We all walked outside the temple and I led us towards the small village a few miles away. I had stopped and stitched up my wounds, donning a clean shirt and we were almost there. We hadn't really been chatting much, we were all tired and just wanted to get home. When we finally made it to the village I led the way through the familiar streets until we came to a small building. I knocked on the door and an older woman answered it quickly.
"Oh miss Resa, come in, come in." she said.
"Thanks Lupe."
Lupe had been expecting us as her brother Miguel had picked us up at the air strip in his helicopter and took us to the drop site. We walked in the small bar and took a seat around one of the tables. Lupe disappeared behind the bar and came back with a bottle of tequila and four glasses. she also handed me a satalite phone.
"Thank you." I said to her.
"No problem miss Resa." she said before leaving.
I opened up the satalite phone and dialed Jack's number. I knew it was early morning but he answered anyways.
"Hello." he said.
"Hey Jack it's me."
"Resa thank God Are you okay?"
"Yeah, we all are."
"And that Viggo guy?"
"Dead. We'll be back sometime later today."
"Alright."
I hung up and poured myself a drink, as did the others. We drank in silence for a while before I decided to call Miguel. Twenty minutes later we heard his jeep pulled up outside. I left some money on the bar and locked the door behind us, calling up to Lupe to let her know we were leaving. None of us spoke until we were back on the plane homebound.
"How are you feeling?" Booth asked from beside me.
"I'm fine."
"You keep saying that but are you really?"
"Yes." I said laughing. "My wounds are numb and Zack's alive and safe and now there's only one more thing to clear up."
"What's that?"
"Us. If there still is an us that is."
"You think I'm going to just let you go that easily?"
"So you forgive me, even after all the secrets I've kept?"
"Well as long as there aren't any more I suppose I could." he replied putting an arm around me.
"No, no more secrets, well there is one thing but it's not really a secret."
"What is it?"
"I love you." I said smiling, making him laugh.
"I love you too."
I fell asleep with my head on Booth's shoulder, truely happy for making it through all of this with my relationship still intact. I really did love him and I was glad that I had taken the chance with him. I didn't know what the future held for us but I knew that come what may we'd face it head on.
THE END!
