Drive.
Booth sat on the step with his head in his hands. The woman he loved more than he thought possible had just driven out of his life with their baby. He felt sick. Temperance Brennan did not run away. He closed his eyes wondering if this was how it felt when the human heart actually broke. Swallowing hard he felt someone else sit next to him.
"This was your idea." He stated. Max nodded.
"Yes."
"You hate me that much?"
"Booth, I don't hate you at all. Even when you arrested me a couple of years ago. I never did."
"My family have gone."
"Not for good." Max rested a hand on the younger man's shoulder. "You said it yourself. Caroline warned you there would be an arrest warrent issued for her arrest. She has enough money with her for her and Christine to be safe."
"I should be with them."
"And you will be, Booth. You will be. We just have to prove she hasn't killed anyone."
"How?"
"You are the system, she is outside the system. That's the way it has to be for now. We have three days until she leaves mainland America. For good, unless we prove she is innocent."

"She's gone." Angela held baby Michael in her arms as Jack and Daisy stared at her.
"But she didn't do this."
"No." Angela snapped. "Of course she didn't kill anyone."
"He did threaten Christine." Daisy started. Sweets shot her a look as Cam closed her eyes.
"He did." Sweets started "Dr Brennan didn't kill anyone."
"Then why run?" Daisy asked innocently. Angela got to her feet, still with a sleeping Michael in her arms.
"Because all her friends were turning against her! All the evidence fits someone like Bren. But it wasn't her that did this. Angela ignored her husband as he got to his feet. She glared at Cam. "Some people didn't even want to look for an alternative."
"I had to."
"Do your job, I know and damn the consequences. Isn't that right, Cam?"
"Angie." Jack started.
"No Hodgins." Cam sighed. "Angela has something to say, then let her say it." The rest of the Jeffersonian fell quiet as the two women faced each other."
"I quit." Angela stared at her. Cam shook her head. "Dr Saroyan. You will have my resignation in writing in the morning."
"What will you do?" Sweets asked, Jack looked on in shock.
"Find Bren, help Booth. Anything but work somewhere I no longer trust people." She left the room as the others watched her go.
