Author's Note:
Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my first fanfic! Since I'm new I would appreciate reviews and constructive criticism, but it's okay if you don't review. Sorry for the short chapter, I thought it would be best for the story though.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing but the storyline
There was a quite knock at Dr. Temperance Brennan's door. She looked up hopeful, wishing that it was her partner, finally coming home.
"Dr. Brennan?" A man dressed in a military uniform looked at her with sorrowful eyes, a letter in his hand.
She just stared at him. She didn't want the next moment to come.
Angela had seen the visitor come in and was now standing next to him in the doorway, staring at what was in his hand. She looked at Brennan, and then stuck her hand out to take the letter herself. The man looked at Brennan, who shook her head slightly yes, and then gave the letter to Angela.
Brennan stared at Angela as she opened the envelope, but then had to look away, too terrified that her worse fears would come true.
Two months ago, Seeley Booth, Brennan's partner and best friend, had gone to war in Iraq. She, along with the other squints, had begged him to stay, but Booth wanted to serve his country.
Brennan heard Angela gasp, and turned her eyes back to her. As soon as she saw the tears in Angela's eyes her heart nearly stopped.
"No," her voice barely made a noise, but then she found her strength, "NO!"
Angela rushed over to capture her friend in a tight hug.
Thanks again for reading! I will try and update soon.
