Okay you guys, I dont know if this one is that good or what so review please. I assume there must be something wrong with it because the chapter was easy for me to write compared to the others. So Review, and give ideas because I took someone up on one of their ideas in this chapter and I think the idea turned out great.
Booth eyed Carter with curiosity and then glanced quickly towards the suitcase Carter held at his side. Did Booth have to check and risk blowing the deal between him and Carter, by Carter quitting and walking out for Booth not trusting him, making Booth have a less chance of finding Bones? Or, did he go with the flow and risk it?
Booth took a deep breath and thought, Bones you better appreciate this… Booth nodded at Carter and held the door open for him to go first. Booth had both a good and bad feeling about this decision of not checking his suitcase.
Carter kept his same expression as he led the way out the door towards Booth's vehicle. Carter smiled to himself when Booth could not see his face. He had Booth under his thumb. He could use Booth…helping Booth along the way in finding his partner. But nonetheless use Booth to get revenge on Luke, the stupid bastard who ruined everything.
When Carter reached Booth's vehicle, he opened the door and silently slid in the passenger seat. He looked around and noticed a file sitting on the dashboard. Carter grabbed it and started flipping threw it, only to find that it was his own. Carter shook his head and grinned, He doesn't know when to stop obsessing over finding her, does he?
Booth was actually surprised by Carter's choice of seat in his car. Booth would have expected Carter to want to drive, so that he didn't take him to FBI headquarters or something. Booth walked around to the driver's side and dug through his pocket until he found his keys. He pulled them out and started twirling them around his finger.
Booth opened his door and slid in, not as silent as Carter. Booth glanced over at the murderer and stuck his keys in the ignition. Booth looked up through his windshield to see Angela, Cam and Hodgins at the door of the smaller building, staring at their FBI guy's departure.
Cam sighed as she locked eyes with Booth who was slightly frowning at her. She knew that right now he thought he felt as if he missed her dearly, but she knew it was just his mind, that he only wished to return with Brennan. She swallowed her spit and broke eye contact nodding slightly as her gaze landed on the ground. She felt Angela's eyes digging into her face.
Angela looked inquiringly at Cam, then shifted her eyes to Booth who was somewhat frowning at Cam in the car. Angela shifted her weight to one hip as she considered what was going on between them. Of course, as goddess of like, everything that has to do with relationships and fashion, she caught the drift immediately. Cam and Booth were in a relationship and Cam realized that she could never have Booth because he was always running off to save Brennan, and that Brennan and Booth were in love but are too blind to see it. Angela nodded to herself with a big grin on her face, obviously pleased with herself.
Hodgins just nodded at Booth, completely oblivious of what was going on beside him with Angela and Cam. Hodgins thought it was pretty freaky that Booth and a murderer that they had been trying to catch were now working together.
Booth noticed Cam's look and slowly let his eyes slip down to his steering wheel, feeling suddenly uncomfortable. Booth sighed and glanced over at Carter. Carter was staring at him impatiently. Booth nodded at him and glanced one more time back at the Squints before putting the vehicle in reverse and heading towards Lacer Street.
When Booth and Carter reached the FBI backup that Booth had sent for, their commander stared at Booth in disbelief as he drove the murderer out into the world without even having him cuffed. Booth just half smiled at him before looking over to Carter and risking, "Is there anything I should be on edge about in that suitcase?"
Carter almost completely broke into song like a cheery little kid, "Nope, just stuff I'll need if I'm gone for too long." Carter smiled a devious, almost evil smile.
Booth nodded silently, debating whether to believe him or not. A frustrated Booth was left to ponder that as he drove down Lacer Street, waiting for Carter to give instruction.
When they got there, Booth looked to Carter and Carter nodded back, and hr started pointing out where to go; saying that he only knew where Luke was stationed and wasn't positive that he took Brennan there.
Brennan sat there, staring at Luke who had just left the room. He reminded her of a toddler that got cranky when hungry. She actually laughed at that, which was pretty sad, meaning there had been nothing really funny since she had been kidnapped.
