Episode 1 sibling rivial complete
"Bones are you ready to go? We have to go!" Booth said walking into Temperance's office. Looking over to the side at a box of old bones he raised a brow seeing they looked undisturbed.
"Bones?" She lifted her eyes from her computer glancing over in his direction then turned her attention back to the computer logging off. "You know at these sorts of events they kind of want the honored guests to be there on time, you said you would go so let's go."
"No you asked me to go because I showed an interest in your honor system. Almost done I just need to finish this report on the-"
"Something I won't understand can you wrap it up?" He stressed looking at his watch seeing he had a couple hours but he didn't know if traffic was going to be bad, or if Bones had to change, or whatever she had to do… she was a woman after all things take time. She turned her monitor off with a sighed pulling her jacket from the back of her chair she pulled it of flicking her hair from her collar she waved for him to leave her office.
"You not wearing that are you?" Booth asked Temperance looked down at her clothes and raised a brow. She was wearing a silk white blouse a string of small pearls around her neck, matching pearls around her wrist. She wore long bell bottomed black slacks and matching black heels tall today for she wasn't in the field. She looked back at Booth who seemed to be looking her over as well.
"Why what is wrong with what I am wearing?"
"Nothing Bones I thought you would dress up a little more fancy." Booth watched as she smoothed her face out and rolled her blue eyes. "No this isn't we will have to stop at my penthouse. Booth it shouldn't matter what I wear I am not going to impress anyone I am going for you." He grinned pushing her hair from her shoulder patting it and tried to usher her out of the office. She turned turning the lights off then locked her office door before nodded and fallowing him out of the Jeffersonian.
On their way to Temperance's penthouse Temperance looked over at him. "In some cultures the males are the ones who dressed more extravagantly then the females to boast their standing among other men." Booth looked at her then the road again.
"Bones there wasn't anything wrong with what you were wearing I just thought you were going to dress up more then your court clothes." They reached the building and argued the whole way up to her doorway. The whole time she was changing they argued over what was correct or what wasn't correct about her theory of how things were in other cultures.
"Booth women here shouldn't feel the need to press upon their looks just because they feel the need to show off their social standings. If they were to dress like this in the normal world they would just look foolish, this event is to honor those who are getting Hero awards not to see who the best in a dress or suit looks." Booth stopped poking at the skeleton in her living room and looked over at her and grinned.
"Well Bones you would take that hands down, now that is what I am talking about!" She smiled and turned around so he could zip the back up. She now wore a long silver gown that had a small train that would trail if she wasn't holding it up. While she fiddled with a thick diamond frosted bracelet that just wouldn't clasp. He zipped her up careful on her skin and stopped at the top his fingers lingering over the top of her dress inches from her skin but moved away just as she turned and offered up her wrist. He clasped the bracelet and smiled as she looked at it then looked up at him. There was a pregnant pause when she blinked and looked away headed for the door.
"We are going to be late." He nodded and fallowed her out once again. While she was locking up he looked at her carefully then nodded. "Even if they were dressing to show off their man, we aren't together and I must say… I am quite honored to have you as my date." She smiled and linked arms with him.
"Well I am honored you asked me to join you Booth."
Once at the large award building Booth went back stage leaving Temperance alone. She walked into the massive ball looking room filled with very extravagantly dressed people. The ceiling was high and covered with golden streamers as well as crystal chandeliers that bounced light off like a disco ball. The chairs below on the floor were red velvet on the creamy carpet. Her blue eyes scanned the area and moved with the crowd to a familiar face, Angela. Walking to her side she continued to look around her as Angela finished up her conversation with a rich and handsome man.
"Brennan what are you doing here I thought you came with Booth aren't you giving his award to him?" Temperance looked back to Angela confused.
"No Parker is giving it to him."
