Flynn wasn't happy that I had told Booth everything but I didn't care. I knew he'd keep the secret, even if he decided not to be with me anymore, he knew how important it was. So here we were, the three of us, hiking through the Brazilian Rain Forest towards the temple where it all began.

"How much further?" Booth asked.

"About a quarter mile." I said.

"Zero point two three miles." Flynn corrected.

"Close enough he doesn't need specifics."

"Hey I'm just answering the man since he had to come."

"Oh just drop it Flynn."

"Whatever."

"Do you guys always fight like this?" Booth asked ammused.

"Pretty much, Mr. Super Genius here has to be specific about everything. If you ask him the temperature he'll tell you in degrees ferenheit, celsius and kelvin."

"Oh and you're just little miss sunshine?" Flynn retorted.

"Enough!" Booth yelled.

It was quiet for a while while I navigated through the familiar forest. When I knew we were getting close I pulled the gun from my waistband, holding up my hand to signal them to stop.

"Snipers?" Flynn asked.

"Two of them."

"You can't take out a sniper at this range with a nine mil." Booth said confidently.

"Watch me."

I fired off two rounds into the distance, they were only tranquillizeres but they'd get the job done. The snipers fell from the trees with a hard thud as Booth stared at me in amazement.

"I guess I was wrong. So what's the plan?" he asked.

Flynn and I looked at each other before I spoke.

"There's only one way in and that's the front door, luckily we've done this before."

"Quite a few times." Flynn added.

"So that's the plan? Just go in the front?" Booth asked like he couldn't believe it.

"We've got less than three hours, we don't have time for a better plan. Besides my father always said that the quickest way to infiltrate the enemy base is to allow yourself to be captured."

"Makes sense."

"So basically we get taken prisoner, I escape and take everyone out."

"And how exactly do you plan on doing that."

"Like I said, we've done this before."

I put my gun away and we slowely made our way to the temple. Standing by the front door were two guards. We approached them like it was nothing and they raised their guns.

"Oh I wouldn't shoot if I were you." I said confidently.

"And why is that?" one of them asked.

"Well you see, your boss, he'd like to do the honors himself and if you kill me he'll just kill you."

"So you must be the Protectress." the other assumed.

"It's nice to find someone who actually has a brain."

They took our weapons, cuffed us, and led us inside. They sat us on the ground rather forcefully next to Zack.

"How ya doin' little bro?" I asked him.

"Good considering, why is Booth here?"

"Well like you said he's stubborn and I knew he wasn't gonna let me leave without him."

"Damn right I wasn't!" he jumped in.

"Just a heads up this'll go a lot smoother is you keep quiet, no offense."

"Alright."

"Resa you shouldn't have come, he'll kill you." Zack said.

"I know exactly what he's planning and don't worry. Once I take care of that bitch he won't stand a chance."

"What bitch?" Booth asked.

"Gabriella Montoya." I said coldly as she approached us.

"Hello Theresa." she said.

"Gabby."

"I told you not to call me that!" she yelled.

"Yeah well don't take it personally, I don't take orders from people who plan on killing me."

"And I'll take pleasure in it." she said grinning evily.

"Then don't blame me when your boss shoots you to obtain the powers of the amulet."

"What are you talking about?"

"Damn Flynn, she worked for you for almost six months and she still doesn't understand how it works." I said laughing.

"That's enough Protectress." I heard a deep voice say from behind Gabriella that I recognized as Viggo Scott's.

"Former Protectress." I corrected.

"Same difference, you still murdered my brother and for that you will pay dearly."

"I did not murder him, God why do you keep saying that? Riley shot me first, it's not my fault he had bad aim."

"Enough! His blood is still on your hands!"

"Oh just get on with the monologue."

"Monologue?" he asked.

"Yeah, you know, all you bad guys feel the need to rant about their big master plan and why we deserve to die and what not."

He didn't seem to like my comment very much because he pulled out his gun and fired a round towards Zack. While we had been talking I was picking the lock on my cuffs and they fell away just in time for me to dive infront of him, the hot lead embedding itself in my shoulder. He seemed happy about that and I'm sure he expected it because he smiled and walked towards a table as his men came after me.

I stood up, pulling out the hunting knife concealed in my boot and turned to face his five men. They attacked one by one and I knocked them all unconcious with the butt of the knife. I didn't like killing unless I had to and I knew once Viggo was dead they'd run for the hills. The only thing that stood between us was Gabriella and she was one person who wouldn't get out of here alive.

She lunged at me, knife ready as I had taught her, and I spun to the left stabbing her in the side. She was a tough girl and came after me again, anticipating my dodge and swung the knife in a wide arc, opening a deep gash in my right arm. This time I lunged at her, knowing she'd dive and I stuck the knife right in her throat.

I pulled it out as she fell to the floor and I wiped it on my jeans. I hadn't felt the pain from the bullet wound in my left shoulder until now, but I ignored it, there was still work to do. I turned to Viggo as he picked up his gun and shot off another round, this one grazing my side.

"Think you could aim that a little better? All you're doing is making me more angry." I said coldly.

"I'm sorry, look just - " he started in a panicked voice as he realized he didn't stand a chance.

"Just what? Forget you kidnapped my brother? Forget you tried to kill him? Forget you shot me? Just let you go and you won't bother me again? I don't think so. I won't make that mistake again Viggo."

Then he did something I wasn't expecting at all. He pressed the gun to his head and took his own life. I must say I was a bit disappointed but I shook it off. I grabbed the amulet from the makeshift altar and put it in my pocket. I turned back to my friends and made my way over to them silently, unlocking their handcuffs one by one.

"Resa?" Zack asked

"I'm fine." I replied smiling.

"You've been shot, twice."

"I've had worse injuries."
