About the way time moves

In the present:

It is 8 hours ahead of the stated time in LA and Las Vegas that are 3 days and 16 hours in the past

It is 5 hours ahead of the stated time in Washington DC that are 3 days and 16 hours in the past

DC is 3 hour's time difference then the LA and Vegas

I hope your getting this

I wrote this story out of a personal challenge to my self to see if I could tackle the way the movie Déjà vu was written, I would love four you to read it and let me know if I did well.

Epps took the police car it had tracking he tapped in the FBI tracking file and got Booths Vehicle he waited following the location

11:55am

Booth came out of the meeting he and Liz got in the car

Booth said "this is Crazy"

Liz said "Temperance should be at the train station with Rebecca"

Booth said "we'll get her"

Booth started the car, the clock flash 11:59 and Liz said "you smell that"

Booth said "Gas"

Liz said "and something burnt"

They looked in the Back seeing Angels partially burned body Booth only had time to look out the car door window at 12:00pm the Car Blew up. Taking the front of FBI headquarters with it and surrounding vehicles.

1pm

Gideon, Hochner and Temperance, got to the scene Gideon took a breathe seeing the destruction it was 911 all over again News crews people were all over a Detective said "we got three witness that want to talk to you"

Gideon said "not now" he is a medium built man with dark hair thinning about 49 years old if you had to guess slightly chubby most people didn't mess with him he had that presents about him, and Hochner full head of hair always in a suit boss of the group even though Gideon presents felt more like the boss, Hochner was about 37 they were two of the criminal profilers that worked down the hell from Booths office, with Morgan, JJ, Reid.

Temperance walked around the scene as they collected body bags of lost Agents she was about to have a heart attack, she tried Booth's phone and didn't get an answer she was panicking she preyed he wasn't there"

Gideon and Hochner looked for Morgan, JJ and Reid as Garcia just ran up to them "oh my god I heard what happen… the others weren't" Garcia short slightly more chubby then Gideon short fat face curly blonde hair thick rimed glass and on any day could have a odd set of color streaks in her hair was the criminal profilers computer top lady like Angela was hers.

Temperance said "weren't you suppose to be in there"

Garcia said "my lucky day I went out to lunch"

Gideon said "glad you're okay"

Garcia said "oh god… Morgan and Reid were in there having a meeting with Booth and Liz"

Temperance said "they were in there"

Garcia said "they were wrapping up and preparing to leave to go get you"

Temperance shut her eyes and said "your office are on the Front Booths Office is in back so maybe he went to his office before he left and he's around here injured"

Garcia said "god I can only hope they all are"

Hochner said "I don't think we're that lucky"

Temperance said "I have to stay here and help sift"

Gideon grabbed her arm "no you don't"

Hochner said "you've gone days without the adequate amount of sleep go home… get some rest, calm down we'll call you if we find out anything" she nodded and left.

She couldn't think she went back to Booths place twenty minutes later and Rebecca was there "did you find out anything" Rebecca asked

Temperance said "no" there was a knock on there door she opened it was Hogins "what are you doing here"

Hogins said "your back I came to ask Booth if he found" he looked down "Angela"

Temperance ran her hand their her hair "oh god no… there was an explosion at FBI Head Quarters, they think that Booth and Liz got caught in it" Temperance had forgotten that quick Rebecca was standing there

She said "oh god… oh god no"

Temperance said stray tears ran down her face "looks like Epps is getting exactly what he wanted one of us dead and to kill off most of my team" she didn't know why or for what reason she went into the kitchen she leaned on the counter and faced the refrigerator and saw the letter and number magnet must have been for Parker but they spelled out something she said "Hogins come here"

"What?" Hogins asked walked in

"Does this mean anything to you" Brennan questioned

He said "3 can save and a equation for three people"

Brennan said "Booth didn't right that… and Parker is you young for that type of ratio Math"

He said "actually looks like something that you would write"

She thought about it and took it down on a pad Rebecca came in and said "there's a lot of Bloody tissue in the bathroom"