"Aren't you his honored guest?" She pried Temperance chuckled and rolled her eyes. "No I am not I am his date, Parker is his son I think it is important that a son gives his father the honored gift, it's a hero thing. The bond between the father and son is something Booth cherishes." Angela said lowly then grinned and looked over to the side as Hodgin came up with Cam who was dressed just as beautiful as Angela did. Angela wore a long dress as well black in color with a very lo neck line and along beaded necklace that reflected the lights above from it opal color. Her hair was pulled up in a curly bun with diamond clips holding it together. Her face was painted by a professional and very skilled hand. While she was sexy Cam dialed it down in a light blue color a shade darker then blue. Her long black hair was wore around her shoulders in thick spiraled curls she to had makeup of a goddess. She kept it simple like Temperance. Hodgin who was hesitant to join them that night was wearing a black tux that showed his surprisingly muscled body with the added effect of a blue colored rose in his pocket.
Naturally all of Temperance friends and team would be here tonight in honor of Booth. Hodgin handed a fine crystal glass of wine to Temperance who wrapped her slender fingers around the hilt. Looking over to the side she watched as Parker dressed in a fine miniature tux came running while Rebecca walked towards them.
"BONES!" Parker cried Temperance bent over and patted his head then hugged him adjusting his tie with a playful smile. He was getting taller from the last time she saw him.
"Hi Parker are you excited to give your father the award?" He nodded vigorously turning to his mother who was chatting with her new husband He however wasn't all that great to look at him his tux. A little bit of a gut on this guy and while he looked more like a poor man trying to fit in she stood out with her short black dress and a dual sting of pearls around her skinny neck with an abundance of jewels on her fingers. Rich lady flaunting her money was more her style.
"Hello Temperance." Rebecca said curtly her thick lashes batted against her cheek then opened wide again. Temperance felt her brow tense in defense but stopped herself and smiled. "Rebecca." They moved on dragging Parker with them and Cam came to her side.
"She hates being here… She could have asked you to watch Parker and she and that little black dress could go else where." Temperance rolled her eyes.
"Really who is she trying to impress with those chicken legs." Angela stated they small group laughed and made their way to their seats. They waited and watched as three men before Booth got their awards. Then it was Booths turn and Parker looked truly nervous up there sweat palms constantly blinking. Temperance smiled waving to him and watched as Booth came out dressed in his military uniform. He received his award for saving the kid who was a hostage in the last case they worked together. He picked up the guys sniper and shot without hesitation and killed the man. Naturally the day this happened Temperance was below in handcuffs for assaulting a police officer.
Parker pinned the Hero badge to Booths jacket and handed him a plaque. He bent down scooped up his son and smiled waving to the crowd. Temperance waved to Booth who grinned and together he and his son walked back to their place behind stage. Temperance nodded and lowered her hand to her lap. Angela looked at her then Rebecca who glared and returned her snooty gaze towards the front.
"I get it now…she is wearing that dress for Booth…not her husband. Looks like trouble in paradise for the happy couple." Angela said Cam looked over and agreed. Temperance looked over at well briefly not seeing what they were seeing and looked back to the front as another man came on stage.
"Hey Bones how did I look up there?" Booth's voice rang in her ears she turned and swallowed the mouthful of wine and grinned. "You looked like very handsome in you uniform!" She said and handed him the spare glass she was holding. He took it and took a slug his face contorted and he glared at the glass.
"They bought box wine for this? Cheap, cheap, cheap…." He said they laughed and turned their attention back to the others who congratulated him for his award. Cam gave him a box that was a joint gift from the others at the lab. It was another plaque that was a honorary squint gift they all got a laugh at that except Temperance who didn't see the point in the frivolous gift.
"So if I was in that situation would you have shot?" Temperance asked as she unlocked the door so Booth could carry Parker inside, Rebecca was in no condition to take him home that night she would get him in the morning.
"No." he said she paused for a moment watching as he turned and looked at her.
"I would have done everything I could to get you out of there before taking the shot with that…I could have killed the kid, the shot could have hit the man and he could have fired out of reflex…"
"But he didn't you saved a life Booth." He nodded and set Parker in his bed tucking him in and came back out she fallowed him to the kitchen where he handed her their beer and sat at the tall table. "I wouldn't shoot because I would be scared that would happen to you." She smiled and nodded. "Thanks Booth." He nodded and took a drink.
~*~
The phone ringing several times over and over again caused Temperance to stir in her sleep. She rolled over searching for her phone but couldn't find it so she opened her eyes finding she wasn't in her house. She was still at Booth's on his couch he was facing the other end on the couch his head buried in the pillows with a tight arm over the top. She sat up pushing her wild hair from her face and dug into her jacket pocket for her phone.
