The night was lit by stars as Angie looked out of the window. The clear sky did nothing to ease her mood. She felt sick as she thought of the events of the last few hours. One of their own was in ICU and she had no idea who had been responsible. She sighed as she felt Hodgins take her hand.
"She will be ok."
"I hope so." She turned to see him watching her. "I really hope so."
"So do I." Bones turned to face her friends. "Cam has been so happy recently. Her and Arastoo. Having Michelle back in her life."
"I know." Booth ran a hand through his hair. "There is nothing I can do here. I'm going back to the Jeffersonian, I need to go through the security cameras. I need to see what happened there last night."
"She fell from the balcony onto the tiled floor some ten feet below." Temperance explained. "You know that."
"Yeah." He nodded. "But I want to know if she was pushed."
"Don't." Daisy covered her ears with her hands. "Don't. Who would want to hurt Dr Sayoran? And why?"
"I don't know." Angie sighed. "I just don't know."
"Why was she even at The Jeffersonian?" Temperance asked. "I am always there later than everyone else. I was sure she had left before I did."
"We'll find out." Booth stated. "You know we will. As soon as she can tell us what happened." Both fell silent as Arastoo walked towards them from the ICU entrance.
"How is she?" Angie asked. The look on his face said it all. Michelle looked away, on the verge of tears.
"The doctors say she is badly injured." Arastoo stated as he looked at his fiance's friends and colleagues. Hodgins swore under his breath as Daisy bit her lip. "Her brain may be damaged from the fall."
"Oh God." Booth looked away. Cam was one of the most intelligent and caring people he knew, the thought that she was likely to be brain damaged made him feel sick with anger.
"She is a very strong person." Angie looked at Michelle. "I've known her long enough to know that."
"Yeah." Booth nodded. "Yeah she is."
"Have they said anything about raised intracranial pressure? About neurological function?" Temperance asked.
"No, not yet. The doctors here wish her to be assessed by the neurosurgeon and the spinal team. Then we will know more. It looks like that she will need surgery to release pressure and to repair her left leg. But at the moment they are not worried about the leg. She's on life support at the moment."
"Someone did this." Booth curled his hands into fists as he saw the pain on the intern's face. He knew how he would feel if his wife was in the coma, how he did feel when she had been shot by the ice bullet.
"I believe so." Arastoo spoke, his heart breaking at the sound of Michelle's sobs. Angie instinctively hugged the teenager to her.
"And we will find out who and why." Temperance glared at the wall. "And we will stop them."
