After I saw the 100th ep, this story idea circled my head and wouldn't leave me alone. I decided to write the beginning and let you guys decide if you guys are interested.

This is based on Booth's decision to move on and how he realizes the hard way that that is not going to happen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you breaking up with me?" Booth stared at the woman seated in front of him. Her question pleaded for an answer that was more than obvious. Booth and Vanessa had been dating for a couple of months. Things were great at first; physical attraction being the key ingredient. She was tall, beautiful with brown hair and hazel eyes. As the relationship progressed, Booth began to notice that things would not end well between them. Booth had to bite his lips to not scream his Bones' name every time he slept with Vanessa. To turn matters worse, Vanessa had turned out to be a jealous freak who wanted to know where Booth was 24/7. Things were bad, and it was best to cut it short.

Sighing Booth answered, "Because we fight all the time and don't love each other."

"I love you." She said with tears. "You're the one who can't forget that…" Booth shot her a glare before she could insult Brennan.

Booth's phone beeped indicating he had a text message. He flipped his phone open and saw it was from Brennan.

"It's her, isn't it? How can we work things out if that slut's always throwing herself at you?" Booth shot her an angry glare before reading the message.

Got an ID off dentals. Sent info to your email. Brennan.

"It's over. We have no future, accept it." He slapped some bills on the table and rose from his chair. "I have to go to work." He said as he started to leave.

"Sure, if that's what it's called now." Booth ignored the statement and walked out making the decision that being alone was better than in bad company.

"With her out of the picture we can work it out." Vanessa told herself as she walked to the exit of the restaurant.

-----

"Hodgins and Cam already took their respective samples and we can move on to clean the bones." Brennan told Daisy as she removed her gloves. "Inform me immediately when that's done."

"Sure thing Dr. Brennan." Daisy nodded. As Brennan turned to leave the platform, Vanessa went up the steps.

"You slut." Vanessa spat angrily at the anthropologist.

"I beg your pardon?" Brennan knew Vanessa was Booth's girlfriend, although she had never talked to the woman. Brennan had just seen her from far away.

"You heard me. It's your fault Seeley and I can't work things out." Anger and jealousy were evident in the woman's voice.

"You should discuss your relationship problems with Booth not with me." Brennan stated.

"No, it's your fault. You're always in between." The woman's scandalous accusations had gathered the attention of a few nearby workers.

Brennan never went by her gut feeling, but her gut was telling her that this could end badly. Brennan didn't have the time or energy to deal with an angry/jealous girlfriend. Turning her head she said to Ms. Wicks, "Those bones need to be cleaned as soon as possible." Brennan was about to start walking towards her office when Vanessa pulled out a gun.

"You won't be getting in the way any more." Two shots were fired resounding loudly across the lab. The bystanders were frozen not knowing what was going on or if anyone was hurt. Brennan stood feeling the pain and the blood begin to soak through her shirt and lab coat. She tried to brace herself on the table were the remains were laid out, but she didn't have the strength and fell on her back. Daisy gasped taking in the scene.

Hodgins quickly ran to Dr. Brennan's side pressing the wound as the guards disarmed the woman and called for an ambulance. Cam and Angela hurried out of the artist's office when they heard the gunshots. Seeing all the commotion on the forensics platform they quickly made their way to it. Gasping, Cam and Angela took in the sight of their friend and coworker on the floor.

Hodgins had tears in his eyes at the amount of blood the anthropologist was losing. "Be strong you're gonna make it, Dr. B." Hodings respected and esteemed her greatly.

Brennan never believed in the whole 'life flashing before your eyes' thing, but as she lied on the floor her life was literally flashing before her eyes with Booth constant in the flashing images.

"I'll go with her in the ambulance." Angela said as the paramedics headed out with Brennan on the gurney. Cam grabbed her cell to call Booth.

Sweets was walking to Booth's office when he received a text from his Daisy. He thought it was the usual 'I love you' text, but almost fell back when he read:

Dr. Brennan's been shot. Lots of blood.

Sweets bumped into a desperate Booth outside of the agent's office. "Cam just called to tell me Bones was shot."

"I know. Daisy sent me a message." The two made their way out of the Hoover and over to the hospital.

-----

"How is she?" Booth asked when he found Cam, Angela, Hodgins and Daisy at the hospital. He couldn't help but notice the blood stains on Hodgins' shirt.

"Shot twice. The bullets are logged very close to the heart. She's going into surgery right now. It's a very risky operation because she's lost a lot of blood and the slightest movement could cause any of the bullets to pierce through her heart." Cam spoke.

"How did it happen?" Booth asked. How the hell did she get shot at the lab? Booth thought.

"Not sure. Daisy was the one who was there." Angela answered this time.

Daisy took in a deep breath and started. "We were on the forensics platform and Dr. Brennan told me to clean the bones and inform her as soon as that was done. She was getting ready to walk to her office when a woman of about her height with brown hair walked up the steps."

"Vanessa." Cam said softly.

Daisy continued, "The woman started insulting Dr. Brennan…calling her a slut and blaming her for being in the way. Next thing I know the woman pulled out a gun, fired, and Dr. Brennan fell to the floor. It was all too fast." Daisy broke into tears feeling guilty for not being able to do anything about the situation.

"It's not your fault." Sweets walked to hug his crying girlfriend.

As they waited for the surgery to be over, Booth thought about how the whole mess started when he told his Bones that he needed to move on.

Please, please, please review and let me know if there's interest.