"Brennan." She said with a yawn.
"Where are you?" Angela's voice came she looked at her watch on the coffee table and gasped. "I am on my way I am over at Booths and didn't have any of my things with me." There was a pause. Temperance could almost see the smile Angela face and rolled her eyes. "I will see you soon." She hung up and tried to move her legs but found them under Booths arms holding them to his chest. She smiled and pulled her legs from his arms which naturally stirred Booth awake.
"You are leaving?" He mumbled she nodded bringing their shared blanket and tucked it around him and smiled. "You don't have work today sleep enjoy your day with your son." She started to leave when he was up and off the couch.
"Bones I picked you up you don't have a ride to your house!"
"I will take a cab." He rolled his eyes went into the back got dressed grabbed the sleepy Parker and they were off again.
"You didn't have to drive me all the way to my house Booth a cab would have got me there in minimal time." Booth snorted and turned onto her street and pulled to the front so she could walk inside the lobby.
"Thank you for the ride enjoy your day." He nodded she was getting out of the car when a heavy thud his the top of his car. Booth gasped as a body landed heavily on the hood of his car bending the still held together windshield towards him. He looked in the back seat at Parker who was still sleeping. Astonished he looked over at Temperance who stood half way out of the car her chest, neck, and face was covered in thick blood and chunks of whatever came off the body.
"Bones….don't move." He got out of the car and headed to her side while on the phone.
"Rough morning I can see, so what is his story? A jumper?" Angela asked as the team circled around the decomposing body.
"Not unless this jumper could walk dead for three days and throw himself from Bone's balcony." Booth said scanning his card and walked towards them. "What do you mean dead for three days?" Cam asked.
"My balcony?" Bones asked he nodded and handed her a bag.
"These clothes will be your clothes for a while your not going to want to go home for a couple days." He said lowly Angela raised a brow but Brennan's face said otherwise.
"Why what is wrong with my apartment?"
"Well they were looking for something and this body tagged along."
"Looking for something there isn't anything in there unless they want Skelton remains from china?"
'"Either way until we catch this guy your not going home alone."
"OoO sounds enticing so you need a place to sleep?" Angela asked Temperance shook her head. "No I have a couch in here I will just finish up on the remains of army member we found in Afghanistan." With that she moved back to the body.
"Until then Hodgin analyze the bugs came with the body, Fisher when Cam is done with the autopsy, clean the bones take into consideration if he fell from my floor, bones will be broken. They nodded and went to work Booth fallowed after Temperance into her office and shut the door behind her.
"Bones are you okay?" She plopped to her chair rubbing her nose.
"No I am not okay Booth I have things in there that need to be here and I can't have them falling into peoples hands. They wouldn't be after those but what if they weren't after the bones."
"That is why I said you aren't going home! Besides some agents had the bones taken to evidence you will be getting them back tomorrow." She rolled her eyes and turned her computer screen on and started her work. Booth sighed and knocked on the wall and headed out leaving her alone. He couldn't talk to her when she was like that, he got the feeling something else was up.
"Fisher, Hodgin anything new?" Cam asked looking at the newly cleaned bones.
"Nada" They both said Cam shook her head. "No wounds other then decay, no toxins in the system, no heart failure nothing. For once this body has nothing." She said looking over at Temperance who was on the balcony above looking down at the body.
"Hodgin." She called he looked up.
"I want you and Fisher to do a little experiment." Cam looked up in protest.
"We need to see exactly what breaks are from the fall; from here these breaks look clean."
"Well falling from a building that would do that to a person clean breaks." Cam said Temperance shook her head. "Clean as in cut."
"There were no outer wounds…." Cam countered.
"No wait look…this is the only one but there is a seriated edge of some sort." Fisher said lowly looking at it closely. Cam looked up at Temperance but she was already gone from above.
"Find out how that is possible, Ang I think she needs to talk to someone." Angela nodded and walked away to find Temperance. Naturally found her in the bones hall sitting on the floor staring at an empty case her eyes were concentrating on something that wasn't there. Angela stepped back around the corner and looked over at the busy lab then looked back at Temperance. What was she looking at? Standing up she started towards Angela who panicked and ran away from the corner of her hiding place and watched as she walked back and back into the area where the bones were being assembled.
