So, I realised I haven't uploaded in a while, and I thought of this drabble when I was watching Lost and Shannon pointed a gun at John.

I've already written a new chapter for A Stab of Sorrow, but I just need to check through it first, so it'll probably be uploaded tomorrow :)

Happy reading

Oh and yes, I tried REALLY hard to not mention the name of the guy 'cause I couldn't think of one ;)

WARNING; Character death. This is not for the happy!


"Bones, put the gun down." He pleaded as she released the safety with a loud "click"

"I can't Booth. He killed Angela. He killed my best friend."

"I know Bones, I know. Just give me the gun, huh? Just hand it to me and he'll go to prison for a very long time." He stepped towards her tentatively, reaching towards the gun. Seeing the movement from the corner of her eye, Brennan twirled around to face him, the gun now pointing at his chest. "Hey now Bones, you don't want to do that."

"Don't I?"

"No Bones, just hand me the gun, come on Honey." She shook her head violently, sending the tears that she had been holding at bay down her cheeks.

"I can't Booth. I can't. He killed Ange. He killed her." She sniffed loudly and swiped her free hand over her face, wiping away her tears angrily. She turned back to face the culprit, pointing the gun at his head. "Why did you do it?" She asked, "Why did you kill her?"

"To get to you."

"Well you did. Are you happy now? Are pleased with yourself?!" She waved the gun around wildly, as Booth stepped in front of her, causing the gun to again point at him. "Booth? What are you doing? Get out of my way."

"No Bones."

"Booth?"

"I can't let you do this to yourself, Bones. You'll hate yourself for this later."

"No I won't."

"Yes you will. Just hand me the gun, Sweetie, and this will be all over with."

"No." She whispered hoarsely, "I have to do this for Ange."

"Well then you'll have to shoot me too."

"What? Why?"

"Because if I hadn't been drinking that night, I would have been able to drive. I would have arrived in time. She would still be here."

"I miss her Booth. I miss her so much."

"I know Baby, I know." He reached out and gently pulled the gun from her grasp, putting the safety on and slipping it into his pocket. Turning back to face the man which his partner almost killed, he cuffed him, rather violently, and practically threw him at the backup officers that had just arrived.

He crossed the distance between them in two long strides and threw his arms around her, crushing her against his chest as she cried for all that she had lost.
