WARNING: Spoilers for Season 6
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones or any of the characters. They are all owned by Fox and Hart Hanson.
Instead of going home Booth went to the Founding Fathers. He was tired from lack of sleep the previous night but he was agitated about the case. His gut was telling him that Bones was in danger. As he downed the last of his beer he made a decision. He would go check on her before going home, just to reassure himself that she had made it home safely. As he walked to his SUV he scanned the streets. He had felt like someone was watching him the past few days but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He climbed in his SUV and drove in the direction of his partner's apartment.
He had slid down in his seat when he saw Booth emerge from the bar. When he saw him head in the opposite direction from home he knew where he was going. He waited a few minutes before he pulled from the curb so as not to be seen from the black SUV that he was following.
As Booth pulled into the parking lot of Brennan's apartment complex he saw her car parked in its usual spot. When he looked at her window he saw that the lights were off. Deciding he wasn't going to risk waking her he put the SUV in gear and headed home.
When Booth arrived at the apartment Hannah was seated on the couch. She looked up as she heard him enter the living room.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey yourself. It's late, where have you been?" she asked trying to keep the accusation from her voice.
"After I left the Jeffersonian I went to grab a drink at Founding Fathers."
"Really, did Temperance go with you?"
"No, it was just me. Bones went home and I went to get a drink. Alone." He said with slight irritation in his voice.
"Oh well, I'm going to bed. Are you going to join me?"
"Not right now" Booth said has he grabbed the bottle of scotch from the wet bar and sat on the couch.
Hannah's brow furrowed as she watch him take a long drink from the bottle. "Seeley, do you want to talk about whatever it is that has you so troubled?"
"No Hannah, I'm fine, just go to bed." He said as he laid his head on the back of the couch and closed his eyes.
Hannah sighed and turned toward the bedroom.
