You'll be with me...

...Stop breathing

If I don't see you anymore...'

Camden, Tennesse; Midnight

Booth yawned and glanced at the clock. Midnight. He was in Tennesse and had to make it through Missouri to make it all the way to Chicago, Illinois. He had to keep driving and yet, he was beat to the core.

Tossing his sunglasses aside, he rubbed his right eye. Brennan and Parker were all he had left in the world considering family. He wasn't about to let them get hurt or killed because of him.

No way.


Downtown Chicago, Illinois; 12:22 AM

Re-tied and re-gagged once again, Brennan looked at Parker, who was now next to her, tied tight. Both of their tied wrists were hanging on a large hook above them.

The slash on his neck was bandaged with her torn shirt piece and she had been able to stop the bleeding, but knew the boy would need medical help as soon as Booth got to them.

Hopefully.

Brennan hated thinking negatively. She wanted to believe that Booth would be there in time. That he would save them both by the time it was said to be that he should be there.

"Doctor Brennan."

Brennan's head snapped over to Parker, who had managed to slip his gag off. She, unfortunately, could not do that.

"Is Daddy going to be here soon?"

Brennan closed her eyes and sighed. She couldn't talk. She couldn't slip the gag off and tell him what she wanted to. She wanted to tell him that Booth was coming. Would like to. That his daddy loved him and was going to be there for him.

"Doctor Brennan...I'm scared," Parker stared at her with wet eyes.

Looking the boy straight in the eyes, Brennan told him the best that she could, "I am, too," but it had unfortunately not come out the way she had wanted it to. Unclear. But she was sure that Parker Booth understood her. For he smiled at her slightly and told her with the best confidence he could have in a five-year-old, "We'll be okay."


Booth bit into a granola bar as the sun rose over the horizon. It was seven in the morning and he was half-way through Tennessee, going out into Missouri. He figured he would stop very quickly for gas in St. Louis, then speed on all the way into Illinois.

He pulled out his cell and programmed it into the GPS Satellite. He punched in Missouri and it estimated him into three hours from the state. He grinned, knowing he could make it. He would make it.

His cell rang and yawning, he answered it rather groggily.

"Sounds as though you're tired, Agent Booth."

"Considering the no sleep I got it's not a surprise at all."

"I understand you are in Tennessee."

"Heading out," Booth made a right turn.

"It's a shame. You'll have to go so much faster if you don't want anything to happen."

Booth's heart lept. "What do you mean? What did you do to them?" His hand gripped the phone.

"Let me put it this way, Mr. Booth. If you do not make it to downtown Chicago by the preferred time, I'm afraid Doctor Brennan will witness your son's death...then face her own."

Booth couldn't breathe. He couldn't see, couldn't think. And the next thing he knew, he wasn't even there at all.

More revs make the story go round!!
