It had been a very long day for Brennan at the Jeffersonian. Her, Booth, and the other squintz had just finished a case that was over 30 years old, involving a smuggler from Chicago. The time was already 10:30 at this point and Brennan was still typing up a final report for the FBI, when Booth walked in.

"Bones it's getting late and you look exhausted"

"Booth I have to get this report typed up. If I don't do it now then I may not get a chance tommorow I need to get this done and over with."

"You won't get anything by not having rest!!!! As long as Cullen gets the report in by 2:00 tommorow you'll be fine. Come on Bones, look your eyes are already half way shut!!! Come on up and at'em!!!"

Booth grabbed her arm and Brennan was just so tired that she didn't even feel like trying to resist him.

"Ok I'll go if that will make you happy!!!!"

"Yes Bones it will make me happy. We can a forensic anthropolgist sleeping on the job during the day now can we?"

He looked at her with that adorable charm smile that always turned her on. Brennan grabbed her coat and bag and walked with Booth to the parking garage. As usual he tells her goodbye and says "Be careful going home" and naturally she replies with "you too." Brennan couldn't, in all honesty, wait to get home. The visual image of comfortable bed kept coming up in her mind and she knew she was just going to jump into it once at home. Booth was also thinking of bed on his way home as well. Between work and Parker, Booth was a very exhausted person. After driving a short distance from the Jeffersonian to her apartment, Brennan quickly made her way upstairs to her apartment and unlocked the door. She simply threw everything that she was holding into a chair and changed into her night clothes. After she was all ready for bed she simply tucked herself in her comfy bed and fell right asleep into a deep dark dream.

Brennan's dream very slowly became a nightmare. In the beginning of the dream she saw herself in a dark place. Perhaps some kind of room or cell with only 1 light, which was above, and no doors or windows. She started yelling for Booth, then her friends, and the her dad and Russ, but only one voice responded. It was a fimilar voice, but not any of her friends or family. Brennan turned and looked to a corner of the room to her left and saw a dark mysterious figure walking towards her. The figure's face was down and he appeared to be wearing an ornage jump suit. Once the figure came into the light Brennan realized it was a man and then her heart skipped a few beats, when he rose his face up and looked at her in the eye.

"Epps?"

"Hello Dr. Brennan"

"No that's impossible you're dead, where am I?. I'm dreaming I know I am but why?...you're not real!!!!"

"Silly woman, you would like to think that wouldn't you!!!! You may think I'm dead..."

"No I know you are dead. I watched you fall as you slipped from Booth's hand!!!!"

"Believe all you like Dr. Brennan the truth will come soon enough!!!! What a shame too that this is only a dream there is sooooo much I wanted to tell you and share with you..."

Epps started to touch her then,... Brennan woke up. Startled by this odd experience she went to get a glass of water from the bathroom. Looking in the mirror she had sweat all over her face and felt very warm on the head. Afraid to go back to sleep, she sat on her couch and turned on some music to come her nerves. About an hour later Brennan fell asleep again, but this time in dreamless sleep. She felt more at peace than the last time, but was still a little shaken up.

In her mind as she laid there asleep, she kept thinking, "No, it's impossible Howard Epps is dead. It was dream a simple dream, no more like nightmare." The rest of the night was peaceful rest for her, but when she returned to work the events from the dream started to come back to her yet again.
