I would like to dedicate this chapter to bb-4ever and katiebeth who have reviewed almost every chapter for me. Much love, guys :) Thanks to all the other reviewers too. You guys are all so wonderful! Anyway, here's your next chapter.

"Zach!"

Zach turned back towards them at the sound of Booth's voice. He winced slightly at the lost chance of being a hero. "Sorry, I thought… thought I saw something," he said slowly.

"Either way, it's stupid to leave when you know a killer is here with us. What did you see?" he asked walking over to the door to glance out. Zach looked out with him.

"It looked like a man, Caucasian, probably about 6'1. I assumed it was the killer…and…," he paused here, "and wanted to try and follow him." Zach wanted to be accepted so badly, and if he thought risking his life was the way to do it, he would. But this was only part of the secret that plagued him.

"You do realize it was probably a trap, right?" Booth asked, irritated. Zach was supposed to be smart.

"Of course," he said. "I just wanted to see which way he headed," he tried to cover up.

"Watch your back. He probably would have gotten you. There are only three of us left and we're the only hope that Jack and Angela have."

"And Parker," Zach added without thinking. Booth winced at the thought of his little boy captured by a murderer. "And we don't even know if they're still alive."

"I'm assuming they're not dead instead of dreading that they are."

"What should we do?" Zach asked turning to Booth. Booth had his head in his hands and was dragging them down his face.

"I have no idea."

"Dr. Brennan, any ideas?" Zach asked, looking back into the hallway. "Dr. Brennan?"

Suddenly Booth realized he hadn't heard Brennan's shoes click-clack behind him when he went to stand next to Zach. She hadn't spoken at all through their short conversation. She hadn't told him how rational he was for not dreading something that hadn't happened yet. She hadn't inquired about how there was no evidence that implied Parker was definitely with the killer other then his name on the floor. She hadn't stood up for Zach when Booth asked him if he realized it was a trap. She was silent. Brennan was never silent. It just wasn't her. His throat dried up and his heart beat ten times faster. His mind raced and he froze in place. He began to shake. "No," he said, without even turning around to confirm that she was gone. He punched the wall harder then any of the last times. When he pulled his hand back out his knuckles were bleeding and the hole was at least a foot through the wall. Plaster dust fell to the floor. Zach was shaking too.

"N-now what?" Zach asked quietly.

"Now we find the fake wall in this room," Booth said as he walked to the opposite side of the room and began knocking on places in the wall. He didn't mean to but he constantly left dents in the wall. He turned back to tell Zach to work on the other wall. No one. Booth turned back to the wall and quickly punched another hole in it. It went all the way through the wall. The passage he was looking for. He was so angry he hadn't noticed either blood message. One said 'Your love is gone.' It wasn't referring to love in general. It specifically meant two people. The other said 'You are next.' He pulled away the fake wall and peered down the hallway. He took a few steps in as he walked into a maze.

'I didn't plan on taking Dr. Brennan first but it turned out to be the right way to go,' Webber thought as he watched Booth venture down the hallway from the outside of the doctor's office. 'Booth. So angry. Just as I had hoped. It will be his demise.'

Brennan's hands and feet were bound. Her eyes were covered with a bandana and her mouth was stuffed with a gag. Webber had knocked her out. It made it easier. He knew she would struggle the most. He opened the door and threw her body in. It hit the ground with a thud. It laid there motionless. Her chest barely rose and fell. He had made sure she would live though. He needed her just about the most. Booth was only slightly more important to his plan. Zach did not have his eyes covered like Brennan. Otherwise he was bound in the same way when Webber pushed him to the ground in the room as well. After the door was closed again and Jack, Angela, and Parker saw who had been pushed in, they froze. Zach groaned through his gag and pushed himself towards the three against the wall. He joined there small group. Brennan didn't move. She didn't try to come closer. She didn't attempt to fight when the man threw her in. Literally threw her in. Parker had more tears in his eyes now as he weakly asked in a small voice, "Dr. Bones?" He wouldn't receive an answer.

There ya go :) As always, reviews are GREATLY appreciated.
