Thanks SO much for my wonderful reviews!!! Okay, here's chapter eighteen.
Chapter eighteen: Timer
Booth groaned and rolled over, "Good morning…Bones?" Booth sat up.
"Bones? Bones?" Booth looked franticly looked around the room, then he saw something that made his heart stop. It was a note on his nightstand. Hands shaking he picked it up,
"Dear My beloved Booth..." Booth's eyes scanned the note. His eyebrows rose in shock. Dropping the note he flew down the stairs to see if Jared was awake. Jared was fast asleep.
"Jared! Jared! Wake the hell up!!" Booth growled shaking Jared.
Jared groaned, "What the hell Seeley? What do you want?!"
"Bone's gone, she went to go find Angela!" Booth said franticly tossing clothes at Jared to put on.
Jared shot up, "Come on! We'll take my car…" Jared started to say before his eyes wandered over to a note on his nightstand,
"My car? My gun?! She toke my stuff!" Jared shrieked flinging the note and money at Booth.
Booth wasn't in the mood to feel sympatric towards Jared, "Come on! Who gives a crap about your gun and your money! Bones might be in trouble!" Booth yelled dragging Jared out of his room and towards the old truck.
Booth forced Jared into the passenger side before hopping into the driver's seat himself. He fired up the engine and he and Jared were speeding towards New York. Booth's cell beeped, Jared clicked it open.
"Oh my God! Seeley! Look Temperance…" Jared gasped handing the phone over to Booth. Booth toke one look and let out an angry roar.
"Brooks will pay if she's dead and the babies are too!" Booth screamed hitting the accelerant.
"Booth, try to call Hodgins, maybe you'll feel better once you have somebody from home to talk too." Jared said calmly, worried by his brother's anger.
Booth sighed, "Right Hodgins have to tell him about Angela." Booth pulled out his phone and dialed Hodgins phone number,
"Hello?" said a voice.
"Hodgins, it's me Booth." Booth said turning onto a road.
"Dude? Hey, great to hear from you! We've been wondering where you've been, Angie has almost killed us all about not hearing from Brennan…"
"Wait?! Angela's there with you?" Booth asked his voice raised.
"Yeah…she's been here for the whole time you've been gone. She's standing right beside me, do you want to talk to her?"
Booth's mouth quivered, "N-no."
"Booth? What's wrong, you seem upset…" Hodgins asked worriedly.
Booth didn't answer, he slammed his phone shut.
"What's wrong Booth?" Jared asked stupidly, he already knew what was wrong.
"It…was a trick…they tricked us…it was all a TRICK!!" Booth yelled hitting the horn.
"Calm down Seeley, we'll get there in time, Temps is going to be okay." Jared soothed putting his hand on his brother's shoulder. Booth shook him off,
"They're going to pay for what they did to her! I swear it! Over my dead body will they ever see the day of life again!" Booth hissed.
Six hours later…
Booth and Jared pulled up into the old ware house's parking lot. They jumped out and ran inside the building.
"Bones honey, can you hear me? It's me Booth." Booth called as he and Jared ran down the halls. Then they came to the stairs, looking down they saw a still figure lying on the ground.
"Bones!" Booth said jumping down the stairs, "Bones?" he brushed her auburn hair ut of her face. Jared checked her pulse,
"She alive, her heat's beating but slowly, she's going to need medical attention immediately."
"Can you tell if anything's broken?" Booth asked caressing her pale face.
Jared shrugged, "Maybe her ankle…I'm not sure…"
"Well, well, well, you're a bit late aren't you? We've been expecting you for mm… twenty minutes now maybe? And looks like you brought a friend, how lovely, I do hope he isn't important, we wouldn't want him to die would we?" Brooks said stepping out of the darkness followed by the three Hispanics.
"Brooks!" Booth hissed.
Brooks laughed, "Happy to see me again Agent Booth?"
"Jared, take Brennan out of here, get her to a hospital, if I don't make it take care of her." Booth growled not taking his eyes off of Brooks.
"But Seeley…" Jared started to say.
"That was an ORDER Jared! Leave now!"
Jared carefully scooped up Brennan, cradling her in his arms he rushed up the stairs and out of the building.
Brooks chuckled again, "Looks like someone's trying to be a hero, boys, go stop that man Jared and Dr. Brennan, don't let them get to the hospital, in one piece that is."
The three men nodded, running up the stairs they left Brooks and Booth alone.
"Now…where were we…oh yes!" Brooks through a punch at Booth who dodged it sending a punch to Brook's jaw.
Brook's stumbled back in surprise, "Wow, you've changed a lot, more then I have expected. Hm, maybe this will slow you down." Brooks pulled out a gun and shot Booth in the side.
Booth grunted and slammed back against the wall. Brooks smiled and kicked him in the groin. He gasped and crumpled to the floor.
"Well Agent Booth, I'll be sure to let everyone know the story, Agent Booth, weak and ignorant came to stop me the mighty Brooks, but unable to fight his opponent he died leaving his pregnant partner and brother alongside him to face the fate he did." Brooks smiled cocking his gun to give Booth his finally blow, "You'll sure be missed Agent Booth…not…goodbye forever." He smiled and pointed the gun at Booth's forehead.
"BURN IN HELL!" Booth yelled pulling out Jared's gun from behind him that Brennan had brought, he shot Brooks in the chest. Brooks gasped he stumbled back a few steps before he fell down the last flight of stairs. Booth painfully got up and walked over to the edge of the railing. A pool of blood spread around Brook's head, he was dead.
Booth breathed a sigh of relief, he slide to the floor. Picking up his cell phone he dialed 911, "Hello ER…"
Booth knew he wouldn't be here when the ambulance arrived to pick up Brook's body. He had to go help Jared and Brennan. Now they were the ones in trouble.
