Chapter Six: The girl with the Bomb

By now, Booth was very agitated and really annoyed. He couldn't get up and arrest the bastard; all he could do was sit there and wait.

Meanwhile back at Hodgins' place, House of Wax was almost over and Angela was fast asleep, with her head across Jack's lap. When the movie was finished, Jack was about to get up when he noticed Angela had fallen asleep. He carefully got up and lifted Angela's head up and gently placed it on the couch, being carefully not to wake her. When he was up he gently placed a kiss on Angela's temple and went to remove the disc from the DVD player and switch off the television. When he had done that, he turned back around and looked at Angela, she wasn't moving she was as peaceful and still as a person who had moved on, but Angela had a lot more colour and life in her than a corpse. Jack thought she looked so angelic, he liked that, Angelic Angela, he thought that summed her up just nicely.

When he was getting to the nice part of his daydream, the part where he's usually making out with the woman he's dreaming of, in this instance, Angela, he was snapped out of his trance by a quiet sigh from Angela and her stirring and finally waking up. She sat up and looked around, she saw Jack staring straight back at her. She gave him a smile and stretched her arms.

"Movie over?" she asked him, half asleep.

"Yeah, about ten minutes ago" he told her.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"You looked so peaceful and beautiful laying there" he told her.

Angela was flattered by his compliment once again, he really is a gentleman, she thought to herself. She smiled at the thought, stood up, and stretched her arms over her head.

"What time is it?"

"It's around 9.40pm" Jack said, gazing at his watch.

"Mmm too early to be asleep" said Angela, stretching again. "You should have woken me up"

"Well sorry. I'll remember that for next time" he told her, in the smart, funny Jack Hodgins way. Angela loved his humour, which was one of the qualities she fell for; another was his noble gentleman quality. She'd been messed around too many times before by hopeless men, and she knew Jack Hodgins wasn't one of them.

"Well seeing it's too early for bed, what do you wanna do Miss Montenegro? Lady's choice" he said.

"Hmm that's a hard decision" she said, walking up to him teasingly, "But why don't we start from here and see where the night takes us". She puts her arms up over Jack's shoulder's and around his neck and leans forward and kisses him passionately. Jack works his hands up Angela's back and she lets him take off her top, Jack does the same and they decide move their party to the bedroom and continue it there.

Back at the restaurant, Booth and Brennan's bomb maker has come over and is now talking to them about his motives.

"You see, I've planned all this for you Miss Brennan" he said. Booth thought he was a nut job, obviously insane.

"Planned what, what have you planned?" Booth asks, really impatient now.

"Booth it's ok, I can handle this" Tempe tells him, "Who's the girl in the bag?" she asks the Bomb maker.

"I'm just backing you up Bones" he tells her, then turns to the mental case standing in front of them

"Now tell me what you've planned!" demands Booth. "You're insane you know that" He tells him.

"Oh yes I've heard that, many times. But I believe I am not insane, I am simply a fan" he tells Booth.

"A fan?" says Booth, confused.

The bomb maker then turns to Brennan. "The girl in the bag is a young girl by the name of Charlotte Anne Touso. She's just another one of my innocent victims slaughtered for the pure pleasure of honouring my hero, Dr Temperence Brennan" he told her.

"Hero? Now you're really insane" says Booth. Now he was confused, what did this guy want? He was not going to take away his Tempe from him that was for sure.

"Yes, my hero, Dr Temperence Brennan" he says, putting a hand on Brennan's shoulder, she tries to shake him off but he only leans in closer and whispers in her ear. Booth is watching all of this, right now he is fuming, if a person could have smoke coming out of their nose and ears like they do in cartoons that would be Booth. He was more than ready to stand up jump on the psycho bastard, but he couldn't.

He whispers, "I'm going to make you mine Temperance. I just need to kill your bodyguard, and then we can be together". His icy words send shivers up Brennan's spine, she had heard enough, and she turned towards him and spat in his eye. Mr Bomb maker stepped back startled and Temperance grabbed the remote control to the bomb out of his coat pocket and chucks it to Booth. He puts the remote on the table gently and jumps up out of his seat, at long last, his butt was getting numb, but not that he cared about that right now, he had his bomber and stalker. Booth pushed the man onto the ground, rolled him over and hand cuffed him while Tempe rang for back up.

Ten minutes later their man was in the back of a FBI vehicle and under the watchful eye of Booth's fellow agents. While Booth was reporting to his boss, Tempe was standing back surveying the scene, arms crossed and deep in thought. What if the bomb man had accidentally bumped the button on the remote, the one which would set off the bomb and kill every soul in that restaurant, but she knew Booth would never let a thing like that ever occur.

When Booth was finished giving his statement he came over to Tempe and hugged her. She hugged him back. She felt safe with Booth.

"Are you ok?" he asked her, looking down at her, pushing a piece of hair that had fallen onto her face back behind her ear.

"Yeah, I'm fine now" she told him. She was just happy no one got hurt. She was also disappointed that her first date with Booth had gotten ruined by her stalker.

"Do you have any idea who that guy is?" he asked her.

"No, just that he may be a Brennanite"

"A what?"

"Brennanite, a fan from my website. I figured he must have been a fan" she told him.

"Oh" Booth said. He was just glad it was over.

"I'm sorry about our date" he said finally.

"Hey, as I said before, it's ok, as long as I can take a raincheck"

Booth chuckled and hugged her even tighter. He was happy either of them didn't get hurt. He leaned down and they kissed.
