"No! Seely!" Brennan cried out. Dane turned to her and backhanded her viciously across the face with his right hand. Her head turned to the side and she stumbled and fell backwards with a thud, landing hard on the metal ground. Booth stood up slowly, grimacing in pain as his right arm began to bleed like crazy and the blood soaked through his white shirt. He tossed his jacket behind him and turned to Dane. His eyes were drawn to Brennan lying on the ground and he saw her face beginning to swell. His eyes flashed with anger as he took a step forward.

"Don't you EVER touch her again or I will kill you." He snarled, clutching his arm to try and stop the flow of blood.

"I don't think that's really up to you to decide now, is it? After all, her life is in my hands, not yours." Dane said, grinning coldly. He grabbed Brennan by her shoulders and yanked her to her feet and Booth saw a bruise beginning to form on the right side of her face. Dane placed the gun to Brennan's head and Booth felt a cold chill seep through him. Dane looked back at Booth.

"Oh don't worry. I'm not going to shoot her." He said a wicked grin plastered on his face. It was then that Booth noticed the diving belt attached to Tempe's waist and his face went a pitch white color.

"No, don't do this Dane, please don't do this." Booth pleaded. Dane dragged Brennan back a step and Brennan looked backwards over her shoulder. The diving hole that was a hundred feet deep and filled with water was about five steps away. She swallowed deeply, trembling in fear.

"Say goodbye to the doctor." Dane said, a malicious glint in his eyes. He shoved Brennan back hard and she stumbled back a few steps. She felt her feet run out of ground and felt as she teetered on the edge of falling in. She looked at Booth, terrified.

"Booth, tell Angela and Zack that I'll miss them and I-I love you." She managed to say before she fell backwards with a splash.

"NO!" Booth shouted as he stood paralyzed in horror as he watched Brennan struggle to stay above the water and fail. She took a deep breathe and he watched as the weight pulled her down beneath the water.
