Chapter 9
Thank you for all of the reviews! You guys rock. Sorry it took so long to update. I had writer's block. Review and Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones, just the plot :)
B&B!B&B!B&B!
Previously: "Since they are here "watching over you" I think we need a plan. (Booth)
"Am I the bait in this plan?" (Temperance Brennan)
"As much as I hate to do this, yes." The both converse over the plan and began preparing for action.
"So what's the plan to catch the murderer?" Angela came up from behind Brennan and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Obliviously these guys are keeping tabs on me so Booth and I came up with an idea." Brennan said with confidence. She knew that if her voice wavered and sounded worried Booth would never go through with it.
"What we are going to do…" Booth whispered the plan in Angela's ear.
"No way! That is too dangerous."
"Wait a minute! I'm the "bait," so I am the one who is going decide to continue or not. Plus Booth and the FBI will be there to back me up!" The anthropologist begged. Angela gave a disapproving glance towards Booth.
"Angela is right, it might be too dangerous."
"Do you want to catch these guys or not! It is the only solution." The artist and FBI agent sent one more glance saying she-is-never-going-to-back-down to each other then nodded solemnly.
"I have to go. Good luck Bren. Be careful!"
"There is no such thing in luck, but I will be careful." Angela rolled her eyes and hugged her friend tightly.
Once she left Brennan's office Booth asked, "Alright. Want to do it tomorrow?"
"Yes. In the mean time, how about some lunch?"
"Sounds good." Brennan grabbed her purse and Booth picked up her jacket. He gracefully placed it on her shoulders. With his hand on the small of her back they left to go eat.
B&B!B&B!B&B!
Once they were both safely seated in Booth's van they took off.
"Where to?" Brennan asked while rubbing her grumbling stomach.
"I think we should try somewhere new."
"Okay! What did you have in mind?"
"How about that Mexican food?"
"Yum. Sounds good."
The couple rode the rest of the ride in silence. As their destination grew near their conversation began again.
"Are you nervous?" he gave a sideways glance at Brennan who seemed deep in thought.
"Yes and no."
"Yes?"
"I don't want anyone else to get hurt."
"You don't have to worry about that Bones. Everyone will have bulletproof vests and weapons, etcetera. Why are you not afraid? This is a terrible position that I'm putting you in." Regret consumed Booth's face immediately.
"You aren't putting me through this, I am. If you didn't have me go I probably would go anyways." Booth frowned. "The reason I am not afraid is because I want this sick murderer put behind bars."
"I agree with you." Booth's face was now neutral. Pulling the car to a brake, Booth and Brennan stepped out of the car. Booth took lead and Brennan trailed quietly behind. They both were still shaken up about a murderous man on the loose with an equally crazy companion. Just as Booth reached for the cold, silver-painted handle of the front door a loud gunshot rang out in the air. Brennan cried out when she saw her partner sprawled out on the pavement with crimson blood pooling out from his stomach.
Cliffhanger! Sorry that this chapter wasn't full of much action. I promise lots of action in the next chapter! Thanks for reading, please review!
