~*Short chapter this time, bit of a bleh, little bit of blah. Hope you enjoy =D*~

A few days had come and gone and still they had nothing. Booth was no where to be found and Brennan was working up a storm on the platform. She downed the last of her tenth cup of coffee and turned back to the small bones on her table.

The lab was abuzz with the normal background noise. People walking about, tool's being used, scientific jargon. Temperance tried to ignore the dull throb imitating from somewhere behind her eye's when Booth mad an enraged appearance. He barely paused to swipe his card through the ID slot.

"You kept a piece of my son!" He exclaimed in outrage and the chatter stopped.

Temperance took a deep breath, "It was detrimental to the case. As in all murder investigation's, you should have known that."

Seeley's face was red with rage, "I thought maybe you'd have a little more respect, obviously I was wrong! I can't believe- your just as cold hearted as ever." He growled and Brennan's eye's widened. The tension could have been cut with a knife.

She turned to a tech, "Tell Cam I'm taking the rest of the day off." She whispered, glancing once more at Booth before practically running for the exit. She nearly ran over Hodgins and Angela as they returned from their lunch break.

"Sweetie?" Angela called but Temperance didn't look back.

Brennan walked briskly through the hall's of her apartment building, her apartment was on the third floor. The elevator was currently out-of-order and she was forced to take the stairs. Her footsteps echoed off the linoleum floor, a slight squeak from the sole sounded every few steps.

The soft echo mocked her as Booth's words bounced around in her skull. Tear's stung her eye's, his red face burned into her mind. He had never looked at her with such malice. Never.

Temperance sighed as she reached apartment 2B, her humble abode. Digging her key's from her purse she paused, the hair's on the back of her neck standing on end as she glanced around the dim hall. Shaking her head she unlocked the door.
