"What took you so long, Hodgins? You said that you were only 2 blocks away." Zach looked up from his table.
Hodgins was panting as he set a medium sized cooler box on top of the lab table. "This is all the evidence that was collected at Dr. B's apartment…and this is the reason why I was late…" he threw a crumpled flyer at Zach.
"Repent now, the end is near… really?"
"There must have been dozens of them along the entire street. They were into everyone's faces. There I was minding my own business and one of them came up, shoved this flyer into my hand and started rambling about the effects of global warming, a civil war and how the end is near. I swear if I didn't have to rush here, I would have punched him in the face."
"I guess I would have done that if I were you. Hey, who is that guy Cam is talking to at the door?" Zach craned his neck towards the doorway.
"That's one of our board members, Noel Kums. Owner of Kums International Group. I'm sure you have heard of the group"
"Err…No…."
"Seriously, have you been living under a rock? They are literally into everything, transportation, mining, tourism, finance just to name a few. They are the ones launching the first commercial space station, tickets are already for sale in the market now."
"Ah…space travel…I'll sell my soul to get hold of one of those tickets."
"I know right." Hodgins and Zach stared into the distance.
"GUYS! Brennan is missing and both of you are starstruck by some Billionaire?"
"He is not just some Billionaire or Trillionaire Ange, he's…"
"I DON'T CARE! GET YOUR ASSES MOVING!" Angela fumed and was close to tears as the two men scrambled to unload the evidence in the box for processing . Her best friend is missing. She just got off the phone with Booth who just told her so far no one had heard from Brennan or her kidnappers. The situation was getting desperate, it is not like Brennan to just take off without informing anyone. She knew her friend was in grave danger and every second counts.
