"Ummm. I have to go."
Before he could even react, she had grabbed her shoes and was running out the door. A minute later, Booth's brain caught up with what had happened. Did she really just say she loved me? Booth thought, running out the door after her.
"BONES!" He yelled, after sprinting down the 7 flights of stairs to the ground floor. He looked around frantically. Where is she? She can't have run THAT fast... Booth also realized that Bones had a better knowledge of this area of town, and therefore could easily give him the slip.
"Excuse me sir, are you looking for Dr. Brennan?" asked the night guard.
"Yes! Where did she go?" Booth questioned, still panting from having run down the stairs. "Ran out the door. Took a . . . left I think. Running like her life depended on it, crying her eyes out. I asked what was wrong, but she just kept running." he explained, adjusting his baseball cap as he talked.
Booth swore. "Thanks a lot sir. I have to go." Booth ran out the door as well, pulling out his cell phone and dialing Angela.
"Hello?" Came the groggy reply.
"Ange? Listen, its Booth. I need your help. Brennan took off, I have to find her. Do you know where she might hide? I can't find her..." Booth rambled.
"Hide? Booth what's going on? Why did she run? WHAT DID YOU DO?" She was yelling now.
"Nothing Angela! She...um... kindofblurtedoutthatshelovesme." Booth said very quickly, explaining himself.
"What? Woo hoo! Way to go lover boy! Let me wake up Hodgie and Zack-o, we will help you look. You can check the lab, but she knows thats where we would look . . . so she probably won't be there..." Angela sighed. "I'll call you back once we are up and out the door, so we can figure out where we are going to look. Don't worry too much Booth. She will find her way home eventually." Angela said, trying to comfort the very worried Agent.
"Ok, I'm going to go check the lab anyway. See you in a few. Bye." Booth turned off his cell phone and hopped in his SUV, screeching towards the Jeffersonian.
Once he got there, he sprinted through the double doors and down the hallway to her office. It was dark and empty.
Quickly dialing Angela, Booth was relieved to hear that the guys had gotten up rather quickly, and were spreading out to search. Booth was to search 20 square blocks around the Jeffersonian, and then run to Sid's to see if the good doctor had turned up there.

After a few hours of searching, with no sign of Brennan; Angela, Zach and Hodgins were ready to give up. "She will come home eventually, she WILL come home eventually..." Ange repeated over and over and over, as if saying it a hundred times would make it come true.
Even Booth was ready to give up. That is, until a beagle ran up to him with something in it's mouth.

It was cold, and it was raining. She was soaking wet, sitting in some run-down dark alley and she was scared. What have I done? Brennan whimpered. Then something whimpered back. Suddenly alert, Brennan got up and crept towards the sound. Moving aside a cardboard box, she saw a dog. The dog was wet, shivering, and looked like it hadn't eaten in a few days.
"Hello little doggie. You all alone too? I know how you feel." sigh. "Come here... It's ok. Shhh." Bones crooned, trying to sooth the little beagle out into the open. Slowly, she crept towards Brennan. Brennan scooped the frightened dog up in her arms, petting her head and soothing her. Together they walked down the street in search of a somewhere warm and dry.

An hour later, Brennan and the newly christened 'Angel' sat in a small diner that was close to the lab; enjoying the warmth and food brought by a kind lady from the kitchen. Bones glanced down at the dog laying in the booth next to her. She was gnawing on a t-bone, and looking 100 better after a bath and some food. It was the same with Brennan.
Bones chuckled while thinking of how she named her new companion. The beagle had two black marks on her back that looked like wings. She was perfectly behaved, knew how to heal, and was very people friendly. "A little angel." she murmured, petting her head. She MUST have had some training at some point. She's just so well behaved... thought Brennan.
"Come on girl, time to go home. I think we have run enough." Wagging her tail, Angel jumped down from the booth and followed Brennan out the door.
As soon as they were on a deserted street, Brennan noticed just HOW quiet it was. Too quiet. . . she thought. Then, out of no where, a man jumped Brennan, pressing a rag doused in chloroform over her mouth. In a last attempt to save herself before the darkness consumed her, Bones reached up and took one of her earrings off, throwing it in the direction of Angel.
"Find Booth" she managed to gasp before she felt herself falling unconscious.