"I have seen this before." The statement caught everyone's attention and they headed over.
(Sorry writing Temperance's name over again and again I will call her Brennan from now on…….sorry lazy)
Brennan bent over the bones looking at the edges closely. Cam and Angela looked at each other and row shamed bowed. "You baby sit tonight I will do it tomorrow." Cam said winning Angela sighed and nodded everyone went to work again while Brennan went over each bone carefully, over and over again. It was late and close to midnight and still nothing, Angela was sleeping on the couch while Brennan had her face plastered to the tables beside the bones. Nothing had turned up. With no leads she was surely going to be here a long time.
Questions like where had she seen these bones before kept returning to her.
Why can't I remember?
What does this mean?
"Why my apartment?"
The smell of coffee grounds caused her to wake; she opened her eyes and smiled seeing Booth holding her favorite brand of coffee.
"You went across town to get this?" He shrugged, "I was in the neighborhood I knew you would need something good." She looked at the bones before looking back up and at her coffee.
"You live twenty minuets from there." He nodded and pointed to the bones with a free finger.
"They say anything?" She shook her head before leaning back in the chair she was sitting in she dropped the coffee thing and took a sip of the warm chocolaty coffee. "Do you have anything?"
"No I don't…but I will Bones, I will trust me."
"I do trust you Booth…it's this case." He stuffed his hands into his pockets raising a brow.
"Bones are you loosing your touch here?" He asked a playful grin on his lips she looked down at the bones and picked one up and turned to face him. "Booth can you run this through the FBI?" he stepped forward and bent down looking at the bone not seeing anything.
"The bone?" he asked she lowered and set it down to her level again.
"No like one of those MO things you guys do." He still didn't understand. "The victim's bones were cut not broken but there were no exterior wounds, at all."
"Bones how is that possible." She shook her head. "Booth I can honestly tell you it isn't possible however… I have seen this somewhere before. I looked over three hundred unsolved bone cases last night and didn't find the one I was missing." He sighed and looked at the Bones again.
"This is crazy but I will see what I can do." She nodded. "How is Parker?"
"Confused he doesn't know why he had to go home early yesterday."
"At least he didn't have to witness the body falling for a boy that age to see something like would have been emotionally scaring." He nodded jumping as his phone rang. She returned her work while he left to take the call.
"Brennan we found a flaw, out of all the bones there are only three cuts the rest are all broken from the fall and hitting Booth's truck" Hodgin said walking into the open area with Fisher.
"That is great, that is something we didn't have before!" they looked at each other then back to her.
"What?"
"See how when it fell its weight shifted and rolled till it landed on the car on his back."
"Yes that would cause these ribs to break as well as all these but what is your point." Hodgin sighed and waved to fisher on the top floor. He released the dummy and watched as it fell on its stomach from the weight.
"This man landed on his back." Brennan said thoughtfully.
"Exactly, on his back, Do the last one Fisher!" he called. Fisher raised the human looking dummy and smiled as he released it. The rope around it twisted the body then released it so when it neared the ground it fell on its back crunching like the real body had.
"The killer was still in my house when we arrived there this morning he was holding the other end of the rope so it would land…on BOOTH!" She ran from the room and Hodgin air-fived Fisher who bowed.
~*~
"So he was in your apartment and you think we should go back to your apartment when the team has already swept through there a million times and checked everything over. Naturally you with a killer on the loose, would want to go back to where the Killer was waiting for you."
"He wasn't waiting for me, well he was in my apartment but I was at your house last night so whatever he had planned on happening couldn't have happened. We interrupted his plans."
"You did you fell asleep on my couch." Booth said she smiled
"Only because by that time we had three drinks and were watching football." He opened the door and they walked in. "I just don't see what you think you're going to find that they didn't find."
"He left me something, a hint a clue, I know this guy, and somewhere I have seen this work before."
"Cut bones with no exterior wounds, Bones even for you that sound crazy."
