A/N: Thanks for sticking with this story! It means a lot that so many people are continuing to read it. As a treat, I'm updating again today even though I had originally planned to update later in the week. Enjoy this chapter; I had lots of fun writing it!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Bones, the characters, or any recognizable dialogue. (Obviously)

The group talked for hours, catching each other up on their lives, the case, and current events. At eight o'clock, Booth's phone rang.

"Booth…okay…give me the address…no she's with me…sir, it's late…first thing in the morning…okay, thanks, sir." The group listened to Booth's side of the conversation. Booth hung up the phone after writing something down in his notepad.

"What's up, Booth?" Angela asked.

"We found Tracy Manahan's mother. She lives in Charlestown, Maryland—about an hour and a half from here." He turned his attention to his partner. "You up for a road trip, Bones?"

Brennan smiled. "Of course, Booth."

"Good, because we have to leave first thing in the morning." He turned back to the group. "Guys, since we have to get outta here early tomorrow, we should probably head out."

Everyone nodded.

"Of course, Booth. We'll call tomorrow if we find anything useful."

"Thanks guys." He got up and extended a hand to his partner. "Ready to go, Bones?"

"Yes." She took his hand and was pulled to her feet. Booth placed an arm around her shoulders and she slipped hers around his waist.

"Aww! You guys are just too adorable!" Angela snickered.

"Thanks, Ange." Booth said, smiling warmly at his partner's best friend.

The couple left the bar and got into Booth's car. As Booth started the car, Brennan suddenly realized something.

"Booth, we brought Sweets here with us. And my car is still at the Jeffersonian."

"Damn!" He got out of the car and ran back into the bar. Brennan got out and followed him.

"Sweets, do you need a ride back to the Hoover?"

Sweets looked at Cam and the others.

"Don't worry, Booth. We'll make sure he gets home safe."

"Thanks, guys. See ya later."

Booth took Brennan's hand and the two walked back to the car and got in.

"Booth, we still need to go to the Jeffersonian to get my car."

"Okay, Bones. How about I drop you off at the Jeffersonian, then you drive yourself back to your apartment."

Brennan hesitated. "Alright…but what will you do?"

"I'll go back to my apartment."

"Oh." Her face fell slightly.

"I'll go back to my apartment, grab some stuff for tomorrow and meet you at your place."

Brennan jerked her head up and smiled broadly. "Okay, Booth. That sounds nice."

"Are you hungry? I'm hungry."

"I am as well. Should I pick something up on my way back to my apartment."

"Sure. What sounds good?"

"Thai!" They both said together and laughed.

"Alright, while I'm driving why don't you call the place that way it'll be ready when you get there."

"Sounds good, Booth."
