Booth jumped into action first by pushing Brennan towards the decontamination shower seeing as she was the only one who was close enough to the Bones. The rest of them scattered, Hodgins ran to Angela's office to tell her what happened, Gibbs made sure Jenny was far enough away, Tony called Ducky and Booth called Cam.

"Jack, what happened were you there?" Angela and the twins were sitting nervously in her office when Hodgins came in, Angela was smart enough not to go out into the lab. Hodgins came in and hugged Angela before joining the three of them on the floor.

"Okay so what happened was the bone crumbled and a powder came out. Now what that means is that we're going to be here for a little while until we find out what the powder is, every things fine though." The two adults exchanged nervous glances, they felt bad about the kids being stuck here as well, they remembered when they were locked in over Christmas, how much worse could Thanksgiving be?

Moments later men dressed in haz-mat suits came into the lab, Brennan had already been in the shower and was now dressed in sweats, the haz-mat suits directed the group into Brennan's office.

"Our team is identifying the powder but until then you will unfortunately be in lockdown, we will bring in clothes, sleeping bags and food soon, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Is the powder potentially dangerous?" Tony asked, Ziva noticed that he was nervous about the nemonic plague he had had. Tony felt Ziva place her hand on his arm and he immediately felt himself relax. Gibbs also noticed this interaction and knew it was just a matter of time, he looked over to see Jenny talking on her phone presumably with M-TAC informing them of the situation. He caught her eye and winked, Booth saw this and figured that NCIS must have different policies.

"The bones have been removed from the lab, again we apologize, we just can't risk anything especially with civilians," the haz-mat suit gestured to the twins who were sitting on Brennan's couch with Gibbs to their right and Angela and Hodgins to their left. The haz-mat team promised to be back soon with the supplies and left leaving a group of unhappy squints and agents in their wake. Brennan beckoned Booth to the area outside of her office, Booth glanced around and quickly followed her.

"Booth this isn't fair!" Brennan made sure to keep her voice low.

"I know but we can't keep potentially dangerous bones in the lab with so many people, it's unsafe," Brennan understood what he meant but realized they were talking about two different things.

"No Booth I mean to those kids, they have a family, there's a chance they're going to be away on Thanksgiving," Booth suddenly felt his heart swell,

"Bones, they don't have a family, they live in an orphanage." Bones was just about to respond when another group of people in haz-mat suits walked into the lab, this time carrying twelve sleeping bags, multiple boxes of pizza and other snacks.

"Agent Gibbs, what's going to happen?" Gibbs looked down at the kids who had tears forming in their eyes.

"We're going to crack this case, and get you home in time for Thanksgiving."

"But you don't have any bones to work with, we could all be sick, something could happen!" Tony turned to watch the scene in front of him unfold, he then nudged Ziva to watch as well. Gibbs took a knee so he was now at eye level with the shorter kids, he then reached out and the two of them gratefully excepted the hug. DiNozzo and David quickly exited Brennan's office closely followed by Abby, McGee, Hodgins and Angela. Jenny was the only one who remained with Gibbs and the kids.

"What was that?" Ziva asked Tony as they help unload the overnight gear. DiNozzo tried to get a better view of the office but couldn't.

"I don't know, Gibbs is good with kids, but never expected him to do that, and the Director, why is she here?" Ziva smiled Tony was probably the only one who hadn't noticed that the Director and Gibbs were involved.

"DiNozzo, David stop gossiping! Help McGee, Abby I need to talk to you!" Tony flinched as Gibbs head slapped him as he walked by. Hodgins and Angela grabbed two sleeping bags and brought them into her office.

"Well this sucks," Hodgins looked over to where Angela was unrolling a mat in the center of the room. He walked over and placed his mat next to hers.

"Could be worse," she laughed as he smirked.

"How so," Hodgins dropped his sleeping bag and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well for starters the last time we were locked in we weren't married, and I slept on a metal table, Brennan took away my eggnog and we didn't have all these new friends!" Angela giggled as Hodgins leaned in to kiss her.

"Is that all you two do now? Come on the pizza's getting cold." Angela laughed as Booth came into her office and pretended to have a squirt gun.

Zane surveyed the scene before him, Gibbs was to his right with Jenny sitting close to him, Tony was next to her with talking to Ziva who was to his left. Abby was next to Ziva and was talking to McGee and they both looked like happy teenagers for whatever reason. Then there were Angela and Hodgins who were discussing something with Dr. Brennan and Booth.

"Siete spaventato?" [Are you scared?]Zane heard his sister whisper to him as they ate their pizza.

"sì ma questi è la buona gente," [yes but these are good people] Tony started to hear the twins talking to each other but only caught Zane's response.

