Wow, once again I am shocked by how many of how are enjoying this story enough to put an alert on it.
Just to let you all know that in chapter 1 Brennan was supposed to say 'Okay thank you for letting me know I will see on Sunday afternoon' not Saturday otherwise the timeline doesn't work.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones, trying not to cry. Lol
Well enjoy the chapter and please continue to review.

Chapter 3
Saturday 5:03pm
"Hey Angela. Hey Hodgins." Both of them had answered the door to the huge mansion that they shared together. "Booth come on in, everybody's here you're the last one to arrive." Booth could tell that the look Angela was giving him was one that went along the lines of 'I know what went down between you and Brennan and I've not forgiven you yet!'
"That rain is torrential." Hodgins took Booth's jacket from him "Thanks man." Angela then led him into the ballroom, Booth took in the size of the room and decided within seconds that his entire place would fit into this one room. He then looked around at everybody and he saw Cam, Zack, Sweets, Angela's father and a bunch of other people that he didn't recognise. There was just one person that he couldn't see within the crowd, "Angela, where is Bones?"
"Oh you mean she didn't tell you?" Angela asked in a derisive tone that let slip to Booth that she knew exactly where Bones was.
"Tell me what? What's going on? I have been trying to call her since Thursday to apologise for yelling at her but she wont pick up and she's not answering her door either. I thought that I could talk to her here."
Booth seemed really desperate to talk to her so Angela relented and decided to tell him where Bones is going although she stopped short of telling him why, she decided that was Brennan's decision.
"Sweetie, she's going to Salt Lake City." Angela let that sink into Booth's brain.
"What? Why is she going there?"
" I'm afraid that's up to her to tell you."
"When is she leaving?" Angela looked at her watch and then replied, "Her cab is picking her up in 15 minutes. If you hurry you might be able to catch her. It's only 20 minutes to her place."
"Angela, thank you so much" Booth ran all the way to his car and didn't realise until he had started driving that he was soaked to the skin because he was so determined to get to his Bones that he had forgotten his jacket.

Brennan's Apartment 5:19pm
Meanwhile Bones had just finished sealing the envelope when her buzzer went. It was her ride to the airport. She placed the letter addressed to her Booth on the coffee table, she drew a breath as she realised that she had just referred to him as her own. She laughed for a moment when she thought of all the times that she used to argue with Booth about men referring women as being objects that they own and yet here she had gone and done it herself.
She then picked up her suitcase and left her apartment. By 5:21pm she was in the car and on her way to the airport.

5:27pm
Booth pulled up outside Bones' apartment and cursed that damned learner driver who insisted on stopping at every single light.
He ran up to her apartment and tried the door as he sincerely doubted that she would answer if he were to knock. "Dammit!" It was locked, he decided to use his spare key.
Once he had established that she had left for the airport already he was about to leave again when he noticed an envelope with his name on it. He picked it up and opened it with tentative fingers. He began to read;
Seeley,
My dearest Seeley I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for everything especially for the way that I interfered with your private life. I know that I had no right but I meant what I said, I cannot stand to watch Rebecca continuously break your heart when it comes to your own son.
As you will know by now I have left and I do not know if or when I will be back but please know this, I do care for you, maybe more than you can ever imagine but there is something very important that I have to take care of.
Hopefully this is just a temporary goodbye and you might find it in your heart to one day forgive me.
All the best,
Temperance

Booth finished reading the letter and immediately called speed dial 1. When Bones didn't pick up he left a message "Bones when you get this call me please." He then phoned Angela, she picked up after the first two rings;
"Booth! Did you manage to get to her in time?" He wanted to lie to her and tell her that he had just because of the hope she had managed to relay into the question but he needed her help. Again.
"No I never. He decided not to tell her about the letter. "Do you have her flight information?"
"Oh my god! Are you going after her? Are you going to use your special FBI skills and hold the plane?" She was going a thousand miles a minute and he really had to get to the airport so he hung up and immediately called her back.
"Booth why did you hang up"
"To get you to be silent for a minute."
"Oh sorry."
"It's ok I guess but can you please get me that information I'm kind of in a hurry?"
"Sure can I call you back? The information is in my bedside drawer"
"Thanks. I'll talk to you soon I'm going to get my passport."

Back at Hodgins' place
Angela shrieked with joy as soon as she had hung up. "Ange, you know I love you and all but please don't ever make that sound again." Everybody else around the table just laughed.
"I'm sorry honey but you will never guess what, Booth is going after Brennan!" Whilst Angela was fetching Brennan's travel information the squints were discussing all the possible outcomes of this latest drama in their favourite non-couple couples' lives.
"Zach what do you think Brennan is going to do when she finally realises that Booth loves her?"
"Dr. Brennan doesn't believe in love Cam."
"Aww dude she just thinks that love doesn't exist because she has never met anyone like Booth before. When she finally admits that she likes him she'll immediately realise that love does exist."
"Hodgins, I…, I don't think that I could have answered that any better than the way you just did" Cam was shocked at Hodgins' insight into the whole concept of love and Brennan's idealist views.
"Yeah, I think I've definitely been married to Angela for too long" Hodgins reply sent everybody into hysterics.

Okay so now you know that Hodgins and Angela are married you can probably guess what their news is. Hope that you enjoyed that chapter and I will hopefully have chapter 4 up in the next 24 hours. Chapter 4 should reveal some of Brennan's secrets. I don't want to be one of those writers who says they will update once they have a certain amount of review. So much love to you guys for taken the time to read my god awful story and even more to those who have taken the time to review.
