Okay I am sorry I am starting to slack with getting chapters out but I have been struggling with this one trying to make it right. So please Review because I have a feeling this chapter might not be as great as the others and I want to know what you have to think. Enjoy!

Hurry up Booth, Brennan pleaded as she glared at Luke, who was resting his hand on her shoulder. He started to rub her shoulder a little, just to mess with her. Brennan glanced down at her shoulder again and then back at Luke. He was teasing her and she couldn't even do anything about it…or could she?

Brennan almost smiled with delight as she snapped her head sideways at her shoulder and clamped her teeth on Luke's hand. She felt his hand's skin almost scream in protest to her hard clench on it. Brennan felt a relief of satisfaction flow throughout her body at the fact that she just bit the man that was holding her hostage. Sudden realization that she might be able to handle the situation until Booth got there made her feel a lot better.

Luke finally struck Brennan across the face with his free hand and Brennan immediately released his hand from her jaw. She didn't mind that she had been struck. One, because it didn't really hurt, which said that Luke wasn't very good at abuse; secondly, because she still had the pleasure of catching him off guard.

Luke spat to his right and held his hand tightly with his non-hurt one. He glared at Brennan, no longer trying to seduce her with his mind. He hated this stupid assignment, he wished he could just take out a gun and shoots her head off now and gets it over with. Why they had to wait and then pass Dr. Brennan off to one another was beyond his knowledge, and he wished that he could know so he wouldn't do anything stupid trying to get out of it quicker.

Luke raised his eyebrows at Brennan and inquired, "Dr. Brennan, did you just bite me, like a little kid?" Luke shook his head once as if he just grasped the concept that she bit him and couldn't believe it.

Brennan half smiled but quickly made it disappear and shrugged, "You could call it that, but scientifically you should say"-

"Nonetheless, did you just bite me?" Luke interrupted, aggravated and clearly impatient.

Brennan let the smile spread across her face, she could no longer resist the joy of the fact that she was pissing him off. Her smile disappeared and she acted as if she were considering his question with great thought. "You could say that I guess." She was actually enjoying (for what you could call enjoying in her situation) her time toying with Luke. It was quite amusing on her part.


Booth could not believe that he just walked into his own trap by Carter pushing him. He knew what was going to happen next.

Carter raised an eyebrow at Booth, waiting for him to continue. This was going exactly the way he had planned, better even. Booth was going to have to do whatever he told him to if he wanted to find his girl.

Booth had little time to think without Carter realizing that he knew he was caught in his own trap. Booth had planned on making it so he could get what he needed out of Carter and then lock him up while he went to find Bones, but now he was going to end up taking Carter with him and doing whatever Carter said.

"Bones grew fond of you…not in that kind of perverted way, but she grew fond of you and admired your sense of just…the way you treated her even after you were given specific orders. So I'm not going to kill you, yet at least. If you play nice and do what I say, we will find Bones together and then…well let's just wait until we get that far." Booth finished, knowing that he possibly just blew his plan because of the fact that he was about to suggest locking Carter up.

Carter shook his head slightly proud that he was acting as if he were listening attentively. He half grinned at Booth before raising an eyebrow speaking his thoughts, "Just because I had sympathy for your good doctor does not mean I'm some kind of dimwit." He shook his head more visibly now, "No, not at all. We will do this my way! You will go tell your science rats out in the other building that you are leaving with me or whatever and not to follow, then you and me will go find Dr. Brennan. Understood?"

Booth's expression didn't change but he cursed himself in his mind for blowing his chance at doing this his way. He actually felt slightly fearful that now he would never find his partner again. Booth shook the thought away immediately not letting himself believe it.

Booth inhaled deeply and exhaled his quiet response, "Fine." Booth turned to stroll away but stopped in his tracks. He turned around again and faced Carter, "How do I know you won't leave while I'm telling them?"

Carter half smiled at Booth, he shrugged and simply said, "I guess you don't, but you have my word…if that counts for anything."

Booth really didn't have a choice if he wanted Bones back. He nodded slightly and gulped without a sound, and turned and stormed out of the building. He cursed himself over and over again in his mind on his way to the smaller building out back.


Luke was about to protest about Dr. Brennan's behavior and threaten her but him simply opened his mouth, shut it quickly and ambled out of the room. He slammed the thick, gray, cement door and slammed his fist against it angrily, only to find that he had injured his hand. He hated being toyed with by people, a woman, nonetheless.

