Oh wow! This has upped the tension tenfold. Talk about intrigue!
Loved the Angela/Hodgins conversation.
I had a feeling that Parker was going to somehow get embroiled in this. Hope he's okay. Booth will freak out majorly if he's hurt or worse, and I reckon the poor guy has enough to deal with at the moment. Kudos to Parker though for knowing when to stay invisible.
Thrilled to read that you already have another story planned!
Brilliant chapter.

Yep! The intrigue has gone up a LOT. We're really racing down a hill towards the end of the fic here. It doesn't really stop or slow down until the end. So hold on tight!

Thanks for letting me know you're excited to see this 'verse continue. It's nice to know I won't be shouting into thin air, LOL!

Thank you for a great comment!

With your HUGE writing talent I doubt if you'll ever have to shout into thin air! You write, I read! (And I bet there's plenty of other people out there who'd agree!) xx

whoa!!!

great update --- and what a cliffie!!!!

Enjoying this like BBQ! Great fic. :-)

[ladychi]

As a Kansas City gal, I have to say that "enjoying this like BBQ" is probably the greatest compliment I've gotten ever! So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you!

Great cliffhanger and loads of plot!!! This chapter is made of win. I love all the threads you have got going here and how they are meshing.

A sequel!?! You spoil us.

I'm just too lazy to set up another 'verse for my next mystery idea, LOL! They're sort of addicting, they really are.

I'm so glad you liked this chapter -- there are a lot of little threads that are going to start to make a lot of sense over the next few chapters, so hold on tight! Thanks so much for an awesome comment!

I want to write a love letter to this story. Freaking cute, Parker, who is both himself but also a little Booth. Adorable Hogela. Fun plot twists I never saw coming. Booth and Brennan. Sigh. Thanks so much for the update.

[ladychi]

Oh, he's definitely got a little bit of Rebecca in him, does Parker. He's stubborn and mouthy but also completely himself. I'm enjoying spending time with his character. Thank you for an awesome comment! It truly made my day!

Perhaps you could have a future writing mystery novels where the characters are thinly veiled versions of Booth and Brennan. Their names can be... Boot and Bremman. Yes. Do this.

I wanted you to know that I laughed so hard at this I cried. I really enjoy writing these stories, so it's nice to see that they're so appreciated!

It's so funny because when I think of Parker I think of little tiny season one Parker and forget that he's a boy now! Your version of him is so believable and so much more fleshed out, and it is a great element of this story!

I have to fight myself with that instinct sometimes, too! Part of me was going, "You can't put him in danger! He's so wee!" but really he's not anymore, you know?

blockquote>Can't wait to hear what happens next! Parker is going to be okay, right? RIGHT?!!
I can't say whether Parker's going to be okay or not. I can say that he is very much like his father. And he's resourceful
