'What did the doctors say?' Hodgins asked as he saw Angela coming towards them. She closed the door behind her silently. Zack kept staring through the window of the hospital room. He stared at his boss. He just couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe that she was lying there. So silently. So still. So alone.
Angela went to stand next to the two men and also looked through the window. Her eyes fell shortly on Booth who was sitting on one of the uncomfortable hospital chairs next to Brennan's bed. She had told him to take some rest, have something to eat. But he just wouldn't leave. She sighed. She had the feeling that he felt guilty.
She remembered Hodgins' question and swallowed deep. As her eyes left Brennan's still form she looked in Hodgins bright blue eyes. They looked tired too. She had to blink quickly to force her tears away. She didn't want to cry, there was already so much tension in the air.
BRENNAN
Brennan tried to open the door towards her office. At least, towards the office that Zack had said that was hers. Brennan frowned her brows in frustration as she now pushed her shoulder against the door and began to push again.
'It's hard to get in, isn't it?' A voice suddenly said behind her.
Brennan turned around quickly and saw Angela standing behind her.
'Ange?' Brennan asked relieved. 'Thank god! I --' Brennan stopped talking momentarily as she heard someone passing. Her eyes grew big and her throat went dry instantly as she saw Angela walking by. She looked from that Angela to the other Angela, the one that was standing right in front of her. The other Angela had her sketchbook against her chest and was deep in thought. She didn't even seem to notice they were there.
'What...Wha...' Brennan stammered, she couldn't get a single word out of her mouth. She kept looking to the Angela with the sketchbook and the Angela that was standing so quietly in front of her.
'That was Angela.' Angela explained dryly when she saw Brennan's shocked face.
Brennan kept staring at her.
' I know who she is!' Brennan uttered quickly and out of breath. ' I don't know who you are.' She continued paranoid as she looked the other Angela up and down.
'I am Angela.' The woman in front of her said as she smiled widely and cheekily. 'I am Angela too. But I am just an observer here.' She explained.
NOW
'She is still in a coma since last night. It can take...A long time...She may never wake up..' Angela told Hodgins and Zack with a trembling voice. She had just spoken to the doctor.
BRENNAN
'What is this?!' Brennan snapped angrily. She looked around her. Were there any camera's hanging there? Was someone taping her? Was this some kind of practical joke? Because she sure as hell didn't like it! And she was getting very angry now.
Angela shrugged casually and ignored Brennan's angry outburst. 'It seems like you can't get in.' She said as she pointed at the door.
'They said --.' Brennan began but she began again: 'Zack said that this is my office now.'
'It's hard to get between those walls you have built around you.'
'What are you talking about?' Brennan asked confused as her brows knitted together once again. Frustration, and irritation painted all over her features as she turned her body towards the walls around her old office and her eyes studied them quickly. She didn't understand what the fake Angela meant.
'What walls? What do you mean?' Brennan snapped confused and impatient.
NOW
'She looks so...Peaceful.' Zack said sadly as he stared at Brennan.
BRENNAN
Brennan rolled her eyes when it became clear to her that the fake Angela didn't answer her. Brennan kept trying.
'Who is in there?' She snapped angrily.
'You.'
'Me?' Brennan asked sarcastically. She let out a mocking laugh. This was just too much. ' You might not have noticed it yet, but I am here.'
Angela smiled at that. She shook her head. 'So am I, aren't I?'
'Look I am really getting sick of this game now!' Brennan snapped as she stepped in the fake Angela's personal space. 'You'd better tell me what is going on here before I get really angry. If you think I will play this game, you are wrong!' She had lost her patience now.
' This is not a game Brennan. Believe me.' Angela answered, and her eyes stood sad.
Brennan crossed her arms in front of her chest stubbornly.
'You have got a problem. Because I am not going to do anything before I know what is going on!' Brennan stated sternly.
'Then that's your choice.' Angela said in a serene voice as she shrugged again. ' You should know though, that the sooner you cooperate, the sooner it will be over. You will have to follow this path, whether you want to or not.' She said as she began to dissapear slowly.
'What? Wait!' Brennan shouted astonished as she saw Angela dissapearing. She reached for Angela to stop her. 'NO! Don't go! Wait! I...I d...' I don't know what to do! But she couldn't get those words over her lips. She never could, because she always knew what to do. And now that fake Angela was gone, she had to admit to herself that she was getting frightened instead of angry. And fear was not something that she liked. It was just another feeling that she didn't liked.
NOW
'Do you think she can hear us? Hear Booth? Does she know that we are here for her?' Zack asked softly.
BRENNAN
Brennan tried to open the door to her so called office again but it didn't work. AGAIN.
'What is going on here?!' Brennan snapped annoyed as she slammed her fist against the door.
'You have made too many choices out of fear Brennan.'
NOW
Angela sighed as her eyes left Brennan again to rest on her colleguas.
'The nurse said that they don't know that yet with comatose patients. Some of them who awoke said that they were in some sort of dreamworld, others said they were at a peaceful Island, and others never noticed anything. But it seems to help, talking to them. Talking to her.'
BRENNAN
Brennan turned around to see the fake, irritating Angela but she wasn't there. There was no one there. Just she. And that voice.
'What are you talking about! I am not afraid! No one frightens me!' Brennan called out angrily. 'And what choices?!'
'You'll see.' The drifting voice said as it dissappeared.
NOW
'I hope she is at a peaceful Island then.' Hodgins said softly. His bright blue eyes stood somber and tired.
'I hope so too.'Angela said as she looked at Brennan again.
BRENNAN
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' Brennan shouted at the top of her lungs.
'GET ME OUT OF HERE ! Brennan shouted as she slammed against the door again.
