I decided since this was so short and disappointing I would go ahead and post it since I can't watch the second season 7 episode yet. Reviews would make me really happy and being the next chapters!

I don't own Bones :(


The Daughter in Distress: Part 7

"So," Sarah said, slyly leaning against Patience's desk. "What are your plans with Aaron tonight?"

"You know I won't kiss and tell," Patience replied, quickly touching up her makeup.

"I was hoping for something a bit juicier than kissing," Sarah hinted.

Patience rolled her eyes.

"You know, you should have left to get ready at home."

"Why? Do I look that bad?" Patience smoothed out her dress.

"You look hot, I'm just saying, you should have taken the time."

"I had things to get done."

"Isn't Aaron more important?"

"Of course, but it wasn't like I didn't bring my clothing with me. I had a feeling I would not have time to go home and change."

Sarah shook her head. "Of course."

"Aaron should be here any minute. Didn't you mention a date as well?" Patience asked.

"He's picking me up at seven, with all the dates I've been on I can be ready in fifteen. You sure you wanna wait alone?"

"Aaron won't be long, he's always on time and he promised no cases tonight."

"That would ruin the mood," Sarah muttered.

"Sarah!"

"What? One of us has to have some fun."

Patience pulled out a small mirror, glancing at her appearance. "I have paperwork on the Little case anyway, so go ahead and go home. Have a nice night."

"You too." Sarah picked up her coat. "I expect to hear about it!"

"Not until I hear about your night!" Patience called after her.

Sarah winked before walking out the door.

Patience glanced at the clock before returning to her work. Twenty minutes later she looked up to see it was past six. Quickly glancing at her phone, Patience got up to check to see if Aaron was waiting for her out in the lab. Seeing no one she sat back down and checked the time again.

"Where are you, Aaron?" she muttered.

More time passed, and Patience stood to begin pacing her office. At seven she dialed Aaron's number. It rang three times.

"You have reached Aaron Jenson, leave a message and I'll get back to you."

At the tone Patience sighed. "Hey, Aaron. It's me. I'm getting worried. Can you at least call me? I just wanna know you're okay. Love you."

Patience ended the call, biting her lip in worry.

Footsteps suddenly approached and someone knocked on the door.

"Aaron, you were supposed to be here an hour ago," Patience snapped jokingly. "I was worried."

"I'm not Aaron."

Patience gasped and turned. "Thomas?"
