Thank you for your reviews. They are the only way I can tell if you are interested in my story.

I don't own Bones.

Oooooooooooo

Standing in ICU, Booth waited for Will Penny's lawyer to arrive. When his suspect has awakened from his drug induced sleep, he'd taken one look at his handcuffs and demanded a lawyer. So far, the man had been read his rights three times and Booth still wasn't sure it was enough.

As soon as Clive Mason arrived, Booth entered the room with him and stood next to Will's bed. "I'm going to read you your rights, Mr. Penny. This will be the fourth time, but we want to make sure you know and understand your rights."

Shaking his head, Will glanced at his lawyer and replied, "I don't need them read to me again. I understand my rights."

His gaze moving to the lawyer, Booth ignored Will's statement and proceeded to read the suspect his rights anyway. Once he was done, Booth placed a hand on the rail of the bed and asked, "Why'd you throw a knife at an FBI Agent, Mr. Penny?"

Interrupting him, Clive shook his head, "My client won't be answering any of your questions, Agent Booth."

Ignoring Mason, Booth asked Will, "Why did you kill Connie Murphy?"

Filled with apathy for his fate, Will finally shrugged his shoulders, "Do you know who Connie's father is?"

Irritated, Clive Mason protested, "I don't want you talking to Agent Booth or anyone else, Mr. Penny."

Laughing, Will stared in disbelief at his lawyer, "You have to be kidding me. I only hired you because I want a witness to hear what I'm going to say. I don't want the FBI covering anything up once I'm gone."

His eyes boring in to Will, Booth demanded, "What do you mean by that? What do you think the FBI is going to cover up?"

Shrugging his shoulders and instantly regretting it, Will turned his gaze fully on Booth, "Connie Murphy is the daughter of Morgan Murphy. That man killed my baby brother a couple of years ago and got away with it. Billy's case turned cold because the cops refused to pursue it. . . Yeah, Billy was running with the wrong crowd and yeah he worked for Murphy, but when a job he was on went south Murphy had Billy killed to keep him quiet. The cops weren't interested in solving Billy's murder because they would have had to go after Morgan Murphy. Well, I couldn't let that go. If he could take my baby brother's life then I could take his daughter from him."

Furious, Mason protested, "For God's sake keep your mouth shut."

Sighing, Will explained to his lawyer, "Get it through your pointy head, I'm not going to live very long. I killed the daughter of Morgan Murphy. I just need you to listen to what's going on and when I'm murdered you can make sure the FBI investigates my death and not sweep it under the rug. I want Murphy to pay for what he did and what he's going to do."

His temper rising, Booth leaned over Will, "Listen you idiot, the FBI doesn't cover up any one's shit, got it and no one is going to murder you in FBI custody."

Closing his eyes, Will replied,"Tell that Fed I'm sorry I threw the knife at him. I meant to miss him. I was trying to get that other Fed to kill me, but the idiot blew it and here I am. Now I have to wait for Murphy to murder me and that wasn't part of my plan. Now that I have to go to trial and all, I plan to use it to my advantage. When Murphy kills me then you'll have to go after him so this worked out for the better." Pleased, Will smiled, "I won't get to see the smug bastard fry but my family can."

"No one is going to murder you, Mr. Penny." Turning his gaze towards Mason, Booth notified him, "The prosecutor is going to want to talk to him. I'm sure you'll be contacted first. In the meantime, your client is under arrest for the brutal murder of Connie Murphy and the attempted murder of a Federal Agent."

"She wasn't very nice you know." Biting his lower lip, Will debated whether or not to say anything else. "What the hell . . . she treated her husband pretty badly. She was having an affair with Richard Billiard. That's why I had to wait to kill her. That man was on her like a leech when she was on campus. She finally dumped his ass a few weeks ago and was looking around for someone else to screw. Her husband didn't have a clue what was going on."

Disgusted with Will, Booth Booth left the room.

Ooooooooooooooo

Holding his daughter in the crook of his left arm, Booth sat down on the couch and used the remote to turn on the television, "I'm telling you Bones, that guy didn't have any remorse for what he'd done. He killed Connie because he thought her father had killed his brother or was responsible for his death. Either way, he was happy he did it."

Curious, Brennan stepped out of the kitchen and over to the couch where she sat down, "What did Mr. Murphy say when you told him Connie's murderer had been found?"

Staring into his daughter's sleeping face, Booth leaned over and kissed her forehead, "He cried. He just sat there and cried. Connie's husband was with him and he cried too. It was pretty sad really. Roy Carter adored his wife. Will Penny said she was having an affair behind Roy's back, but I didn't mention it. Why crush him when he was down? There isn't going to be a trial since Penny confessed, so Roy doesn't have to hear about it."

Brennan took the remote from Booth's hand and started to channel surf. "Do you think Morgan Murphy will have Will Penny murdered?"

"I don't know." Smiling at the way his daughter scrunched her nose as she slept, Booth informed his wife, "We have Will guarded in the hospital and once he's out he'll be in solitary at the prison. I don't know. Murphy has a rep as someone you don't want to cross. He's pretty ruthless and we suspect he was involved in two murders of rivals, but we never could get the evidence we needed to go after him."

Finding the National Geographic Channel, Brennan placed the remote down on the coffee table, "How is Lester doing?"

Staring at penguins marching across his television, Booth remarked, "He's doing okay. His wife is going to take a few days off and take care of him at home. Harris has to go before a review board about the shooting, but he'll be okay." Shaking his head, Booth pointed at the television screen, "Come on, Bones. Penguins? Let's find a game."

Not about to give in, Brennan advised him, "You promised that we would watch what I want to watch tonight since we watched games all week. I want to watch this documentary."

Resigned, Booth stared at his daughter, "Okay . . . okay. Whatever you want, I promised."

Leaning against him, Brennan smiled, "Maybe we'll go to bed early tonight."

His charm smile at full wattage, Booth nudged her and grinned, "Sounds like a good plan to me."

Ooooooooooooo

Reviews would be wonderful. Thank you.
