Booth opened his eyes, his hand immediantly went to his kneck as it stung. He sat up and groaned, realising he was trapped inside a car.
"I really shouldn't have called him stupid!" sighed Booth, lying back down.
Booth looked up at the car ceiling, he knew he was going to die. He wondered if it would hurt, he wondered if Bones suffered any pain. He was going to die, exactly like his partner and then if his beliefs were correct - he would soon join her. He looked down at his watch, he had atleast been down there for about three hours; 21 hours left until he would run out of air. He wondered if the Squint Squad knew he had been captured, he wondered if they were trying to find where he was. Booth looked besides him, he noticed that he a few objects with him. He picked up his partners book and smiled, this was the one that she had dedicated to him. He also had a notepad, he ripped out one of the pages, he had decided to write a goodbye letter to everyone, like Bones had done for him. Even though Bones was already gone, he felt like he had to begin with her. Booth picked up a pen and began to write.
Dear Bones,
Well, Im here. The Gravedigger has caught me, Im now held hostage although I have 24 hours worth of air as Im alone. This feels so weird, being all alone with no-one to talk to. Im scared, Bones, really really scared and I can't control it. I wish you were here with me, somehow I know that I would feel safer if I was with you.
I read your letter to me, while you were in the same position that Im in now. Congratulations, you actually made an FBI agent cry! I've never felt so alone in my whole life, I need you Bones. You told me to not blame myself, but I can't help it - would it be different if I had just paid the ransom ? That question burns in my head and I will never know the answer. I know that you gave your life for Hodgins, you made the ultimate sacrafice for one of your friends, you are much braver then me.
I had a dream the other day. That I still didn't pay the ransom, yet we found you and Hodgins both alive, we had saved you in time! But, it was just a stupid dream that had got my hopes up then crushed them like a bug. I told Angela the dream, she has been amazing throughout this whole thing. You chose an amazing best friend, Bones! You really did, I've never met anyone more caring.
To be honist, I love you too. I just hate knowing now that we'll never have that future together. I wish I had told you, we could have grown old together and have loads of grandchildren. I regret alot of things in my past, but not telling you how I really feel is my biggest one. Everyone saw it, Angela and the whole squint squad! But we denied it, guess we shouldn't have now.
Your right, until I die then I guess it really is goodbye. But, seen as Im stuck here until I run out of air - you might be seeing me sooner. Thank you, Bones. Im more intelligent now, and you changed me into the man I am today. See you soon.
Yours always,
Booth.
Booth re-read the letter, he smiled and placed it in his pocket. He pulled out another piece of paper, now deciding to write a goodbye letter to Angela. He wondered how Angela would cope, loosing a friend and her best friend in a space of such short time. He began to think on what he could write to Angela, and how he would say goodbye to such an amazing friend.
