It had been two days since Booth proposed to Hannah and Brennan had not been able to shut her eyes for more than 10 seconds. The images would jerk her away leaving her heart racing and leaving her with no hope of getting that much needed sleep. Brennan and Booth were at the latest suspect's house. Booth said his gut told him this man killed his brother, so there they were to question him. They heard a door slam and Brennan heard Booth yell, "Bones, he is going out the back. You go that way." Brennan turned to him and saw him pointing to the right side of the house as he ran around the left. She took off running.
She came around to the back of the house running only slightly behind Booth with their suspect running only a couple of feet ahead. The man was overweight and was struggling to stay ahead of Booth and her. Everything seems to happen in slow motion as their suspect turned around with a gun. Brennan faintly heard the sound of two gunshots, before she felt the pain in her chest. She gasps for breath as her back hits the ground. She blinks and then all she can see is Booth's face. She tries to clear her mind when she sees his lips moving knowing he is trying to talk to her. She faintly hears, "Bones you have to stay awake. The paramedics are on their way. Bones! Bones! Don't fall asleep." Brennan starts to struggle against the darkness clouding her vision, but then she remembers the last couple of months. She remembers how much she wants to sleep and she lets her eyes close.
