All the women were taken to the hospital for a check-up and they were all kept in because they were suffering from dehydration. Even Molly was kept in and she was there a shorter time than Sandra or even the other women. They wanted to make sure that she was in fact fine but for Molly it meant a proper bed.
And another night away from her team.
But who was she to complain? Molly knew she would be able to sleep or at least she hoped that she could get some anyway.
-.-
Her eyes were moving fast underneath her eyelids as she got deeper and deeper into the dream.
She was running away from the men that had taken her, Molly was moving through the warehouse. Her feet kept getting caught up in the bottom of her dress and she kept tripping up but their laughter seemed to just bounce off the walls.
Her heart was pounding hard in her chest and she was crawling along the floor and it was then that she saw the hand outstretched to her that she looked up and she saw who it was before she slipped her hand into his. "They are going to get me" she said sadly and then swallowed hard.
"No one is going to get you again, you are safe I promise" Charles spoke and smiled at her.
"But I'm not safe..." her eyes looked over his face and then slowly it started to turn into Bones.
"You're dreaming, Molly, no one is going to get you... just open your eyes"
"I don't want to be here anymore"
"Then open your eyes" he put his hand against her cheek and smiled at her this time.
Molly pulled herself out of the dream and sat up quickly, it took her a moment to remember where she was but it took her another minute to realise that she wasn't on her own. When she saw Bones her heart gave a heavy thump but she wasn't sure why, especially when she was the one that ended it.
There was a silence for a moment and she finally calmed down enough to lay back down on the pillows. If there was anyone she had expected to be sitting here it was Charles and not Bones.
"I didn't think I would actually see you again" Molly admitted and watched him.
There was silence from Bones for a moment and then he cleared his throat "Well we were bound to cross paths at some point" he watched her back before he looked down at the ground "Plus I'm pretty sure that you're the only person I know who can get in to trouble by being kidnapped"
A slight smile pulled at Molly's lips and she looked away towards the window. It was light out and she wasn't sure just how long she had slept but it didn't actually seem that long and it made a frown pull at her lips because she wanted to be able to sleep for a while but clearly that hadn't been the case.
"Well you know me, gotta make things hard for everyone" Molly moved her eyes back over to look at him. She was sure that she wasn't the only one who had something like this done, in fact Georgie had had it done to her and that was really what started Elvis and Georgie getting back together but she doubted that it would be the case for herself and Bones.
Or at least she wasn't looking to get back with anyone but when did that ever stop her from doing something.
"How are you?" Molly asked him after a moment.
"I'm alright, been busy"
"Saving women all over the world?" Molly teased before letting another smile pull at her lips this time it was a lot fuller than the one from before.
"Well I can't just let women go missing without going in to save them"
Molly has to laugh softly before she chews on her lip. "I'm glad you're okay, it's definitely been a while since we last spoke so to see you back at the warehouse was a bit of a shock" she said honestly. Even though she knew SF would have to come in and save her and the other females, she just didn't expect it to be Bones. Although she guessed that she should've given it a thought at some point.
"What about you?" Bones asked her, he wanted to know just how she was especially after everything that had happened. They hadn't seen each other in a while and being nosy he wanted to know just how things were with you.
Molly thought about it for a moment before she finally said "I don't know," she said honestly. "I came here to help and then I end up being taken from my team and almost sold, if it hadn't been for Peanut then I would probably be on the way to god knows where right now"
"We would never have let that happen, you do know that, we -I- would've found you in the end"
Molly watched him, he would've looked for her no matter how long it took and so would've Charles who she was really surprised wasn't here. "Well i'm glad that it didn't take that long because the last thing I would've wanted was to tie up the SF time for a while" she admitted. "You could be out there doing other things"
"Well yeah but we got to look out for our own people too" he smiled at her.
"I know that you would have my back but so does the team and they are not aware of anything happening between us"
Bones nodded and sat back in his seat before he spoke once more "So, you never said that you were married to Charles James that is really.. I want to say impressive but I'm sure that it would come out as sarcasm; so I'm going to say that it's scary"
"You knew there was someone before you; I just never said that I was married and I never thought that you would know Charles anyway and from how I take it you two don't get on" Molly wasn't sure she would actually want to know just why they didn't get on but she was sure that it had nothing to do with her because it sounded like it was from before even she had come in to the picture.
