"Eh Bones…" he said staring at the box. "… Is that…"
"Yes Booth obviously!" she sighed and stood up.
"So… Are you… Late." He finally got the words out.
"No of course not!" she said with a sarcastic tone.
"So you think you're…"
"Booth of course I do! Why else would I buy it! For the fracture?"
"It's for the crack Bones." He said absentmindedly. She raised an eyebrow. "Sorry… Have you taken…" she looked at the floor.
"No not yet." He walked across the room and picked up the long white and pink box.
"Come on then. Well do it together!" she stared at him.
"Right now?" she asked.
"Yes right now!" he took her hand and led her to the bathroom. He stopped. "Eh I'll wait here. Call me when you're finished." He gave her the smile, that she was sure he only used for her and she nodded. Taking the test from him she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Come on Brennan it's not that hard!

"Yes sir? Have you found Ortez?" he asked.
"No Booth, but we do have some information. The price on your heads has been doubled!" Booth let out a gasp which got Brennan really worried. He put the phone on loudspeaker for her.
"What?"
"Yes. Things have gotten worse Booth. More dangerous! You really need to watch yourselves now." He said gravely.
"Thank you for telling us sir." Booth said. They both hung up and Booth told Brennan about the bits of conversation she had missed. She looked at him and could see the fear in his eyes. And yet she still couldn't help but be more afraid of the small white stick on the counter then of all the people after them. Then she remembered the minute had passed. They both looked over at the sink at the exact same moment…
