He was sitting on a blue colored plastic bench with his hands clutch tightly. A group of people came out of the opposite doors with a defeated look on their faces. Chatters from one end of the hall became louder as a group of workers passed him by. A minute later, he looked up in hopes to see a familiar face but it was an old man strolling through the hall with his wheelchair. It almost all seemed unreal to Seeley Both who now had his eyes closed and sighted in defeat.

"Booth, look out!"

The red gun's laser was pointing straight into Booth's heart. There was no chance of surviving the hit if the dishonest man took his shot. He had once taken a bullet for her; now they were going to get even. Without hesitating, she ran to hug her partner.

"Bones..." The contact of the bullet inside her flesh made her body collided hard against Booth's. She whimpered from the pain and her body fell limp into his arms. He caught her by the waist and slowly laid her down the floor.

"Go Booth, go get him." She said while breathing heavily.

"No way I'm leaving you out here in your state. Geez Bones, you're bleeding so much... there's so much blood." His voice trembled as he repeating his observation twice. Tears were streamed down Brennan's face as she begged him to catch the shooter once more. He nodded, placed a kiss on her forehead and ran towards his prey.

He ran fast. His determination and anger boiled his blood fiercely. The man was running down the apartment building's staircase towards the exit making his way to his car. Booth stopped at the second level and aimed his gun towards the man from the small window. It only took a second for Booth to decide to take his life. A loud sound erupted from his gun and the corrupted man was now put down drenched in his blood next to his car. He put his gun away and took a brief moment to catch his breath. Samuel McCartney wasn't going to be his 51 kill. Seeley Booth had no remorse taking his life.

Without looking back, Booth moved like the speed of light back to where his partner laid.

"Did you get him?" Her complexion was white.

"Yes. Bones...Oh God...why didn't you just shove me aside. What the hell were you thinking?" His voice trembled at the sight of her satin white blouse turning into a light shade of red.

"He was going to kill you." Booth lifted her in his embrace.

"Temperance Brennan you are not allowed to take a bullet for me."

She cried and laughed at the same time. "Booth, don't yell at me, I'm dying."

"Don't talk like that. Bones, stay with me. Talk to me, the paramedics should be here at minute." He squeezed her hand. Her blood was spreading all over his clothes.

"I'm sleepy. Bullet hit my artery...I'm not going to make it." She touched his face leaving her bloody finger marks on his cheek.

"Come on Temperance...you're strong. I need you to survive this. We have to catch more murderers...I can't do it without you."

The sounds of sirens were getting louder. The pain was unbearable; she lost consciousness.

"Bones!!"

Ah HA! What happens next?? Does she survive or die? Niahahaha…yes, I'm evil.
