Temperance was just finishing her bust when Booth and Liz walked in she got a beep on her computer she picked it up asking it to the desk opening it and clicked the screen it was a video I was Angela on web cam she was in a hotel "hey Bren"

Temperance smiled "Ange where are you"

She smiled "Paris"

Temperance smiled broader "wow sounds great"

Angela asked "what are you doing"

Temperance said "working, we're here in New York working on a case trying to do a facial reconstruction old school because…"

Angela said "I'm not there… maybe I can help can I see them"

Temperance said "I don't want to pry your on vacation"

Angela said "and you need it for a case… show me" Temperance walked over bring the two bust over she said "the eye on the woman are brown the face shape is slimmer" Temperance started to readjust it and Liz helped she talked them there t and they got the faces to Angela's liking and then she said "she has brown hair dark… the man dark ash brown and he has a beard his chin form is better for a beard then not" they made the adjustment said "well I got to go I'll contact you later tonight"

Temperance said "yes thank you… we need to talk"

Angela said "you know how to get me"

Temperance said "I don't know you might be busy"

Angela laughed "I always need a break"

Temperance smiled "bye Ange"

Booth and Liz were looking at the faces he said "there Iraqi"

Liz said "it would appear"

Tru walked in and said "why were they here"

Liz got on her laptop and went into the FBI data base and she said "got it… Elvanta Lema Jheri and Elba Dire Jheri"

Temperance said "why were they here"

Liz said "give me a minute and I'll tell you" she readjusted her glasses and said "they were here, get this to visit the Donald's" she turned to them

Booth clapped his hands together rubbing them "I love a conspiracy, connected deaths cover up… possibly a big meeting, secret possibly a hit"

Temperance said "no evidence to prove that theory"

Liz sad "she's right, if it was a hi there would have been a gun one bullet and possible something that would take out the victims and the victims only with no suspicion this," this was a bombing… it might have been deliberate but someone wanted to make point"

Temperance said "what do we do now" this was the second time in as many weeks he had heard her say that and he didn't know

They went to the DC Military Base and met will the Sgt. and the Military Agent. Sgt Cuttington said "have you made your decision it all went through Booths head at once what had been said and asked of him in the week and Temperance answered "we're coming"

Booth said "yeah we are"

Cuttington said "I knew you would"

Booth said "our main concern is our safety in this mission if were going to do anything for you were going to make sure were safe doing it"

Cuttington said "there is absolutely no danger were will make sure of that"

Booth said "good"

Cutting said "send a chopper first thing in the morning"

Liz walked in "if you're sending them you're sending me"

Cutting said "Dr Davis… we"

Liz walked past them "I have the military sense aid and savvy to get these to in and out of a situation and I was a military medical spy for a full tour of duty… I know, I'm willing and you could use my help not only on this but there period I can find out more then they can"

He said "I've seen your jacket and we would be happy to have you"

Liz said "thank you"

They drove back to DC that night in silence we they got back to the office at eight Liz went in Booth grabbed her arm turning her to him and said "what the hell was that"

She said "exactly what you saw you need my help out there and you know it… I'm offer with my help you both with be safe I'll cover you and with me there I can find out what happen with Zack which neither of you will have time to do working for them"

Booth said "if I didn't know any better I would say your only going to protect me"

She smiled sarcastically and said "if I'm going for you you're only going for her and she's only going to prove a point and get her friend back were all going for the wrong reasons and we'll all probably get killed… but we seem not to care about that"

Booth said "you're right"

Temperance said waking up were all friends were all going for different reasons but we all have one goal this case this case is a big thing for us all... we all have things we need to do to prove and to put behind us we go and we do it… and we all come back"

Booth said "but can we handle the mental change that were going to have to go through in order to be able to cope when we return if were ever able to cope again"

Temperance said "I think we can"

Liz said "I think we can as well"

Temperance put her hand in "we make a vow were coming out of this"

Liz put her hand on second "were coming out of this"

Booth hesitated they gave him a look he looked at there hands and nodded and lace his on slowly said "we're coming out of this"

Temperance said "and we're bring Zack back with us"

Ten o'clock that night Booth arrived at Rebecca's place he knocked she came to the door looking at him very perturbed because he didn't call she opened the door "what the hell are you doing here so late you know what time it is you know your not suppose to see him till this weekend"

Booth said "I won't be here this weekend"

Rebecca said "what why"

Booth said "a case"

Rebecca said "does it have to do with the good doctors"

Booth said "My Sergeant contacted me on Monday… he need me to go"

Rebecca said "were"

Booth gave her a knowing look she covered her mouth with her hand "Seeley… you can't, you have a son now you have got to be crazy to go back you nearly went crazy hen you came back the first time, you can't do this again"

Booth said "I made my decision"

Rebecca looked at him "if you do this and come back messed up I swear you'll never see him again"

Booth said "Rebecca please, don't do this to me… not now, it's a job I'll be back"

Rebecca said "job means one thing in army talk, they want you to kill someone… and your going to do it, after all that you fought for to get to this semblance of sanity your going to go back"

Booth said "I didn't come here to argue with you"

They didn't notice Parker had woke up he came in the hall holding his bear and said "mommy why are you fighting"

she went and picked him up Booth came in "hey buddy did we wake you up" he stooped as the boy nodded coming to him "sorry buddy, but I have something some old friends and very important want me to do but I'll be back though… and I want you to keep you mom safe now okay"

Parker said "you're leaving when"

Booth said "in the morning but I'll be back that why I need you to keep your mom safe"

Parker said "you going to be safe"

Booth smiled "always am"

Parker said "but you can't go with out this" he ran into his bedroom and came back a few moments later holding a chain "here you have to take these"

Booth took the chain and held it up it was his old dog tags he had given them to his son when he was born and his mother had told him they were protection to his father when he needed it so he was giving it back to him he looked at the to dog tags and they spun in the light f the moon coming from out side the door Booth hugged him tight "thank you I'll wake them till I come back" he picked him up took him back to his room bet him to bed kissed his forehead and walked out the room as he was about to leave

Rebecca touched his arm as he was repairing to wake out "come back to him… please"

Booth looked a her a moment "I will" he went out the door he held up the dog tags it had been years sense he has seen them and he smiled putting them on over his heart he would be okay

Temperance got home that night she packed her survival kit and then she packed a bag of a week worth of clothing and then she got on her computer with Angela

Angela said "what is so important"

Temperance said "me and Booth are leaving for Iraq tomorrow"

Angela said "what"

Temperance nodded "yeah, we were both called over for different reasons dealing with the same case"

Angela said "you're not going"

Temperance said "I have to go"

Angela said "Zack can't agree with this"

Temperance said "the white house mailed him last week he gone that another reason that we have to go"

Angela said "you can't go jus because of him"

Temperance said "we both have our own reasons and Liz is going to watch out backs"

Angela said "that woman puts a lot on the line for you to and especially when theirs no one watching her back"

Temperance said "we are"

Angela said "yeah, you are"

Temperance said "I'm sensing sarcasms there… we watch out for each other"

Angela said "it doesn't take a psychologist to know she cares a lot about you to and that she loves him as a close friend and you as well she wants you happy and alive… you both owe her that same courteously

Temperance said "I got to go we have to head out early tomorrow"

Angela said "call me"

She smiled "I will"

Angela got off Hogins brought her some wine she was puzzled he said "what is it sweet heart"

Angels said "I'm worried about the others everyone's headed ever to Iraq"
