(Bone's POV)

What was Booth doing here! Had he come when he heard I was in trouble? That certainly sounded like him. Running into a dangerous situation without any thought to his own personal safety. As I pondered this odd occurrence Booth had started to address the man.

"Let them go." Booth said.

"Oh I don't think so."

"Didn't you hear me? I'm FBI, I can have the might of the entire American government on you head."

"That's if the U.S. government learns of your misfortunate demise. Besides my sources say you're on vacation."

"That may be, but I am always prepared. That's why I have Chick Norris outside with a BB gun."

Wait, what? Who was Chuck Norris and how was him having a BB gun going to help us? Suddenly doubt filled me. Had Booth gone crazy?

Hearing this the man just stared at Booth. Then his lips started to twitch then he started to laugh, Not a sinister laugh but a genuine sound of amusement. Soon Booth joined in. That's when I knew Booth had gone crazy. The Booth I knew would never laugh with an enemy. The next thing Booth did shocked me even more. He lowered his gun walked towards the man and gave him a hug!

"Ha ha, I've missed your crazy ass."

"So have I my friend." Said the tanned man returning the hug. "Indeed I haven't seen you for many years."

"Well I'm a Federal Agent now. I can't really hang out with pirates," smirked Booth. "So why'd you call, Asinobi?"

My mind was reeling. Booth knew our captors?! Apparently he had known our captors for a long time! How could he possibly know such dangerous people? Where was the morally righteous Seeley Booth I had grown to know?

"Ah, to business then," said the newly identified Asinobi as he walked towards us. "We found two thieves today at the dock."

"Thieves? That's terrible, but I don't know why that concerns me," said Booth as he looked at us in confusion. He obviously couldn't tell who we were.

"Oh it does old friend, because they were stealing something close to both our hearts."

"What? What are you talking about Asinobi?" Said Booth as he put his hands in back pockets.

"This is what I am talking about." Said Asinobi as he pointed at the Temperance.

Booth's eyes widened. "Oh Shit, Asinobi is that the Temperance?"

"Now you see the importance of our discussion." Said our captor has he walked towards us. "Today I captured these thieves with your boat Booth. At first everyone was very happy to see the Temperance considering how many years it's been since we've seen you, but then we saw these thieves walk off your boat and we decided to take things into our own hands. When I heard you were coming I decided to wait for you before we punished them."

By now I was very confused. How did Booth know this man and why was he holding his head in his hand?

"Asinobi, I hate to interrupt but these "thieves" wouldn't happen to be a Caucasian couple, brown haired, one them is FBI?"

"Why yes Seeley, that's a pretty accurate description of them. You know them?"

"Yeah, I let them borrow the boat."

If this situation wasn't as serious as it was I would be laughing. Asinobi's mouth was forming an "O" and he looked quite abashed.

"Well," he said clapping his hands, "this is all your fault."

"My fault!" exclaimed Booth, "Did I tell you to kidnap two people because of the boat they were on!?"

"Well I never thought you'd be so stupid as to give away your boat!"

"Well Asinobi, you already know how stupid I can be. Why does this surprise you? Speaking of stupid, who kidnapped a Federal agent?"

"Your right I should have expected something like this from you and he's not a Federal agent if he's on vacation."

Though this subject was very interesting anthropologically speaking as it showed how Booth acted around people he had none for a very long time, my wrist were starting to burn. So I tried to get their attention but all that came out was a very odd noise. Luckily, this was still adequate enough to divert the two from their conversation.

"Oh crap, Asinobi you think we should cut them loose?"

"I believe that would be for the best." Asinobi stepped towards us and pulled out a knife he had concealed on his waist.

Booth walked towards him with a quelling gesture, "Now let's not be too hasty. Maybe I should go?"

"What? Why?"

"Well I did kind of get them kidnapped during their vacation."

"Are you afraid of the agent Booth? That doesn't sound like you at all," said Asinobi in a surprised tone.

"Actually it's more the girl I'm worried about. She's got a mean kick."

I grunted through my gag. I found that very insulting. But Booth might have a valid point, I was not very happy with him.

"Oh grow a pair man," said Asinobi as he quickly covered the remaining distance and cut our ropes.

I wasted no time in pulling off my hood and gag and glaring at Booth. All he did was smile back at me with that aggravating grin. "You have a lot of explaining to do," I growled

Booth's grin grew a little forced as he surpressed a wince.
