"Hello? Are you there Agent Booth?" The man with the heavy accent asked Booth.

"Yea, I'm here Ortez." Booth's jaw clenched at the mention of that name. His free hand at his side, balled into a fist of anger and rage. Booth's blood began to simmer like a pot of water, beginning to bubble, and ready to spill any minute.

"Good, you remember me Agent Booth. Do you remember when you threatened me? I believe you told me: If anything happens to her, I will find you and kill you. I will not think twice. You hear me; if anything happens to her, I will kill you. I will call you in the morning with what I want from you. Then maybe I will give you 'your' Bones back or maybe I will just chop her into little pieces and send them to you in the mail every day just to remind you of what I did to her."

Booth became even more enraged. "If you harm her I will fucking kill you. I will not stop searching until I find you. I am going to spend every minute of every day looking for you. I will not eat or sleep until I find you and when I do, I will rip your heart out and cut your dick off you sick bastard. You hear me I will kill you!" Booth was now yelling into his phone.

"Oh, is that so Agent Booth and by the way your partner has a great body. I may have to take advantage of this gorgeous sexy body." Otrez said with an evil chuckle. "Goodbye."

Booth pressed the 'End' button on his phone and slammed it down on the table. He was so enraged and angry he took his hand, made a fist and punched the wall putting a hole in it.


Ortez immediately slammed Bones' phone into the concrete smashing it into pieces all over the ground so it would not be traced through GPS.

Bones had been alert and conscious and heard the whole conversation. Did Booth really threaten him? That is why he was late to the funeral. What was he thinking? I can protect myself. Yeah that's an ironic statement considering the position I'm in. She was angry with Booth for trying to protect her. She knew Booth would not stop until he found her just as he found her and Hodgins when they had been buried alive by the Gravedigger. He will never give up. Just as he told me, he knew I would never give up.

As she opened her eyes, she saw Ortez in front of her with that 'smirk' on his face that she wanted to smack off. "You should have taken me up on your offer to be your adorin' Salvadoran. You are going to regret what you did to me in the F.B..I. lobby." Ortez told Bones with a smug look on his face.

"The only thing I regret is not kicking you in the testicles!" Bones yelled back.

That comment earned Bones a punch to the abdomen followed by another. Otrez slapped her, took his knife out, and held it against her cheek. Bones eyes grew big as she felt the cold steel up against her cheek.

"I promise you will regret saying that." Ortez reached into his pocket and pull out a long sharp knife. Ortez grabbed Bones shirt, put the knife against her shirt, and cut her shirt down the middle. Bones closed her eyes and wished Booth would get there quickly. Ortez stepped back as to enjoy the view he had. Bones only had her bra covering herself as her shirt was in shreds. Ortez began to run the knife up and down her body.

Ortez pressed the knife to her neck and whispered in her ear. "If you obey me I will let you go, but I might have to take advantage of the beautiful body of yours while you are hear.

"Fuck you." Bones spat at Ortez as she tried to wiggle her hands from the rope but to no avail. Ortez threw a left jab across her face knocking her out cold


Immediately after the phone call, Booth was thinking of ways he could find Bones. He knew he had to work quickly. Booth immediately picked up the phone and dialed the F.B.I.. After he got off the phone with the F.B.I., he dialed Cam's number.

"Hello?"

"Cam it's Booth. Bones has been kidnapped I need you to round up the squints and meet me at the lab in 20 minutes."

After Booth hung up with Cam, he immediately called Angela.

"Hi G'man. Why you calling me this late? Did you and Brennan decide to take my advice."

"Angela just listens." Booth noticed Angela went quiet for a moment. She must have noticed his tone in his voice. "Bones has been kidnapped."

"Oh my god Booth, what are you going to do?"

"I already called Cam. She will probably be calling you any minute but I wanted you to hear it from me first. Just meet me in the lab in 20 minutes and I'll talk to you then."

"Okay."

Booth headed to the F.B.I. to retrieve some evidence he thought might help them find out where Ortez had taken Bones. After he grabbed the evidence and got in his SUV, he sped off leaving nothing but trails of rubber along the road all the way to the Jeffersonian. I should have walked her to her car then she would not be in danger. I am going to find him and if he hurts her in any, I am going to kill that bastard. Fuck that, I am going to torture him first, then kill him slowly, very slowly. Booth slowly felt the anger rising up in his body again. His jaw clenched and his muscles twitched as he gripped the steering wheel even harder, making his knuckles white like a ghost.

He sure hoped 'his' squints were as good as he had advertised to others. He was about to find out as he slammed on the brakes in the Jeffersonian parking lot, leapt out of his car in stride and into the Jeffersonian, Booth was sure he broke about 20 laws driving to the Jeffersonian but he really didn't care at the moment. All he cared about was finding Bones, rescuing her, and killing Ortez in the process. He did not care if his list of kills would grow. As long as Bones was safe, with him, it did not matter. He would rather spend an eternity in hell if he had to kill to keep Bones safe. Bones was his responsibility and he was going to do anything and everything to keep her safe no matter what the cost.
