"No way…" Cam said breaking the silence
"No way…" Cam said breaking the silence. Brennan looked at Booth who nodded.
"Way." She replied.
"How… why… dead… what!!" Zach said stuttering.
"Is Zach speechless?" Booth muttered. Brennan laughed but found that she herself could barely muster a sentence, due to the lump forming in her throat.
"You're alive." Cam said putting everything down on the table, tears now streaming down her face.
"Yes." Booth said. Zach also put down the remains in his hands.
"Wow two deaths in a years that's rough man!" Hodgins was the first to come towards them. He reached out and pulled Booth into a hug. Brennan could see the tears in both men's eyes. She smiled. Hodgins let him go and moved to Brennan, but before he hugged her there was a loud crash behind them. Brennan spun around and saw Angela standing there surrounded by thousands of shattered pieces. Brennan guessed she was holding a skull, and normally she would have hated seeing it broken on the floor but when her eyes met Angela's it didn't matter.
"Bren…" she said in barely a whisper.
"Ange…" a tear finally escaped her.
"Where the hell were you!" she said stepping over the shards.
"Witness Protection."
"For almost nine months?!"
"Yes…"
"But the crash?"
"Staged."
"Over eight months Bren, I thought you were dead for over eight months."
"I know Ange I …" But Angela interrupted.
"And you!" she said looking at Booth. he stepped towards her putting out his arms, but she didnt embrace him, instead she pushed hard against his chest causing him to lose his footing and stumble backwards. "I've gone to your funeral twice this year Seeley Booth! Twice! Have you any idea how hard that was!" she turned back to Brennan.
"I lost both of you! For about a month I expected a call a letter anything!! there was tears now. "Why didn't you contact me!"
"Ange we couldn't!" Booth started.
"You couldn't have put us on your list! We didn't merit enough in your lives to know!"
"Angela we had no list! No one bar the F.B.I knew we were alive! My father, Russ, Parker no-one knew!" Brennan said.
"Not even Parker?" she looked at Booth.
"No not even Parker." He hung his head. Brennan watched Angela as her face changed. The tears continued but the rest of the expression softened.
"You have no idea how glad I am to see you again!" she moved forward this time hugging Booth. she clung to him for a few minutes then moved towards Brennan.
"Sweetie!" she rushed forward and put out her arms to embrace her friend, Brennan almost forgot…
"WHAT!!" Angela jumped back landing on the shards again, by this time everyone had come down from the platform and was beside them. "Bren is that part of your cover?" Brennan looked at Booth, then back at the artist.
"No Ange it's not I'm pregnant!" Angela had never smiled a smile as big in her life. Brennan took Booths hand again.
"No way…" Cam repeated.
