It was a normal day...a normal day in Washington DC and the sun was shining, with no clouds to shield it. That wasn't to say there weren't any. There were clouds...to be precise, their were metaphorical clouds. Metaphorical clouds, clouding his thoughts, everything, that maybe in the long run kept him sane.
Things were weird. They had been weird since that night those several months ago, When he had taken a gamble...he had risked it all and he had lost everything.
"I wanna give this a shot"
"What you mean us...No the FBI wont let us work together"
"Don't day that, that is no reason for..." He hadn't even finished his sentence before he had his lips on hers and for that one moment, she was kissing back. Of course it had been short lived or he wouldn't be where he was today. But she had pulled away, she had rejected him. "No...No"
He had asked her why, she gave a rational arguement but practically begged for their partnership to remain in tact. He had said yes of course. How could he not. He would have to move on, but their partnership was better than nothing, for the both of them. But he hadn't...unknown to her, he hadn't succeeded in moving on. She didn't know that...and that was the comfusing thing.
Had she changed her mind... had she decided that their partnership was over. She had practically begged for it which had surprised him...it wasn't rational. Maybe, just maybe that night she was blinded by her feelings. Shaking his head he tried to block the thought out of his mind. Thoughts like that were never going to help him move on. Not that he ever thought that he could. She was the only one...and he had told her that. Now he would have to wait for her to realise it. If she ever would.
But he had to ask himself if there would be time for that. It seemed that she had strong thoughts about severing their partnership. It had been 4 days and their had been No contact. No contact at all. Not even a phone call.
On the first day. They had been given a case. Before he even had a chance to brief her, he received a memo that she had declined it. The next day, he had shown up at the lab, only to be told by Cam that she emailed about her absense, not giving a time period. The third day, he had taken the liberty to show up at her House. She of course had not answered but he had found the spare key and let himself in, only to find it empty. It looked used, the mail had been collected and their was no dishesleft in the sink...no lingering dust. So he had left. Today, the forth day, he again visited the lab...to be greeted with same same sight and the same explanation. No Bones...just another email. He again visited her home...which subsequently was the same as the day before...No Bones...yet the place looked lived in. He had of course been trying her phone for the past 4 days to which of course there was No answer.
He sat in his office for hours finishing paperwork before he finally looked at the clock. 10:15... 3 hours he had sat in his office pouring over unfinished paperwork. He again tried her mobile, yet again it was on but he received No answer. He needed to talk to her. If nobody could tell him where she was, he would have to find her location himself.
He headed over to the lab, but not really expecting to find anyone. There were few lights on, including Brennans office. He felt a surge of hope and hurried to enter only to find Angela sat at Brennan's desk looking through papers.
"Booth."
"Hey Angela, I was actually hoping to run into you. Why are you in here."
She sighed before continuing. "I'm trying to find something that will tell me anything about Bren...it's been four days Booth and I've heard nothing from her. She's never home and won't answer any of my calls. I'm worried for her"
"Crap...you've heard nothing either. Well her cell is on, I need you to track it for me. I know it's exteme but I have to talk to her."
"I got'cha Booth, wait here...keep looking through this stuff...I'll go do this for you."
She left Booth looking through the papers. Nothing useful whatsoever. Looks like tracking her cell was the best option. He looked around as Angela re entered. "I got it Booth. Washington Monument...what is it with that place."
"Thanks angela"
It didn't take him long for him to get there and he walked slowly around the monument scouting and scouring his eyes over every inch he could see. He continuously walked in circles for as long as it took to convince himself that she wasn't there. eventually he gave up and sat down on the steps. The steps they had sat on many times, after a hard case, after a celebration. That was when he noticed it. Brennan phone was place a few places away from him. He picked it up when a text flashed up on the screen. Unknown number...curiousity had the better of him as he opened it to read. "I have her Agent Booth"
That was it. Those 5 simple words changed everything. -
