"The phone is located right.. here!" Angela pointed towards the screen in front of her, and the Squint Squad was grouped around her.
"What I don't get, is that, he wanted us to find the phone. Why?" Hodgins furrowed his eyebrows a bit.
"First off," Brennan spoke up. "It could be a 'she'. Second, this guy is playing a mix of Epps and the Gravedigger. He is like Epps in the fact that this is just one large puzzle, and he's like the Gravedigger because he, or she, is hiding a person with a death threat and in demands of a ransom. I just don't get why they are doing it , nor do I have the faintest clue who they could be. This one will be a challenge." Brennan was pacing like a wild animal.
"Well, we can start off by finding the phone. Where's Agent Perotta?" Cam looked side to side, wondering where the woman was.
"Oh, Barbie is talking to some people at the Bureau. I'll fill her in later. Wheres Sweets? I need him." Cam looked at Brennan funnily, but didn't question the Doctor's reasonings.
"Come on!" Brennan said, grabbing her keys.

"Teddy, what do you mean she loves me?" Booth shot a glare in the direction of the ghost's voice.
"Well, I honestly don't know how to make it any more obvious to you..." Teddy rolled his eyes.
"Well, whatever. Lets focus on getting out of here first." Booth began to fidget with the ropes. Teddy than also began to play with them, finding the ends and beginning to unravel the mess.
Within minutes, Booth was free of his restraints. He stood up and shook off, feeling slightly dizzy. On the back of his neck were two burn marks.
'How deja-vu...' He thought, laughing a bit. He put his hands in front of him, still blinded by the darkness, an walked forward, looking for a wall of some sort.
About twenty feet in front of him, Booth's hands touched a smooth, cold, metallic substance. He began to move to his left, searching for a door. A minute later, he stumbled across what felt like a vault-like opening.
"Teddy, come help me!"
"Where are you, Sarge?"
"Follow my voice. "
And for the next minute, Booth kept saying 'here' to help Teddy find his way over to him.

"Found it!" Hodgins held the cell phone in his hand like a Heisman trophy. "King of the lab, my friend. King of the lab." He kept smiling. Brennan quickly snatched it out of his hand, flipping it open. One missed call, one new message. The missed call was obviously from Perotta's cell phone, so Brennan clicked 'exit.' It was the text message she was eagerly wanting to read.
One new message from: Self. Smart person for sending a message to themself, no way to trace it.
"Hello. This is the Black Hole." No shit, dumbass. "Agent Booth is alive. He wanted me to give you flowers, but Allison was in the way. Goodbye." Brennan stared at the message for a while, before turning to Sweets.
"Allison was in the way? Allison who?" She looked at him like he HAD to know the answer, but he just shrugged. Angela looked like she had just remembered something.
"I know!" She smiled."The next clue is at the old Flora's Flowers shop. It shut down not too long ago after after a girl named Allison Flanners filed a law suit that left them broke, and out of business. The building is still there!" She didn't have to finish, for Brennan was already starting up her car and yelling "Lets go!" out the window.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Alright Teddy! To the left!"
The two men pulled the wheel hard, and it slowly began to twist. As twist after twist came, it seemed like it would never end, but after five minutes of hard work, the door released, opening the up to a small room with three doors. Booth went to the first door on his left. When he opened it, very cautiously, a jack-in-the-box like clown popped out with a bloody knife, causing Booth to scream in a very un-manly like fashion.
"Fuck! What the hell?" Booth had slammed the door in the dummy's face. Teddy was cracking up in the other corner.
"What? You know I hate clowns!" Booth's heart was still threatening to win the Kentucky Derby.
"Yes, and so does this person." He let out a chuckle. "Which means, they know you well, Sarge."
"What?" Booth looked mortified. "But, who?"
"Dunno Sarge. Dunno."
XOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
"Brennan." Brennan picked up her phone, not bothering to check the caller I.D.
"Hey, this is Agent Perotta. Where the hell are you, Dr. Brennan?" She sounded pissed.
"Working on the case in my office." Brennan lied.
"You are not in your office!" Perotta was now yelling through the phone.
"Oh really? And how do you know this?"
"Because I am standing in your God damned office!" Perotta stomped her foot.
"Oh." Brennan felt kind of embarrassed.
"Yeah, oh. Where are you Temperance?" She had said Temperance with a slight sneer.
"On my way to Flora's Flower Shop, Peyton." Brennan mocked Perotta's tone perfectly.
" I will be there, and we will have a discussion about this later." And with that, Brennan laughed and hung up the phone, with no formal goodbyes.
Perotta showed up to the flower shop ten minutes after the squints. She was still fuming, and when she caught up to the Squints, she let loose.
"What the hell are you going for? We need to stick together to find Agent Booth." She glared at them, making sure she made eye contact with each.
"Dr. Brennan said you were in a meeting. She also said she would fill you in later." Hodgins spoke up, and Brennan was about to smack him.
"I was in the restroom, for heaven's sake! You need me there all the time! What if there had been a bomb, or something?" Perotta was getting to an unnatural shade of red.
"Then we would have ran out. I know how to detect a bomb, and I have a gun. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself!" Brennan stomped her foot. Perotta moved in closer.
"Well, I want to find Booth. You can go do whatever, but I will find him." Perotta pushed Brennan's shoulder.
Brennan pushed back. "Not if I find him first." And then Perotta went to shove Brennan's shoulder again, but this was it. Brennan had had enough. She grabbed Perotta's hand and fell towards the ground, and so the two began to fight, the traditional way. Hodgins realised what was happening and pulled out his new camera phone, and began to record a video. Booth would kill to see this when he gets back...
They rolled on the floor, biting and pulling the other's hair. Even though she wasn't nearly as skilled as Brennan, Perotta was putting up a damn good fight. Angela and Cam ran into the tangle of the two cursing and screaming women.
Brennan's phone, which fell out of her pocket and was laying five feet away from her and Perotta, rang. Sweets bent down and picked it up, not taking his eyes off the women.
"Dr. Temperance Brennan's phone, Lance Sweets talking."
"Dr. Sweets, where is Dr. Brennan, and why isn't she answering the phone?" Shit, it was Cullen.
"Uh, she is in the restroom. Can I take a message?"
"Get off of me, Perotta! Sweets, give me my damn phone!" Brennan lifted her hand up, palm open.
" Sweets, why is Perotta 'on' Dr. Brennan?" Sweets gulped. Cullen sounded pissed.
"Imma let you talk to her."
"Damn it, Sweets! Whats going on?" Sweets had already given the phone to Brennan.
"Brennan!" She said in the phone, panting.
"Please, don't tell me you two are shooting a 'Girls gone Wild' video."
"A what? No, we are fighting."
"How? Why? Whats going on?"
"She's trying to hide evidence from me, Cullen!" Perotta screamed in the background.
"Shut up, Perotta, you're the one who is wrestling me!"
"You're hiding evidence? She's wrestling you? What the hell is going on?"
"Just two women, seeing who is Queen of the Lab."
"Well, there will be no 'Queen.' There is, however, one one king, ME, and all you little servants. You two servents will be seeing me in my liar at 8 A.M tomarrrow. You clear?" Cullen was pissed.
"Yes sir."
"Let me talk to Perotta."
Oh, shit!
