Dinner and a Movie

Chapter 10

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Booth hurried back to the Hoover building. He had the note finger printed and ran it through AFIS to find a match. This unfortunately came up with no lead and Booth hit another dead end.

He punched the wall and other agents in the building just looked at him. One laughed "That's what marriage will do to you."

Booth didn't find this funny and forced the agent against the wall "If you ever joke with me about that again I won't be so nice."

Cullen saw this and pulled Booth into his office. "Agent Booth, I saw that little act you pulled out there."

"Yes sir, I'm sorry sir."

"Did that have anything to do with your partner Agent Booth? I told you that if anything happen I would separate you."

"Don't worry sir, it won't happen again."

"Booth, you are one of my best agents. The ONLY reason I am letting you stay as her partner is because you are such a good team. This is you last warning. Anything happens and I will separate you two, no questions asked. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir, thank you."

"Now, I have some things I need you to look into for me."

"Sir, I was on my way to the Jeffersonian to deliver a piece of evidence to Hodgins to examine. It is very important."

"I don't want any excuses. I am putting my neck out for you so that you can stay partners with Dr. Brennan. I expect you do have my priorities at the top of your list. Whatever you need to get to Hodgins will have to wait."

"Yes sir." Booth took the file from Cullen and listened to what Cullen wanted him to do.

Booth went back to his office and got started on all the paper work he would need to do for the case Cullen had just given him. Unfortunately it was a case that he didn't need the squints for and going to the Jeffersonian was out of the question.

He picked up the phone and called Agent Richards. "Hey, can you do something for me?"

"Sure…what is it Booth?"

"I need you to put an agent on Dr. Brennan. I have reason to believe her life may be in danger and I need someone watching her."

"Sure, no problem. I will send someone right over."

"And can you keep it low key? She would be furious if she knew I sent someone to watch her."

"Sure. I will send my best guys out." Richards laughed "Congrats by the way."

"Thanks, I guess everyone knows about it."

"Well yeah, you can't keep a secret from the FBI Booth!"

"I know, thanks Richards. I owe you."

"No problem."

Booth felt a little better. At least someone would be following her to make sure she was okay. Hopefully he could get the note back over to Hodgins tomorrow to see if he could find anything on it. The work Cullen had given him was going to take him all night.

Back at the Jeffersonian Angela walked up to Brennan's office. "Hey sweetie. It's after 8 alright are you going home anytime soon?"

"Maybe later, I have a lot of work to get done."

"Sweetie, you have been here since six this morning. I know you worked through lunch and you have been acting like you have been working all day when you haven't."

"Ange."

"No, I am your best friend. You are coming with me. We are going to vege out and watch a movie."

"Vege out?"

"Yeah you know….eat a lot and relax while watching a movie. What could it hurt?"

"I don't know Ange."

"It wasn't a suggestion, it was an order. Now come on."

"Only on one condition."

"Name it."

"You will not bring up Booth or anything that happened while we were in Vegas."

"Deal….let's go."

"Thanks Ange."

"That's what friends are for."

Angela and Brennan went to pick up pizza and ice cream. They then went back to her apartment and put in the movie 'A Walk to Remember.'

They 'veged out' on pizza and then both had an ice cream cone with a coke float to drink.

"Do you think this is too much ice cream Ange?"

"There is no such thing as too much ice cream."

The finished watching me movie and when it was over Brennan had tears in her eyes. "The fact that he did all those things for her even though she was going to die is so sweet."

"I'm sorry Bren, I didn't mean to get a movie that would make you cry."

"Oh no, I'm fine, that was so sweet."

"Okay, on a happier note. Let's play a game!"

"Don't you think it is getting late? Maybe I should get going."

"No way! You are staying here tonight and we are gonna stay up and play games and have fun. Get your mind off of things!"

"We have to be at work in the morning."

"I know…but come one….you owe me for yelling at me this morning!"

"Okay okay…. I'll stay…what games are we going to play?"

"How about truth or dare."

"I don't like that game."

"Oh come on Bren, I already promised I wouldn't talk about Booth so you have nothing to worry about. Come on… I'm your best friend…you can tell my anything and it won't leave this room."

"Okay okay….but I get to ask first."

"Okay….truth or dare."

"Truth."

"Do you really love Hodgins?"

"That's easy….yes! My turn. Truth or Dare."

"Truth."

"How old were you when you first….ya know." Angela gives her a goofy look and raises her eyes brows.

"I was 19…in college."

"And?"

"And what?"

"You aren't going to elaborate?"

"You only asked me how old…not anything else."

"hrm… okay….remind me to ask more specific questions. Your turn."

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Okay, I date you to walk up to Hodgins tomorrow at the lab and kiss him in front of everyone!"

"No problem!!! Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"This guy that was your first….what else happened between you."

"Is it to late to take the dare?"

"Sorry…you gotta answer! You already said truth….I swear it won't leave this room sweetie."

Brennan started quietly talking "Well, I thought I loved him. I thought I knew what love was. I was wrong. We were together for four years. I was going to marry him…"

"Omg! You were going to marry someone?"

"Yes…" She continued "I was twenty two and he asked. I was stupid and said yes. Everything was done and we were standing at the alter. I freaked out and took off." She looked up at Angela.

Angela just nodded as if saying to continue "I ran as far away from him as I could. He freaked out and came after me. He hit me told me that I would never be with anyone but him. That is when I swore I would never get married again." Brennan broke down and started sobbing uncontrollably. She couldn't control herself. Once she started talking she couldn't stop. She told Angela a secret she hadn't even repeated to herself since it had happened.

"Oh sweetie, I am so sorry. Is that why you are terrified to be married to Booth? Booth isn't like that sweetie."

"I know Ange. You said you wouldn't bring that up. You promised. It isn't about that, I can't tell you what it is about Ange."

"Shhhh…okay okay…. Everything will be okay." Angela pulled Brennan into an embrace that surprisingly she didn't pull away from.

"How about we try to get some sleep tonight okay?" Angela asked Brennan as she pulled her to her feet.

"Okay, thanks Ange." Brennan finally stopped crying. She knew she was safe but she had told Angela something she had never told anyone. She would have told anyone under normal circumstances but he was back…and that terrified her.

Bren went into the bathroom to wash her face and Angela went to text message Booth.

"Bren is with me so don't worry. I have to meet with you in the morning. I found out something important."

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Booth was finally leaving his office as it was after 11:30 and looked down at his phone to see Angela's message.

He messaged her back "Okay good, meet you at 8…bring Hodgins."

Booth felt better that Bones was safe for tonight. He headed home and found his own bed to crawl into. At least he knew some of what was going on. Hopefully tonight he could get some sleep even if his love was not in his arms.
