn't stop so she started following them.

'We need to be alone, I'll call you right before we'll need help and then keep the call on, try to locate us through the monitor of the SUV.' Booth said as Brennan was already a couple steps forward, Cam was ready to argue but Booth shook his head. 'If we tell you now, some from all of you will follow us and we'll miss the only chance we have to save our child.' Booth only said as he followed his future wife while Cam paused her steps.

'What if she wants you out on your own?' Cam asked in a shout as the two kept moving.

'Then I'll happily die with my daughter!' Brennan answered without looking behind her as she and Booth reached the elevators and moved down to the garage. The SUV moved out of the building with speed and soon was on the highway.

'She knows the location of the first victim we found together,' Brennan pointed out after some minutes of tensed silence; she could remember the day they were driving to that cemetery, right after a fight of theirs. 'She knows everything about us.' Brennan added and Booth looked at her for a moment before he could return his eyes on the road.

'She doesn't know something…' Booth said and Brennan looked at him as he glanced at her again, her hand was playing with her fancy dolphin medallion, usually she doesn't touch her jewelry, but now her hand was nervously hitting the metallic medallion against her poor cleavage's skin that was turning reddish.

'What's that?' Brennan asked softly with her voice husky by the crying, they were interrupted by the phone that was in Brennan's free hand, she answered the call and put the loudspeaker on so both she and Booth could listen.

'Her actual name is Emma Taffet, second cousin of Taffet, same traces of schizophrenia in the family…' Angela's sober voice was heard.

'Sweets has been on and off with a schizophrenic for the past years and he didn't realize a thing?' Booth asked in wonder as he kept driving and the couple heard Hodgins swearing physiology from somewhere close to Angela.

'A schizophrenic can have the perfect mask of the normal person when something is set in his mind, and Danielle, or actually Emma here had the plan of helping her cousin ever since she got in the Institute, her interest was certainly increased when Brennan got pregnant. She was there in many evenings of us talking, many conversations, we even had opened up to her and said things about our lives.' Angela answered and Brennan covered her face with the hand that was torturing her medallion as to calm down. Booth sighed and took Brennan's hand in his and kissed her knuckles. 'Guys… be careful, we'll be starting from here the moment you call us. We're all here trying to figure out more things.' Angela said before the call could be determined. The couple remained in silence again until Brennan spoke.

'You think we're bad people?' Temperance asked softly and Booth glanced at her.

'What? No,' Booth said and looked at her again.

'We've murdered people,' Brennan pointed out sadly, she could still remember the day she killed the first man in her life, that scum that tried to kill Booth. Yet, was all that a punishment for the things she had done?

'We haven't murdered, we have killed, out of need and defense, there's a difference, a huge difference, she murders, we kill,' Booth pointed out and Brennan nodded her head as he looked at her, they both sighed and Brennan was ready to ask something again but Booth spoke.

'Well I have done something that you don't know so maybe I am a bad person,' Booth said and Brennan looked at him, waiting in tensed silence. 'Remember that case with Angela's old boyfriend, Kurt?' Booth asked and Brennan nodded her head.

'Well when I got there in his house and you were still in bed, you had to change and you asked me to go outside, I said no and that I would just close my eyes and eat my donut, remember that too?' Booth asked and Bones nodded once again. 'Well, I didn't shut my eyes… I peeked while you were taking off you blouse and putting your bra on…I think Angela noticed and then I shut them for good.' Booth said with a small grin and Brennan sighed, of course he would try to make her smile and he made it, she smiled at him and shook her head, that moment, her cell phone rang once again.

Russ calling

'Yes, Russ what is it?' Brennan asked with a steady voice.

'Tempe… Camille said you left, where are you going?' Russ asked and Brennan looked at Booth who simply shook his head, it was easy for Russ or Hodgins or the rest to rush on impulse.

'You'll know in a few minutes, Russ, I'll be fine.' Brennan said as she avoided answering and heard her brother sighing. She knew how he felt, their father had left and now she was gone too, she knew the feeling of being left alone. 'Russ… I love you very much,' Brennan said after a moment more of silence and heard her brother stop breathing for a moment.

