For the record, I don't own any of these characters. And I can assure you that my take on the resolution of this storyline varies a whole lot from the actual show. I started this long before "Hero In The Hold" so you won't find any spoilers for that in here. A huge thank you to blc for the idea to start this as well as her input along the way. And thanks to harleygirlz for help along the way as well. This part is just a teaser to see if anyone is interested in reading.

Brennan watched the red glow of the numbers on the clock in front of her face. It was slowly ticking down the seconds until her air supply ran out. The bastard had left her nothing this time except for the digital clock that was now serving as a painful reminder of all the things she was leaving unfinished.
As the clock passed below the five minute mark, she closed her eyes against the tears that welled up. An image of Booth instantly filled her mind and she swallowed the anguish that threatened to pull her under. She wouldn't give up hope. She believed in him more than she'd believed in anything in her life, including her science. He would find her. He had to, because she was quite certain that if he didn't, her death would bring about his own. She would hold on for him. She had promised him that the center would hold and she would hold for as long as it took.

If this was video, I'd play the opening credits or something here. As it is, I'll just ask nicely for you to drop me a line and I promise to post the next part shortly.
