CHAPTER 10

Chapter 11 is extremely short, whatcha think? Want a dessert?

:: EVIL GRIN ::

When Booth finally was alone with HIS Bones in his arms, he gently gathered her closer and stood on shaky legs. He carried her carefully towards the mattress and slowly lowered her down to it. He took off his shirt and redressed her. When he was done, he draped the shredded remains over her, covering her the best he could. He molded his broad form around her and pulled her close. Still feeling the anxiety in his chest, he started to mutter reassuring words, more for his sake then hers.

"I won't let him hurt you... I just won't let him... There is nothing worse than that... I know you're strong and I know you don't want me to risk my life... or yours... but if he tries THAT I'll fight him with everything I have... Screw the consequences..."

Booth placed a gentle kiss on her forehead as he repeated his words over and over again in his head.

Screw the consequences.

Booth would never have been able to relax the way he did if he had known that Epps, Kenton and Dane watched everything through a hidden security camera.

"Right where we want them..." Kenton said.

Epps nodded his head and repeated Kenton's words. "Right where we want them..."

Dane looked at Epps, to Kenton, back to Epps. "Where the hell would that be EXACTLY?" Dane had killed people himself... But the Agent had been right... I'm nothing like Epps or even Kenton.

Epps turned to look Dane in the eye, sizing him up by the look of it. Off course he's not up to it. Epps thought as he began to speak, taking a step towards Dane. "Don't you worry about it. As I told you in prison, you are here for muscle. Just do what you're told and I'll see about getting you out of the country afterwards." He glared at Dane. I wonder if I'm going to have to kill this one sooner than expected.

Kenton gave Dane a glare and said: "Go get them something to eat... OH!" Kenton had a smirk on his face, as he added: "Make her take of the shirt."

Both men looked up at Epps' sharp reply.

"Kenton! Keep your libido in check, we have plenty of time for that later!" His voice harsh and cynical. "Besides, what fun will it be to rip a shirt off of an unconscious woman? At least wait until she wakes up, then she can endure the torment as well."

Kenton looked as if he was about to explode.

Dane quickly left the room.

"Damn it Epps! YOU need Booth to get what you want! Not her! You told me I could have her!"

Epps swiftly crossed the room and got into Kenton's face, staring into his eyes. Kenton may have been bigger and more muscular than Epps, but Epps had an ability to intimidate with a mere glance, so his full on stare was enough to get Kenton to back down slightly. "I know what I said Kenton." He spoke through gritted teeth. "I also said that when the time was right you could have her. That time is not now!"

"When will it be, huh? AFTER you get Booth to break into the Hoover and steal the evidence?!? I've told you before Epps! That is not a simple walk in the park! You should've allowed ME to do it! People will die! Booth won't do it and we both know it!"

Epps gritted his teeth and said: "He will after I'm done with him..."

"Great! Then let me have her!" Kenton exclaimed.

Epps growled angrily. "Kenton, how do you think I am going to convince Booth to cooperate if you have already defiled his partner?" His stony glare penetrating Kenton's eyes. "As soon as he returns here with the evidence she is all yours to do with as you please. But if you take her before I have that evidence he will refuse. Torment her all you like, but DO NOT DEFILE HER!"

Kenton looked back at him and said: "I won't touch her until I get your fucking okay! But can I at least see her naked?"

Epps finally cut his glare away from Kenton as he backed up and closed his eyes. "Yes, as I said you can do whatever you want, short of the deed. I just thought you would enjoy her reaction when you stripped her of her dignity, since she was drugged the first time and you barely received any response." Epps then sat back down and gazed into the monitor at his captives.

Kenton was dumbstrucked. Not ready to let it go, he turned to Epps and said. "In that case I'll go wake her up."

Epps turned to him, brandishing a syringe, obviously just as ready for the torment to begin anew. "You'll need this." Epps waved the syringe of adrenaline. "Otherwise you won't be able to wake her for a few more hours." His evil grin spread wide across his face.

