Prologue - Scared.
The phone in the office of entomologist Jack Hodgins rings.
"Bugs and Slime. What's your poison?"
"Disappear Jack." a deep voice said on the other end of the line,
"Sorry, who is this?" Jack said, confused.
"Disappear Jack, or you won't have a wedding." the voice said, more seriously,
"Who are you? and what do you want?" Jack almost shouted down the phone, but all he got in reply was a dial tone, "Hello? Hello?" He slammed the phone down and ran out the office, plucking hard at the elastic band around his wrist. He headed straight to Angela's office to check she was OK.
"Angela have you received any strange phone calls lately?" He said as he entered the artist's office,
"Hello to you to." She said, getting up and kissing him on the cheek,
"Ange, please I'm serious have received any odd phone calls lately?" He said, staring her straight in her eyes,
"No Jack. Why?" She looked at her fiancee, worried,
"I just a phone call telling me to disappear or there won't be a wedding. That normally means that one of is in danger." He couldn't remove his eyes from hers,
"Oh my god." she gasped,
"Do you know if Booth is still here?"
"He's in Bren's office. You are going to tell him everything?"
"Of course. I want this nutter out of the way so i can marry you." He kissed on the lips, "stay in your office and don't leave the Jeffersonian with out telling me. OK?"
"Sure." She looked at him, fear was easily seen in her eyes. She let Jack go and return to her computer. She hoped to distract her mind with her work.
"I'll be back in a minute." Jack turned and left the room, leaving Angela to her thoughts and work.
When he looked in Brennan's office the lights were out. Dashing round the ground floor of the lab he saw no sign of them. Spotting Zach at his desk he darted to him.
"Zach, where Brennan?" he said quickly. Zach looked up from his work and in to the frightened eyes of his colleague,
"She and Agent Booth are in a meeting with Dr. Goodman. What's the matter?" Zach said, worried as he had never seen Hodgins this scared,
"No time, I need to talk to Booth right away."
He darted up the stairs and barged straight into Goodman's office.
"Dr. Hodgins." Goodman said, staring at the entomologist, "We are in an important meeting, please wait."
"I'm sorry Dr. Goodman, but it is urgent that I speak to Agent Booth now." Jack said, out of breath,
"It can wait..." Goodman tried to say, but Jack interrupted,
"I'm afraid it can't." he looked at Booth, who saw straight away how scared he was.
"I'll just be a minute Dr. Goodman. Continue without me." Booth got up and left the room, placing a hand on Tempe's shoulder. She looked just as confused as Goodman was angry.
"Jack what's so important that you had to interrupt that meeting?" Booth said, he wasn't happy about it, it was a very important meeting.
"I just received a phone call. Mine or Angela's life is in danger." He said, trying to stay calm by snapping the elastic band around his wrist,
"What? What did the call say?" Booth was now worried,
"If I don't disappear then there will be no wedding next weekend." Booth turned around and back into the office, Jack followed.
"Dr. Goodman, something serious has just come up. I'm afraid this meeting will have to be postponed." he said, looking the archaeologist in the eye,
"Agent Booth, what is so important that we interrupt a budget meeting?" Goodman said, his confusion now matched that of Tempe's,
"A threat on the life of one of you employees." He said simply.
