Booth looked at his boy and said, "I don't know Bub, but I'm going to find out."
The next day Booth was in his office when he called the editor of the book and found out as much as he can. This LaManche girl could have sent in Bones photo, since the editor and her have never meet. Then the editor had given Booth the address where LaManche checks are being forward to.
And that is where we find him now. In Canada living alone; under the name Katie LaManche.
Now Booth was in this cheap hotel room. He was pacing back and forth. How was he going to confront the woman he loves? He needed a plan, Bones is smart she could run if she seen him coming up the drive way. Or worse she might set that dog of hers onto him.
What was is 'gut' telling him to do? His 'gut' was telling him to confront her head on. If she ran, chase. If she set the dog on him, let it happen. The dog was hers it would hurt her if something happen to it. He was here miles away from D.C. There was no way he was going back without her.
Booth got into his car and quickly head over to her house. He learned from the editor that Katie lived alone and that she didn't work, that she relied on some money she had and works on her books alone. So he knew that she would be alone.
As he pulled into the drive way his heart was beating probably a mile a minute. It was daylight now, and she was standing on her porch getting the mail. He watched her as she watch the car pull into her drive way. It was defiantly her. Those piercing blue eyes, that froze anybody who didn't know her, but warmed his when she just looked at him. She was wearing a Sweater that cut right above the hips, she was wearing black sweatpants. He knew that was her sleepwear, it was 9:00. Bones would be halfway done a days' work now. Not lounging around the house.
He slowly got out of the car watching her watching him nervously. Then when the door shut he watch as she focus on his face. Nothing changed, she didn't run, and she just stared. "May I help you?" She asked. His heart melts when he heard that voice.
"Yea, um, I Special Agent Seeley Booth, I'm with the FBI." He said, showing her, his badge. Katie looked at the badge the back to Booth.
"What does the FBI want in Canada? And what do you want with me?" Katie asked. She had to admit his features were quite good looking. Deep down it felt like she had known him for some time.
Booth was lost for words again he couldn't believe he was having a conversation with Bones again, after two years. "Yes, I was wondering if you know Dr. Temperance Brennan. She went missing two years ago, and hasn't been seen since."
"Well if she went missing, how can she be seen? Katie asked. That was Bones for yea. Just as literal as the day she left. "But no, I never heard her. Maybe, if I had a picture?" Booth took out the picture and handed it to her. Booth watch as a strange look came across her face. "Is this some kind of joke? I mean this picture is me, and my name is Katie LaManche." Then she paused for a minute. "Wait I could be Dr. Brennan. I mean last year I was in an accident, with no identification, besides a Library card with Katie LaManche. I don't know who I am."
Booth froze for a minute or two. "Your name is Brennan. Dr. Temperance Brennan. You work at the Jeffersonian Institution. A forensic anthropologist, that specializes in identifying, people when nobody knows who they are. Your father was a science teacher and your mother was a bookkeeper. Your brother is a mechanic. You are Dr. Temperance Brennan… and you are my partner in the FBI and in life…" Booth didn't know why he was saying, but he knew this was his chance maybe he could show her that they could be together if the pretended. He also knew that she was going to kick his ass when her memories came too.
"Bones, that's what I call you, I'm…well…you're… husband. And I have been looking for you for two years. They told me to give up, but I couldn't. Not until I found you, either alive or gone forever. I just couldn't do that to Angela either. She's your best friend." Booth paused in looked at the ground. Then he did what he wanted to do in the car. He went over to her and gave her a big hug, than the tears started flowing. "I found you, baby, sorry it slipped."
There are tears in Brennan's eyes as she said, "I'm sorry I don't remember you. Was I sick before I went missing?"
'Sick, his bones' was sick, he found her and she is telling him that she is sick. Sick with what oh god, please don't let it be cancer. He needs her.' These thoughts were running through his head. "Um, uh, no, Oh God, you're sick. What's the matter? Is it serious, Oh God, I can't lose you, I just found you." He said that all in almost one breath. And tears were in corner of the eyes ready to descend.
For some reason when Brennan seen that melt down she wanted to hold him. Hold onto him for life. "I have CHF Congestive Heart Failure, as long as I follow my doctors orders I should be fine. I also have Bella, she's trained to detect any irregular pattern in my heart. I'm sorry for you haven't to find out like this." 'Why do I have this feeling of warmth around me, like I known him for awhile. Maybe it's my memories slowly coming back.'
