Last time: "Hello Temperance. Have you missed me?" There's only one person who this could be and it makes my skin crawl. "Hello Ari. Killed or shot at anyone recently?"

Bones POV

"It's so good to hear your voice again." I mouth to Booth that it's Ari and to trace the call. "Wish I could say the same. Really I'd rather see you in Ducky's morgue."

"Oh, just like the first time we met?" I grind my teeth together. "Cute but no. More like me watching as Ducky performs an autopsy."

He chuckles and I hear Booth talking on his cell to an FBI tech trying to get it traced. "Oh Temperance. You still have such a nasty temper. And as beautiful as always. I saw you the other night. Who is your new friend? Is it the FBI man you've been keeping company with these days?"

"Well, aren't you just a curious little sociopath. You know me and Kate were a lot alike but there is one way we differ. If I get the chance, I won't hesitate to kill you. And I promise you it will be very painful. You aren't going to make it out of this alive."

"Is that a threat, Temperance?" Okay he's really getting on my nerves now. I'm about to snap. "No it's a promise. You've shot at me, you've shot at Abby and you killed Kate. Do you honestly believe that Gibbs or Tony will let you live? Because right now there's a competition to see who can kill you first!" My voice raises with each word until I'm almost screaming at the end.

"Have you ever considered that maybe Caitlin is alive?" I lose all my anger instantly. "Wha- That's impossible! How could she have survived?" "Oh but I've said too much. I must go. I'll be in touch Temperance. By the way, I think your FBI friend will discover that he can't trace this call." "No! Kate's alive!? What do you mean, Ari? Ari!"

I hang up and turn towards Booth. "Sorry Bones, it couldn't be traced." Oh I HATE Ari.

"It's okay Booth. He said you wouldn't be able to trace it. Not your fault." I look at everyone. "Can we please go now? I want to be with the others."

Booth slings his arm over my shoulders. "Sure. Come on Squints, we're leaving."

Booth POV

I know she'll tell me about what Ari said later but I want to know now. She seems so sad, angry and lost. The silence is almost unbearable, but I know she doesn't want to say anything in front of the squints. When we approach the NCIS building she perks up just a little.

"So this is where you used to work Bones?" I look over at her and I see her smile. "Yeah. There was never a dull moment."

She points at a nearby field. "Sometimes, in the spring, if we didn't have a case or we had just finished a big one, we'd go out there and play flag football or baseball or something like that. Boys against girls and Ducky would referee"

We pull into the parking lot and Gibbs and Tony are standing outside the doors. When I park the car, she jumps out and runs towards them.

Bones POV

I hug Gibbs and then Tony. "Are you okay? Abby said you didn't get shot but maybe she didn't see it. I'm glad you're okay. What happened? Are you sure you're not hurt?" He hugs me tighter to him.

"Yeah Temp. I'm fine, I promise. We were in her lab and he shot at her through the window. No one got hurt."

I pull away and face Gibbs again. "Gibbs he called me. We tried to trace the call but we couldn't." "It'll be okay. Look McGee and Abby are up in the bullpen. See if they can't trace it okay? We'll be up in a minuet." I nod and head inside.

After having worked here for so long it feels like a homecoming, even if I have to wear a visitor's pass. So many familiar faces but they all have sadness on them. As I reach the bullpen I pause. Abby is sitting at McGee's desk, crying again. Poor McGee looks like he doesn't have a clue how to help her.

"Hey guys. McGee could you go get us some candy out of the vending machine? And I need you to try and trace the last call to my cell phone." He looks at me gratefully. "Sure let me go get the candy first and then I'll have a look at it."

I crouch down beside Abby amd hug her. "It's not fair." She wails "She didn't deserve to die. I wish he had never been born. We didn't do anything to him. Now he wants us dead too." Her breathing is very ragged. "Abs you need to calm down or you're going to hyperventilate." Slowly she starts to calm down. "It's just so hard you know? She had so much she wanted to do. And she was going to finally tell Tony that she was in love with him."

"She what?!" I snap my head towards his voice. "Tony.." and he bolts before I can say more. I glance at the others who just came in before I take off after him. "Tony wait! Come back!"

Angela POV

Well. This is interesting. While Bren went inside we hung back while Booth talked to Agents DiNozzo and Gibbs. Both are very hot even if Gibbs is a little intimidating. Tony went inside ahead of us and on our way up we ran into a Dr. Mallard who told us to call him Ducky. When we got up to the bullpen I saw Bren holding on to a crying woman. She looked gothic and I think she's the one that they call Abby.

Anyway they were talking about something with Tony only a few feet away but I don't think they knew he was there. Tony tensed up after Abby said something but I didn't hear what. He said something in response and Bren turned to him. She tried to talk to him and he bolted. Bren looked at us then took off after him.

Another man walked up to Gibbs. "Boss what happened?" "I don't know yet McGee." They all walked over to Abby and Booth followed them.

