Hey only one or two more chapters until I can't post for about a week because I'm going to Washington DC and New York.
I wish I was cold as stone,
Then I wouldn't feel a thing.
I wish I didn't have this heart,
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain.
I could stand strong and still,
Watching you walk away.
I wouldn't hurt like this,
Or feel so all alone.
I wish I was cold as stone.
Cam is in and out of consciousness all the way to the hospital despite the EMT's and Sweets' best effort
When she finally wakes for long enough to really look around she's looking up into a light being waved into her eye moving around in all different directions
In addition to the light she heard a disembodied, voice, though it sounds almost like it's underwater "…Saroyan…hear…follow… with... eyes…"
'What the hell was the voice talking about'
When the light is removed from her eye as she blinks a few times before finally being able to see, she looks up at who was shining the light in her eyes and sees a pair of hazel eyes and slowly as the black spots recede she sees the
Dr. Saroyan? Can you look at me? I'm Dr. Hayes. Do you know what happened to you? A blond haired woman in a white lab coat says
Cam nods her throat soar from the gas but still attempts, through the coughs and voice breaks, but still tries to tell Dr. Hayes what she remembered happening before she passed out, leaving out of course the conversation with her dead friend, she was hoping to get out of here quickly not receive a one way ticket to the psychiatric floor. She knew what she was saying was correct from the few nods of approval from Dr. Hayes every little bit
"Well," Dr. Hayes begins "looks like you'll be fine but, I'd like to keep you overnight for observation and, barring any complications, release you tomorrow morning." Cam nods "But now you have some people who would like to see you."
"What about visiting hours?" Cam says in a raspy, dry voice "I know it is well after them."
"Let's just say that, among other things, your friends are very persuasive."
"Among other things?" Cam parrots her voice hoarse, giving her a 'I don't totally believe you' look
Dr. Hayes gives her a knowing smile "Have a goodnight, Dr. Saroyan." She says giving Cam a little morphine and, writes something on her chart before, leaving the room
Nicole Hayes hides a smile when thinking, 'Temper, I see why you were friends with them, they are interesting and smart and, from the looks of it, loyal, just like you always said.'
She goes into the waiting room where for the Squint Squad "she's conscious and lucid now; you can go in, just make sure she keeps the oxygen mask on as much as possible." Nikki says before leaving for the night
When she gets to the garage were her car is parked, when she's about halfway to her car she hears the squeal of car tires followed by the mystery van's doors slamming open, she then feels something' a rag or a t-shirt, being pushed over her face, making her eyes burn. Spots of black and grey swim over her vision before the blackness consumes her and she feels her body start to fall to the ground.

