Booth drove the RV like it was a Nascar and he was Jimmy Johnson. He took corners like a bat out of hell and passed people on the double yellow line. The decided to drive east through the Cascades and would turn the RV in for something different in Coeur D'Alene. Once they crossed into Idaho it was near sun-up. Cathy and Bones had both tried to get some rest during the night but the worry made it hard. Cathy stayed in the bunk above the driver and Brennan decided to check in with Booth and figure out their next moves.

"Booth? Are you okay? Do you want me to drive for a while?" Bones asked as she took the passenger seat.

"No, it's okay, we will be in Coeur D'Alene soon enough. I have to check in with the bureau soon and figure out who those morons were. How did they get out of the cuffs? Those weren't standard issue. This is what's worrying me Bones. Maybe we have met our match. How could I've been so stupid and left them alone? I should've just waited the ten minutes and got something out of them. I knew you'd come. How could I have been so..."

"Don't say stupid, Booth. You're not stupid." She leaned over and put her hand on his thigh and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "How were you to know? They had I.D. It looked real, I thought we were okay too. Don't beat yourself up Booth, we'll be okay, we always are."

Brennan let her last words sink in. She knew he would keep them safe. She knew out of all the things in her life, Booth was her rock. He would hold her up and keep her close until his dying breath. They were few things she knew were true- bones never lied, no matter how long they sat, they could tell their life story, and Booth was her partner. One hundred and ten percent, never question, always know, he was with her. His loyalty was unwavering and natural, and he was hers. Always.

For some unknown reason that didn't frighten her, in fact she was really starting to like the sound of that. He was hers. Was she his? In a way she had given him all she could without stepping over the line. There were times when she wanted more. A good 'release' with him, but sometimes their bickering was enough for her. When she needed physical contact he could see it and gave her a hug. Sometimes it was a quick one and other times, she could let him hold her all night if he would. She liked the way he marked her for his own. The hand on her lower back, or leading her by the elbow. The way he draped his arm around her with such ease. That was natural, no underlying scheme, just them. He was her best friend, better than Angela. He knew everything, he read her like a book and that didn't scare her. She wasn't afraid anymore of someone knowing her inner most demons, in fact, she wanted him to know, everything.

"Bones? Hello, Bones." He waved his hand in front of her face. "Anyone in there?"

Finally she turned and looked at him. "What? Sorry, I was thinking."

"I see that. Where'd you go? What had you thinking so hard?"

"Oh nothing. I was just wondering what we're going to do? How are we going to keep Cathy safe, and who those guys were? Were they just there because we were? They aren't going after my aunts right? They are just coming after me." That last line scared her back into reality. "Booth, they are coming after me. This has nothing to do with Cathy or Charlie, or even you. Booth, we have to get out of here. I can't go to Charlie. We have to drop Cathy off at the field office, let her get back to her life. We have to go back to D.C. I won't let them get hurt because of me."

Booth saw a rest area and decided now was a good time to stop and stretch their legs. He stopped the RV and jump out of the cab, Brennan was right on his heels. They went to the edge of the lookout and Booth turned to address her.

"Hey come here." He opened his arms and Brennan walked straight into his embrace. "I won't let anything happen to you or your aunt. Believe that."

"I do Booth. I know you won't, but I won't lose you either."

Booth pulled her back and held her arms. "Hey, you aren't going to lose me. You won't. Okay? We will check in at the field office and maybe they can help Cathy out. If not, we will take her with us and you will meet your other aunt. I promised to find your family and we are halfway there. I never do anything halfway." Booth brought her back to his chest and held her with all he had.

Brennan melted into his chest. Breathing deep and capturing his scent. She knew that she belonged there, against him, she just had to convince him.

Booth released his grip on her. "Now let's get going. We are going to be changing quite a few things when we get to town, so be prepared. I don't know if we can keep up the Mike and Molly charade but we are definitely making some changes. We will switch RV's, we have to do something. We need to be able to go at the drop of a hat, and maybe the bureau will kick some coin in and we can get a bigger one. Hotel hopping is just too hard, plus we are easily tracked through reservations. We will tow a vehicle and if we need a quick getaway then we have one. I am thinking instead of checking into the dude ranch, we sneak in. We go in undetected talk to Charlie, get some answers and get out. We will get there Bones and we are taking Cathy with us."

Brennan nodded the whole time he was talking. She knew he would come up with a plan and she knew it would be a good one. Being a Ranger he could get them in and out of the Dude ranch undetected and she was willing to go.

"Okay, I'm with you. What kind of changes are you thinking?"

"Well we will get you a wig, figure out something for Cathy, she may be willing to cut her hair and dye it. As for me, well, hmmm, how do you think I would look blonde?"