Luke growled to himself and glared into the door as if he had laser vision and could burn right through and kill Dr. Brennan now and get it over with. He started to consider it, though he forcefully forced the thought away, for he had no choice but to keep her alive.

Brennan sat there, staring at the door that Luke had exited the room through, she almost felt sorry for him, just because he, like Carter, was being forced to keep her here and not kill her. Though, Brennan had to dismiss those thoughts immediately or else she might pay for it emotionally later if Booth has to…shoot him.

Brennan stared down at her lap feeling sudden depression settle over her. She desperately wanted her sniper-trained-army-man back to joke with her and to be there, protecting her. Though she gained a sense of pride for he knew he wasn't giving up and that he was searching for her.

Brennan was suddenly confused, and it wouldn't go away, even when Luke reentered the room. She didn't understand why she was suddenly having all these strange emotions towards anybody and anything. She felt sorry for Carter and Luke…hell she even thought Carter was a nice guy. Normally she hated murderers but she…she felt as if she never got both sides of the story before. And Booth, Brennan missed Booth, but even when trapped underground she didn't miss him this much…and Angela was desperately missed too.

Brennan furrowed her brow in confusion and tried to make sense of it all. It didn't work... So many emotions had overcome her, and it wasn't normal for her. Her eyes were actually threatening for tears to spill over.

Luke had brought a chair back in with him and he sat in it across from Brennan just staring at her. After what was almost two hours, Luke spoke up, his arms folded neatly across his chest, "You hungry?"

Brennan slowly looked up from her lap at him, her eyes bloodshot. Her voice cracked from not speaking in so long when she responded, "Yes."

Luke nodded slowly still sitting in his chair. He got up and walked towards the cement door and inquired, "You like Chinese food?"

When Brennan didn't answer he turned around to see her nodding her head slowly, looking at him with desperation. Luke chuckled and strolled out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Brennan looked back down at her lap slowly loosing hope while thinking, Come on Booth, I'm desperate………


Angela nearly screamed until her lungs ran out of air when Booth walked through the door freaking her out. Hodgins, Cam and her had been examining the torn piece of jacket covered in sawdust, the smashed phone and the blood near the entrance of the building (from Brennan's wrist) when Booth snuck up on them, not purposely of course.

Angela put her hands over her heart and finally stopped screaming when her mind had fully grasped that it was Booth and not some crazed murderer that kidnapped her best friend. Angela glanced over at Hodgins, she didn't want this happening, and she wanted Brennan back and things to go back to normal. But the only problem was that things weren't going back soon and she knew it.

Booth blinked as he stared at Angela who looked as if she had just saw a ghost, before stating, "I have to go…with Carter. We made a deal and nobody can follow us. If anyone follows us Bones is dead. Got it Squints? I'll come back with Bones," Booth slowly glided his eyes over Angela, then Hodgins and rested them on Cam.

He looked at her with no emotion, for he had felt nothing for her since Bones had ever-so politely interrupted them. Bones had been right when she said that Booth was going against his own words stating, "When people in high risks situations are together things like this happen."

Cam met Booth's eyes, of which she had felt resting upon her. Cheerless emotion made the knot in her stomach worse, for she knew she had lost him already, that Angela had been right from the start when she guessed that he loved Brennan. Booth just didn't know it yet and she doubted he would for awhile, if at all. Cam knew that Booth would do anything to find his partner and that there was no stopping him in this deal so she didn't protest like she wanted to do so badly…too bad Angela did.

"What!? No you aren't going alone Booth, we're coming with you. You're not in this alone." Angela put her hand on her hip and had spoken with a matter-of-factly tone.

Booth pointed a finger at Angela and stated flatly, "You know what? You can't come with me. Bones will die if you do and I can't be looking after you the whole time I'm bonding with a murderer. So you are going to collect what you found here, call me if you find anything that will help me find Bones, and go back to the lab with Zach and wait for me to return with Bones."

With that Booth slowly let hid finger fall to his side as he turned around and slightly aggressively stormed out of the room.

Booth walked through the door of the building that should contain Carter. He looked around but Carter was standing in the middle of the room, a suitcase in one hand and a coat slung over his shoulder.

Carter slightly smiled and sauntered past Booth saying, "Let's go."