"It doesn't make any logical sense yes, I agree but I just have this feeling this guy is toying with us. The way the rope was tied was to let it fall face looking up… looking up at my house. If he didn't know I was in the car why drop it here? I was getting out when the body hit…" She stopped her brain thought process and looked over to the balcony. The rope marks were still on the edge.
She stepped forward and onto the deck, she bent down to its level her eyes scanning the fine thread lines from the rope slicing into the metal. Booth watched her as she reached forward to touch the railing when a gun shot went off. Brennan leapt backwards only to be grabbed my Booth and pulled from open doorway. Three more shots entered the home piercing through the wall into the floor. Booth held her head down with his hand his body covering hers. She flung her arm as another shot flew into the house her blood from an unknown wound sprayed the carpet and the shots stopped completely.
"They think your shot smart thinking Bones."
"I am shot Booth!" She snapped looking at the deep graze mark on her arm and blood ran over her brow over her eye to her cheek. Booth swore ripping the sleeve off her shirt and looked at the wound. Taking out his cell phone he called it in then tied her ripped sleeves around her arm to stop or slow the bleed. It was a graze nothing deadly.
He left her for a minute taking a chunk of mirror and looked into it outside trying to see around the corner however there was nothing he could see. Tipping the glass he looked at Sniper shot areas and still didn't see anything. Throwing the chuck down he walked back to Brennan who held her arm above her heart he had to laugh at her as she still looked around the room for things. She stopped gloved hand and raised a bullet…still intact and not fired at her.
"Finger print?" he asked she looked at it closely. "I can't tell… but if it on the ground most likely he was loading it and it fell from his hand…" She stopped talking and looked at him. His face lit up.
"He wasn't here to steal anything he was looking for the bullet…the bullet has evidence…"
"He came back after the body dump and looked again, still didn't find anything. Leave it to you Bones to find something like that." He said she smiled and looked at the bullet again.
~*~
"So anything on the bones?" Brennan asked walking into lab everyone looked up then at each other. "Brennan why are you here weren't you shot earlier?" Angela asked Brennan pulled her lab coat on as she walked up the stairs.
"Yes."
"Wow sweety why are you here?"
"Because I have to stay here till Booth comes to pick me up."
"Hot date?" Hodgin asked. "No, he is my security detail when I am not here seeing how I was shot at, did anyone look over the other bones that were possible matches what the FBI found?" She asked Fisher stepped forward now.
"I called Sweets to see if he could in list Zach to come and aid us in looking at the bones because of his attention to great detail but sweets said it wouldn't be wise to tempt him when he is on the way to recovery."
"Well I would have to agree with you that wouldn't be wise but I wish it was possible"
"So doesn't it hurt?" Angela asked looking at her puffy sleeve where bandages were.
"Yes but not as bad as when Booth slammed my head to the floor." They winced watching while she continued on with her work of looking over the bones.
"Did you go to the doctors?" She tried again.
"Fisher what were the results for the seriated edge?"
"Nothing so far Angela was looking at possible blades." Brennan turned to Angela who still stared at her confused she shook her head and looked at her drawling pad. "Nothing so far that can by-pass skin and slice through bone."
"What if it's not a blade?" Brennan said lifting the bone they looked at each other then the bones in thought. "Like a laser?" Hodgin asked Brennan looked up and at him.
"Yes like a laser!"
"I will look up possible hospitals who are in the process or have already gotten a license for the new Laser treatment for the heart. I heard they could mend a bleeder without touching skin."
"How would you cut bone with a laser?" Angela asked Brennan looked up.
"With enough constant heat from the laser or enough concentration on the side it would start to chip away at the bone, once past its outer layer it would break from marrow down." Brennan answered looking way from the cut bone.
"This was the first one then?" Cam asked.
"No if it broke it would have splintered a bit, falling from that height could have easily been over looked." Fisher said Brennan looked up and nodded.
~*~
"A laser?" Booth asked as they drove to a hospital.
"Yes Doctors are testing a new laser technology here the laser is so fine it can mend or cut and organ or growth without the need to cut someone open and physically do it. However some hospitals don't have licenses to use them because they are still in the test trial. If one of the doctors used it illegally and accidentally killed them then…"
"They would have a reason to cover it but what about you what doesn't that have to do with you."
