Temperance Brennan had just finished another long day of work. She walked to her car, sat down, and began driving home. She parked her car in her usual spot, and then headed up to her apartment. She unlocked her door, and she strolled over to her kitchen.
Temperance heard her door lock, and she spun around. She counted, and four masked men were in her apartment. Brennan moved for her cell phone, but one of the men spoke.
"You call your partner, and you and your friends die." She immediately stopped her actions. "Come, sit down on the couch." The same man said.
Temperance started to walk over to her couch, and then made a run for the door. The men tackled her, and she fought back hard. But it wasn't hard enough. They were too strong. They picked her up, tied her together, and threw her on the couch.
"Here's what's going to happen. You are going to quit your job, move far away from here, and never talk to any of your friends again." One of the other men said. Temperance shook her head.
"And, if you refuse, we will kill you, and your friends." He said. Tears invaded her eyes, and started to roll down her cheek. Then she nodded her head.
"Good, if you contact anyone you know once you leave, we will kill you all of you. But, since we are nice, we will give you some hope." A different man said. Brennan nodded her head once again.
"If you accidentally run into one of your friends, we will leave you alone. Meaning, you may move back, and get your job back." He said.
"We are going to leave now, Temperance. And if you tell them what has happened, or anything about us…we will kill all of you. We are watching you."
She nodded. They untied her, and left. Temperance went into her room, and tried to fall asleep. She couldn't, then she began to cry. Brennan didn't know how long she cried, or how late she stayed up. Next thing she knew, sunlight was leaking into her bedroom.
She walked into the Jeffersonian. But not to work. "Sweetie!" Angela yelled from across the room. Angela walked up Temperance, and saw the hurt in her eyes. "What's wrong?" She asked. Brennan simply shook her head, and stared at Angela with tears in her eyes.
Okay everybody! I kind of stopped writing my other story, so I decided to start a new one! I'm writing the next chapter now...
