The very same man who had spotted Brennan in Wong Fu's had been watching her for the past twenty four hours. He knew that since the FBI had her help, she and her partner would be able to catch him and destroy everything he had worked so hard for. There was no way he would let that happen. That was why he had bought Brennan himself, and currently he was waiting for her soon to be kidnappers.

A car sped around the corner and came to a quick stop right in front of him.

"Ah, Zane, Claire. Good to see you finally arrived," the man smiled.

Both leaned out their windows excitedly, "Who do you want us to pick up this time, boss?"

"Dr. Temperance Brennan. She should be a challenge to get. You know the rule: do not get caught. If this is successful, you will get three times as much money as you normally get."

Both of them stared at him in pure shock for a second, but grins were quickly plastered across their face. "You got it!"

He watched as they sped off again. They always got their target before and he was sure they would get Brennan fairly easy, even with her protection. Maybe he'll throw a party. Temperance Brennan was completely worth it.


Booth and Brennan stopped by the lab to get the kids from Cam before going to the FBI building. Booth said he needed to pick up some paper work from his office. He let her stay in the car to watch the kids but told her to keep the doors locked and windows closed at all times. He even let her have his gun while he was in the FBI building. So that was how she had been left alone, with two infants, in an underground parking lot. Booth seemed to be taking his time, as twenty minutes past. If it wasn't the fact that she was the one being targeted by these guys, she'd have thought he was kidnapped, but that was slightly unlikely. She looked behind her at the sleeping Atheormis and Evangeline and smiled.

However, the peace was shattered when a gun broke her window. She turned to face her attacker, but was stopped when a chloroform soaked rag was placed over her face. Brennan fought against it, but it was still no use. Only one thought passed through her mind before the darkness took over. 'Where the hell was Booth?'


Booth meanwhile was only just around the corner. He almost felt relieved when everything seemed silent. That was until he heard the crashing sound of a window being broken, and the babies crying. Without hesitation, he ran towards the car, and saw two people dragging Brennan toward their van. He instinctively reached for his gun, but cursed when he remembered he gave it to her. The two heard him and the male ran up to him. He had some punches ready to swing at him, but before he could, the other guy hit him upside the head with his gun, knocking him out.


The party was all set. His usual customers were there, everyone that ran the website was there, a few prostitutes. All that was missing was Zane, Claire, and Temperance. But not for long.

"The party crashers have arrived, and bearing gifts!" Zane yelled as he and Claire stepped into the room, making everyone laugh.

Brennan and Booth stood next to them, bound and gagged. The man grinned at seeing Brennan but frowned slightly when he saw Booth.

"What the hell is he doing here?"

"He interrupted us, so we decided to bring him with us so you can decide what to do with him. Can't let him blab off information about us to his FBI buddies."

Claire wrapped an arm around Zane and said dreamily, "If it wasn't for the fact I have Zane here, I would definitely buy Agent Booth here. He sure is a fine hunk of meat."

"Well then, since you have Zane, how would you like to get rid of Mr. Booth for us."

Brennan looked frantically at Booth as Claire took out her gun and took aim at Booth.

"With pleasure."
