A/N: soooooo I think this will be the chapter when they finally get together. Not sure we will see where it goes.

On Monday morning Brennan woke up with a light heart. She knew that today would change things for her and Booth permanently.

When she arrived at the lab she asked Cam if she had heard from Booth. "No, Dr. Brennan I haven't." she responded.

Brennan decided to keep her mind busy while she waited for Booth by looking at the remains that corresponded to the case file she had looked at Friday night. This worked for awhile, but eventually she grew restless and called Booth again. She got his message machine again. Not being able to handle it anymore she headed over the Hoover building to see if he was there.

The Hoover

When Brennan arrived at the Hoover she went straight to Booth's office only find Charlie sitting at Booth's desk.

"Hello Dr. Brennan, how are you today" Charlie asked warmly.

"I'm fine thank you. Have you seen Booth?" she asked

"No as a matter of fact. That's why I'm here going through his desk. He was supposed to be doing some work on a RICO case for us and then report this morning, but he hasn't come in and he hasn't been at his apartment since Friday night. I was supposed to see if I could find any clues to as to his whereabouts."

At this Brennan froze in fear taking in the meaning of Charlie's words. A million thoughts ran through her head. She finally managed to regain control and speak. "You… you think he's been kidnapped?" Brennan asked not wanting to hear the answer.

"It's a possibility. We found his car in the parking garage of his building and his cell phone was on the ground beside it. I'm sorry Dr. Brennan" Charlie truly felt for the anthropologist. He had known Booth for several years and had watched the partners together, quickly realizing much everyone else there was something more there than just partners.

"Don't be. Allow me and my team to help find him." With that Brennan was already on the phone calling Cam and telling her the news. She then told Charlie to send all the evidence to the Jeffersonian and headed there herself.

The Jeffersonian

As Brennan walked into the lab Angela greeted her at the platform hugging her and telling her it would be ok. "Thank you Angela, but this about Booth. We need to… we need find him!" Brennan protested as she struggled to keep her voice from cracking.

Eventually the evidence arrived and the team went off to do their various jobs with Hodgins analyzing particulates, Angela trying to see what she could get off a piece of paper found in Booth's car, Cam doing a DNA test on blood found on the ground next to Booth's car, and Brennan pacing back and forth on the platform.

After hours and hours of working Charlie called with a lead. HE had found a note on Booth's desk that said George for RICO- Sat. Angela was also successful in recreating the piece of paper from his car. There was an address and the name George scribbled next to it in Booth's hand writing.

850 Maple St. Bethesda, MD 20901-George

"That's it," said Brennan, "The two George's must be same!" Brennan then called Charlie and told him she on her way to address.

850 Maple St.

"Ok Agent Booth, care to talk yet!" George spat at the agent. Booth responded by clenching his jaw tighter. He had been bounded and tortured for nearly 48 hours, but nothing could compare the hurt he felt when looked at his Bones' face after he yelled her.

Booth was jerked from his thoughts by a punch to the gut. "Tell me what the FBI knows about my operation!" George demanded. Booth again declined to respond.

"Ok then I guess you want to continue doing this the hard way!" George shouted now red with anger. He then produced a dagger and a bag of salt. George pulled his left arm back preparing to stab Booth in the shoulder. Booth braced himself for pain. A first he felt nothing, then as George removed the dagger a poured salt on the stab wound his eyes grew wide in pain. George moved to his chest and repeated his actions. Suddenly a gunshot rang out and George fell the ground. Charlie came into view followed by Brennan.

"Booth!" Brennan shouted as she ran to him. She untied his wrists and ankles gently easing him from the chair he was in onto the floor. "You're gonna be ok, you're gonna be fine!" she found herself shouting the same words she had almost two years ago as she put pressure on his shoulder wound.

"Bones" Booth tried to say.

"shhhh" Brennan said as she placed a clean finger to his lips.

She sat there with him until the paramedics arrived and took him the hospital.

Hospital

Booth lay in the hospital bed connected to and IV and a morphine drip with pudding in front of him. Brennan sat beside him in the chair. They were talking and laughing quietly when Booth turned the conversation to a more serious note.

"Bones listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said the other night I was just…"

"So you don't love me." Brennan interrupted

"No Bones that I did mean. I'm talking about what I said at your apartment.

"It's ok if you don't feel same way right now. I just want to know if could ever feel that way about me. You don't have to answer now, think about it if you want." Booth spoke looking right into her eyes.

"Booth," Brennan began

"I said you could think about it Bones" Booth stated getting irritated.

"Just listen" Brennan too was getting frustrated "I do feel the same way." She said quietly leaning closer to him.

"Really" Booth smiled.

"I thought about it rationally. I know you will never leave or hurt me, I know you would do anything for me and I know I would do anything for you. This led me to conclude that I indeed love you." Brennan's hand had moved to cover his. She began to speak again, but was silenced by Booth's lips. He kissed her lightly as if testing her reaction and then pulled away. Brennan looked at him and then moved in for a second kissed. This time it was a more passionate kiss. When their lips touched it was as if electricity passed through their bodies and the whole world melted away including the four other team members standing in the doorway with happy smiles on their faces. Before the couple was aware of their presence the four team members walked back down the hallway leaving the FBI agent and the forensic Anthropologist to kiss.

A/N: I hope you like they way it played out. You can let know by reviews (hint hint) I think the other chapters will be one shots of their life as it goes on from here. Suggestions are welcome
