Chapter 2: The Truth Comes Out
"Booth, I'm waiting." Brennan stated, impatiently.
"Pelant made me break off the engagement. He said that if I didn't break it off, he would kill five innocent people. He also said that if I told you the reason why, he would still five people. Bones, my conscience can't handle the thought of people dying just for my happiness." Booth stated.
"Oh my god." Brennan stated, her eyes going wide.
"See, I told you that you wouldn't like the truth." Booth replied.
"Bones say something!" Booth exclaimed as the moment of her silence dragged on.
"I don't care what Pelant says or does, he has no right to decide whether or not we get married. Which is we will be getting married whether he likes or not." Brennan stated, making it final.
"Bones, he will kill innocent people." Booth exclaimed.
"Sure he will kill innocent people, but we have the resources to stop him in his tracks." Brennan stated, calming down a bit.
"Okay." Booth replied, taking a deep breath.
"Now...lets go to sleep." Brennan finally said, getting back into bed and turning off the light.
"Okay...goodnight Bones."
"Goodnight Booth."
