Power Rangers, too babish. Pokemon, grew out of that three years ago. Without a Trace, boring. Fox news, also boring. However, before Sarah could change the channel again, the story the reporter was talking about made her stare in complete shock.
"Early this morning, a man by the name Jack Hodgins was found beaten and unconscious. He is currently in critical condition at D.C. General Hospital. Full report will be after the break."
"Dr. Goodman!" Sarah's voice rose in a shriek, and he came running. "Let me know the second this commercial break is over. I have to call the rest of the team."
"Wait, what's going on?"
Sarah ignored him and rushed to the phone. The first number she called was Angela's number but when there was no answer, panic began to arise. She hurried to call the rest of them. Five minutes later, everyone was in front of their TVs, watching the Fox news. "A small group of teenagers had come across a beaten man's body in a clearing while wandering around in the nearby woods. The man was identified as Jack Hodgins. A woman's belongings were also found close to the man's body and were identified as belonging to Angela Montenegro. However, the woman hasn't been found yet and is a possible kidnapping victim. If anyone has any other information, call your local police department immediately.
"Jack Hodgins is currently in critical condition at D.C. General Hospital. We will have hourly updates on the situation."
After an hour convincing the doctors to let them see Hodgins, they were all standing around his bed waiting for him to wake up. Booth, Cam and Goodman were making a few speculations about the case and Angela.
"Maybe our murderer has Angela," Cam suggested.
"Highly unlikely," Booth replied. "He or she seems to be going for young pregnant women."
"The murderer could have gone after her because she was on the case with us," Goodman said.
Booth shook his head, "But why leave Hodgins?"
"What if our murderer is also a rapist?"
"No, this has to be two separate cases. Angela wasn't pregnant; it would totally be against his M.O.," Booth tried to convince them.
However, Brennan definitely wasn't in the mood to listen to them, "STOP! We shouldn't be jumping to conclusions. It's not going to help find Angela!"
"Booth, you're wrong," Sarah spoke quietly. Everyone in the room looked at her. She bit her lip before going on. "She was pregnant. It's entirely possible that our murderer has her."
There was a series of "Oh my god", "No way!" and "Are you sure?" before a doctor came in and told them to keep it down.
"It's true," she said.
"Who else knew?" Brennan asked.
"Just me and Hodgins, as far as I know." Sarah sighed, "I promised to keep it a secret unless it was an emergency. I never thought that the emergency would come this early…"
"Hey, what about her friend Vivian and her boyfriend?" Booth asked. "Angela was talking to them in the diner before we arrived. Maybe she told them something."
Brennan stood up and said, "Alright. Let's go find them then."
It was dark, cold, and quiet when Angela awoke. At first she still thought she was in the woods with Hodgins, but however, a quick look at her surroundings suggested otherwise. She was in a basement. A few bikes here and there, a washing machine and a dryer up against the wall, boxes were scattered, and she was lying on a not so comfortable mattress. It became apparent fairly quickly that she was not the only person on that mattress.
"Angela, is that you?" the person on the mattress asked quietly. Angela almost laughed as she realized who it was.
"Oh my god. Charlene?" Angela almost hugged her old friend when she saw how large her friend was. "You're still pregnant!"
She placed a hand on her belly and gave her a soft smile, "It's practically a miracle we are still here, alive."
"How bad is it here?" Angela asked her.
"As long as we are quiet we'll be left unharmed," she replied quietly. "He'll give us food, water, books, just about anything." She sighed at that point. "If only Kaitlyn and Hope listened to me, they might still be here too."
Angela bit her lip, then comforted her friend, "We are going to make it out of here alive, no matter what. We will be ok."
She knew that there was little her friends could have done to help her out in the woods, but she knew for a definite fact that they would be doing absolutely everything in their powers to help her and Charlene out of this place.
