Booth walked over to Temperance's side. The doctors didn't try to stop him but they left the room to give him some privacy. Booth knelt down and grabbed Bones' hand. His eyes filled with tears as he rubbed her icy palm.
"You can't do this to me… Your stronger than this and…" Booth was letting the tears fall freely down his cheeks.
"I need you… Please…I'd give anything… Just to see your smile, hear your laugh, and to tell you… face to face…" Booth lifted her hand to his face and placed a gentle kiss upon it.
"To tell you how much I need you… No… How much I love you." Booth leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Please don't leave me… Temperance." Booth laid his head upon Temperance's chest. Booth laid there for what felt like eternity. Suddenly something started clicking. It was Bones' Heart Monitor. She had a pulse… It was weak, but a pulse none the less.
"Help doctor!…. She's Alive!" The doctors hurried one by one into the room and analyzed was had just occurred.
"Someone up there must really like you." The doctors pushed Booth aside to get better leverage with Temperance's body.
"Pulse is getting stronger every minute." The nurse looked at the doctor and smiled. Booth looked up at the ceiling and whispered.
"Thank you." Booth walked up and held onto Bones' hand when something amazing happened. She squeezed his hand.
It had been two days since Bones' near death experience. She was stable and getting stronger everyday. But unfortunately she was in an coma. She had been dead for nearly 2½ minutes. Booth only left the hospital once to change his shirt and to take a shower. Everyone left to go and get some rest from the ordeal of nearly loosing a dear friend. Booth was sitting with his head resting against the window. Booth was obviously thinking about something when he stood up and headed through the doorway.
"I'll be right back." He left and headed down the hallway to the door where two officers stood. Booth flashed his badge and the officers allowed him to enter the room. Booth entered the room to find the man who had kidnapped Bones. His legs were both amputated because of the severe damage to the knees.
"What the hell do you want?" Booth stopped at the front of the bed.
"Answers… Why me? Why Bones?" The man sighed and looked him directly in the eyes.
"Because you took my family away. Back when you were a sniper. You shot whoever you thought was a threat. Including my wife and son."
"I'm sorry… I was following orders. It doesn't give you the right to do what you did to Temperance. What part of this does she have in this?"
"She is the women you love."
"She's done nothing to you!"
"My family did nothing to you!!" The room echoed from the shouting that they remained silent until it stopped booming. Booth quietly began to speak.
"Your family was in the middle of a war zone. A war that was dangerous and a lot of innocent people died. If you want to blame someone, blame your country… If you want to blame someone… blame yourself. You should have known that it was dangerous and got your family out of harms way." The mans eyes started to water and he began to whimper.
"I shouldn't have to make my family leave our home just because some American Donkeys think their better then us. What if was Temperance and Parker who had been killed. How would you of felt?"
"I would have felt-" Booth stopped dead and looked at the man.
"How did you know my son's name?"
"I have my ways. But I must say that your son loves strawberry swirl ice cream And he's absolutely adorable. What is he?… 4 or 5? But he looks a little more like his mommy though." Booth punched the man square in the face and ran form the room while dialing Rebecca's number.
"Hello."
"Rebecca. It's Booth."
"Hi."
"Where's Parker?"
"At Pre-School, why?"
"Go get him, hurry… I think someone's after him." Rebecca hung up the phone and Booth jumped into his SUV. He turned on the sirens and sped down the highway towards Parker's school.
