Confused

Jack looked at the DNA analysis Brennan left on her computer when she and Booth went to arrest the culprit.

"Hi, Jack." Jack turned around swiftly to see Angela and Zach cornering him. His back was pressed against the computer desk, and he was sweating.

"Wha... what do you want with me?"

"We want to help you." Angela told him.

"I mean, with the pen incident..." Zach added.

"What's going on, Jack? Your not yourself." Angela inquired.

"I... the... work... ugh..." Jack sighed. After a long pause, he started again. "I'm just under a lot of stress. I need to get away."

"Take a few days off. We'll..." Angela began.

"NO!" Jack yelled. "The people need me!"

"We can handle it!" Zach explained. "Take a week off. Trust me."

"Fine... only because you people think I should." Jack gave in.

"Great!" Angela exclaimed. "Just give us a schedule of your daily routines. We can take it from there."

Brennan and Booth knocked on the door of Sally's old Victorian home. Sally opened the door ever so slightly as to see whom it was. At the sight of the two familiar faces. She opened up.

"Dr.Brennan, Booth, please come in."She cooed. Sally looked around before shutting the door. "I-have you found anything on my husband's death?"

"Yes we have." Brennan said.

"We know the culprit." Booth added. Both kept their voices at a calm state.

"Really?" Sally's palms were covered in sweat, and here eyes were wide. "Whom?"

"You." Booth told her. Still, his voice was calm.

"But... I" Sally stammered.

"You," Brennan stated, "We upset because he would come home every night to you drunk."

"And every morning would have a hangover." Booth chimed in.

"When you thought neither off you could take it, you hit him over the head with a lamp, then a candle stick."

"Explaining the skull fracture." Brennan turned and gave him a glare.

"Before the crashes hit him, he stabbed you to get you to stop. Then he, passed on." Sally, understood. She looked down at the floor.

"I loved George, I just couldn't stand to see him that way."

"We'll need to arrest you." Booth told her. He handcuffed Sally as her sullen face grew more and more dark. She knew it was over.

Brennan and Booth were having lunch, silently. Brennan was thinking about her next book while slowly eating her salad. Booth was replaying the arrest in his head. Just as Brennan finished her salad, Booth spoke up.

"Hey, Brennan," her head shot up as he said this. "I need to have a word with you."

"Shoot"

"Well, we've been friends for a really long time, and, well,"

"Go on"

"I think maybe we could go a step further,"

"I'm not sure were on the same page."

"Brennan, listen to me. I love you." Brennan's blue eyes shot open. She got up to throw out the container the pre-made salad came in. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around.

"Booth, you're a friend of mine." She looked down. "I just don't like you that way, I'm sorry."

Booth sat for a while, unmoving, shocked. After a few minutes he banged his hand on the table, and thought to himself, how could a girl like her ever, in a million years...

Booth got up and left the room.

love a man like me.
