Hi! I hope you like this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bones.

At the Jeffersonian, all the team was uncomfortable with the two kids. It was long ago when normal workers went home and Cam just had finished checking them. They didn´t contain evidence of the gas station explosion, although they seem to have days without a bath and to had been in a fire. The x-rays didn´t show any fractures, but CT scans of their brains showed minor brain concussions, confirming they had fallen and hit their head. They girl at least was trying to communicate, although she couldn´t remember anything before awaking in that place. The boy was lost in his mind. She was concerned he had more damage in his brain than appeared; they needed to be at a hospital.

They were following Cam to the forensic platform.

"Wow" exclaim Hodgins when he saw the kids "I thought visitors shouldn´t be up here".

"They are harmless."

"Yeah right" he murmured going away.

"Booth you should take them to a hospital, I've already check them, but I think they still need medical help" she said as the mentioned stop talking to Bones.

"No!" shouted the girl. She tried to go away, but Booth grabbed her. Meanwhile the boy was staring at a crystal container near him. He pushed it to the floor. Immediately the alarms of biological contamination started to sound and the team was now trapped. As the alarm started to sound the girl escaped from Booth's grip in a frantic panic attack. He chased her before she could get more damage and held her while she was kicking and screaming.

The sound of sirens woke her up as a familiar hand was trying to wake her up. "Hurry up" said the voice "we need to go now". She was still sleepy… more sirens, but this time the soothing voice wasn´t there to calm her down, and a vague feeling of lost was beginning to seize her. She knew everything she loved and knew was destroyed and lost forever… more sirens, fire, more lost, more pain…

Suddenly pair of protective arms was around her. She calmed down slowly, sobbing, while Booth was saying to her soothing words like a child with nightmares. She stood still in the arms of the hugging the man crying. All that happened in so little time it was difficult to assimilate what was happening. Everyone was confused.

"They are harmless" emphasized with sarcasm Hodgins trying to recover the contaminant

"What was that?" asked Brennan quickly

"Desert soil; likely contaminated by our favorite fungus". Angela and Brennan sighs remembering the last time they were trapped with Cryptococcus in the lab.

"I don´t understand" said Sweets between Booth with the panicked child and the team trying to clean the mess.

"Years ago we had a contamination by Cryptococcus in Christmas Eve and we were trapped here for a day or more" answered Angela

"Are you sure that soil is contaminated?" asked Cam to Hodgins

"No, but it will take a while before I prove it, and maybe all have to stay here tonight."

While the rest of the trapped team went back to their works, Booth and Sweets were with the girl, the boy was taken to be decontaminated in a special shower.

"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Booth. She didn´t respond. Blurry images were rushing in her head confusing her, but his voice make her remember a clear fact.

"My name is Tess" she said almost a minute later.

"Tess, can you tell me what you saw when the sirens started to sound?" this time was Sweets who talked. She looked at him and then Booth.

"Can I have a bath?" she asked him. He notice she was still on the dirty clothes, her face only clean were the tears had run.

"Sure"- Booth took her hand "give her a break Sweets" and took her to the women restrooms.

Thirty minutes later while trying to get people bringing them food to the place Booth wished to make her disappear. She has been tailing him since she finished her bath. Now she was wearing a t-shirt of his too large for her, looking vacantly to some place beyond.

"Tess, why are you following me?" she came from whatever place in her mind she was and the expression in her face almost makes him fell backwards. For the first time, he looked at her well. She had dark brown hair and blue eyes, but her expression of being totally confused were so familiar to him.

"Well… I, I feel protected with you" she said looking to his eyes and he knew she was sincere. New questions were now in his head. Why Tess remind him her that much?

After devouring the pizzas they had for dinner, the group separated. The women were together in a room with their sleeping bags. Men were in another, but Tess insisted she will not sleep if she wasn´t near Booth, so they let her go with a bag into the men's "camp". The boy fell asleep as soon he put his head on the bag. Cam kept him with them just in case. She was still anxious about his behavior.

The sky was blue with no clouds. Perfect. They were now in an empty grocery store. They could not see anyone but them. "Choose only thing we can eat without cooking" say a girl beside him. The twin girls were giggling while picking some food, a boy with a teddy bear was grabbing all the chips bags he could get. Tess was near them with her bother. All of them were okay and now was time to go home… expectations aroused in his chest. His sisters and brother could not suspect he was afraid of the worst. And then they started to sound. The sirens make all of them to stop still, and a really big bang made then start running while the collapsing structure was falling down. Next thing he knew was looking to the ruins in flame of the grocery store, holding tightly her sister from preventing her to go back there. Tears on both faces, a broken teddy bear in her arms…

He woke up sweating. All was dark and he was feeling nauseated. He stood up and walked away feeling empty. Tears were running down in his cheeks.

"Are you feeling okay sweetie?" Angela asked. In the dim light she saw the pain in him. She stood up as quick as she could and hug him. He hugged her back crying desperately. "It´s okay honey, it was just a nightmare" he was now shaking violently. She hugged him as tight as she could.
