Chapter Three – Time Stops
A/N: As a note, but you don't have to, it may be nice to listen to the song as you read this. Especially 5:55 onward. If you start it there, it should time out right. I hope it does. I tried it, and it worked. But I may read at a different pace than you guys. But the song should pick up in pace right as you approach the end, and then it would have the desired effect. Anyways, enjoy! Oh, and again, the song is "Time Stops" by Explosions In The Sky. And start it at 5:55 right when you start reading this, if you have the song and would like to do it.
Booth and Bones are driving along the road, heading back from a scene, bickering as usual.
"God is a zombie."
"He is not." Booth said through gritted teeth.
"He came back from the dead. He's a zombie."
"Bones, stop insulting my beliefs." He growled.
"Fine." She huffed.
"What if I told you science isn't always strong?"
"I'd say you're full of shit."
"What about my gut, huh?"
"Yeah, your gut has been right a lot. But so has my science."
"Bones! Just let it go!" He growled, and turned to glare at her. His eyes went wide as he looked past her.
"BONES!" He yelled. She whipped her head around and saw the car coming their way.
Time seemed to slow down. Everything happened in slow motion; the car approaching faster, everything. She grabbed onto his hand instinctually, locking eyes with him. They held on to each other, as there was a loud bang with the impact of metal on metal.
