Booth immediately got up and turned his attention towards the doctor. He tried to ignore the fact that he had an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach.

This isn't going to be good news.

"How is she?"

The doctor put a hand on his arm and said:

"I think it would be better if we discuss this in my office."

The doctor turned around and started walking towards his office. Booth followed. He didn't know what to expect. The only thing he did know was that his bad feeling had been confirmed.

There is something very wrong with her.

The doctor opened the door to his office, walked in and gestured to Booth that he should sit down.

"Miss Brenn..."

"Doctor Brennan. She is a doctor."

Booth couldn't help but correct him, after all that's what she would've done.

"Doctor Brennan received extensive damage to the abdomen. Her spleen was ruptured. She lost a lot of blood. Her body needs to rest and heal itself."

The doctor lifted his gaze to Booth.

"We're keeping her in a drug induced coma, she is stable for now."

Booth audibly sighed.

"So everything is going to be okay? She's going to be alright?"

The doctor nodded.

"She still has a long way to go, but yes, she is going to be alright."

Booth felt relieved. He could finally breath again.

"When can I go see her?"

The expression on the doctors face changed.

"We will be keeping her in a coma for a few days. As long as she is in this coma, she will NOT receive ANY visitors."

"But, I... I have to see her. Now!"

Booth got up and started to walk away when the doctors voice stopped him.

"There is nothing more you can do here. She needs to rest. And so do you."

With that Booth left the doctors office.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Angela bolted up and ran towards the guest bedroom.

Parker was sitting up, crying and shivering.

Angela rushed over and engulfed him in a big hug.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's okay, sweetie. It's okay. The nightmare is over. You're safe."

Angela started rocking both of them back and forwards.

Hodgins just stood there in the door frame. He had come home a few hours ago. He had been working the entire day on the bullets that had killed the kidnapper and had put Dr. B in the hospital. He was worried.

Since I've been home, Angela and Parker haven't let go of each other except for the last twenty minutes when Parker was asleep. But now that he's had a nightmare, I doubt it if they'll ever let go of each other again.

Booth, where the hell are you, man?

Deciding that he couldn't wait any longer he picked up the phone to call Booth. But the damn thing started ringing the moment he picked it up.

"Dr. Jack Hodgins."

"Hi, it's Zack. Your assistants can't find anything on the bullets. I've tried to do it myself but I seem to be missing something. Can you come over and take a look."

Hodgins was about to tell Zach that there was no way that he was coming over to leave a frightened Parker and a hystericall Angela alone, but he changed his mind.

"I'm on my way, Zach."

The call disconnected and he called Booth.

"Booth."

He sounded exhausted and emotional.

Better make this quick.

"Booth, it's me, Hodgins. I'm needed at the lab, they're having trouble with the bullets. I can't leave Angela and Parker alone, so you're going to have to come over. I'm leaving right now, so I suggest you do the same. Bye Booth."

Booth was about to protest when Hodgins disconnected the call.

Booth was stunned. He didn't know what to do, what to think.

He got up and made his way out the hospital to his car. He got in and left.
