Help To Gain Air
Chapter 2
After what seemed to be several hours of trying to get Temperance out of her unresponsive state, Hodgins leaned back in the leather chair.
"Dr. Brennan. We are running out of air. Why can't you hear me? I popped the tires for extra oxygen. I don't know how much time we have." The scientist put his head in his hands.
"What are we going to do?" He asked the woman who was blankly staring at the window covered in rocks.
B&B
At the Jeffersonian, Cam, Angela, Zack, and Booth scurried wildly around searching for clues as to where Hodgins and Temperance are. They knew three things. 1. The gravedigger took them. 2. If they didn't come up with the huge sum of money, Hodgins and Temperance would die. 3. At this moment, they were running out of air.
B&B
The dark, dank space left Temperance struggling for breath. After struggling to get out of the trunk for what seemed forever, she gave up. Her lung felt like bursting and she was light headed. Her body went still as she thought about her death. Was this the way she would go? She always thought she'd die from a beating, but this was worse. Dieing from the lack of oxygen was far more horrible to her. Was it wrong to feel that dying from a more natural death was far scarier then dying from murder?
Murder, guns, and bombs are horrible, but in some sense it is controlled. Though, cancers, illnesses, earthquakes, and lack of air felt more frightening and chaotic.
Then again, it was her foster father's doing that placed her such a position.
She needed to get out! She couldn't give up like this! Once again she started to fight to free herself from the trunk.
B&B
Dr. Brennan started screaming and kicking against the door of the car.
"Dr. Brennan!" Hodgins frantically yelled. He called her name again and touched her shoulder calmly.
"What! Hodgins?" Her blue eyes dulled in confusion. "What are you doing here?"
"Dr. Brennan! I'm so glad to see you awake…"
"Where are we?" She brought her knees to her chest.
"We are buried underground."
"What? How?"
"Gravedigger." Hodgins' voice cracked at the name. He tried his best to stay strong because it was obvious that Dr. Brennan needed him now.
"We need to get out. We do…. We need to." She wiped her head around to look at the back of the car for something that could help them escape.
After finding her smashed cell phone, they began to wire it to make a quick message to the Jeffersonian.
B&B
Once the message was sent in, the partial squint squad and Booth rushed off the location where they hoped Temperance and Hodgins would be.
Booth took deep breaths to slow his fast beating heart as he looked at the large pit of sandy gravel. He prayed to God for a clue to help him find them.
Angela felt tears prickle her eyes as she surveyed the massive area of dirt. She didn't know what she would do without Hodgins. She truly loved him. And how could she live without her best friend?
Zack tried to calm his nerves. Hodgins was always a friend to him, his only friend besides his family. He even lived in the guesthouse of Hodgins manor. He had always looked up Dr. Brennan. She treated him like a college and chose him to be her assistant while he got his doctorate. Where would he ever be without her?
Cam tried to keep her strong façade going as long as possible. It was so difficult when she knew that two of her best colleges were stuck underground somewhere suffocating. She may have not been completely welcome when becoming in charge of this group in the Jeffersonian, but now they were family. She loved each member dearly and couldn't imagine work being half as enjoyable as it is with Dr. Brennan and Dr. Hodgins.
All of a sudden, a poof of dirt erupted from the ground and Booth was sprinting to the spot. He hurriedly scooped at the Earth trying to clear the dirt away. His hand clasped another and he pulled heavily.
Dr. Hodgins appeared from the ground with a thick layer of soot coating him.
"Get Dr. Brennan." He coughed out.
Cam, Angela, Zack, and Booth dug at the ground. Finally Booth clasped Brennan's arm. They all pulled her out quickly laying her next to Hodgins.
In the distance they could hear sirens screaming.
Cam jogged up the hill to bring the paramedics to them.
Angela and Zack huddled around Hodgins smiling and laughing. Angela leaned down and kissed Hodgins sweetly and Zack gave his friend a big hug.
Booth knelt down next to Temperance and held her tightly.
"Bones." She didn't respond. "Bones?" Booth lightly shook her as she continued to stare blankly ahead of her. Booth listened to her heaving gasps and tucked her hair behind her ears.
The ambulance peeled down the steep hill and stopped in front of everyone. The paramedics stepped out of the van and knelt by Hodgins and Temperance.
"This one is unresponsive. It seems to have been the traumatic stress has led her to this condition. Physically she has an open cut on the back of her neck and her leg seems to be quite swelled. It needs to be x-rayed." After placing oxygen masks over both scientists the men names Ronnie and Will loaded them onto the stretchers and into the van.
"We are taking them to the nearest hospital, you can see them there."
They were all thrilled that Hodgins and Temperance were safe, though Booth couldn't shake the image of his partner staring dully at nothing at all. The partial squint squad loaded Booth's SUV and headed to the hospital.
