Back in Washington D.C. at the Jeffersonian Institution, Dr. Temperance Brennan had fallen asleep on her desk. Dr. Cam Soroyan barged through the glass doors.
"Dr. Brennan, we have a-" she tiled her head. "Dr. Brennan!"
"Yes?" Bones quickly raised her head. "I was just, um…" she searched her brain for the right thing to say. "I was…"
"It's okay, I understand. You just came back from Vegas; a lot of drinking," Cam winked. "By the way, what happened between you and Booth?" Brennan sat still for a moment and said nothing. She and Booth decided that they didn't want anyone to know they were married. "Why, why would you suspect that something occurred between me and Booth?" Before anyone could say anything more, Brennan's office phone rang. "Brennan," she answered. Nervously she glanced at Cam not knowing what to do. She didn't want to tell her it was her husband. "Hey Angela," but to make things worse, Angela actually did walk in.
"Bren? How'd you know it was me?" Oh, shit. Bones thought. Drop the phone to cause distraction. No, say you have a case. But then they'll know I won't when I come back to the lab. Say anything. ANYTHING!
"Bones? You there? Hello?" Booth shouted over the line. Luckily the phone wasn't on speaker. Brennan swallowed and stood up, still grasping the phone.
"Stop calling me!" she screamed and slammed the phone into the receiver. "Sorry. That was my… um…" An awkward silence poured over the room.
"Are you okay, Sweetie?" Angela asked her best friend. "You seem tense."
"I'm fine. I just, have to, go to the platform. And identify some remains."
"But there's nothing on the table," Dr. Soroyan pointed out. Annoyed, Brennan rolled her eyes and shooed everyone out of her office. After a few minutes of alone time, Bones' cell phone rang. She looked around before answering it. "Hey, Booth. Sorry about before. Cam and Angela were in my office."
"Oh. You didn't tell them anything, did you?" Booth questioned.
"No."
"Walk out of your office when no one is watching."
"Why? Where are you?"
"Just do it!" Booth shoved his phone in his pocket, wherever he was at the moment. Rolling her eyes, Brennan stood up and walked out of her office like she was told. She stood for a while, and then decided to turn around and go back into her office. Before she had the chance to turn, someone grabbed her and pulled her into a supply closet. Like an instinct, she kicked whoever abducted her and punched him in the jaw, knocking him out. She pulled out her phone and started to call Booth, but then she heard his phone ringing next to her. Shit, I just knocked Booth out! She thought. I have to make sure he's okay. "Booth?" She shook him. Nothing. "Booth!" Without realizing anything, tears grew in her eyes. She wiped them away and waited for him to wake up.