"Abigail, what happened?" Ducky asks. "We were talking and Tony overheard us say something Kate had wanted to do." "Abby what was it?" McGee asks. He's hovering over her like he's scared she'll break. It's kind off sweet how he's acting.

"She was in love with him, wasn't she? That's what he heard?" Gibbs says, more of a statement then a question. "Yeah. God Ari wrecked so much. She was going to tell him last night. Temp and I had to reassure her so many times that he liked her." Oh. It's so sad. I hope Bren tells Booth how she feels before something like this happens to them. But is Bren really the best one to deal with Tony? "Maybe I should go see if Bren's okay with him." The entire NCIS team looks at me like I've grown a second head. Gibbs especially. "No. Temp knows him better than anyone except Kate. She'll take good care of him."

Bones POV

I follow Tony onto the roof. "Tony…" He looks at me with heartbreak in his eyes. "She really loved me?" I nod. "I-I loved her too. But I never thought she'd feel the same. She was way too good for me. So far out of my league it wasn't even funny." He sinks to the ground and I sit beside him. I wrap my arms around him and his tears start. I wish I could do something to help him.

"Tony I'm so sorry. I know it doesn't bring her back. If I could though I'd bring her back." My vision blurs as tears of my own come to my eyes. I force them back, willing myself to be strong for Tony.

As his tears stop I'm afraid he's fallen asleep. "We're going to get him Temp. He may have taken Kate from me, but he won't get you or Abby." I smile. "I know Tony. Come on. Let's get back inside."

Booth POV

As we wait for Tony and Bones to rejoin us, Angela pulls me to the side.

"How well do you know Tony?" Unsure of where she's going with this I reply. "Not very well. I know he's one of Bones's friends and now I know that Kate loved him. Pretty sure by how he ran from the room that he loved her too."

She looks at me like Bones does when I miss something important. "Hello! Exactly my point! You only think the guy loved her! What if he doesn't and he likes Bren? You heard Gibbs, she knows him better than anyone. What if he tries something?"

I should've known that it'd be something about Bones and me. If she really is all knowing about relationships like she clams then why can't she see that Tony loved Kate? "Angela I really do think he loved Kate. I heard Bones talking to Gibbs about it last night. They both seemed pretty sure about that. Kate loved Tony. Tony loved Kate. He's really upset and Bones just wants to help him."

As I finished explaining to Angela, Bones and Tony walked in. You could tell he had been crying. "Sorry about that." He said.

Abby walked up to him and hugged him. "You don't have to be sorry about that Tony. It's hard. We understand." He smiled at her. "Right now Abs I just want to get Ari."

Bones walks to my side. "How are you holding up Bones?" She smiles at me. "I'm okay. We're gonna get through this."

"Did he really hear you and Abby talking about how Kate loved him?" I ask. She looks around and pulls me off to the side.

"Yeah. Kate loved him. Before she died she told me and Abs that she wanted to tell him. She was going to tell him last night but Ari got to her first. Tony heard us talking about it. He loved her too but they didn't tell each other because they were scared. Now they'll never have that chance."

Bones POV

I can see everything about Kate and Tony has made Booth think. He knows that it's sort of like us, only we're still alive. My heart speeds up as he comes closer.

"I know another couple like them." He says. "Really?" he nods. "Yeah only the guy isn't so scared anymore. But he's not so sure how the girl feels."

Oh God. It's now or never. "I might know how the girl feels." "Really? Is the girl going to tell the guy?" I take a deep breath. "Yeah. The girl is still scared but if the guys is willing to help her, she'll take her chances."

A brilliant smile rushes across his face and I feel an answering smile tugging at my lips. "The guys is ready and willing to help Bones. Just as long as the girl feels the same."

Still smiling, I roll my eyes. "Come on Booth I think we're both aware that you're the guy and I'm the girl. But yes, I do feel the same."

He swoops me up in his arms and twirls me around. "Then does this mean I can kiss you without mistletoe or Caroline?" I laugh, feeling extremely happy. "It means, Booth, that if you don't I'll have to hurt you." He sets me down and pulls me close. "Well we can't have that now, can we?"

He leans closer and I think my heart will bust if it beats any harder. Our lips are just millimeters apart, my eyes flutter closed and I can feel his breath on my lips.

"Hey Temp! Agent Booth! Come on, grab your gear! Ari's been spotted." I groan and hear Booth curse under his breath. I lean my forehead against his as I mentally curse Gibbs' bad timing. "Coming Gibbs!" I look at Booth. "To be continued, Bones?" I smile. "Oh yeah. Very soon." He gives me a charm smile and he rests his hand in it's spot on my back as we head to the others. And all the way I curse Gibbs bad timing again and again.

I know. I know. I'm evil aren't I? You would be surprised at how often I get that. I showed this to Rainie and another friend of mine and I had to duck to avoid the flying pencil and notebook. So why don't you review and tell me how evil I am or if you liked it or hated it. And I am going to hide in my nice fortress to avoid any flying projectiles okay? Love ya *Star*