'Marco…' he said and Brennan's eyes filled with tears, a few minutes ago she had seen her father leaving; now she might not see Russ again.

'Polo…' she answered their code and wiped away the tears from her crystal blue eyes before she could turn the call off and look at Booth again who had his eyes on the road, one of his hands were on the gear stick and she put her own hand above his.

'So… what doesn't she know about us?' Brennan asked the question that hadn't been answered because of the calls. Booth smiled softly at her and cleared his throat slightly.

'Temperance, you're my bones.' Booth said and Brennan looked at him, she didn't have the power to actually smile but she had to admit that he was the only person to take her mind slightly off their banes right now.

'I don't know what that means…' Brennan said in her old fashioned way and Booth smiled, trying all his cards to make her smile or at least feel less desperate as they both did. She wasn't used to be saying that she didn't know about the meaning of a phrase, she had evolved her people skills in the past years, she knew.

'Anatomy lesson number 01, what would happen to a human body if the skeleton was absent, Dr. Brennan?' Booth asked as they turned around a corner and got closer and closer to the cemetery.

'The body wouldn't be able to function because of the lack of structure, the neuron system wouldn't be attached to the spine so there would be no connections between the body and the brain and that would cause complete atrophy to the entire body and would conclude death. Of course it's impossible for a human not to have a skeleton but there had been cases of people born with very fragile or even soft skeletons that of course led to a suffering life and death at a young age.' Brennan said in a breath and was left looking at Booth's smiling face, after a moment, she smiled too.

'My point exactly, you're my Bones, my very reason to be standing and existing… she hasn't realized that, when she will, she'll be dying,' Booth said and this time he was dead serious. Brennan's hand in his softened his furry, he had been cool for the past hours for Brennan's sake but his blood was boiling, he was going to catch that bitch and make her pay for all this, for his daughter.

'Once you had told me you are from the kind of people that don't belong in a family… well you have a huge family now, and you belong with me… so get used to it, I got you.' Booth added and Brennan smiled slightly.

'Seeley… you're not my bones, but you're my heart.' Brennan said in a whisper and Booth smiled at her for a moment.

'Don't call me Seeley,' he said before he could kiss her hand, let go of it, park the SUV and call the Jeffersonian so the rest could locate them.

'Kiss me,' Brennan said right before they could get out of their car, Booth looked at her and her eyes were full of fear, full of need, she moved closer to him and he did the same as they were still on their seats. He touched his forehead with hers and even if he wanted to, he didn't kiss her lips, in her eyes, he could see something final, a goodbye, he wasn't going to give that to her.

'Later, when we'll have our baby girl with us,' Booth whispered as he nuzzled his nose with hers while their eyes fluttered close, he felt her sighing and nodding right before they could part and move out of the SUV.

It had already been three hours ever since they left their house and it felt like minutes. The morning sun was now bright upon the gravestones of the fallen as the couple started moving through a line on the grass between the tombs with their coats flapping around them as they kept a fast pace. They knew where the lake was located; it felt as if it was yesterday when they were moving down the same path to get to the lake with the dead body of the girl that had been murdered. Even now, almost ten years later, it felt as awful reaching the place probably for the same reason…

The couple finally reached the lake and looked around, it was broad daylight, they couldn't see someone around, they reached the water with caution, backing each other up. Brennan gasped when she saw a small box between some plants. She fell on her knees and tried to reach it, Booth did the same and made it to catch it as his arms were longer than Brennan's.

Something or actually someone burst out of the calmed water the moment Booth was opening the box to reveal a small, human skeleton. The shock of the discovery of the human remains was shadowed by the person that attacked them.

Booth had no time to put his wet hands on his gun as he felt a strong shock of electricity running down his spine and blacking him out while Temperance screamed, a gunshot was heard and then silence and darkness followed…

ooooo we kind of expected for this to be a trap did we? but we have booth out and probably brennan too and a little human's skeleton... tell me what u think! what u think of the scene in the SUV? i liked how bb can talk about everything and what u think of Russ' call to his sister and the Marco POlo?
