"It's been two weeks Bones why aren't you opening your presents?" Booth walked in with a new case file in hand only to see his partner's office still full with presents-all unopened.
"I haven't had the time ever since…I haven't had the time." Bones took a deep steadying breath before putting on plastic gloves and pushing past Booth to get to the platform. She had a particularly nasty case that popped up and this was something that she was not looking forward to.
"Can I open them?" Cam came up behind Bones pushing Seeley out of the way.
"Sure."
"Wait a minute!" Booth cut off the two women. "Your letting her open them but I'm not allowed to touch them?"
"That's because you have an opinion on everything. I do not need a running commentary Booth." Taking the stairs two at a time Bones started working on the body while Cam recovered any flesh that was still left.
Completely forgetting the case file in his hands Booth set it down on the table and set his hands on his hips.
"What do you mean running commentary?"
"You have a comment on everything I do Booth and I really do not need it right now." Losing Zach had been the most painful thing she has ever gone threw. Losing Ian was easy by comparison but it still reinforced the thought that people were always leaving her. She had been ticked off for weeks.
"I do not comment on everything you do."
"Ya you do sweetie." Angela patted Booth on the back as she walked towards Bones. "You got a letter."
Brennen smiled as she pealed off her gloves thankful for an excuse. She opened the thick letter right then and there as she drifted towards her office. She was still on the platform when she gasped loudly.
"Bones what is it?" Booth came up behind her and tried to read the letter.
She snatched it away from him as she bolted towards her office. Angela was right behind her.
"Talk sweetie I can only keep out Prince Charming for so long." Angela locked the door behind her as Booth tried to open it contemplating whether or not to just knock it down. He decided that looking threw the glace was fine. For now.
"It's a letter from Oxford." Bones mumbled.
"What they miss you already? Do the y want you to come and give another lecture?"
Bones shook her head her mouth half open.
"Well what then?"
"They want to offer me job."
"WHAT?" Angela could not be hearing that right. "They want you to get the dead guys job."
Bones shook her head again. "Head of anthropology at Oxford. Head of my own department." She mumbled the last little bit to herself as if it was almost an after thought.
Booth is not the most patient person; neither is he the most logical so after hearing something along the lines of 'Head of my own department' he decided that breaking down the door was a good move. Luckily he didn't have to Angela let him in.
"Bones what does the letter say?"
"Head of anthropology Booth." It was all he needed to hear. His voice became very small.
"Your leaving?"
Angela back out of the office trying to give them some space as well as ward off the rest of the squint squad that came up to see what was going on.
"Maybe."
"Maybe!?" His voice was growing louder as a look of complete shock went over his face.
"Well Booth, it's a great position! I'd be making twice as much as I do here and I would still fight crime and lock murders away just…" Not with you. She couldn't say it but he still understood.
"Why would you leave?"
"After everything that has happened, maybe it would be better to start fresh."
"How is that logical?" His voice was defiantly louder than he meant it to be. All the squints could hear him.
"Your always telling me to be less brain more gut."
"Less brain more heart." He corrected he could not believe that it had backfired on him.
"Well my heart tells me that ever since Zach…left I've been miserable." Months of emotions were coming up she could not believe that she was about to start crying. "Maybe this is a good idea."
Booth was lost for words.
"Besides what do I have to stay for, you don't need me the team is just as good without me, you'll find a replacement." He voice broke as he took a few steps towards her.
"Bones, don't run away. You don't run away."
"Why? Give me a logical reason why you need me to stay."
"Because…We do need you."
"Nonsense!" Now she was the one who was about to start yelling. "You don't need me! Civilizations change leaders many times and they all survive."
"Don't compare us to dead civilizations." He said it so low it was a miracle she heard him.
"Booth the team will find a replacement." Tears were brimming on the edges of her eyes. She wasn't sure she had enough fight left to stop them.
"Don't compare us…" He was about to say it again but he stopped when he saw her face. Had he said too much? It did not matter any more as long as she stayed.
"Give me one reason why you want me to stay." They were pressed up against each other now, neither daring to breath.
"Cause I need you." He had just dug himself into a hole that he was sure he was never going to get out of. He closed his eyes not wanting to see what was in hers. She couldn't feel the same way, she couldn't she was leaving after all-why wouldn't she say something.
He breathing cached as the tears started flowing. She pushed her way past him before he could whip his eyes open-whispering something in his ear as she left.
Angela, Cam, Jack, they all tried to stop her but she was not a black belt for nothing. She ran full speed all the way to her car. Tears streaming down her face the entire time.
Booth was a statue still standing in her office his eyes still closed as if it was all a bad dream.
"Why didn't you stop her?" Angela yelled at him about to slap him across the face.
"She said it wasn't logical…to need someone." Booths voice broke twice.
Cam had had enough of this. She marched right up to him and slapped him across the face before yelling at him louder than Angela had.
"LOGIC? SHE IS LEAVING BECAUSE SHE THREW LOGIC IN YOUR FACE? BOOTH! SNAP OUT OF IT LOGIC WORKS ABOUT 10 OF THE TIME BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT HEART!" Idiot! She glared at him as he slowly un-froze.
"What do I do?"
"RUN AFTER HER YOU IDIOT!" they all shouted it at the same time. And for once booth did exactly what the squints said.
Do what the squints say and review!
