Thank you very much for the reviews you beautiful bunch! Well as always I hope you enjoy the chapter, and I do not own bones.
Defining bravery.
"What secret?" Booth hated it when people kept secrets from him, especially when they were about someone so close to him and more importantly if those secrets were endangering their life.
"Do you remember how Grace told everyone that Henry was ok about the break up, how he kicked up a fuss but eventually had to let her go? The problem there is that she couldn't possible know. She left him a note saying it was over and then ran away. Look Henry is a man who gained pleasure from having the control in their relationship, and he had no control what so ever over her leaving, so he's going to be angry when he catches up with her."
"Sweets, when you keep secrets like that people get hurt. How did she pull it off? I want details, now!"
"Well the night before I left I realised I had to get out before he killed me, so the next day a played the role of the perfect girlfriend, I made him breakfast and kissed him good bye as he left for work. As soon as he was out the door, I packed a suit case and left him a note; 'don't try to find me.' Then I went to my friend Shannon's, explained everything to her and made her give a letter to my mum, she's being keeping my disappearance a secret, when people start asking questions she puts their worries at ease but never reveal where I am. I changed my number and boarded the plane, and here I am."
Vincent and Grace had been hid down the alley, waiting for Booth, when she finally revealed the truth about the ending of her and Henry's relationship. She wasn't this brave young girl that everyone insisted she was, instead she was a coward who left her friends and family to deal with the aftermath. She hadn't spoken to her mum, in weeks and even when she eventually got up the courage to call, she was met by the answer phone. Oh how she missed her mum, her friends, her colleagues, what she didn't miss was the fear that rippled through her at the sight of Henry.
"That must have been really hard for you, to just leave everything behind. You are so bra-"
"Please Vincent don't, don't call me brave. I'm not, if I were brave I would have gone to the police and got the scumbag locked up. Put out a warning to other women, told everyone that behind his charming smile is a wicked heart, but I didn't I ran. I'm far from brave."
The pair crouched on the floor as they awaited the arrival of Booth, hopeful that he would find them before Henry. However, at that exact moment Booth and Sweets had hit a stand still, there had been an accident on the main roads, and no one was getting through. "I'm FBI Agent Booth, and I need to get through, we've been called to an emergency. I did mention I was with the FBI right?" Booth asked turning to look at Sweets.
"Show him your badge again Booth."
The stern man, who was standing guard at the road blocks, just stared blankly at the panicked pair. "I can't let you through, FBI, or no FBI. I've got to follow the rules, now on your way."
Typical eh? Well what will Booth do? What will happen to Vincent and Grace? Reviews and suggestions are always welcomed.
