Chapter Two

Booth only allowed himself 60 seconds to panic, and then launched into FBI mode. Hodgins came running toward them, knowing exactly what was going on because he was the one who ran the blood test.

"Angela. I'm going to go pull all of the security tapes from between 10:30PM-8:00AM. I need you to drive to Bones' apartment and see if she's there. Take Hodgins with you I don't want you going alone – be extremely cautious."

"Booth, do you think someone did this to Brennan?" Angela asked worriedly. "She could have just had an accident with…" Her voice trailed off and Hodgins gently grabbed her hand.

"This wasn't an accident, but we won't know for sure until I get those tapes." Booth responded, signaling to Hodgins to get going to Brennan's. They turned to leave as Booth added one more thing, an idea that just entered his mind, "Guys. Whatever you do, do not inform Cam of this. Tell her nothing. If anyone asks, Tempe is taking a sick day and you two just went to drop off some paperwork or evidence or something."
"Why not Cam? Is it because - " Hodgins asked.

"I don't have time to explain, and I'm not even sure why, but just trust me on this. I want Bones back, and this is how we're going to do it."
The two nodded understandably and headed out of the Jeffersonian.

Once they were gone, Booth went back to Bones' office and shut her door for privacy. He immediately headed toward the phone and first called the company who monitors the video surveillance system at the parking garage of his apartment complex, wanting to see if anyone approached Bones before she even got to the Jeffersonian. Booth had worked with this company before, when he investigated a serial murderer who attacked a woman in a parking garage similar to this one just down the street.

"I'm FBI. My name is special agent Seeley Booth and I need you to send me all of the files between 10:15-10:40 last night from the camera closest to the door, on level 1."

"Please give me one moment please sir… Yes here's the file. Where would you like it sent?"
"Send it to the Jeffersonian Institute, c/o Dr. Temperance Brennan's computer."

"Alright sir, it has been sent digitally and you can expect it within the next moment or two on that computer."
"Thanks for your help" Booth said quickly as he hung up the phone, left Bones' office and ran up the stairs toward the Surveillance Centre to grab the footage from last night.

Booth returned to Bones' office with a memory USB stick full of the footage from the Jeffersonian last night. Oddly, he had to hassle the security guard a bit to get it, but a flip of Booth's badge was all it took to force the guard to submit.

Booth sat back down at the computer when his cell phone rang.
"Booth, it's Angela. We just searched Tempe's apartment and there's no sign of her anywhere. Her bed is made and doesn't look slept in, everything's in it's right place, nothing seems to be missing…" Angela's voice trailed off.

Booth cursed silently to himself. It wasn't a huge shock she wasn't there since the server logs suggest that she never even left the building. "Ok. Can you and Hodgins get back to the lab? I'm just about ready to go over the footage last night, and I might need you to ID any assailant who shows up on the tape. We'll need Hodgins to cover for us with Cam."
"Alright Booth we're just leaving now. I have to ask you something. What's the deal with avoiding Cam? Is there something we should know?" Angela asked.
"Look, I'm not even sure yet, but Bones mentioned something to me about Cam being involved with stealing evidence and artifacts from the lab. It might be nothing, but Bones said she was working on collecting evidence… I don't know…" Booth trailed off, growing weary even thinking about his discussion with Bones the night before. How could he even live with himself if something happened to her?
"Booth! Do you think Bones got mixed up in all of this?" Angela asked, her voice raising with the impending severity of her best friend's disappearance.

"I don't know yet, but I'm in the process of finding that out. Just get back here as soon as you can okay?" Booth said as he hung up.

Booth reclined in Tempe's chair for a moment with a heavy sigh, and then opened the message from the Parking Lot Surveillance company and watched the recording on fast forward, until he saw Bones' car pull up at 10:00PM to his apartment complex. She got out of the car, locked it, and quickly approached the staircase. Booth wished he could go back to that moment. Wished that their conversation could have gone differently. Once Bones disappeared from view, he hit the fast forward button again and resumed normal speed when he saw her come back into the field of view. She was crying and walked slowly towards her car. Rather than getting inside she just stood there, leaning against the side door with her hand to her mouth. Booth felt sick and had to pause the footage, and just sat there and stared at the image in front of him. His throat constricted and his mouth went dry. He put a finger to the computer screen, wanting to feel close to her again. Hoping that he would get the chance to --

"Seeley, I didn't know you were in today. Have you seen Dr. Brennan?" Booth snapped out of his thoughts and glanced up to Bones' door where Cam was standing there expectantly.
