A/N: Thank you for the reviews and emails. I know a few of you think Booth is acting off character in this, but I must say I feel he has been off character on the show all season.

Adapting

"Clear!" The EMT put the paddles on Tempe's chest and her body jolted up from the gurney. No change on the heart monitor. "Charging...Clear!" The shocked her again and again nothing. "Starting manual compressions." The two EMT's were doing manual compressions and pushing air into her lungs. She wasn't responding.

The ambulance jerks to a hault and the back doors swing open. I am pulled from it and I hear them shouting her stats as they wheel her away from me.

"Sir?" A hand on my shoulder startles me, it's a nurse. "Sir? Can you give me information on the woman you came in with?"

"Yeah...Dr. Temperance Brennan." My voice is raspy my throat feels tight. "She's been to this hospital before."

"Sir...do have anyone you want us to call for you?" She was leading me toward the waiting room.

"No...no, they should be here already." I feel like I am going to be sick...she can t be dead. "Can you get an update on her?" I could see the pity in the woman's eyes.

"Sure. Have a seat and as soon as I know something we will find you." I nodded and walked the waiting room.

"Jack!" Ang came running toward me and suddenly stopped. "Y..you're covered in blood. Jack, are you ok?" Her voice is frantic and Cam is now there too.

"It's not mine." My voice cracks and the tears are streaming down my face.

"Hodgins? Where is Brennan?" Cam's voice is strong but you can hear the fear in it.

"They..uh..they're working on her now." I looked at my hands and saw the blood. My stomach dropped and I ran to the bathroom immediately throwing up. I heard the door open, Cam and Angela came in. I sat back on floor and looked at them. Ang was crying and Cam looked lost. "Cam, can you see if they have scrubs I can change into?" She nodded and left, she was back within a minute with scrubs. "Cam, can you take Ang and go sit? I will be out right after I change and tell you both what I know." They both left and I locked the door. I peeled the clothes off and the scientist in me wanted to keep them in case of evidence but the rest of me wanted to burn them. I scrubbed my skin till I knew all the blood was gone. Took a deep breath and went into the waiting room to see Booth just walk in.

"How is she?" Booth was asking Cam and Ang, he didn't see me yet. I made my way over and sat next to Angela, grabbing her hand.

My throat was burning just trying to get the words past my lips. "She lost a lot of blood. Flatlined on the way in." I heard Cam gasp and Angela just sobbed harder. "It doesn't look good."

"She will be fine. She's Bones she is going to be fine." He paced a bit and ran his hand through his hair. The man was falling apart. "Did she say anything? Was she conscious at all?"

"Yeah she regained consciousness for a minute." I looked Booth in the eye and I honestly felt bad for him. This whole fucked up situation. "She just said 'Parker?'. I told her he was ok and she was out again." He didn't need to know that was when her heart stopped. I was pissed at the man but this was too much. Booth sat down in the chair across from me and put his head in his hands. "Did anyone call Max or Russ?"

Booth pulled out his cell and dialed. "Max?...Yeah listen Bones was hurt...Max calm down...We are at Georgetown Memorial." I could hear loud shouts in-between Booth talking. "He will be here soon." Not fifteen minutes later Max Keenan came running into the ER.

"Booth! Where is she?" He was angry and frantic.

"Still in surgery." Angela spoke, really first thing she said in awhile. "Did you call Russ?"

"Yes he is on his way. What the hell happened?" Max wanted answers, he was staring at Booth but I knew Booth was in no shape to deal with Tempe's dad.

"She was taken by the Gravedigger." I answered him, feeling the man deserved to know.

"But she was killed." Max voice was menancing, he wanted something to go after.

"Yes but she had an accomplice. Tempe saved Parker from being taken." Max actually smiled a bit at that. I knew he was found of Parker. I gripped Angie's hand because I know she hadn't heard all the details yet. "We got the location and found her. She was stabbed and buried in a freezer. It's bad Max." I felt bad for the man. He just got his daughter back and now he might lose her again.

"How did you find the location?"

"Paid the ransom money and was texted the location a few minutes later."

"Thank you." Max was thankful and I felt horrible. She might not make it, we didn't catch the bad guy and if she dies we are all lost.