Luke had left, leaving Brennan there, alone, tied to her seat. Brennan was getting bored, and wanted out of the stupid chair. She fumbled with her fingers on the knot that Luke had tied. It actually came undone simply. Brennan raised her brow in confusion. She pulled the rope out from behind her and stood up just holding it before her, staring at it. What kind of murderer sucks at tying ropes?
Brennan eventually relaxed her face, shrugged and slowly made her way to the door Luke had exited. Brennan slowly twisted the door knob, bracing herself for Like to be sitting there as if it were some kind of trap or test. But when Brennan had the door open and was standing through it, Luke wasn't there.
Brennan was seriously starting to think that these people really sucked at being murderers. First, Carter turns out to be sympathetic and nice, and then Luke turns out to be mean and cruel (normal murderer behavior) but sucks at the rest of his job?
Brennan suddenly got the fearful thought that Luke was on his way back and she started to hurry. Brennan ran around the room that the cement door had lead to trying to find the door. Once she had finally found it, she twisted the handle and swung the door open, running into the street.
Brennan realized she was in the oncoming lane and ran back to the sidewalk that she had passed in her hurry. Her heart was beating rapidly and she felt like she was running out of time, before Luke would catch her.
Brennan noted where she was on the road signs (she was in Utah) and started running down the sidewalk, a left if she was standing right outside the door of the building she just came out of and facing forward.
Brennan had been running for five minutes, past stores and shoving past people, of which had turned to yell things like, "What the fuck was that all about?" and, "Hey, watch it!" at her as she shoved.
Brennan had passed a restaurant, which she was guessing was Chinese because she heard someone chasing her, shouting, "Get back here NOW!" and she had identified it as Luke's voice.
Brennan's heart skipped a beat as she held her breath and continued running, just daring to look back to see Luke climbing in his car and then slamming on the gas, now speeding through traffic and weaving.
Brennan pushed her to run faster, and rounded a corner on the sidewalk only to dig her feet into the ground at sight of a familiar vehicle that she recognized immediately.
Booth was looking around the streets. Cater had lead him to Utah and he had no clue of where they were going. That's when he saw her. Bones was running and she must have spotted him to because she had skidded to a stop on feet and was looking desperately in his way.
When Bones had completely made sure she had made eye contact she waved franticly to Booth and he slammed on the brakes. Booth gaped as his partner jumped out into the middle of oncoming traffic and raced over to his car, she yanked the backseat door open and jumped in and slammed it shut shouting, "Go Booth!" Bones was actually in tears.
Booth was about to protest and demand what was wrong with his partner, he also wanted to go comfort her, but after seeing the look on her face he slammed on the gas and ran the red light in front of him.
Brennan was actually hysterical now, which really wasn't like her, making Booth even more worried. She was turned around in her seat pointing behind them and actually jumping slightly up and down like a freaked out kid who just had their first nightmare and she was shouting at Booth, "Go Booth come on he's right behind us! He's coming to get me, Go Booth, or he'll get me and take me away from you again!"
Brennan didn't even know what she was saying, she looked at Booth and swung her head back around to Luke who had started speeding after them, and then looked back at Booth and then rested her gaze on Carter who was staring at Brennan with sadness.
Booth swerved around a car and that threw Brennan against one of the doors because she hadn't buckled up. He inhaled quickly, clearly afraid that he had just hurt his partner, and she just crawled back to her seat, buckled herself there, and cried, partly in relief that she was safe with Booth for the moment, and with actual terror of the man behind her. She didn't even get mad at herself for being so emotional this time.
One thing to say, to Squeegy, one of my readers and friends. You are the only goddess of like everything (including relationships and fashion) but in the story, that is Angela. You are the actual one and I dont want you to feel like I am replacing you with her, and I want everyone else to know that I stole your title and gave it to Angela. Okay, I no longer feel guilty. Luv you all and Please Review and give ideas!
