Buried For: 7 hours, 22 minutes"I'm sure they'll find us soon," Lily told Lu quietly. Lu wasn't doing too good. Whatever had hit her had hurt her internal organs Lily guessed, and she was pretty good at that from working in a morgue.
"Yeah," Lu panted, she was in so much pain. "Lily, I'm glad I'm with you and not somebody else. Everybody else treats me like I'm a bad person because I slept with Woody. It wasn't my idea exactly, it's not like Woody stopped it."
"Shhh… it's ok Lu," Lily told Lu quietly. Lily didn't exactly like Lu, but she didn't hate her.
"No it's not Lily, I know that I don't seem very likeable at all, ever, but I try to keep things professional. I don't know why I'm so hard on everybody, and I knew that Woody and I would break up. I knew we wouldn't last. He loves Jordan, there's no doubt about it."
"Everybody knows that Lu, but this isn't the time to talk about it," Lily told her, it was getting warmer and warmer in there.
"I don't think I'm going to live Lily," Lu said quietly. "I'm not stupid, I know there's something completely wrong inside, and I can't believe I've stayed awake this long, but I don't think that I'm going to make it until they come. On the plus side, you'll have a longer time to live."
"Oh Lu, you'll make it," Lily's cell phone began ringing and she snatched it up and answered it. "Hello?"
"Lily, we're near where you are, Nige's got the trace on your cell up and running and we're almost there. Keep yourself alive Lils. I've got to go," it was Jordan, she was rushing through the sentence and Lily could hear sirens in the background.
"All right Jordan, hurry, Lu's really hurt… Where are we anyways?" Lily had to ask.
"North Carolina," Jordan told her. "Watch it Woody!" Lily heard Jordan snap at Woody.
"North Carolina? How are we here?" Lily asked, completely shocked.
"I don't know Lily, but Woody's driving like a maniac, and I'm a little worried right now so I have to go, see you in a few," Jordan said, hanging up.
"We're in North Carolina?" Lu asked Lily.
"Yes," Lily said near silently.
Lu didn't say anything. When Lily looked back, Lu was sitting there, looking into space, her chest was barely rising with her breaths.
"Lu? You ok?" Lily was a little worried.
"Lily, I'm tired, I have to sleep," Lu mumbled, slowly falling asleep.
"Lu, you can't fall asleep," Lily was worried, really worried. She didn't want Lu to fall asleep because she may die due to her injuries.
"Yes, Lily, I can. Tell Nigel, I love him," Lu said, nodding off again, this time, she fell asleep.
"Lu? Lu! Wake up! Damn you wake up! What do you mean you love Nigel?" Lily was yelling at Lu, but she didn't want to shake her and hurt her insides.
Lu didn't wake up.
XXXXXXXXXX
Woody, Jordan, Garret, Nigel and Bug stood on the edge of the digging site, with Temperance and Booth right beside them. People were digging like crazy, and when somebody heard a shovel hit something, they yelled up at the others.
"We've got em!" Jordan's eyes lit up and she hugged Woody.
"They're ok!" she said aloud, even though she didn't know if Lu and Lily were alive.
XXXXXXXXXX
They pulled Lily out of the car that had been buried; she was scared, and crying.
Lu didn't make it. She died of her injuries, shortly after she had fallen asleep in the car. Jordan didn't know what made her do it, but she started crying when she heard the news of Lu's death, as did Nigel.
Jordan had heard rumors from Bug about Nigel and Lu having a secret romance, behind Woody's back. Supposedly, Nigel was telling Lu to break it off with Woody, but she didn't know how, until Woody broke up with her.
Jordan let go of Woody and went and hugged Nigel.
Temperance looked over at the people. She was glad that everybody was ok, but Tempe was wondering why the Grave Digger had chosen North Carolina of all places. She didn't notice that she was hugging her own arms a little bit.
Booth looked over at her, and he laid a hand on her back. She smiled over at him. "If you want to stay and question her," she said, nodding to Lily and releasing her arms.
"I think we can do that on the plane, but we may have to cancel one ticket back," Booth said, looking at the body of Lu Simmons as they pulled her from the car.
"Yeah," Temperance looked at the body, sad for the other people around her. "I'm going back to Russ' as soon as we get back."
"That's fine, can I come?" Booth asked, not wanting to leave her just yet.
"Yes," Tempe said quietly.
"Really?" Booth was a little surprised that she had said yes.
"I reacted foolishly when I saw you and Cam. I already knew, kind of," Temperance said, looking out over the hills that they were on. It was like a desert out here.
"Then why did you freak out?" Booth asked, taking her chin in his thumb and pointer finger gently.
"I suppose it was because I did not expect to see you and Dr. Saroyan 'making out' in her office. I was shocked and I acted as though I was a child," Tempe said, raising her eyes to look at Booth, they were empty. There wasn't a trace of emotion in her beautiful eyes Booth thought as he looked at her.
"How about we go back to Boston, hang out with Russ and David and whatever his wife's name is, and then go back to DC, then we talk about it?" Booth said, smiling down at her.
Tempe nodded. "Sure," she said quietly.
"That's my Bones," Booth said, walking with her back to the car, it was going to be a long trip back.
