-1Booth arrived at the hospital just in time to see Bones be given a trachea tube. He wasn't allowed to go into the area where the doctors were working. Booth picked up his phone and dialed Cam's cell.

"Hello Booth…I have some more information-"

"I found her…she's…not doing so well. I'm at the hospital…Cam, she's so pale." Booth was so upset that he could barely talk. Cam signaled Angela and the others.

"We're on our way Booth. Don't worry, she'll make it." Cam hung up and ran out of the Jeffersonian. They had to hurry. Booth paced until he saw the doctors come bursting out of the work room with Temperance laying on a stretcher.

"What's wrong?" Booth was running next to the stretcher, holding Bones hand.

"Her BP's crashing, we need to get her to surgery to close her torn arteries." The doctors motioned for a nurse to escort Booth to the waiting room. When he arrived, Cam and the other's were already there.

"Booth, how's Temperance?" Booth sighed.

"Her blood pressure was crashing, they had to get her into surgery, they're trying to save her, b ut when I found her she had lost so much blood." Booth shakily pulled his shirt away from his body and sat down in the nearest chair.

"Oh my god" Hodgins had to wrap his arms around Angela's shoulders to keep her from collapsing. Zach walked up to Booth.

"Are you alright?" Booth gave Zach a look of utter disgust.

"Do I look alright? Huh? I promised her I would save her and she's in there dying. Does that sound alright to you?" With a quick swipe of his arm, Booth knocked over the plastic plant sitting on the end table next to him. Standing up to look Zach straight in the eye.

"And that bastard is down the hall getting patched up cause I shot his kneecaps off. I…I…" Booth leaned against the wall and slumped to the floor. Booth closed his eyes and dropped his head into his hands. Suddenly the intercom blared.

"Code Blue Emergency in O.R. 3. Code Blue." Booth looked up at Cam.

"That's Bones' room." Cam looked to Angela.

"Code Blue's… a flat line…" Angela started to cry as Zach and Hodgins sat down in a couple of chairs near them. Booth got up from the floor and started to walk towards the O.R. Bones was in. His pace gradually quickened into a sprint like a movie coming out of slow motion. He arrived at the O.R. just as the doctors were removing her trachea tube from her throat.

"Time of death 3:27 p.m."
