A/N – Hello. I am sorry in the very long delay of an update. As said at the end of chapter 6 I had just moved house and was pregnant. Well I had a baby girl Oct 22nd and named her Emily for anyone interested and I've been so busy with her just haven't had chance to update! Hopefully now I can

Benjamin wanted revenge. He wanted Constance. He wasn't used to getting what he wanted, if he couldn't have something he would just take it and that's exactly what he planned to do. Take.
He was planning quite a few things that evening. Not just taking but perhaps a bit of pain, maybe a bit of torture and whatever else took his fancy. This would be killing Booth after he had watched Brennan being tortured and taken. He had a little island not far from the one he lived on at the moment, not many people knew about it which he was thankful for. All was coming into plan and tomorrow night … then plan would come to a bloody end.
The next morning Brennan awoke to find Booth sitting on the end of her bed, she rubbed her eyes and brushed a hand through her hair/
"I wish you wouldn't do that, I don't look too pretty first thing in the morning."
Booth smiled.
"You always look pretty, even when you're covered in bodily fluids. Especially mine." With that he quickly moved forward and starting kissing her all over, she couldn't help but laugh. She pushed Booth off her and he landed on the bedroom floor with a thud which made her laugh even more.
"That… that was uncalled for!" he said pointing a finger in her direction.
"No actually, I think you deserved that."
"Anyway, I came to tell you tonight I am treating you to dinner."
"Pizza?" she asked with a smile.
"No! Not tonight anyway, a proper dinner. Suit and tie job for me, sexy dress for you … I hope."
"I'm not sure if I have a sexy dress with me but knowing Angela she's probably hidden one somewhere around here. All that girl thinks about is sex."
"Nothing wrong with that." Booth proudly said with a smile.
"Why are you treating me anyway?"
"Because, its Benjamin's new restaurant and it opens tonight and we're going to be there."
"So its just case work really?" she asked, feeling a little disappointed.
"Yea, I have no idea what the FBI thought we could get from stalking this guy but so far we have nothing; they need an inside job."
"Sorry I couldn't be more help with the whole flirting thing, I'm sure that would have gotten more results."
"Don't worry about it; you are not safe with that guy that's for sure! Now get dressed, its breakfast time and then we're hitting the beach."
Booth left her room a few seconds later leaving Brennan feeling quite let down and disappointed, she really thought Booth was taking her for a nice romantic meal which didn't involve the case but she had thought wrong.
She threw the covers off her body and let out a sigh, she didn't understand him sometimes. One minute he acted like she was the more important thing in the world and then the next his case was.
She rummaged through her drawers and pulled out some shorts and a baggy t-shirt. She didn't feel like hitting the beach today, she wanted to go shopping. Retail therapy always worked and she hadn't had chance to have a good nosey around the shops here yet, she was even hoping to pick up something for tonight's meal, something sexy but not too revealing.
Brennan could hear Booth rustling up breakfast in the kitchen and the faint smell of coffee tickled her nostrils, she loved Booths coffee. She threw on her clothes, combed her hair and applied little make up.
Less is more she thought to herself as she grabbed her bag.

That evening as Booth sat downstairs waiting for Brennan as usual he was thinking about how great this undercover case had been for them both. He had been able to get more intimate with her but he was afraid to get too close, he loved her like he had loved no other and he didn't want to jeopardise that. He smoothed out his black pants and checked himself out in the mirror again. Clean shaven, hair all in place, light blue shirt ironed. He looked good, not too smart and not too casual. He just hoped Brennan had picked something nice up; she had been out shopping for 5 hours earlier that day.
When she finally emerged she hadn't disappointed. Red dress, showing just the right amount of cleavage and leg. For once she wasn't wearing the chunky necklaces and earrings, this evening she had chosen a silver chain and matching earrings.
"I feel over dressed compared to you." She said looking at Booth, the light blue shirt making his deep brown eyes sparkle even more.
"I'm not sure if that's a compliment." He replied. "But you look great, and anyway you're meant to be the centre of attention. Benjamin fancies you after all, not me."
Brennan rolled her eyes and checked herself over in the mirror before Booth pulled her out the door and to there rental car.
10 minutes later they where sat in the restaurant being handed there menus.
"Don't look at the menu yet, talk to me for a little." Booth said.
"Why? I'm hungry."
"Because Benjamin isn't even here yet, we can't leave before he even turns up. He has to see you."
"You know I'm sick of this. I'm not fish bait! I am a person you know, next undercover case you get you can count me out. I'd rather be in the lab right now examining bones."
Booth raised his eyebrows, he was thinking Brennan had been out in the sun for too long earlier but he kept his mouth closed about that and ordered them both a drink.
A few hours later they where finally on the main course and Benjamin had showed up with a few tough looking guys but he wasn't around for long. Within 20 minutes he had left again and Booth suspected he was up to something.
"Can't believe how pointless this was." Brennan mumbled after eating a forkful of pasta.
"Least it got us out for the evening."
Brennan sighed and grabbed her bag. She had had enough and was going home to lie down. She left the restaurant without even saying goodbye to Booth who looked quite confused.
He quickly paid the bill and caught up to her walking down the street towards the shore.
"Hey, wait up!" he called.
This made Brennan walk a little bit faster and Booth had to jog to catch up to her, he grabbed her arm and made her stop.
"What's wrong?"
She
looked into his big brown eyes and sighed.
"Nothing." She
pulled away and continued walking.
"Now I know when a woman says that there really is something wrong, I wasn't born yesterday."
"Just leave me alone, I need some space."
Booth sighed and followed her anyway.
"I'm not leaving you to walk back by yourself, I'll come with you."
They walked for a bit in silence, just listening to the waves crashing on the shore only a few feet away from them. Brennan looked up into the sky, the moon was so full and beautiful, and she loved the way it glimmered into the ocean.
They could both see the house not far away now and Booth was trying to work up the courage to say something, anything to break the ice but it seemed his brain had switched off and all he could think about was how gorgeous Brennan looked in the moonlight.
"Did you leave the lights on?" she asked.
Booth frowned.
"No, I didn't turn any on. It was light when we left …"
They looked at each other for a few seconds then Booth told her to stay there while he went and checked out the house, she saw him grab the gun from his ankle holster a few feet up. Brennan couldn't just stay where she was though, she started walking forward, slowly at first then getting faster. She didn't like the feel of this, something was wrong.
As she reached the back porch steps she heard something behind her, before she could turn and look everything went black.

Benjamin looked down at Brennan's lifeless body, it had been bought aboard his speed boat and now he was just waiting for his guys to bring back Booth. He knew they wouldn't be long; it was 4 against 1 after all. He was very pleased his plan had worked.
Divide and conquer; he thought to himself. Worked like a charm.
He didn't want to hit Brennan but he knew there was no other she would go with him and he already knew how strong she was, she had over powered him at the house a few days ago.
A few minutes later Booth was thrown onto the boat, 2 guys also climbed in while the other 2 got in a different boat.
"Any problems?" Benjamin asked.
"A little struggle. Nothing we couldn't handle."
Benjamin nodded and grinned.
Time to put his other plan into action now.
He always got what he wanted after all …
