Disclaimer: I wish I did but I don't.

Rating: This section is probably a K, but again this will be turning into an M story

Thoughts: I'm not positive that I know where I'm going with this but, this is a transition chapter, before we get into the angst!

Her hand instantly dropped his and went to clutch at her thigh. She was now watching her father turn his back and walk away from her again. Only this time he didn't have a choice and to her it made the feeling of emptiness worse. The bailiffs roughly escorted him out of the door as Brennan sat in a numb silence, as he turned his head to look back at her and winked, a tear silently streaked down her cheek. She quickly swept it away and stood up as straight as she could. Moving quickly past Booth, almost falling in to his lap as he sat shocked with his mouth agape and towards the door, to the back of the court room. She could feel Booth standing to go after her, but she couldn't look at him right now, she knew that if she did look into his eyes she would break. She couldn't do that right now she just needed out, out of the room and out of the building. As soon as the oak door closed behind her she broke into a run. Booth calling after her.

It had been two weeks since the trial and he hadn't heard a word from her. He'd called and dropped by work, only to find out the she had taken an indefinite amount of time off. He'd been to her house; he'd heard her moving towards the door to open it, only to back of a few seconds later pretending she wasn't home. He didn't know what else to do but wait. But he wasn't a patient man and waiting didn't work well for him, so he did the next best thing: he called Angela.

"Angela," she said after the first ring.

"Hay Ange its Booth"

"I know I have this psychic power called caller ID," she replied while giggling.

He snorted quietly but quickly back to business. "Look have you talked to Bones, she won't talk to me and I need to know that she's okay otherwise I'm just going to go to her house and break down the front door,".

"As mush as I would love to see you use those srong muscles to 'save' Brennan, I've talked to her and she insists that she's fine, but I don't think she possibly could be. She shut everyone out Booth but I kind of expected it, I mean she is Brennan. I think that what she needs right now is to be alone to deal with everything. No emotions shown, just work."

"But she's not working"

"Sure she is… she's just doing out in Virginia, you know that project at the old soldier cemetery. I thought that you knew about this…?"

"No I didn't Zach told me….. Damn it ZACH! The little bugger lied! Look I need to know where she is okay? Ange I'm just going to make sure that she is okay then I'll back off… I won't even talk to her I'll just check on her really quick then drive away.."

"Zach was only doing as she asked you know that and Booth, I really don't think that she wants to see anybody but bones right now…"

"Please Angela, I just want to drive by."

"Fine she's at the old world war two cemetery in Little Park Virginia, but Booth, no talking, Just look and get out, that's it!"

"Fine thank you Ange I own you one." He quickly shut off the phone and put the car into dive, speeding off to Virginia.

While Angela still on the other line muttered "yes you do Booth yes you do.."

I know that this was another shortish chapter but, I'm just warming up. Please read and review with anything you think I should add! By the way I'm thinking that in the next chapter we should get a BB confrontation.