"I know the only doctor who has any knowledge of the lasers use. I saw him at a conference last month I was brought in to see if the Laser could actually make it through the density of bone. I never would have thought it could make it easily through skin and cut through a solid mass in high concentration. I told the Doctor that the bone would have no reason to be cut." He nodded and turned into the parking lot.
"Didn't like you?" He asked Brennan shrugged. "What does not liking me have anything to do with what I just told you?"
"Well Bones you can be a bit…pushy when telling someone their product wont work. He could have taken offense and is trying to scare you with the remains of a victim that was a success."
"He died I don't see much success in that."
"Well when you put it that way."
"I felt a little out of his league I mean with his starting career riding on the passing of this machine seems a bit reckless to me."
"What? You think this guy has it out for you with a sniper because you were out of his league? And I put my job on the line all the time for you."
"That is true but it is for a purpose this guy thinks this shinny new toy is worth thousands of dollars but what it will do is raise the price for the patient. And yes I do men find many reason to take offense to women not liking the way they look." Booth looked at her again.
"How about I do all the talking when I get in there huh?" She shook her head confused and fallowed him inside. They went to the front desk and asked if they did the laser procedure here. The Nurse said it was in the start of being available; they were just finishing up the last bits of installment.
"She seemed legit to me." Brennan said Booth looked at the woman then looked back to Bones.
"Wait for a minute." He walked back.
"Do you see my wife over there?" the nurse looked at Brennan then Booth who was watching her. "Y-yes?"
"Her heart condition is growing worse everyday and the tumor is in a place where there are no way fingers and surgical tools can get in there, this surgery can save her life. Do you know if there is a place I can take her? We have been to sixteen hospitals…We will pay anything…"
"What took you so long in there?" Brennan asked as they walked towards the car Booth tripped her so she fell.
"Clutch your heart now! Act like you mean it!"
"What?" she asked doing as she was told.
"I got us in now play your parts." Brennan confused howled in agony clutching er chest.
"Please someone my wife! Her heart!"
Brennan and Booth sat in a large room Booth dressed a paper gown while Bone stood off to the side. They were waiting for the evidence they needed to shut this guy down for good. Naturally being under cover the nurse didn't tell the doctor who was having the heart problems or the doctor just assumed because it was Booth under the knife and Brennan with the doctor.
"I see he has calmed down from outside shall we take a look at his heart?" Brennan looked at the table at Booth who sat nervously then turned back to him and nodded. She fallowed the doctor to the side where the machine moved and headed towards the growing more nervous Booth.
"Now let's see" He looked into the scope then looked out then in again.
"Ah there is the tumor small proceeding and this will all be over." Brennan looked at the machine while he was preparing to start working. He looked over at her and smiled as she stood there.
"The waiting room would be more comfortable." She shook her head.
"Is there any risk of this making the tumor bigger?" She asked the doctor shook his head and paused. "Have I seen you before?" She didn't answer she was watching him carefully.
"I see agent Booth has quite a large one here on his heart. I could have sworn you were at the convention for this machine, are you sure I haven't seen you?
"No." She answered honestly the doctor froze and went to hit the start button but Brennan was there and kicked him to the side she pressed the com button to the room where Booth was.
"Booth!" She said then looked over to the side as the man came back towards her with a needle. She hit the window behind her try to hold him off but her bullet wound wasn't going to hold him off for very long.
"BOOTH!"
"Naked Bones don't turn" He yelled she clamped her eyes as a gun shot went off and the man hit the floor. She opened her eyes and looked at him on the ground holding his shoulder writhing in pain. Brennan respectfully listened as clothes were pulled on and Booth came over half naked but had pants.
"What happened?" He asked checking the man then stood up checking her arm as she held her now bleeding arm the wound had opened completely again. This time stitches would be necessary good thing they were already here in a hospital.
"He was going to operate on you with the machine on your tumor that doesn't exist in your heart I felt I should stop him."
"How do you know he doesn't have a tumor?" The doctor rasped. Brennan looked down at him. "Because I checked his files very carefully on his last visit to the hospital for a tumor!" She said Booth grinned prideful and turned his attention wiggling his brows.
