7. 9 things to do before you die

Previously on the Rose in Red

"What if it's my team, could they been trying to get to them." Brennan stood up

"It's possible." Steve said "If it's a big group, the house sees them as a threat. They are going to split them up."

"And if they do that. They will die." Brennan got up, walked out the door. She was followed by the guy.

"What are we going to do?" She said while she looked at him.

"There is nothing we can do." Steve said "We have to think about ourselves first. If we go there, we will be the once who they kill. And we don't want that to happen."

"You are saying that we can not save them." Brennan looked at him. She swung the door open, and walked out of it. "I don't care what happens to me. I would rather go save them, and die. Then sit here and don't do anything. I could never live with myself, if I let them die. I would rather die a hero. Then live as a coward."

"Okay." Steve stood up walking behind her.


"You keep the door closed." Booth said "While we prepare Dr. Sweets to be served."

Cam smiled. She had to admit that Booth was very funny in danger situation. Angela was standing against the door, holding it close.

"Me?" Sweets was watching Booth. "Don't you think we should send Dr. Sorayon out, It's her house for a reason." "I think the child makes sense." Hodgins smiled

"Dr. Hodgins." Cam watched him. "How would you like your letter of resignation? If you don't like that, I would not joke with me." "Okay, Dr. Saroyan." Hodgins had a big grin on his face. Angela was rather afraid and was standing behind Booth. Using his body as a shield. "So what are we going to do?" Angela asked "I mean we get out."

"No!" Booth reacted "I don't know what you guys think, but I came here to save Brennan. And I have a feeling she's still in here." "Hey, Booth." Angela said "We have to think about ourselves first. Get out of here. Booth we are not going to find Brennan if things keep going on like this. This house is going to kill us. And Brennan is probably dead. She's been in this house for like 2 weeks. You believe she can survive this house all by herself?"

"I think we should go find her." Booth looked at her. His eyes were full of fire. Hope, hope that hey could find her. "She would not give up on me. And I'm not going to give up on her. She is still here, I feel it in my gut. And I know you feel it too."

"Yeah, I feel it Booth." Angela sat down "But I'm afraid. This house makes me afraid. It gives me a feeling. That I can't escape." "It was designed to break heart, like Ellen's was broken." Cam walked around the house. "To hurt like she was hurt."

"We got to go out of her. Before.." Sweets started to get in panic


"Okay, how do we get their attention to us?" Brennan asked "I mean how do we get them to split up?" "We give them a threat." Steve watched Tempe "Are you clairvoyant by any chance?"

"No!" Brennan looked at him "I guess not." "If you were, you would know." Steve watched her. "You don't believe in that kind of stuff, do you?""I didn't believe in it." Brennan stepped of the stairs "All my life I tried to proof there were no ghost, and that kind of stuff, just to find out I am wrong."

"Well, you at least want to say, you're wrong." Steve replied "I never believe in this stuff."

"We get them here by giving them a reason." Steve took a hammer. Smashing it in the wood. "I'm destroying the house."

Steve handed her a wooden tool. And told her to smash it in to anything she could see. Brennan gave the bet a swing and smashed it in a statue.

"Like this." She yelled while she put the bet trough the glass of a cabinet. She watched him smash the bed.

"Exactly like that." Steve smiled "I think she's coming." "Who's coming?" Brennan worried. She dropped the bet on the ground. "I have no idea." Steve was afraid. She could tell that he was afraid. She didn't have an idea what was coming their way.


It became very quiet. Booth felt that the ghost were going away. But at the same time he knew that something more dangerous was happening in the house. A bigger power.

"What's happening Booth?" Cam asked "What's going on?""They are gone." Angela watched "That's a good thing right?"

"No." Booth replied "It means that all these powers the house send to us, found a bigger threat."

Booth got up. He walked around in the room. "What would send their attention to destroying other people?" Cam watched him, like he was trying to shoot a guy from a mile distance. She saw that pressure in his eyes. She recognized from the day Brennan had been buried alive.

"What do you mean?" Angela walked up to Booth. She grabbed his hand. "What other threat? What is the other threat?!"

Booth didn't answer her question. He looked at the other side. Angela still had his hand in hers, and squished it tighter. Booth tried not to watch her.

"Who?" She repeated herself. "Pleas tell me what you are thinking."

"Bones." Angela heard Booth saying what she thought he would say. Cams eyes were darker. She got really afraid. "What are we going to do?" Sweets voice was worried. Not like the 12 year old he was, in Booths opinion. Booth couldn't smile, he couldn't even frown. In his mind he was with Bones. His Bones. He never told her how much he loved her. This power was going to eat her. And he couldn't even tell her that he loved her.


Brennan was body pressed against the wooden floor. She could feel a power getting closer. In anthropology she had seen worship of gods, but she always said that those people were absolutely entirely crazy. Out of their minds. But now she knew that gods were just a myth. They were the top of the iceberg, that kept a terrible secret. She was very afraid. She watched Steve. He had the bet in his hands.

"We have to do something." Brennans lips were turning a bit blue, from the ice cold wind coming their way. "How are we going to get us this situation?" "We don't" he replied "What do you mean?" Brennan got up "What do you mean we don't?"

"We die!" He replied "We die, there are no different things that can happen!"
