Prologue.

She could hear the footsteps coming towards her. As they got louder and more omnious she instinctively tried to shuffle as far back as remotley possible. Her back rested against a wall and she now realised she could go no further. She felt his hands as he removed the blindfold and tore the duct tape that was secured across her mouth causing herto flinch slightly. He left her hands and ankle tied which made her feel helpless.

"I'm sorry Temperance did that hurt?" the voice said in a rather sacrcastic tone. "But it was necessary. Even though I knew the drugs would have kept you out for a while I just couldn't risk you waking up finding out our location and then doing all that girly screaming".

Her vision was blurred, her head, her arms and her ribs hurt all at the same time. The sound of the voice it was one she recognised all to well No it can't be! Now that her vision was clearing she looked up staring into an all too familiar face.

"I had to do this Temperance. I just couldn't handle it, you tiptoeing around me with Booth, pretending that there nothing was going on, it just wasn't right when I had you first" his voice full of venom it was almost unrecognizable. "Do you think i'm inferior, that i'm just toy you can play with then toss away when you're get bored. Do you think I dont have feelings. He grabbed a handful of hair pulling it menacinly until she screamed in pain "Well is that what you think?"

"Is this some kind of joke? tell me this is Booths idea of a joke?" deep down she wanted it to be some cruel trick Booth was playing on her. As she sat staring into the now darkened eyes of her assailant she couldn't quite convince herself that this would have been low even for Booth.

"No joke Temperance, sorry to disappoint you" He stepped away making his way over to a bag that was slumped on the floor. He emptied the contents onto the floor. One cellphone, one novel, one water bottle and a small collection of cosmetics. Grabbing the cellphone he threw it to the floor and watched as it shattered into pieces."You' won't be needing that anytime soon" He snickered. He shoved the bottle of water at her "Here you may want a drink!".

"Please just tell me what this is all about" she questioned putting the water to one side.

Without any motive he backhanded her "SHUT UP! you don't get to ask questions but I get to ask some" and with that he began. "So how long did it take after I was gone for Booth to get in your pants eh?" His face was contorted in anger and hate.

Brennan wasn't going to give him the satisfaction by admitting she had done anything wrong "It wasn't like that!" she explained "After you left I was lonely. I never wanted for us to split up but you know I couldn't go with you. I was lonely, Booth was there but just as a friend. The last time I looked i'm an adult and quite capable of making decisions for myself".

He slapped her again harder this time. She could feel the taste of blood in her mouth. "Was I not good enough for you? did I not satisfy you enough...? he paused "or was it just the opposite and you were finding someone to compare me too beause you couldn't get enough of me".

Brennan felt tears roll down her cheeks "I haven't even slept with Booth so how would I know if he would compare" she didn't understand what he was getting at. "I thought you and Booth were friends. What have you got against him?"

"Well he struts his FBI authority around the lab pretending he knows it all even the 'squints' as he puts it probably get sick of him putting them down. Did you ever see me doing that?. Then there's Angela she was always ranting how he had a thing for you. I saw the way he used to look at you when I was around the hunger, the desire in his eyes. I would have loved to have seen his face when he found out you slept with me. That must have really destroyed him knowing that I had you before he did. Now he finally has you it'll be so much harder for him when he loses you don't you think?"

Was he serious? this mild tempered person standing in front of her,the sweet natured guy who she had the upmost respect for. She had cared for him once, even loved him hell she had slept with him.

"I was never good enough for you" He barked as he was trying to fight all these feelings he was feeling.

Brennan watched as took out something metal out of his jacket that now glinted in his hand. "Now if I was any normal killer I would be sloppy, leave evidence,clues I would be dumb but since i'm not any normal killer I don't make mistakes. Who's the smart one now Temperance" He pointed his finger towards himself "Thats right me!".

"No please, what are you doing? was he going to kill her? right here right now?

"This is what I have to do and you or no one is going to tell me otherwise" he pulled the knife up in a stabbing motion.

"NO! SULLY NO! please don't hurt me".
