Okay so I don't own Bones... Also something I forgot to mention this story takes place around season five.

And for any followers of the story I'm going through the entire story so far and changing it. For any non followers join your fellow bone heads and drop me a line(review) or follow me. Whatever just enjoy =]

Booth looked over to Brennan who hadn't said anything since they left the lab. She didn't even notice that he kept glancing over at her. He was getting increasingly worried when he noticed her eyes were glazed over just staring ahead of her, and clutching what looked like a piece of paper in her hand. He noticed her hands were shaking, and her face had lost all it's normal color making her appear ghostly and sick.

Without even realizing it, as he had studied her he had slowly drifted into the other lane. He was only only aware of what he did when he saw more than heard Bones yell. "Booth watch the road!" He whipped his head around and barely reacted in enough time to save them from what would have been a devastating crash. As the car drove by them whoever was in the passenger seat made a rude gesture, and they continued driving.

"Sorry" Booth mumbled.

"Maybe I should drive." Bones said, and against his better judgement he snuck a glance at her. This time she noticed the glance and raised an eyebrow in response a small smirk on her lips. He quickly turned his gaze to the road again.

"No I'm fine driving. Besides we're almost there. Bones are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fit as a violin. I don't see why I wouldn't be. You didn't hit the car. Why do you ask?" He glanced at her again and her hands were empty and he face betrayed nothing.

"It's fit as a fiddle Bones."

"That doesn't make sense fiddle is an improper term rarely used unless you're..."

"It's just an expression, and I'm just making sure you're okay because you just seem off." Booth said cutting her off.

"I don't understand how one can be off."

He sighed slightly frustrated. "Bones I'm just worried about you."

"Booth there's nothing for you to be worried about, but you should by paying less attention to me and more to the road." He chuckled and returned his gaze to the road because he knew that he had indeed been caught in his starring.

They had reached her apartment by the finish of this conversation, and Brennan didn't hesitate to get out of Booths vehicle. She walked around the front of his vehicle and he rolled down his window. "Bones!" She slowly turned around and walked over to him.

"Yes Booth?" she said with a worried look on her face.

Booth was taken aback by the look of both fear and vulnerability on her face. She quickly hid it behind a look of annoyance at his lack of speech after he called her over.

"Just be safe okay? And call me if you need anything." she forced a smile and nodded. He watched her walk into her apartment building, and he didn't even consider leaving until he saw the light of her apartment turn on. He slowly pulled away hoping that what he saw was just his emotions clouding his judgement.

Brennan slowly walked into her apartment letting the days events wash over her. She reached for the light switch and fumbled with her bag. When the lights turned on she sighed and walked to her bedroom shedding clothes and the weight of the day as she went. Not bothering to shower or eat she fell onto her bed in only her black sports bra and matching boy shorts. She slowly started to drift off when a strong hand clamped over her mouth. She tried biting the hand over her mouth but only got a mouthful of cloth, and bitter taste invaded her mouth. Bringing her knees up she was able to jabb them into her assailants gut. Her attacker fell back and Brennan was able to roll to the other side of the bed. Her feet hit the cold hardwood floor and she turned on her assailant ready to fight, but was left grasping for something to hold onto. Whatever was on the cloth was acting fast, and she knew she didn't have long. Ignoring the room spinning and her field of vision blurring she made a grab for her bag which held her cell phone. She stumbled to the doorway desperately trying to stay on her feet. Before she could remove herself from the doorframe her attacker tackled her obviously trying to pin her until she fell unconscious. They both fell to the ground with an audible "thump." One of the few pictures hanging on the wall fell, the corner catching Brennan on the forehead further increasing her struggle. She kicked out and connected with something solid. She heard a satisfactory grunt from her assailant and crawled toward her bag and began digging through it for her phone. When she finally reached it she knew she wouldn't have long to talk to him as her vision darkened and she felt the trickle of blood down her face. He picked up the first ring. "Bones, are you okay? What's going on?"

While she dialed Booth her assailant had gained their footing and was walking towards her.

"Booth... Help..." Her voice sounded far away in her own ears as her vision faded to black, and the phone fell from her hand. The last thing she saw was the shoes of her assailant as she lost all consciousness.

"Bones!"

Booth screamed into the phone after he heard her quiet plea for his help. He quickly turned around back in the direction of Bones apartment still listening and hoping to hear Bones again. Instead of Bones's voice he heard a thud and then a voice that was high and breathless.

"Hi Agent Booth. It's been awhile, too long in fact. I've missed you."

"Who is this? Where is Bones?" Booth said trying to keep his voice from shaking.

"I'm hurt that you don't remember me Seeley." Her voice sounded so familiar yet he couldn't put a face to it.

"Where is Bones?" He demanded.

"I would really prefer if you stopped bringing her up. It would be a shame if something happened to her pretty face. Don't you think Seeley?"

"Don't you dare! Listen to me if you hurt her I swear..." There was no hiding his anger now, but she cut him off before he could finish his threat.

"Oh I'm sorry Seeley, but I'm going to have to let you go now. I hope we see each other soon. I'll be in touch! Oh and I almost forgot! Silly me, I was supposed to tell you that if you ever hope to see your precious little Bones again that you shouldn't involve any law enforcement. Goodbye Seeley."

A cold dread settled in the pit of his stomach as he realized that he had been thinking and hoping that Bones was going to be okay. Now that he had heard another voice over Bones phone he knew that this is real.

When Booth finally got to Bones apartment building he sprinted to her floor. When he was outside the door he was not surprised to find it wide open, and when he enter her apartment his eyes were drawn to something dark and wet on the floor. He knelt down and his fears were confirmed. It was blood.

"Snap out of it Seeley! You don't know for sure if it's Bones." he said to himself. But that didn't change the fact that she wasn't there. Bones wasn't in her apartment, and there was blood on the floor. The weight of the facts and his own assumptions pushed down on him until he was forced to fall to his knees. He failed Bones.