When the group arrives, Cam looks up at them attempting to force herself up on her arms before they fall out from under her so she quickly pushes the button on the side of her bed to help her sit up. "Hey…" she says her voice jumping up and down before it settles on hoarse
"Hey," Hodgins says quietly
"Sweets, from what I hear, I owe you…" there is an awkward pause, this conversation has been filled with them
"You would've done the same." He says not quiet meeting her eyes
"Booth?"
"We couldn't get ahold of him when we called."
"What happened?" Cam asks
Hodgins, knowing from past experiences with his boss she wasn't asking how but what and who "Phosgene accompanied by the exhaust that was rerouted through your car was enough for you to pass out… you were lucky Sweets was there when he was two more minutes…We belive it's the same person who killed Brennan and Casey."
"Why do you think that?"
"Besides the obvious? They left a message, same hand writing in Spanish, translated to (keep going and I won't keep firing warning shots."
"Hell of a warning shot…"Cam says in a voice just above a whisper
Ring
Ring
Ring
"Hello?" Angela answers
"Uno màs?" the voice asks on the other end before she hears the phone get set down but left on
"Uh guys… I think we may have our next victim. She says looking at her phone in her outstretched palm before a message is received by Hodgins phone
"I know we do." He says flipping the phone towards the others showing the picture. It's Thomas Scott his eyes wide open and glazed over his skin, pale with a trail of crimson blood standing out vividly from what looked to be a bloody nose. It was obvious to the team that he was dead.
"How'd he even get your guys' numbers?" Sweets questions
"Brennan's phone." Cam says remembering one of the many things she though was odd before and during the autopsy before coughing.
The others turned toward her "what do you mean?" Angela asks handing her some water
"It wasn't in her pockets or car… it wasn't at the scene at all… the witness said the person driving the other car ran up to her car, searched for something then left within two minutes of the wreck…"
"And the phone and perhaps something else is what you think they grabbed." Hodgins finishes Cam nods.
Angela's face breaks out into a look that says she had a way for us to possibly find the killer. "Let's try it." She announces looking at Cam "I have a program on the Angelatron that should give us what cell phones were in the area at the time of the crash and the tow body drops… and we should be able to find Thomas."
"Go." Cam says with a smirk "Catch this bastard." Angela nods before leaving with Hodgins trailing behind her.
When they have left "Sweets, what's wrong?" Cam asks looking at the youngest member of their team who has been quietly lingering by the door the shrink was rarely quiet for any length of time.
Sweets head bolts up and he quickly states "Nothing, why do you think something's wrong?"
"Sweets…" she says warningly
The shrink holds out for a few milliseconds until he gives up and half screams "You were dead! You weren't breathing! And I couldn't do anything. So within these last three and a half days, you almost died, Brennan did die and anyone even remotely related to this case is kidnapped by a person that loves to mess with all of us. Aren't any of you even flustered?" he finishes panting
"Sweets, none of us, none of us, are ok. We are just…waiting… for the blows to stop before we stop to mourn or even feel the pain." Cam explains before she yawns
"You need to sleep." Sweets says sitting in the chair right by the small bed
Cam gives him a look "don't you need to leave for the night?"
"Do you want me to?" Sweets questions back
"I don't want to keep you here for no reason…"
"You're in the hospital, your daughter's out of town and, you're my friend, that's not no reason. And where else would I be anyway?
"Shouldn't you be at home with Daisy?"
"Nah, she's with her parents for the week."
Cam opens her mouth to argue more but closes it, too tired to fight sleep because of the pain killers, let alone the shrink setting up vigil at her bed side. Here eyelids feel like lead as she slowly allows them to slip closed

Angela's POV
I was almost running into the Jeffersonian slamming on the Anglatron and pulling up the program before Hodgins is in my office
"Call Booth." I tell him not looking up from the screen
"He hasn't answered. At all tonight." He responds but is still dialing
"Then try Perotta. And Hacker, tell him we have another body."
"Ok… the number that called my phone and sent the picture to yours is near a gym off K Street and Brennan's phone is at a ware house in Alexandra." I read off the screen I hear Hodgins echoing it to whoever he got on the phone
When he hangs up I ask him "Who'd you get?"
"Perotta." He simply answers before he gives me a weary smile and, with hollow eyes he tells me "I think we got the son-of-a-bitch."

Sweet's POV
I had been sitting with Cam for about twenty minutes when my phone rang
Ring
Rin-
I answer it quickly so as not to get yelled at by a nurse or wake up Cam
"Hello." I whisper
A oddly chirpy voice announces "Hi, Dr. Sweets, I know it's late but, um, this is Kim Scott, Thomas' wife, He left your number by the phone before he left yesterday but, anyway I was looking through some files Temperance left Tom about two months ago, after she came back from Maluku and I found a few I think you may want." She says quickly
"Um… ok I'm going to be up in that area tomorrow. Could I possibly pick it up at around tenish tomorrow?" I say remembering I need to tell her that her husband is not just missing but dead.
-The next day still Sweet's POV-
It's 10:14 when I pull up to the mint colored house in a suburb of Arlington I slowly walk up to the door
Knock
Knock
Knoc-
The door flings open to a young woman with short brown hair. "O, you're the doctor mom said would be stopping by." She says her voice was taut and her forest green eyes rimmed with red reaching back to the table in the room where she grabbed three manila files the top one I look in to see six smaller letter envelopes another is sealed shut and the final one looks to be case files.
"Um, thank you…"
"Katie." She says reaching her hand out to shake mine.
"Dr. Lance Sweets." I tell her taking it
"Well you probably want to talk to my mom, I'll go get her." She says then turns and races up the stairs
A woman that looks a lot like her but with brown eyes comes down about two minutes later
"Hell Dr. Sweets, I'm Kim Scott thank you for coming by to get those."
"Well Mrs. Scott, I'm afraid I have some rather bad news."
"What is it?" she asks a worried look crosses her face
"Well…"
