Booth woke up with a metallic taste in his mouth and his head throbbing. He sat up realizing it was the taste of blood. He reached over to where Brennan had been what seemed like moments again and the sheets were cold.

"Bones…." Booth attempted to yell but he couldn't get the words out. He pulled himself to his feet and nearly collapsed back on to the bed. It took all the strength he had to steady his legs and take the few steps towards the bathroom.

Booth heart began to beat out of his chest. Something was wrong, something was very wrong.

He managed to get the words out this time "Bones." There was no reply. He looked in the mirror and saw blood dried down the side of his face.

He stumbled down the hall into the living room. He looked into the kitchen and his fears were confirmed. She was gone. His Bones was gone.

He collapsed in front of the couch and reached for his phone sitting on the coffee table. He tried calling her. The familiar tune of his ring tone played in the distance and he saw her bad sitting on the bar.

She's gone. She didn't leave by choice either or her bag wouldn't be here. He immediately called it in. What seemed like hours later the apartment was swarming with FBI personnel, frantically searching for any clues that might have been left.

"Agent Booth?"

Booth was brought back to reality by someone calling his name. "Huh?" was all he managed to get out.

"We have the paramedics here and they need to look at the bump on your head. It looks pretty bad."

Booth just nodded as the man helped him to his feet. "You might want to put some pants on as well sir."

Booth looked down to realize that he was in nothing but his boxers. By this time he had regained some of his strength and walked back to the bedroom to put his clothing on. A few minutes later he emerged and walked over to the waiting paramedic and Cullen.

"Booth….are you alright? Do you remember anything that happened?" Booth sat down on the chair so the paramedic could look at his wound.

"I don't, I remember going to bed and then when I woke up. When I woke up…."

Booth winced at the pain from the man cleaning the laceration on his head.

"You need at least 8 stitches Agent Booth. I am unable to do them here, we need to take you to the hospital. We also need to do a few tests to see if you were drugged."

"I can't go to the hospital. I have to find her."

Cullen intervened "Can you get what you need to run the tests here?"

"Yes, but the stitches will have to be done at the hospital. They also need to do a CT scan and see if there was any damage done to his brain."

"I'm not going, I have to go find her first. I know who did this Cullen. I have Hodgins running some samples right now to tell me where and word should come back on a name at anytime."

"We have people who can do this Booth, you should go get checked out."

"Look, I am fine. I will go to the doctor after I find her and not a moment before."

Cullen saw a look of desperation and stubbornness in his eyes and knew it was pointless to argue. "Okay, but if we don't find her before the end of the day you will be required to go to the hospital."

"We will find her, I have to find her." Booth allowed the paramedic to take a blood sample and clean up his head wound as best as he could.

Just then Booth's phone started to ring. "Booth."

"Agent Booth, we got the name, Branson Nichols but his last known address is in Georgia."

"Thanks. That's what I needed."

Booth then continued to make his next call. "Hodgins, you find out anything yet?"

"Yeah, I was just about to call. We found high levels of lithium oxide on the note."

"Okay, what does that tell you?"

"Well this lithium oxide is rarely seen in such high concentrations. It has to be in the air. The only place around DC that has these levels is an old manufacturing plant just outside the city."

"Thank God. I am on my way out there."

"Is something wrong Booth?"

"Bones disappeared sometime this morning. This is our best lead. Don't tell Ange though, I don't want her to worry."

"Okay, keep me updated and if you need anything else let me know."

"Thanks man."

"No problem."
