Christine's Pov
As I collapsed on the floor in front of the couch, I tried to breathe and push back that uncontrollable pain that was consuming my body. Our five hours were nearly up and our parents were on the verge of finding the antidote, but I was starting to think that maybe they were going to be too late. I knew that was the pain talking, but since the pain was unbearable I was willing to listen to it. I started coughing madly and Michael pulled me against him.
"Come on Chris, just hold on a little longer" Michael rasped and I wiped the blood from my mouth.
"Let's look at it logically Michael, our… parents have… one hour left to save us" I choked out. I could feel myself beginning to drift off.
"They'll do it, they always do" He said, holding me tightly against his chest. I squeezed his hands tightly and realized there was something I needed to know, just in case we didn't make it out of here alive.
"Just in case they don't, is there anything you want to do or say before we possibly die?" I asked and I looked up at him. His face was pale and covered in sweet like mine was, but his eyes shined slightly as he looked back at me.
"Yeah, this" Michael said and he lowered his lips to mine. He kissed me deeply, despite the fact that he was dying a slow and painful death, and I used what strength I had to kiss him back.
It was then that my stomach exploded in pain and I ripped away from him, crying out at I did. It felt like my stomach was being ripped apart right now.
"Christine! Christine hold on" Michael cried, but I slowly succumbed to the darkness that was ultimately leading me to my death.
Michael's Pov
"Just in case they don't, is there anything you want to do or say before we possibly die?" Christine asked me and I looked down into her pale face. She was usually so beautiful, but now she looked like she was on the brink of death, which was reasonable since we were both about to die in hour.
Hearing those words out of her mouth though, I knew this could be my last and only chance to tell her how I feel, or better yet show her before the pain I was feeling took over completely
"Yeah, this" I said and I leaned down and kissed her. I knew there were a million better times and places that our first kiss could have taken place in, but since we were dying I wasn't being picky. I couldn't say though that the fact Christine kissed me back dulled some of the immense pain I was feeling.
It was then though that Christine ripped away from me and cried out in pain. I knew what was happening, but I also knew the moment she passed out she had an hour.
"Christine! Christine hold on" I cried, but she suddenly became limp in my arms, her eyes closing. I looked down at her in panic, but that panic was quickly taken over by the pain that erupted in my body. I struggled with it, trying to stay awake, but soon I succumbed to the darkness like Christine just had.
Booth's Pov
As I walked towards the interrogation room with Bones and Sweets I knew time was running out, which was why I had to get this guy to fess up and give me the antidote before my daughter and Michael died.
"Booth, it's Cam. She says we have an hour" Bones said and I clenched my fist tighter.
"Tell Cam I don't need a countdown" I snapped.
"Agent Booth, snapping at Dr. Brennan and Dr. Saroyan isn't going to save Christine" Sweets said and I hated it because I knew he was right, it's just I had been protecting Christine from this my entire life and now there was a chance I could lose.
"Look Bone's, I'm sorry" I said as we reached the interrogation room.
"She's our daughter Booth; it's understandable that you'd be angry. I am too" Bones said and I sighed.
"Let's do this" I said and I pushed open the door, quickly followed by Bones and Sweets. The moment the asshole Angela had caught saw Bones his face changed into one of shock, but he quickly disguised it. I still had to thank Angela for figuring out it was this guy, now all I had to do was get him to do was tell me where the antidote is.
"What am I doing here again Agent Booth?" Howard Richardson asked and I dropped the file onto the table as Bone's and Sweets sat down.
"We know you're the one who killed Tomas Green and created the poison that was placed in Dr. Temperance Brennan's and Dr. Jack Hodgins offices" I said and he scoffed.
"What are you on about?" He asked and I really wanted to hit him.
"You were the last one to see Tomas Green alive. He was at your company to expose you" I said and I leant against the table, looking him directly in the eye. "So you killed him, then you placed the poison in Dr. Brennan's and Dr. Hodgins offices so they couldn't solve the case" I finished.
"You can't prove that" He snapped and I looked at him dead in the eyes.
"Actually we can. We have forensic evidence that links you directly to his murder, but that's not the only mistake you've made buddy" I said and he looked up at me with a smirk, which wasn't the smartest idea right now since my daughter's life was hanging in the balance.
"And what exactly was that?" He asked with his sick and twisted smirk and I lost it. I ripped him out of his chair and threw him against the wall, holding him by his jacket collar.
"Agent Booth! Let him go" Sweets said, but I was beyond caring right now. If I didn't get this guy to tell me where the antidote was, then Christine was going to die and I was not going to let that happen.
"Instead of getting my wife with your poison, you got my little girl and the son of Dr. Hodgins, which means now I won't think twice about killing you. So you tell me where the antidote is or I will kill you" I threatened and I meant it. If Christine or Michael died, this guy was following them.
"Booth stop" Bones said and she grabbed my shoulder, pulling me away from him and taking my place in front of him. "Please, our daughter is only sixteen and Michael is too. They have done nothing to you, so tell us where the antidote is and maybe we can work out a deal. You've only killed one person so far, don't add two more to that list" Bones begged. I had never heard her beg before, but this was Christine we were talking about. We'd both do anything and everything in our power if it meant saving her life.
"The antidotes in my lab. It's in lab two and its marked antidote 3785" He said and I quickly grabbed out my phone, calling the men that were at the lab.
"Thank you" Bones said as the man I was calling answered his phone.
"Special Agent Booth, what is it?" He asked.
"The antidote is in lab two of his facility, marked 3785. Find it and get it to the Jeffersonian immediately" I snapped, then I hung up and looked at the murderer in front of my. I pulled out my hand cuffs and turned him around, slamming him into the wall again. "Howard Richardson, I am arresting you for the murder of Tomas Green and the attempted murders of Michael Hodgins and Christine Booth. If they don't survive this I will shoot you myself" I said.
If Christine didn't make it through this, he was dead and that was it. Also if I lost Christine, I have no idea what I'd do. I just had to pray to god that she made it through this and that the antidote got to both her and Michael in time.
Another Cliffhanger! Will Christine and Michael live and if they do will they be different? If they live will they finally give into their feelings? Review and tell me what you think. Also I'm thinking of leaving updating it for a few days, just to let the drama build, but I haven't decided yet. What would all my readers prefer?
