A/N: Right, this was a one shot that spiralled out of control. No idea if its any good. Hope you enjoy. Its inspired by the song Keep on Trying by Poco. And to all the really mega fans can you tell me what Bones episode that was used in. hehe Enjoy. Oh and if I owned this, they would have kissed in series 1 so I don't think its mine, do you? Thanks so much to Katie for beta reading. She had such brill ideas that I added some. Thanks.
Keep on tryingI've been thinkin' 'bout
All the times you told me
You're so full of doubt
You just can't let it be
But I know
If you keep on comin' back for more
Then I'll keep on tryin'
I'll keep on tryin'
Brennan sat in the car, waiting for Hodgins to come around. She sat there and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. She knew that if they didn't pay the ransom her and Hodgins would die. However she also knew that they had to be looking for them. She just hoped that they had enough time. She looked at the digital clock on the car display the seconds flashing by as of they were mocking her.
She thought back to something that Booth had told her once, that she had no faith in God, specifically his God. She had argued that there was no rational proof that God existed. He had countered that by calling her a doubting Thomas. He said that she never believed in anything without evidence. She was full of doubt and couldn't look past the empirical facts and just trust that some things went on faith.
Yet somehow Brennan knew, even though she was sitting in the dying light of the car, and that they were buried only God knew where, that Booth would find them. He always found her and she didn't see why this time would be any different. Even though they argued and bickered constantly she knew that Booth would find her. He always did. And when he did, they would continue to bicker and argue. She knew that when they were out he would still try to convince her that God existed and that faith was real. She just knew it. He had to. He was their only hope.
Booth paced the room restlessly. He needed to know where his Bones was. He was damn worried about Hodgins as well, as much as he hated to admit it, he liked the guy. But this was Bones and he needed to find her. He couldn't believe the text that had arrived at his phone, like he told the squints, he had done all the normal American guy stuff already yet they still went ahead and did it as well.
He remembered one case when Brennan had bluntly told him that he didn't trust her team. She said that he doubted their abilities. He had laughed it off at the time but the truth was that he had. You would too if you were told by a bunch of science geeks what killed a guy and who killed him when they had only had access to the guys x-rays. But he kept his head this time around and it had paid off. They got the bad guy. So they would this time, they had to.
Shaking his head to try and clear some of the maelstrom of thoughts Booth thought back to how many times he had walked through the very doors that he was pacing in front of now. Loads, that was the answer. And not just for cases either. Sometimes he just came back to make sure that Bones had left and that she had eaten, and no matter how many times he did she was always there and always protested being 'abducted'. But he kept on trying to get her to leave at a sensible time. It never happened, but he would keep on trying, because they were going to find Bones and Hodgins. They were. They had to.
Booth stopped pacing for a moment and sighed 'I have to find them'.
Brennan looked back at the still unconscious Hodgin's and put her head in her hands 'He has to find us'.
Then he heard Zach's words. " I know where they are" He knew that he would be dragging Bones out of the lab again tonight. He just knew.
