Takes place during Two Bodies in the Morgue
"Oh, there are glasses in the cupboard." Bones began to turn back towards the stereo still smiling, then she froze. She felt the explosion before she ever actually her it. Tempe spun on her heal just in time to see Agent Seeley Booth land hard on the floor and then her fridge door landed with a crushing blow on his chest.
No... Tempe grabbed the edge the rug on the floor, dragging it over to smother the flames burning on Booth's chest. He was mercifully unconscious; Bones searched with numb, trembling fingers for her cell phone. What had happened? What was going on? Hands shaking she dialed 9-1-1 into her cell phone. That explosion - it had been meant for her... but Booth had triggered it instead. Now he might die because he was trying to protect her...
Bones gingerly brushed her fingers across the FBI agents forehead as she explained her situation to the 9-1-1 operator. Her chest felt tight, she could barely breathe.
"We'll have an ambulance there in a few minutes. Keep an eye on his pulse and don't try to move that door!" Bones hung up; she needed to phone the Jeffersonian, but she couldn't think strait. Every time Tempe closed her eyes she heard the explosion again; saw Booth fly across the room, flames following him... She bent down and whispered into Booth's ear, even though she knew he couldn't hear her,
"They're coming, Booth. You hang on; it's going to be alright." She wasn't thinking logically, Bones knew that, but she couldn't do anything else. Tempe's lips moved from his ear to gently brush against his cheek, then his lips. She could feel the tears in her eyes, but she refused to shed them,
"Hang on, Booth. Hang on, Seeley," Bones gulped slightly and unexpected words flooded from her mouth, "I don't know what I'd do without you..."
