Chapter Twenty

            The rental halls across the country had been in the family for as long as Maggie could remember. They rented them out for weddings or sweet sixteen parties for the most part, but had family meetings at the various locations as well. She was sitting on the slight stage area that the DJ would usually set up his gear on and waited. As it turned out, she didn’t have that long to wait. Shad showed up, as expected, and just blinked at her there.
            “What have we here?” he said dryly. “If it isn’t my little sister Maggie returned from…”
            “Spare me,” she cut him off coldly. “It’s over, Shad.”
            His face went hard. “Whatever are you…”
            Uncle Cleo came into the hall with his sons following him. Upon seeing him, Shad tried to talk only to have Little Cleo punching him hard in the face. The two men had to yank him off of the ground, turning him to face his sister.
            “It’s over,” she told him. “All of it.” Taking a deep breath, she let it out shakily as she whispered, “You told me that I had better pay more mind to the family. I’m paying attention now, Shad. I’m upholding my familial obligations. You stole from your family, you killed your own niece, and you saw to it that I would be thrown into a funny farm so I would be made to stay out of your way.”
            “I would never…” Teddy came out from where he had been and just stared at him, daring him to finish what he had started to say. “I-I…”
            “It’s over,” she said again, going over him even as he began to beg.
            “No! No! Please! No! Maggie! I’m your brother!”
            She tilted her head, looking at him. “You never cared before that I was your sister.” She leaned in closer to him. “You never cared when you whipped my back. You never cared when you cut me. You sure as hell didn’t care when you sold my virginity away as if it were some sort of right you had and me not even a full grown woman. But heck, Shad, you got a what? A used RV? Wow! That must have felt like a fortune to you back then.” He hissed in pain as her cousin’s grip went tighter around his arms. “It’s over and there’s no mercy to be had here for you.” She made him look her in the eyes. “You are no longer family. What trials and tribulations you will from now on deal with alone…”
            “You can’t…”
            She backhanded him so hard that his head was snapped back. Leaning down, she hissed, “No matter where you go or what you do, you will never escape the evil eye. May God have pity on your soul.” She grabbed his left hand and yanked the ring there off of his finger. “And this…” She showed him. “Is mine!”
            Walter came over taking the ring from her. “I’ll have that fixed in no time. Give me a moment, Sunshine.”
            “Of course,” she breathed, stepping back.
            He went over to Shad and stared at him. “I should kill you for what you did to my wife alone. That was bad enough, but then you had to go and kill Leo.” He kicked him in the groin, sending the man to the ground. “He was the best person I’ve ever known. I was blessed to have had him in my life and you had no right to do what you did to him!” Yanking him off of the ground, he slammed his fist into his face and was about to do so again when Booth raided the hall with the FBI in tow.
            The family turned their backs on Shad as he was dragged away in cuffs. Not even Maggie watched as her brother was taken away. Instead, she hugged Walter tightly and pressed her face into his chest.
            “It’s over,” she breathed.
            “He might get out of…”
            “No,” she murmured. “Tonight his clock will stop by his own hand. Biting the wrists that once were able, he’ll bleed his life away alone.”
            Walter feeling as if was as close to justice as Willa, Leo and Maggie would get from the man, breathed, “Good.”

            Booth, Brennan, and Walter watched as Maggie played catch with Gabriel in the grass not that far away. Seeley looked over to Walter who was happier than the FBI agent had ever seen him before.
            “So what are your plans now?” he asked him.
            Taking a deep breath. “Make an appointment for her is first on the list…”
            “Picture! We need the picture!” Came from Maggie, as she joined them with Gabriel in tow.
            “We need to get a picture of Willa with Maggie,” he said, looking over to Booth. “It’s the only one that exists of the two of them together and luckily enough it’s here in D.C. But in order to get it, we need a way in.”
            Swallowing thickly, Maggie said, “I know I’ve asked for so much of you, but we…I need this picture for her funeral, which will more than likely be happening as soon as the body is released to my sister here in D.C. sometime this evening or tonight.”
            “Name it,” he murmured.
            “Are you familiar with the Lightman Group?”

            Brennan and Booth watched as Maggie and Walter rushed in, pinning the photo onto the board with hundreds of others of Willa with her family and friends.
            “They got it,” Brennan said quietly. “How do you think…”
            He shook his head, saying, “I don’t know and I’m not going to ask.”
            “You think they stole it?”
            “Perhaps, but guessing isn’t proof, is it?” he inquired, just as he saw them leaving.
            “Why are they going? I would have thought that they would stay for the funeral.”
            “They still have to bury Leo as well,” he reminded her, even as they watched as they untied Gabriel at the door and walked out into the sunset.
            “Do you think they’ll be okay?” she asked quietly.
            He nodded. “They’re both survivors.” He looked over to Brennan. “Yeah, I think they’ll be fine.”
            Slipping his arm over her shoulder, they too walked off into the sunset.
