Booth's POV

"Bones? Park? Pumpkin?" Booth called cautiously as he entered the park off the highway, gun drawn.

"Glad you could join us, Booth," Pelant said with a smirk.

Spinning around, Booth saw him exiting a gazebo to his left, Bones and the kids nowhere in sight.

"Where are they?" Booth growled through gritted teeth, "What'd you do with them?"
"Oh, they're fine, Agent Booth, don't worry."

As if to confirm, Bones' voice call from within the small stone building at the other end of the field.

Making sure his gun was fully loaded, Booth took another step towards Pelant. It was then he realized Pelant was holding some sort of grenade. Puzzled, he halted momentarily before refocusing his aim on the other man's face.

"Oh, this?" Pelant asked, "This is just a little something I've been working on: you shoot me and the kickback makes it blows, killing all of us- your little family, back there, too."

"Isn't that counter productive? If we're all dead, nobody wins," Booth asked trying to play mind games with Pelant, a little trick he learned from Sweets.

"Well, agent Booth, it is quite clear that she doesn't want to be with me, but she definitely wants you, and you want her; if we're all dead, I obviously win because you don't have each other," Pelant explained, shifting his weight from one foot to another, a little agitated by Booth's question.

"No, Christopher, I don't think you win, because you won't get the satisfaction of seeing our family destroyed if you're dead," Booth said, praying that he could at least distract Pelant enough to make a move for the grenade.

A little shaken by this thought, Pelant hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "my own demise is worth the destruction of you all-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Brennan sprung on him from behind, having escaped the lamely tied knots that had her bound in the cabin. Grabbing the grenade, she ran across the seemingly infinite field towards Booth.

Enraged, Pelant pulled his gun from his back pocket and aimed it towards Brennan.

"Bones- Run!" Booth yelled, pushing her out of the way as she reached him, lifting his gun to Pelant.

Brennan's POV

The roar of a gunshot rang in Brennan's ears, but she was unable to determine whether it had been one gun going off or two. Carefully placing the grenade in a pile of leaves at the base of a tree, she spun around to catch Booth diving to the ground and Pelant already down.

Running to Pelant first, she could see from a distance the blood pooling underneath him. As she got closer, a perfectly round hole over his heart became apparent. To be sure, as Brennan always was, she quickly checked his pulse and concluded that he was dead.

"Oh, god, Booth. Thank you so much. I can't-"

Turning around, she saw Booth still on the ground.

Running towards him, she could see a similar pool of blood forming beneath him, a red wound piercing his ribcage.

Crashing beside him, she prayed silently that he would be okay.

Booth's POV

"Stay with me, Booth!"

"C'mon, Booth!"

He heard Brennan ethereally calling out to him, but not matter how hard he tried, he couldn't respond.

He felt her lithe fingers, laced together, pressing with the force of her entire, slender body into his chest as she kneeled beside him.

Blood continued to seep from the would, filling the cracks between her fingers and overflowing onto the grass.

Brennan continued to press down on his chest, futilely trying to stop the flow of his blood.

One nickname softly fell from his mouth.

"Bones," he whispered.

"C'mon, Booth!" She pleaded again, her voice this time not as strong, as she watched the life slowly escape from his eyes.

She released the pressure from his chest and sat back on her heels, watching blankly as a paramedic loaded him onto a gurney and into an ambulance.

Willing herself to move, she slowly stood and staggered towards the cabin to go get the children from their safe hiding spot.
