Booth stormed through the hospital doors to find the squints surrounding Brennan. She looked very pale, and seemed to be almost dead. "What's going on?"
Angela looked up at Booth, her face drenched with tears, "She's in a coma Booth. The doctor doesn't know how but the poisoning has spread throughout her entire body, he doesn't know if he can get rid of it."
Booth felt his heart pound extremely fast with hard painful beats. He felt like he himself was going to die from a broken heart. "No! He'll save her. I know he will. That's what doctors are for, aren't they?"
"They said, being that it's spread throughout her whole body, they don't know if they can save her now." She said with regret.
Booth shook his head, "No, she's fine. She's perfectly healthy. They'll use some technology you know. Something that'll clean it out…medicine."
"They're still not sure that it's gold."
Booth shouted at the top of his lungs, "BUT IT IS DAMMIT!! IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE, IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT TIES IN TO ANYTHING. THAT JEALOUS ASSISTANT OF HERS POISONED HER!!"
The squints stared at booth in surprise. They'd never seen him burst this much especially after he'd been to so many therapy sessions. They were all upset but they weren't about to punch through a wall because of it. Hodgins was the first to repsonde, "Dude, chill. The doctors are doing their best, we're just pointing out that we really don't have much time. Maybe, since you know what poisoned her, you could stay here and spend time with her just incase. Even if she is in a coma."
Booth shook his head, "Are you kidding? And let two murderers walk? No, I don't think that's the best option at the moment. I'm going in to question Daniel, Heather's boyfriend. Maybe he has some information that's worthwhile." He started to make his way to the door but stopped to turn around, "If she is okay, call me…if not…" his face hardened with sadness before he dispelled the awful thought from his brain. It took all the force of strength within him to exit the room of his distraught love.

"Heather's…dead?" Daniels face was stricken with shock. It looked as if he was frozen in place. "But--h-how?"
Booth shook his head, "We're trying to figure that out but we do know that she was murdered."
Daniel shook his head, "But how could that be possible? Everyone loves Heather."
Booth nodded, "I've heard. Melanie told me, her brother told me, oh and Zooey told me as well."
Daniel shook out of his frozen state at the mention of the name Zooey. " You talked to Zooey Park?" His eyes screamed out in fear. Booth could read him like an open book.
He smiled, "So, you did have an affair with Zooey. Why?"
Daniel sighed in defeat, "I have no idea. She invited me over because Heather was out with Melanie. She wanted me to comfort her because she was stressed from her marrital problems. When I arrived she had wine and food, the whole mood looked like she was setting up a romantic first date. I didn't know that she was trying to seduce me at the time but how can a guy resist charms from a girl with a body like that? She's like the carbon copy of a Victoria's Secret model." He chuckled at the thought. "But she was all over me in an instant. A few minutes later Marcus had opened the door on us almost completely naked in the center of the living room. It really…wasn't my fault. I tried to stop her but she seemed so sad I couldn't tear myself away from her."
"Did you love her?"
He piped up, "Who?"
"Zooey." Booth said knowingly.
Daniel smiled, "Yeah. I never wanted her to have an affair though on the account of me. I always dreamed she would divorce Marcus and cry on my shoulder even if it meant breaking up with Heather. Don't get me wrong, I loved Heather. She just didn't make me feel like I would die for her. I always wanted to feel that way, and with Zooey, I did.
Booth nodded at the familiar feeling, "I know what you mean."
"I just wish things had gone differently."
Booth snapped back to reality and immediately went back to questioning mode, "Do you know anyone who would want to hurt Heather?"
Daniel thought inquisitively. It almost looked like he was having a Sherlock Holmes moment. "I think the only ones that could possibly hurt her because of you know jealousy and such would be Marcus and Melanie. But Melanie is so into religion, I don't think she could do anything to Heather, unless of course she feels like she'd have repentance."
"So you think they could have hurt her."
Daniel shrugged, "I really don't know. But I do know that Marcus was going crazy not being able to tell Heather about me and Zooey. He really wanted to but I told him that it would ruin our relationship. Marcus, though he really hated me, kind of agreed. He didn't want anything to get in the way of Heather's happiness. It did build up inside him for awhile though. I don't know what would happen if something like that were to burst."
Booth nodded in realization. Marcus had said that if anything bad had ever happened to him then Melanie would pull him out of it. Poisoning Dr. Brennan could have been a way to get her away from figuring out who the real murderer was. The only way to break Marcus would be to break Melanie first. "Thanks for your time Daniel." He stood up to give the man a nice shake of the hand before leaving outside the door.
He was really close to figuring this out and he wouldn't rest till he figured out everything end saved both Brennan and the truth.