Booth looked down at Brennan still cradled in his arms, his fingers brushing gently through her hair. She still hasn't woken up. He would be more worried but he could see that she was breathing regularly and her pulse was still strong. He tried to calm his nerves with those thoughts as she continued in her slumber, unaware of anything going on around her. He took solace in the fact that at least when she finally did awaken, her strength should be back up, as she had rested and could recuperate.

"She sure is hot, isn't she, Booth..."

Booth looked up to see Kenton hovering in the doorway and growled at him, figuring no real reply was needed. He then turned his gaze back to his sleeping partner for only a brief moment before eyeing Kenton, following his every move.

Kenton walked closer to the mattress and sat on it, next to her, on the opposite side of Booth. As he lifted his hand in the air to touch her, Booth yanked her quickly away, pulling her firmly into his grasp, "Keep your sick hands away from her!" Pulling her as close to his own body as he could while glaring.

"Tsk Tsk Booth! She is mine... don't you see that? I don't care what you think... I don't care how you feel. I want her and I will have her." He stretched his hand out again.

Booth growled and looked as though he would almost bite Kenton as the fury in his eyes grew. "She is not YOURS, she is not ANYONES. And you…" He growled again. "You will NOT have her. I'll kill you first." His intense stare letting Kenton know that if he could, he would kill him now, at the very suggestion of him having her.

Not feeling safe, sitting so close to Booth anymore, he got up and started to pace. "It's not like you'll get the chance to put your money where your mouth is Booth. And I WILL have her... I will TAKE her and when I'm done with her, she won't know up from down."

The smug look on Booths face from having intimidated Kenton enough to get him away from her, disappeared as Kenton's words sunk in. Will I even get the opportunity to kill him before he has a chance to.... He shook his head not wanting to think about that and just sent a glare back at Kenton. "Oh be sure of the fact that I'll kill you." His insides fuming as the reality set in that he may never actually get the chance.

"Be sure of the fact that I'll fuck her." Kenton threw back.

"No!!" Booth threw back at him, relinquishing his hold on Brennan, so she lay on the mattress as he stood and approached Kenton. No longer able to hold her as he thought his grip might begin to hurt, because he was so angry.

As Booth approached Kenton, he flashed the syringe at him. "Go stand in the corner, Booth. That way I'm sure you won't try anything and I can wake her up. After all... Where would be the fun in fucking her if I can't make her scream... I'm not sure whether I want her to scream out in pleasure or pain yet ..." His grin widened. "Well I suppose I could do both..."

It took all Booth had in him not to lash out at Kenton. But seeing the syringe had made him believe that he had to do what he was told to do or she may never wake up. His glare never left Kenton as he stepped away from them, hoping that once she was injected, he could get to her before Kenton had time to touch her or do anything else for that matter.

Epps chose that moment to enter the room. "Kenton!" His voice was sharp. "Give me that. I need to have a moment with agent Booth… privately." His smug grin shining now in Booth's direction, hand held out for the syringe.

His eyes then snapped to Kenton's whose disappointment was evident. "Now Kenton!" Epps ordered. "We'll see about you having your fun in a bit." Hand still out and open awaiting the syringe.

As Kenton handed the syringe back to Epps, he kept his eyes on Booth. "I will be back for her Booth. You won't be able to stop me when I do." He pushed the syringe in Epps' outstretched hand and left the room.

"Now, Agent Booth, I have a proposition for you." His grin stretching grotesquely across his face as he eyed the unconscious doctor for a moment before planting his eyes firmly on Booth. "One I'm sure you will accept." His menacing chuckle engulfing the now silent room.

"I will die before I let Kenton touch her, Epps. I won't make a deal with you about Kenton raping my partner." Epps was getting on his last nerve. 'I will not let them hurt her.'

"No, no, agent Booth, that's not quite the deal I was proposing." Another chuckle escaping his lips. "I was attempting to offer you a way of preventing Kenton from taking out all his lustful fantasies on the good doctor, but if you aren't interested…" He turned to leave, knowing full well Booth would stop him.

"Start talking." 'If there is even a slight chance I can save her from that or a chance to get her out of here, I'm taking it!'