"See my friend she is a doctor after all and knows the body pretty good." The man just groaned and looked over as the police came into the room. Brennan bent down and looked at the clear liquid inside the seringe he tried to stab her with.
"Booth I am not sure but this could be…a sedative."
"What for sleeping?" He asked she shrugged and handed it to one of the police. "I am not sure."
"Bones?" He asked she looked over at him he pointed to her blood soaked shirt.
"So why were you in her house?" Booth asked the doctor. After the bullet was removed and he was in recovery Booth went to interrogate him while Bones was getting her stitches.
"Whose house?" he asked "The woman you tried to kill with a needle!" The doctor shook his head.
"Yes the body you asked me about earlier is mine, but I was not in her house…the man was an accident…he really was sick and you well you were just that last test we needed. You would have walked out no different then you would have come in…except a better actor perhaps…" Booth rolled his eyes.
"Stay with me how did the body get into her house?"
"I have no idea I rolled it down to the autopsy room and left it there. Doctor Suro is in charge down there as well as the first floor; she has seniority but took the coroners room we work together on getting this machine to pass all its tests." Booth sighed and stopped rubbing his forehead looking back to the man.
~*~
"Alright Dr. Brennan I am Dr. Suro I will give you a few stitches and you will be ready to go."
"Go where?" Brennan asked looking at her as she readies a local. Brennan eyed the shot. There would be no real reason other then comfort for a local but there was no need for that much unless she was going to do surgery.
"Well go home I suspect you look like you had a big day…wow this is a neat shot clean though you skin but not hurting your muscle." Brennan felt the need to move away from her as she looked at the wound spreading it a bit more.
"I am really okay I think I will just wait till I get back to my lab."
"Oh don't be silly Dr. Brennan you will be a very pretty trophy corpse." Before she could move away the needle was injected and stabbed into her neck. This wasn't a local it was a sedative. Everything went black and hot last thing she heard was.
"Good night Doctor."
~*~
Booth went to look up Dr. Suro and found she was the doctor working on Bones's arm. He grew panicked when the room was empty; he called her cell which went straight to voicemail. He ran to his car dialing FBI.
"Dr. Brennan has been kidnapped try to trace her phone and run a background check on a Dr. Suro I am going over to her house to see if she is there." He hung up and gunned it. His phone rang again which he answered immediately.
"Booth."
"Its Hodgin I tried to reach Dr. Brennan is she with you?"
"Currently no, what do you have?" He asked. "I found a hair on the victim's clothes something was bothering me about it so I rechecked over it and found it. I ran a DNA test and our guy is in the system for malpractice!"
"No shit? Good job Hodgin! Look Brennan has been kidnapped is there anything you can tell me about where the body was for three days before it fell on my truck?"
"What? Again why does this keep happening with you two, I will double check the dudes address is 5467 Wallow Street."
Booth hung up and turned his sirens on and headed to the location he was given.
"Ah Temperance Brennan aka Bones the great anthropologist. You shouldn't have taken my baby brother to jail all those years for those missing girls…" a voice came Brennan felt groggy but semi-awake.
"Brother?" she mumbled trying to open her eyes.
"Yes my Brother James was a good boy smart and great with riddles and tricks but you sent him to jail with a life sentence."
"Actually the evidence did, you brother did the murders!" Brennan said getting her vision back as well as her voice she was starting to wake fully. She could feel her wrist aching above her; she was suspended over the ground. She looked below her at the plastic covered table and walls. Clean precise there was the machine from earlier off to the side large and dreadful looking. Her heart sank as she looked at the woman again she tugged on her long blond hair and smiled as she leaned against the metal table below Brennan. This woman didn't look familiar or the connection to the hospital.
"Don't worries I am not a monster I just like revenge… besides…killing runs in the family, who do you think brought those girls home? They were girls who pretended to be my friend little did they know I was pretending to be theirs….and after my brother had his fun with them he sliced them all up and I got to practice my skills with the bodies…but you grew smart on my brother he became obsessed with you and trying to trick you and that's what got him caught…I am far smarter I will just be rid of you and then maybe go after the rest of your friends…family…Booth… you were going to have his baby right? Oh so sad…maybe I will cut your stomach out and leave it for him…a token of your love for him maybe?"
