Booth knocked on the door a couple of times and waited for a reply. After a few minutes Booth banged on the door again even louder this time.
"Bones! You in there? Bones! It's Booth let me in."
He waited a minute then using his key opened the door cautiously and withdrew his weapon. He called for her again but still nothing. He checked the living room/kitchen no sign of her. He slowly made his way to her bedroom door and put his ear to the wood. He heard a faint whimper from inside. He opened the door and had his gun at the ready. He didn't see anything except a bundle of blankets on the bed. As he drew nearer the bundle moved slightly.
"Bones? Is that you?" Bones revealed herself from under the covers. Booth sighed in relief and put away his gun.
"Booth? What… what are you doing… how did you get in my house?" Brennan said groggily.
"We were all worried about you so Angela let me borrow her spare." Booth sat on the edge of her bed.
"Worried? About what?" She stared at him confused.
"Did something happen?"
With a concerned look on his face Booth answered "No. It's just that you didn't show up to work today and that's not like you."
"Booth I only just got home an hour ago. I mean I know I work a lot but do guys really expect be to be there 24/7."
"Bones I dropped you off at 10:30. And it's almost noon now." Booth was frightened by the fact that Bones didn't even know what time it was.
"What that can't be right." Bones turned over on her side and snatched up her alarm clock. The clock read 11:55 am.
Bones through off the covers pushing Booth off with them. She got up and headed for the bathroom mumbling something under her breath. She started breathing heavily and leaned against the door frame.
"Bones are you alright?"
"Yah just a little dizzy."
"We should get you to a hospital you look like you could fall over." Booth said as he grabbed he shoulders to steady her.
"Booth I'm fine. Besides I'm already late for work and there are a million things I have to get done today." She shrug's him off and goes to get ready again. She makes it inside of the bathroom and leans against the counter, still breathing heavily.
"No way. Bones you are not going anywhere today." He puts his hands on her shoulders and guides her out of the bathroom. "You are going to lie down on the bed and stay there."
"Booth I'm not a child. I know my limitations." Just after she said those words she fell to the ground. Booth didn't expect this and was too late to catch her.
She wasn't unconscious but she couldn't make eye contact. Booth forced her eyes to look at him. "Bones are you alright?"
Eyes now focused "How many times must you ask me that?" Booth slowly helped her to her feet and lifted her into his arms. Bones tried to fight but was to weak. He lowered her into her bed and covered her up.
