I laid down in Mom's office as her and Booth went to go look at the murder scene. Booth picked me up and dropped me off, Mom didn't want me going back to school, so she sent me to bed rest here.

So I sat in Mom's office reading The Black Mass by Bram Stoker for English class, So I could clear my head.

I turned the page as Sweets walked in with files, I'm guessing for the case.

"Hello Dr Sweets." I said closing my book sitting up.

"Call me Lance, Dr Brennan said you would love to help with the case." Lance said as I nodded.

"Yeah, come sit." I said moving away so he could sit down.

"Feeling any better since last night?" Lance asked as I nodded.

"Yeah thanks for finding me." I told him as Daisy walked in.

"Lancelot what are you doing here?" Daisy asked as Lance looked down, squeezing his eyes shut,  puffing his cheeks out.

"Daisy, how many times do I have to tell you stop calling me that? And we're not dating anymore, you need to leave me alone." Lance said but Daisy didn't seem to listen.

"And why are you with Dr Brennan's daughter? She doesn't respect you!" Daisy said.

I huffed out air before giving my death glare to Daisy.

"He's with me because he saved my life! And I do respect him, people like us have been abused when we were kids, so actually I respect him a lot more than you do, so leave him alone or I will fire you." I said as my emotions disappeared again.

"Daisy I think you should go." Lance said, Daisy didn't reply as she ran out of the office.

I calmed down after that as Lance looked at me.

"How do you know that?" 

"My mother told me, she started talking about her foster family and I brought up my stuff since before I was adopted." I explained to him.

"Want to go get lunch?" Lance asked as I pretended to think.

I smiled before nodding getting up, grabbing his hand.

I laughed as Lance tried to impersonate a walrus, causing me to choke on my water.

"You need help." I said as he smiled.

"I know that." Lance said as I put a fry in my mouth.

"So about last night... Do you remember what you said?" Lance asked as I swallowed.

"It happened before, I'd be driving or laying in bed then at the dead of night, I'd wake up screaming. It's been happening since I was a kid, I don't know why." I said staring at my plate.

"I think I do... Do you know what a banshee is?"

My eyes snapped towards him as my chest tightened.

"A wailing women." I said.

"It all adds up Ivy, wailing at night, a women, adoption, death. I believed in supernatural but I didn't know it would happen around me." Lance said.

I was about to reply until Mom and Booth came in.

Mom sat beside me and Booth by Lance, I shook my head at him as he nodded.

"What are you two chatting about."

"Nothing to worry about