"I did know I just never assumed that it would be him" Bones really didn't want to get into a fight with Molly because he was honestly glad that she was alright, well as alright as anyone could be after being taken by those assholes but at least she was safe and away from them.
"I don't want to know what happened between you two" she admitted. Molly doesn't think she could even ask. Maybe it was better to just stay in the dark about those two especially when Charles had been her husband and Bones was her boyfriend and now she was single and not with either of them.
Bones watched her, he was quiet for the first time in a while and he did want to say what had happened between the two of them but Molly could do without hearing stuff from the past. "They're probably going to send you to see someone because of your ordeal"
"Yeah, they probably will" she admitted and scoffed. Molly looked up at the ceiling and chewed on her lip for a moment. She had been carrying around so much baggage that maybe she should unload but at the said time Molly was worried that if she did actually unload then she would end up being taken off the team and sat on the bench. If she really let everything out then she was more than likely going to have to keep going.
At the same time she really wanted to talk to someone about everything. To completely unload all of what was in her nut but again she would have to make sure that she didn't say too much just in case they bench her.
"So if he's your ex does that mean he's-" Bones was cut off quickly.
"Yeah" she admitted and chewed on the inner side of her lip for a moment before she then sat up and tried to put the pillows up behind her but couldn't do it so Bones helped her and she smiled softly at him and watched as he sat back down.
"And I'm guessing that he doesn't know?" he asked.
Molly shook her head and then reached over and grabbed the picture from the bedside cabinet. "I keep going through the talk in my nut but everytime I get to the whole Adam part it's like my brain fails to actually form any words so that really doesn't help"
Bones moved his seat closer and took her hand and she accepted it and gripped hold of his hand too.
She needed it more than she could've thought and she smiled at him. "I will tell him, soon I will" Molly promised.
Bones felt something inside of him that he never thought he would feel and that was disappointment that she would want to tell Charles about his son; he had become quite fond of the kid and maybe that was why she had ended it between the two of them because he was becoming too close to them. He came over as an asshole, and maybe he was, but when he found someone that he cared about then he would do anything to keep it and he thought he had found Molly but she was clearly on a different path to him.
"Do you want me to be there when you tell him?" Bones asked.
"No, it's probably best if I do it myself and maybe not when we're in another country. I think it's best to wait til we get home and then tell him"
"Tell me what?" the voice of Captain James said and he watched as Bones and Molly both looked over in his direction and then Molly slipped her hand from Bones'. "Are you dating him?" he asked and looked over at Bones before shaking his head.
"No. I-" Molly started but words started to fail her again but it seemed as if that didn't matter to Charles because he had made his mind up on them dating.
Charles scoffed "And there was me thinking that we could maybe we could work things out but I'm the idiot" he licked his bottom lip for a moment and then walked out of the ward.
Molly closed her eyes and then pinched the bridge of her nose, she was wondering where the hell she was going to go from here. Charles wanted to get back together and she was worried about what he would say about Adam. She was tired and just wanted to sleep some more.
"I can go after him and make him see sense" he went to stand up but Molly grabbed hold of his hand once more.
This time she opened up her eyes and looked at him "No, leave it," she muttered "it's probably best if you don't go after him because I can just imagine one or both of you ending up here too, no it's best to just let him stew for the time being and I'll talk to him once i'm out of here"
Charles literally had the worst timing ever and he had to walk in when they were talking about him and how she would say about Adam. Clearly he hadn't heard the first part of the talk or he would've known before she had a chance to sit him down and tell him herself.
"You should get some more rest and worry about all of this when you get out"
"If only" Molly was starting to worry about this now and she knew that it would probably keep her awake but for now she would try her best to get some more rest. Even if she had to fall asleep sitting up. She was about to close her eyes when something came to her mind "How is Sandra and the others?"
"They are going to make a recovery and will be flown home as soon as they can," he nodded "now get some rest" Bones squeezed her hand once more before he slipped his hand out of hers and sat back in his seat. Maybe he should go and talk to that idiot and make him see sense, make him get off his high horse over all of this.
But Bones also knew that he would probably end up hitting Captain James and getting in to trouble and that was the last thing he wanted right now.