"What are you two trouble makers up to?" The twins immediately put on innocent faces that would have made Shirley Temple jealous.

"Nothing," Tony nodded at their simultaneous answer, an idea suddenly popped into his head, everyone else in the group had heard the discussion and started to listen as well.

"Well, I hope you weren't..." The twins realized what Tony was doing and tried to hide their laughs as Tony's head swiveled towards Ziva, "Sneaking." Everyone else looked confused as Tony and the kids doubled over laughing and Ziva punched Tony hard on the arm.

"Well, I figured seeing as everyone was so down in the dumps about being in lockdown, I found this and thought it might be fun," Hodgins reached behind and pulled out the movie, Smokie and the Bandit. "Who wants to watch?" Angela rolled her eyes and Brennan started to get up.

"Hey Bones where you going?" Booth grabbed her arm so that she was hunched over rather than standing.

"I do not want to watch a movie I'm going to go work on my book," Bones stated, still not making an attempt to free herself from his grip, a fact that didn't go unnoticed by Booth.

"Well, I have to go to the bathroom so I'll walk you to your office," Brennan sighed.

"That's not necessary Booth, I can see my office from here," Booth got up.

"Well then we're just two people walking down the ramp, okay?" Brennan accepted this answer and the two of them descended the stair case with Booth's hand on her back the whole way down. Ziva noticed this and leaned over to Angela,

"How long have they been together?" Angela burst out laughing, when her giggles subsided she answered her question.

"They're not together...yet, what do you say we team up and you know? I mean the two of us have partners why should they be out of the mix?" Ziva was confused,

"I'm not dating anyone,"

"What about Tony?" Angela motioned to where Tony was helping Hodgins set uo the television monitor, this time it was Ziva who started to laugh,

"No, no me and Tony are just partners, friends." Angela smiled an evil smile, where have I heard that before? she thought to herself.

"Hey Zee-Vah you wanna watch or what?" Ziva looked over at Tony and felt a blush creep up her cheeks and Angela smiled.

"One second Tony,"

"Hey Ziva, just so you know, Tony likes you too, I just thought you might want to know." Ziva felt the blush again this time much worse, Angela winked as Ziva made her way to sit next to Tony on the couch. Angela watched the two as the movie started up, Hodgins joined her on the other couch in the lounge.

"Your up to something," Hodgins wrapped his arm around her as his electric blue eyes bored into hers.

"Maybe, maybe not." Hodgins smirked as she leaned forward to kiss him. Tony noticed the two to his right, he then looked at Ziva who he could tell was trying to make sense of the movie. Tony figured she wasn't paying any attention so he casually draped his arm around her shoulders. Ziva did in fact notice but quickly found herself snuggling into his chest, not that she could say why.

Gibbs saw two of his agents on the couch and the other one was with the forensic scientist down in the lab area. Jenny noticed this and nudged him playfully in the ribs.

"It was bound to happen Jethro, you know he loves her." Gibbs smiled at the woman looking up at him with a smile on her face.

"Which one, DiNozzo or McGee?"

"I was talking about DiNozzo, everyone knows about McGee and Abby." Gibbs smirked.

"Yeah I know, just don't like it."

"Well we broke rule twelve are you okay with that?" Gibbs leaned down and kissed her tenderly. "I'll take that as a yes," Gibbs smirked as he watched his field agents curled up on the couch together, he knew it too. It was bound to happen.

True to his word Booth did in fact have to use the bathroom, only after he found himself in Brennan's doorway watching her work. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help it, as she was typing she had a look of pure determination, that's just one thing I love about her...Wait did I say love? Well that's not a shocker, I've known it for awhile, hell everyones known it for a while! Booth found himself lost in thought and Brennan didn't notice him. Booth found himself gazing at her when he noticed a strand of hair fall from behind her ear, purely on instinct he found himself striding to her desk and putting it back in its place. Brennan suddenly gasped at their closeness, she felt her heart beat faster in her chest, he smells really good, Brennan felt all rational thoughts leave her head as her eyes met his chocolate brown ones. They both felt their hearts racing as one thought ran through their minds; This is it. Booth saw disappointment in her eyes as he moved away, he felt his eyes fill up with tears as he backed into the doorway. Brennan got up from her chair and followed him. Booth didn't trust himself to speak as she cautiously moved towards him. The next thing he knew was that she had wrapped her arms around him, tilted his head up and kissed him. Booth pulled back first and leaned his forehead against hers.

"I take it we're not just partners anymore?"

Seriously I hate this chapter for whatever reason. Probably because I would love to leave out Abby and McGee cause they're hard to write about but it had to be done. Anyway I hope your not too disappointed, their next day at the lab will certainly be more eventful ;)
