Hannah had called Temprence at least four diffrent times,and she didn't answer. From what she's heard from Seely,Temprence always answers her phone with a prompt 'Brennan'.She wouldn't usually not answer unless something was amiss,as Seely put it,'If she was in danger.'

Not that Hannah was worried. She doesn't really like Brennan. Hannah sees her as competition for her man,and even though Temprence will constantly say "There is nothing going on between Booth and I. We are only partners."Hannah Burley can't shake the feeling that there was and still is something there,and Temprence was just hiding that. Seely said she was very good at hiding emotions like that.

She had noticed Seely had gotten up this morning as though he didn't want to get up, he just wanted to stay in bed all day and...Sob. Sob was the only word she could form in her pretty little blond head right now."Seely,I'm off for work!See you when I get home!"She yelled from the front door to the bathroom,where Seely had been the past half hour. Hannah didn't hear anything in response from him,so she left. She had left a bit early today,as she has planned to pay the good docter a visit at the Jeffersonian before she went to work. It was on her route,after all.

Angela Montenegro Loved Seely Booth. Not Sexually;albiet he is hot,yes,But she already has a husband and baby on the way anyway. She loves him in a way in which a sister loves her brother. And sisters and brothers always stick together,no matter what.

Except for this instant.

You see,Angela Montenegro loved Temprence Brennan as well,again,not sexual,she's over her lesbian phase,but as a sister, and sisters always stick together as well,and sisterly love always beats brotherly love.

And that is why Angela Montenegro did not appreciate seeing Hannah Burley at the Jeffersonian;Brennan's escape from the real world that she hates so much ,and here Hannah was,barging in here like she was the boss.

She is not the boss.

Brennan is.(Except for Cam.)

But,Angela put on a smile. She'd rather have Hannah on the 'friend' side than the 'enemy' side."Hi,Angela,right?"Hannah came up beside the walking Angela on her way to her office,but Angela stopped and faced Hannah."Yeah,thats me."She smiled."Your Booth's new girlfriend;Hannah?"

Hannah nodded."Yeah."

"Can I help you find anything?I can only assume your looking for Docter Brennan."Angela said.

"Yeah,do you know where I might find her at?"

"Well one place to look in her office,but she hasn't been in yet."Angela looked a bit preturbed and worried at the same time.This woman has no busness poking around Brennan,but I haven't seen Bren all day...I hope she's okay..

"Really?Seely says she's usually one of the first here."Now Hannah was a bit worried. It's not like she hated the woman,and she hoped she is okay.

"That's what worries me.I think I'm about to go see if I can leave for a bit to check up on her. Your welcome to stay untill I get back;who knows,I might bring Bren back with me and you can talk to her then."Angela suggested.

"No,It's okay,I need to get to work.I'll drop by later though and see if she's okay."Hannah looked at her watch."Damn!I really have to go!"She paniced."It was nice meeting you!"Hannah said,running into a very tired looking Booth,who loked suprised at why his girlfriend was here.

"What are you-"He didn't have time to finish.

"I'll explain later;Gotta run!Love you!"She said,giving him a quick peck and running-no,sprinting-out of the Jeffersonian.

Booth just shook his head and walked up to Angela."Hey Ange,"He said,Angela notticing his voice had lost more of the spark than it's had since being back in the states."Bones in her office?We have a case."He was completly unenthused.

"Sweetie,you look awful,things okay between you and Bren?"Angela placed a comforting hand on his shoulder."Yeah we're fine."Obviously covering up a lie."So is the docter in?"He said,attempting to make a pun.

Angela ignored it though,because she knew things.

She knew Bren wasn't here.

She knew Seely Booth looked mighty guilty,and like he didn't sleep a wink last night.

And last of all,she knew Temprence Brennan wasn't in for work yet.

"No,actually,she hasn't been in at all."Angela said,not trying to hide her worry for her best friend. That put a spark in Booth's eyes,but not the good kind. The kind where he was you knew it.

"She hasn't?"Did his voice go down an octive?

"No,Booth,not at all."He looked very worried at that point.

"Okay,I'm pretty sure I know where she is,so I'm going to go get her,bring her here,then everything will be just damn peachy again."He said,handing Case Files to Angela."Hold onto these for me."And he was gone,like a rocket.

Brennan didn't actually care about becoming sober again. As the intoxicating effects of the strong burbon were wearing off,and she remembered why she was so distressed to go and get that drunk,she drove,since she was no longer a threat to other cars and people,went to the local Beer store and picked herself up something stronger.

A nice,big bottle of Sam Adams strongest logger.

Temprence Brennan,who prides herself on restraining when everyone else is getting drunk and she just has a simple tequellia,is going to drink the pain away.

Drink the Booth away.

Drink all the nights with take-out away.

Drink everything that ever consisted of Seely Booth in her memory away.

Once she got home,she shut her door,locked it,shut all the blinds in the apartment,went in her room,shut the door,and remained in her private sancuary for hours.

Drinking away the Booth.

BBBBBBBB

First he called her,and when she didn't answer by the fifth call he got really worried.What if she was kidnapped?What if she was killed?What if she was taken somewhere,being tortred for some kind of information she didn't even have?All of these worries were coursing through his head,when the only thing that was endangering Brennan at the moment was all the beer she was chugging.

She wasn't having small shots,if Temprence didn't stop soon,she would literally kill herself.

Boothy better come rescue soon.
