Booth ran into the lab to grab the video. He was going to take it to the FBI lab to have his buddy JR see if the video had been tampered with or adjusted. But before he could leave, Cam stopped him.
"Booth, that video we got from the kidnapper, well we looked at it and, there was a billboard sign outside of the window. That particular billboard is only found in 7 places in this county. But only 4 of them have Motel 8 signs posted up underneath. If we go to each of those locations, the probability of us finding Bones is rather high. But we'll need warrants to search all the premises'." Booth nodded and ran from the building. They only had 12 hours left, and there was no telling if Bones was still alive. Booth pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number that was labeled on the video. It rang a few times before a man picked up.
"Hello."
"I'll do anything you want. Just give me some time to get the money. And I want proof that she's alive. Let me speak to her." The man fell silent and after a while Booth heard a soft sigh.
"Mm… Booth?" It was the weakest voice he had ever heard. Booth signed as his eyes began to water.
"Bones…Are… Are you alright? Do you know where you are?" Bones didn't answer any of his questions.
"Bones…Bones!"
"I'm here… Booth whoever this guy is… He really has a grudge against you. Every hour that passes he takes his knife and cuts me."
"Ok…I'm on my way… Hey is that a siren?" Booth turned around to see an ambulance speed by. He was already standing at a motel 8, so the ambulance drove by the same hotel as Bones. He noticed that the siren doubled through the telephone. Booth talked through the phone but realized that the phone was cut off. He ran to the door of the motel 8 and walked to the information desk.
"May I help you?"
"Did you see a man with a women that may have been drowsy or asleep?" The man looked at Booth confusingly.
"A lot of people come in here sleepy, tired and some do come asleep. So yes I have-."
"Forget it." Booth pulled out a picture of Bones that he had placed in his wallet.
"Have you seen this women?" The man looked at the picture.
"Sorry, no I haven't." Booth pulled out his FBI badge and slammed it onto the counter.
"Want to rethink your answer? Your interfering with a Federal missing persons case." The man stepped back.
"A man… he did come in here…With that women. He said that an ex-boyfriend would kill them and not to tell anyone about them."
"Look, this women… Her name is Temperance Brennan, she's my FBI partner and she's been missing for about 14 hours."
"She was kidnapped?"
"Yes."
"418…I gave him a key to the room 418. But he left for a little while to get some food. The women should still be in the room." Booth grabbed the spare key and ran up the stairs. He came to the 4th floor and stopped at room 418. He unlocked the door and called to the man who followed him up the stairs.
"If she's in here you go get help." The man took off down the stairs and headed to a couple of officers who were on break outside the motel. Booth slowly opened the door to the smell of alcohol, drugs, and decaying pig bodies. He walked into the bedroom to find a very pale figure lying on the bed. Her shirt was gone and her once white lacey bra was now stained with bright red blood.
"Bones!" Booth ran to her side and started untying her arms and legs. He felt her pulse to make sure she was ok. But her pulse was extremely weak. He had talked to her not 30 minutes ago, but how could she be so weak.
"Bones, I'm gonna get you out of here… I promise." Booth lifted her up into his arms and carried her out of the room. The man for the information desk came running with the 2 officer's form outside. They had already radioed for an ambulance, and it was currently on route.
"Oh my god…" The man leaned against the wall as Booth walked passed him with the 2 officers right behind him. He went quickly down the stairs and arrived outside just as the ambulance was arriving. The ambulance opened their doors and put Brennan onto the stretcher.
"Are you hurt?" Booth looked confused, but realized that he was covered in blood. Bones' blood. He couldn't believe how much blood there was. The ambulance took off for the hospital at full speed. Booth jumped into his car but saw a man walking into the building. Did this man not care that someone just came out of there half dead, and covered in blood? Suddenly the owner came running to the car.
"That's the guy. He just went inside." Booth nodded and got out of his vehicle. He signaled the officers to follow. He went in first, while one followed up the stairs and the other stayed in front of the elevator. Booth went up the stairs to the fourth floor. Booth quickly jogged to the room and stood outside it. When Booth turned to enter the man came running past him, knocking him down. The other cop was still in the stairwell and the guy was heading for the emergency exit. Booth pulled out his gun and fired 2 shots. Both bullets hit both of the knees caps sending him tumbling to the ground. Booth still laid on the floor when the other 2 officers arrived. Booth got up and walked over to where the man was lying in pool of blood. Booth didn't care though, he turned him over and handcuffed him. The other officers both looked at Booth and nodded. Booth decided the guy needed one more thing. He punched the guy straight in the face, and shook his hand from the pain of impact.
"That…Was for Bones."
