Waking Nightmares
Caroline was not a happy woman. She did not like to be kept waiting. She knew she had to speak to Brennan and Booth as soon as possible, but she also knew that Hodgins and Angela and the rest of the team would need to know. She sat on the sofa in Brennan's office as Cam walked in.
"Hey Cherie, when do you expect the dynamic duo to arrive?" Cam shrugged as Caroline continued to look disgruntled.
"They are at a potential crime scene. Why can't you just tell me what it is you came to say? I'll make sure everyone else is informed" Cam smiled slightly as Caroline huffed.
"Tell us what?" Booth was just ahead of Brennan as they entered her office.
"Why is everyone here?" Brennan sighed as Caroline called for Daisy to round up the others on the team.
"I need to talk to you Cherie. And what I got to say, you aint gonna like it one little bit." She looked pointedly at Brennan who just stared non committal at her. Jack sat on the edge of the couch.
"Go on" Booth glanced briefly at Brennan. He was automatically worried. He saw Angela glance at Jack the same way.
"This morning I got a call from the Governor of a correctional facility where Heather Taffet was being held" She eyed the rest of the team, aware that Angela had taken Jack's hand. Brennan had crossed her arms across her waist. Cam was leaning against the desk.
"That's the Gravedigger!" Daisy exclaimed as Cam shot her a look
"Correct" Caroline sighed. "Well, there aint no way I can dress this up pretty. She escaped from prison this morning"
Jack swore before standing and walking out the room. Brennan felt the colour drain from her face as she watched him walk away. Angela looked towards her friend before following her husband out of the room.
"How? How is that possible Caroline?" Booth wanted to punch something. He had never seen Brennan look so worried.
"All I know Booth is that the prison is currently under investigation. The guard seemed to be sweet on Taffet. More fool him; he's currently residing in County morgue." Caroline stood and walked towards Booth as Brennan seemed to retreat in to herself. Cam nodded to Daisy indicating for her to leave the room with her.
"Dr Brennan, we will find her. The police, the FBI are all looking for her." She smiled kindly at the anthropologist as Booth loosened his tie. "Look after her Booth". Caroline left the room as Brennan hung her head.
"Bones" Booth's voice was quiet as he watched her reconstruct the walls he had worked so hard to pull down.
"She was right. Taffet was right" Brennan felt her eyes brim with unshed tears.
"Hey, Bones" Booth repeated as he came to stand in front of her.
"She said this wasn't over, as they led her away she told me it wasn't over" Brennan let Booth pull her in to a hug. Before he could stop himself he'd kissed the top of Brennan's head.
"Well it's time we finished it" Booth sighed as he felt his partner's tears soak his shirt.