Temperance headed that way she said "Hogins get me a zip lock bag from the kitchen" she took and put on some gloved an shoved them all in the zip lock to have taken and tested "it's a possibility Booth came back her and he was bleeding"

Hogan's said "then he left"

Temperance said "leaving a bloody towel in the tub" she picked it up

Rebecca said "oh god"

Temperance went and checked the answering machine "two new Messages, 11:16am Booth It's Hogins have you found anything out… god this I all my fault I never should have taken" Booth answered "this is not a good time Hogins Me and Liz just stepped into the twilight zone were looking at out doppelgangers and Brennan's back earl it would seem"

Hogins said "yeah Booth told me you were back… I forgot that quick"

Temperance said "I just got back… Hochner brought me from he airport at twelve thirty"

She hit the button for the second message "11:55am "Booth I'm at the train station with Rebecca Hochner and Gideon… could you come get us" here was a pause "never mind Gideon's car is here we'll come find you, you probably at head quarters Rebecca wants to see you"

Temperance said "that was me"

Hogins said "something Twilight Zone I going on here"

Temperance said "I don't know what that is… Um, we have to do something, head back to the lab"

Hogins said "I'll drive" they headed to the door and Temperance opened it and Found Buffy and Angel there

Temperance said "Buffy Angel" Buffy short blond about 5'3" with a round face and cute small lips and nose slightly chubby in the lower body about 32, 33 and Liam 'Angel' O'Connor tall muscular slightly chubby short spiky hair cut always in black with the amount of weight and wrinkling on his face about 34, 35 were part of the LA forensics happily marred partners with a daughter that was 6 years old they had been helping out a lot on this case, and had put her up in there home when she was there working on the case.

Hogins said "I thought it was Booth and Liz or a second"

Temperance said "they look alike but body structures are different" she turned to them

Buffy said to her husband "she still calling me fat after I let her stay in our house"

Angel said "no that was a statement"

Temperance said "what are you doing here"

Buffy said "we followed you… we wanted to help, looks like it was a good Idea we saw FBI Head Quarters there still getting Body count"

Temperance said "it would be fruitless to ask but did you find out if Booth Lived"

Buffy said "I don't think they made it sweetheart… a woman and a man fitting our description were seen getting into FBI vehicle in front of head quarters 3o seconds later the car blew up"

Rebecca said "Oh my God"

Temperance said "we have to go back out there"

Liam said "I'll drive"

They got back out there it was near dark they got back out there the body were in bags Pile up some were full bodies some where skeletons all bagged in to different Piles, it made her sick to think that maybe her partner and friend had been killed. Her phone rang she watched the others going through the bodies she thought she heard a echo of another phone ringing near bye but that made no sense all she saw was body bags in the direction.

She answered it "hello"

The man said "hello this is Rupert Giles head of forensics at LA CSI, two of my people came there and I want you to till them to come back and as by request of there friend Mrs. Osborne she ants you and a Miss Garcia to accompany them"

"Why" She asked

He said "life or death matters and she could figure it out with your help"

Temperance said "we have a whole lot of death here"

He said "I heard I'm sorry... but your need"

Temperance asked "may I bring a few people with me"

He said "sure"

Temperance gathered them she said "Buffy Angel me and Garcia are going to LA"

Garcia said "I guess it's finally time"

Temperance said "for what"

She smiled "you'll see"

Temperance said "Hogins your coming with me"

Hogins asked "Fine but what about Angela"

Buffy said "I think all have that sinking feeling she's beyond saving"

Hogins said sadly "okay"

Garcia said "were going to LA"

Los Angeles

5pm

Brennan asked "why am I back here"

Garcia said "you will see"

Brennan said "this better be good my partner could be dead and I'm here… my best friend could be dead"

Garcia said "for a good cause"

Angel and Buffy went in to talk to there boss they stayed there a minute and then Angel opened the door and said "Brennan"

Temperance said "you wanted to see me"

