"We here." Booth said as he removed his keys and hopped out of the SUV. "There should be a team and a few ambulances arriving anytime."
The gang walked towards the edge of the cliff in front of them. "They're down there." Cam said as they approached.
As the group reached the edge, Angela gasped.
"Oh my God." Cam said, under her breath.
Before them was a valley at least two miles by one mile wide.
"We cant search this whole place." Zach informed them.
"Angela." Booth said as he grabbed her shoulders. "Can you narrow the signal down anymore?"
She was sobbing fully now. "No Booth I cant. They're at the east end though, the signal tower did reach all the way through the valley."
"Ok." Booth flipped open his phone and dialed a number. "It's Booth. Did you pick up anybody?" Booth listened and relayed the information o the squints. "They found someone and they're bring him here. Ok thanks." Booth hung up.

"Its getting harder to breathe." Jack said, struggling as he spoke.
"Shh. They'll find us, we just have to conserve our oxygen." Tempe replied, her face was damp with sweat and tears, eyes were closed.
"If one of us is dead or passed out at least it will give the other one longer to live, wont it?" Jack asked, curiously.
"Only a few minutes." She replied, not understanding what he was insinuating.
"Minutes are better than nothing."
When the box went quiet again Temperance got slightly nervous. "Jack?" She asked opening her eyes. "Jack!" She screamed at the sight of him passed out across from her. Temperance checked his breathing and heart rate. His breaths were shallow and his heart beat weak but he was still alive.
Tempe leaned forward and pressed her lips to his forehead to show her appreciation. He's still alive. She thought. But he wont be if they don't get her soon.

"The ambulances are here." Zach shouted from where he was digging.
"Zachy they wont do
much good if we don't have people to help.
Cam replied from
her shallow whole.
"Do you think Agent Booth has gotten the guy to talk yet?" Zach looked over to the small tent.
"I'm sure he will."

Angela sat drawing a picture at one end of the canopy while Booth paced back and forth in front of the table.
"If you show us we'll make you a deal." Booth bargained with the perp.
"No way." The man was middle-aged with a shaved head and tattoos that cover his arms and necks. "It's not my fault that bitch stuck her nose where it didn't belong."
That set Booth off. The agent dived over the table, unholstering his gun as he landed on top of the man. The gun was pointed to the man's temple as Booth yelled. "Where are they!?"
"Here Booth." Angela said as she approached the men cautiously.
Booth took the drawing from her and held it in front of the man's face. "This is my partner and this young ladies boyfriend." Booth nodded his head in Angela's direction. "If they die I will kill you and you have know idea what kind of horrible things that I could do to the rest of your family."

"Tempe. How are you doing down there?" Booth asked as he watched several FBI agents dig in front of him.
"Booth… it's bad… Jack's unconscious." She was gasping for air in between words.
"Okay. We're almost there Bones. We've almost got you." Booth assured. He covered the mouthpiece as he turned to yell. "Get the medics on stand by!"
"Booth?" She called her voice weak and scratchy.
"Yeah Bones, I'm here." He answered. When Temperance didn't respond Booth got anxious. "Bones? Temperance!"
AHHH! I'm making myself nervous!!!! Next chapter up tonight!
