V for Vendetta
Chapter 10
Stick together
Brennan and Booth were heading to the emergency broadcast room and Brennan was curious as to how Booth was going to get V out of there.
"Booth"
"What Bones"
"I was just wondering do you have plan?" Brennan asked
"A plan" Booth said
"Yes a plan because I think now would be a good time to tell me."
Booth stopped only a couple of steps away from the broadcast room then Booth turned to her, "Ok fine listen, the emergency broadcast room has one emergency exit that is round to your left. now I want you to go around back, maybe V will exit there unless the guy is suicidal and he heads out the front, but anyway I will stay in front to try to distract Commander Lenor as much as I can and you get V and get him to express his message in a more civilized manner ok?"
"Ok but Booth I want to stay with you, it's better if we stick together, don't you think?"
Booth sighed, "Of course Bones, but in this case that just can't happen."
"Why not?"
Booth wanted to tell Brennan about Cullen and Lenor though it could ruin their relationship/partnership but he didn't want her to worry, "Because we just can't, now go."
Booth was about to head in when Brennan pulled him back towards her as she said, "Wait Booth there is something I need to tell you."
"Can it wait?" Booth asked
"No it can't it's about me and V"
"Ok what about you and V."
"Well, last night I was trying to get to your place but I was caught by karma police, they tried to hurt me but, of course I fought back with some martial arts but I was out numbered, therefore I was unsuccessful but then V saved me then he asked if could accompany him to performance he was giving but I soon realized there was no performance but that he was blowing up the Washington monument, Booth I am so sorry."
Booth was in shock as said, "So you are the accomplice?"
"Technically, yes, but I had no idea what was going on until it was too late. I am sorry this is all my fault." Brennan said as she started to cry
"Bones, Don't cry, you have nothing to be sorry about, but I do wish that you would have told me earlier. Why didn't you?" Booth asked
"I was afraid, that you might think I was some kind terrorist."
"Temperance, listen to me, you are NOT a terrorist, I will never, ever think of you as such, I love you Temperance, and nothing is going to change that, Do you understand."
"Yes, l love you too, be careful." Brennan said
"I will, you too" Booth began to leave again until Brennan yelled, "Wait"
"What"
"One more thing, I forgot to do." Brennan said pulling Booth into a kiss. "ok I'm done,'
"O-kay"
Then Brennan and Booth parted ways.
Booth made his way the emergency broadcast room which was full smoke from the explosion he couldn't see thing, So he called, out
"Commander Lenor."
"Director Booth, stay where you are."
"Yes sir."
Then Booth saw Commander come out of the smoke.
"Where have you been Booth,"
"Out looking for my partner sir."
"Ah yes any luck?" Commander Lenor Asked
"No sir" Booth lied,
Lenor said, "too bad now follow me have a situation."
"About the terrorist?" Booth replied,
"No" as he led Booth to the control room he pointed to a bomb that had five minutes left on the clock, "you need to defuse this bomb. While me and swat you look for your lady scientist and V, Do I make myself clear Booth."
"Yes,"
"Good, I called for the bomb squad to assist you." Lenor said while leaving then Booth yelled
"Commander Lenor Sir."
"Please don't hurt her." Booth asked.
Lenor didn't say anything as he wasn't promising Booth anything, he knew, if Dr. Brennan was with V he'd surly have no choice but to hurt her.
V was trying to get out the Building as fast as he could. He tried to use the elevator but it didn't work, so he decided to use the stairs then just as he was about to head to the emergency exit he heard someone yell,
"Freeze Terrorist!"
V turned to see another old enemy, Commander Lenor point a gun to V's head then V said, "Hey hello, Lt. Lenor."
"It Commander Lenor now,"
"Oh my apologies, Commander Lenor, you don't remember me do you."
"No I don't, and if I did I wouldn't forget a disgrace like you, now surrender or I will shot."
"That's too bad I would have liked to see you try. But I have to get going."
V turned around as he pulled the trigger. Brennan heard a bang. Coming down she was hoping that she wasn't too late. Booth got a little bit distracted when he heard the gunshot but he could not lose focus as he had only two minutes left until the bomb went off. Brennan was making her way to the hallway where she heard the shot. She was happy that V was still alive but Lenor was still pointing the gun at V she had to stop Lenor from killing him but how. As V turned he saw the bullet on the wall.
"You missed"
"Next time I won't, now get on your knees and surrender." Lenor yelled
V got down on his knees, he looked to see that Dr. Brennan was coming up Behind Lenor then said, "Alright Commander you win but let me ask you something."
"What" Lenor asked.
"Have you ever killed a ghost?"
Lenor was confused as to what he was asking, he knew of course that you couldn't kill a ghost, then he felt a tap on his shoulder and he saw Dr. Brennan put out her fist and punch him in the face not but not hard enough to knock him down, He'd had enough of this woman so he hit her back knocking her to the floor and rendering her unconscious. V was getting back up when he made his attack. Booth did not know what to do as the thirty seconds to disarm the bomb ticked down. When he came to the wires Booth had cut the blue wire and he was relieved when at 10 seconds to go he stopped the bomb. He then went out of the control room to see what the commotion was. V made his attack at the Commander by making him trip by kicking him at his feet. He hit his head knocking him unconscious. V saw Dr. Brennan lying unconscious he checked on her, she was bleeding from the looks of it she needed medical attention so gently V picked her up from the ground and Booth turned towards them to see V with an unconscious Brennan. He pulled out his gun and held it to V.
"Hold it right there,"
V turned around, to face him, "You must be Agent Booth,"
"How do you know me? let Dr. Brennan go." Booth demanded
"I am sorry Agent Booth but I can't do that Dr. Brennan needs medical attention and you and I both know she is not safe here, so please agent booth if you want to see Temperance again, you have to let me go."
Booth didn't know what to do, his hand shook slightly as he held the gun, he blinked slowly and he lowered his gun, "Don't worry, she will be fine, I will take good care of her." Then V left and Booth stood there motionless wondering if he'd done the right thing, hoping to God that Brennan would be alright, and that he would get to see her again.