"How good are you a observation?" asked Willow Rosenberg she was about Temperance height deep red hair with light red highlights, round face pointed chin both woman were built about the same she wore average clothing colors might to always mach but she seemed to make it work she was about the same Age as Buffy but looked younger

Temperance said "very I take everything in at a crime scene"

Willow said "so does Buffy and Angel"

Temperance said "your point I need to be out there looking for my friends"

Willow said "and I might be able to help you if you'll listen"

Temperance took a breath and said "I'm listening"

Willow said "I need you to come with me and Garcia"

Temperance said "can I bring Hogins"

Garcia said "sure" they headed out.

Sunnydale California

Crawford Mansion

7pm

They got out the car Temperance said "you brought me to a house" they stood in front of an old looking stone mansion

Garcia said "just come on"

Willow sad "it's not the outside it's the inside that counts"

Hogins said "you know these people"

Brennan said "been working with them off and on this case for the past four days"

Hogins said "oh" they got to the front door Garcia swiped a card and Willow entered a key code the door slip and they were in a white marble lounge area with computers hooked up and sitting around a table they walked to the glass door slide open they walked in the man hall as the screen lit up on the two walls next to her and the water fountain in front of her lit up they walked around it and into the large made room where it was a desk circling the room an large computer monitor were the mantle should have been and two on the sides a bit smaller between them were two stars case a short man came out of the side door "what is in there" Hogins asked

Oz said "the supper computer that operates all this" he was Willows husband shorter then her and he was rather quiet looked to be about her age odd colored hair dressed much like Zach did before the makeover and wore a lab coat

Hogins said "Cool"

Willow said "Angela thought you would thing so sense you helped pay for it Mr. Cantilever"

He said "that's Jack Hogin's how do you know Angela"

Garcia too her seat and Oz sit next to her he said "pull up a chair"

Buffy said "wait what is this and why didn't you tell me"

Willow said "because it's kind of illegal"

Temperance said "I don't wan anything to do with t them"

Willow said "what if I told you that what were doing right now could save there lives and possibly prevent this tragedy from happening"

Temperance sat back down "I'm listening"

Garcia said "the events of today were tragic we all lost friends… My self Angela, Willow and Oz here have been perfecting a way to stop situations like this from occurring"

"Why haven't you tested it before now" enquired Temperance

Willow answered "because we weren't sure it could work and the only way to make sure was for the event to happen and back track"

"How" asked Temperance

Willow said "well we have recorded 4 days worth of footage and we play it back, to see what happens, how things were cause and effected"

Buffy enquired "how did you record this… without a camera" Garcia had turned it on and the were looking down at Nick and Warrick's first crime scene in the ally as they had just found it

Willow answered wincing "I kind of tapped into the global satellite feed"

Garcia said "that the illegal part"

Oz said "with that Angela gave us he programming for what you call the Angulator"

Willow said "I ran it against the satellite feed"

Oz said "and my favorite 3d blue print program"

Garcia said "and I used a US mapping program, because that's all the super computer could hold with out having memory over load"

Hogins said "what did you come of with"

Willow said "Red-baby Hog-pog"

Hogins said "Angela named it"

Garcia said "yeah"

Temperance said "what does it do again"

Garcia said "it recorded the last for days, but with in it we can move around anything, anyone and anywhere in the United States get there structure make up and see anything around them"

Temperance said "that's spying"

Willow said "it can go through walls floors and any structure and see inside" Garcia moved the joy stick to show what she meant as they circled around Warrick the body and what they were doing, moving around them showing there measurements, zooming way out to just above the us and back again so close to the body you could see the holes in the bone.

