So i decided to write this whenever I'm inspired. Still not sure if they'll just be one shots based on episodes or if I should develop the story forming in my head more. This one has spoilers for 6x09. My take on what Booth was doing in Woodland. Anyway, I just realized to day that I should really start doing this:

Disclaimer: I own neither Booth nor Bones, nor even their dialogue in this chapter, all I own is Booth's thoughts. Mmm, sounds naughty.


Chapter 2: The Rescue in the Rain

Booth's clothes were pretty casual for what he was about to do. Almost didn't seem right, as if his clothes should convey the gravity of his presence. But it didn't really matter no one was going to see him, anyway.

The rain sluiced down Booth's head, getting into his eyes, obstructing his view of the slum apartment building, where his target was. Yet another psycho that plotted against the United States and Booth was about to shut him down. I can't believe I'm a fricking CIA spook, if Hodgins knew about this, I'd definitely be out of the running as godfather, was his last thought as affable Seeley Booth was replaced with the professional Staff Sargeant Booth. And then he was gone, the professional set up the rifle on the ledge of the bridge, forgetting his aggravations, instead focusing on compensating for the reduced visibility. He was just about ready to take his shot when a cab pulled up in front of the bridge. He'd have to wait until the cab and the passenger were out of sight to take the shot. His gaze still on the target, he noticed that the passenger was taking her time. Sparing the woman a glance he saw her walk towards the middle of the road, seemingly mesmerized by the road reflector.

Out of nowhere, his gut sensed danger. The woman was in danger and his gut was telling him to run. So Booth ran, he ran down to the street, rushing to get to her before the car that had just abruptly turned the corner could. His gut urged him to run faster, all of a sudden Booth knew who the woman was. His gut screamed at him that this was his Bones and Booth yelled right along with it. "Bones!" His fear increasing a hundred-fold as he realized that the car was almost on top of her now. But then his hands were on her, grabbing her under the arms, he pulled her with him to safety.

"Bones! What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know. Following you to a bad part of town and saving your life. You know. The usual. Your turn." The lie spilled out of his lips effortlessly. Is this what he'd become? The kind of man who lied and kept secrets from his partner?

"Lauren came to Woodland to beg the family of a brain-dead boy to give his heart to Sam Dworsky."

This was about the case? Booth switched from Ranger mode to Special Agent mode in seconds. "Oh, so what? They... They were the ones that killed her?

"No, Booth. No. When Lauren was really disappointed or upset, It's like Sweets said. She couldn't handle the intense emotion, so she'd do something dangerous."

"Right. Like coming here in the middle of the night?" He said trying to drive his point across. Why couldn't she understand that this was dangerous? They'd found a victim who'd been stabbed and bludgeoned, an obvious indicator that this was not a safe neighborhood. But Bones just couldn't understand that.

"I'm not her." Wait, what? She thought she was like Lauren Eames? "We're...We're not the same person at all. It's just the universe turned upside down for three days."

"What happened to her?"

"She bought the heroin for the danger of it. To feel something. She put it in her pocket. She got hit by a car." Booth couldn't believe that Brennan was basing all of this off conjecture, she never did that. "Just like I almost did." Booth thanked God, she didn't, he was even feeling a little grateful to the CIA for placing him in the right place at the right time. "The impact explains the defensive wounds. She struck her head over there." She pointed to the yellow reflector that she'd been so engrossed in minutes before. "So it was the driver that buried her in the park."

"I can't prove any of this." The corner of her mouth lifted in an attempt to smile, in an attempt to get him to believe her.

"I know."

"But do you still believe me?"

"Yeah." Booth smiled just for her, he hadn't smiled like that since they'd come back. "Of course I do. All right? Let me take you home. Come on."

You can definitely expect a third chapter, after all we still have the car scene to analyze right? I just thought this was a good place to end it. Oh and I'd really appreciate it if you told me what you think, thanks for reading.