"Leave them out of this…" Brennan struggled but wasn't awake enough to pull herself up the handcuffs had caused small rips in her skin, the bleeding was a light flow but the warm blood over her chilled skin sent her skin into a lather of goose bumps.
"Oh but it would be so much nicer for you to die knowing you brought this upon them." The chains began to lower and she grew closer and closer to the table below her. Once laid down she was retrained and bound to the table. Brennan struggled against her the whole time making it difficult to do smoothly.

"Anything?" Booth demanded. "He owned a warehouse by the docks I will go check it out send for back up." Booth jerked the wheel again he had gone by the address and found the gun that probably was shot to kill Bones. He had felt this panic before but wished it wasn't Bones again; she didn't need more of a reason to detach from people.
"Hang in their Bones I am coming for you…I just need a little more time…"

"So before I proceed in making you…well unrecognizable even if your body was given to yourself, are there any last words?"
"Actually yes…" Brennan said the woman lowered her scalp and pushed the machine towards her.
"Does it hurt?"
"Does what hurt?"
'THIS!" Brennan brought her newly escaped leg up and kicked the woman's head knocking her a decent distance away and over the instrument table. Pulling her other leg from the strap she wiggled herself towards her pulling legs and under the straps and tried to run only to be tripped by the recovered woman.
"Where are you going?" She demanded getting another face full of foot. Brennan struggled to get away again when a sharp pain entered her calf. She swore and looked back the woman had stabbed her with the needle again; she would have a bit of time but not much. Getting to her feet she limped away as her leg started to go numb.
"Come back here you bitch!" The woman yelled Brennan ran to the door but found it was locked she tried another then another but they were all locked. Seeing a window she dragged herself towards but the woman was recovered but her face was a bloody mess. Bones couldn't help to note she broke the woman's nose…two places.
"Get back here!" She yelled she too was limping. Brennan was starting to sag her other leg grew heavy as led and her head was light and fuzzy. Brennan reached a table and grabbed a chair she raised it and struck the woman twice knocking her to the floor and attempted to break the glass on the window she had hobbled over to. Once it shattered she climbed out stabbing herself twice with broken window. Once through the hand another though the shoulder. She stumbled twice down the stairs of the top floor it was then her spinning head realized she wasn't on the bottom floor she was on the top floor of a factory by the docks from the looks of things it was long abandoned. Brennan looked at her as the woman pulled herself from the ground spitting blood she winced and headed towards the ground.
It was a long way down, her legs was feebly failing her. Once there she looked up as the woman came crawling out after her. Staggering further down she reached the pebbled ground and attempted running again but it didn't get her to far she was fading and fading fast. Running only accelerated the drug in her system. Just when there was no hope left the sweet sounds of sirens came to her ears. She stopped running (staggering) and watched as Booth's SUV skidded to a halt and he leapt from the car running towards her. She could have cried but she was fading out her muscles couldn't move they were paralyzed she tipped forward meeting his strong arm.
"Come on Bones open those pretty eyes."
"Drug…system….get her….in warehouse…" He scooped her up and headed to the truck to put her inside on his way towards the truck the building behind him exploded lurching them forward to the rocky ground. He turned and looked at the woman on the fire escape burning and screaming. He winced looking at the unconscious Bones and smiled. Fire trucks as well as his back up came to the rescue seconds later finding them on the ground.
"What happened?" One man asked.
"Bones escaped…grabbed her was about to put her in the truck and it lit up like freaking Fourth of July…" The man nodded and looked at the raging flames.
"You can go we will let you know what we find…" Booth nodded and headed to the truck to put the sleeping Brennan in the passenger seat. He looked her over carefully before starting towards the driver seat and to the hospital.
Brennan stirred awake and carefully opened her heavy eyes. She was in a familiar place. Booth's apartment. It smelled like him…felt safe and warm. She snuggled into her pillow closing her eyes again but opened them when her pillow moved. She lifted her head slowly and carefully it throbbed like someone hit it with a rock.
Booth was sleeping on the couch with her he was sitting up right the remote in his hand the TV still playing on the football channel. His mouth hung open his free arm was on top on the couch. She smiled and laid back down onto her pillow and watched the game that was playing.
I am awake are you…?