Hogins said "this is incredible… I'm glad hat money Angela barrowed from me paid off"

Garcia said "the only glitch is that it only holds 4 days of information and if you miss something you can't go back"

Angel said "that why you need me knowing I had a photos graphic memory"

Buffy leaned back "all he has to do is see things once and it's remembered"

Garcia said "we were able to grab images and hold them and work with them that way as well"

Oz said "your in control, were going to hand the reigns over to you in a minute" Temperance glanced at the screen as Garcia brought up Grisome image calling Liz,

Temperance said "no going back"

Willow said "no that we couldn't do, it hold for days max of all this information and then it kicks out the very begin as you watch it the more you watch the more it kicks out"

Oz said "anything your looking at is being kicked out as we speech once you see it, it gone"

Garcia said "do you get it"

The four nodded "yeah"

Temperance said "yeah I got it"

Angel said rubbing his temples "I got it"

Hogins said "oh yeah I have it"

Buffy said "yeah I got it… uh huh… nope"

Willow said "poor Buffy's brain… as on as every body else gets it its fine and Buffy just watch the screen and look for anything important"

Oz said "are you ready"

Temperance said "as we'll ever be"

Garcia said "here we go" she pressed a key the four satellites in space watch the earth and observes for sets of people going the satellite hit Washington

Washington DC 11am

Conference room

They started the meeting to set up a profile Booth gave them as much as he had knowledge off

Gideon said "what we know"

Morgan said "from the positioning they were probably on there knees"

Booth said "can't be sure of that because his last victims were hanging upside down"

Gideon said "but he didn't kill those, his partner did… he had a hate for his mother which I'm guessing was a blonde"

Reid said "he made them beg" he was tall skinny man had the face of a young college nerd whore v neck sweaters over long sleeve or short leave shirts and some times vest and dress pants he looked like a book worm but knew a lot about things he could look at something and figure it out he had well groomed ear length hair gelled loosely back he was about 28 or 29

Morgan said "as some twisted way he wanted his mother to beg his forgiveness"

JJ said "then take her life with no mercy" Medium blond always in a suit or dress shirt and nice pants very observative she was about five for small round face and good at what he did.

Booth said "only after he held them captive for three days… but these women weren't"

Gideon said "no they were held for two"

Hochner said "more then likely grabbing the first girl he saw"

Booth said "he went to Vegas so he could have gotten her at the air port"

Gideon nodded "taking her with him and then taking the next after landing"

Booth said "sounds about right to the time frame found"

Reid said "he could possibly already have his next victim"

Booth said "or next few… he makes it a game"

Gideon said "but the problem is you play into it you give him the power and play his little game and that is where you go wrong every time"

Booth said "what do we do we have o save them"

Gideon said "that just it you think in the now, save them now… we think in the later, it's the only way you can save some one is think a head of the killer where are they going three days from now not now"

Both was about to answer when his phone rang he picked it up it was an unknown number he said "if your good see how you handle this" he hit talk and speaker

Epps said "Agent Booth, I'm going to keep this call short you're probably tracking me… how's your partner doing swamped, she'll be identifying those bodies for days"

Both said "maybe but were on to you Epps"

Epps said "wow then I guess you know who my next victim is"

Booth said "maybe"

Epps said "I would hope so I know you wouldn't want your son to attend his mothers funeral" he hung up booth was froze

Booth said "I have to go I need to find her before"

Gideon said "that would be a waste of time he use pretense to ma you think you could save her now…"

JJ said "which more then likely he already has her"

Gideon said "I give Epps credit he's smart"

Morgan said "we're smarter"

Gideon said "he's probably going to take her back to California or where a bout's there of"

JJ said "he wants to kill your team"

Gideon said "that what you follow this wild good chase is to frazzled so you'll go after her but if you want to catch him she stay with your team because that's who he's going for"

Booth said "what about Rebecca"

Morgan said "she's fine… as she can be"

Reid said "he'll probably hang her up upside down her like the other"

Morgan said "and leave her"

Gideon said "come back here and set up his victims, you try to track him here… put a warning out here at the airport, more hen likely he's in Vegas by now we can catch him on the way back"

Morgan said "we track him…"

Gideon said "…and then trap him… Morgan and Reid stay here work with Booth, Hoch come with me were going back to California"
