Five hours later Brennan opened her eyes and found herself snuggled into Booth's chest with one of his arms around her. She grinned when she saw this, realizing that he was protective even in his sleep. The TV was still on and their half empty beer bottles sat in front of them. She smiled to herself. Surprised at how comfortable she felt in his arms. She just lay there feeling the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed in and out. Then suddenly his breathing sharpened and became irregular. She looked up at him.
"Hey Booth. We must have fallen asleep." She smiled at him. He was surprised at how relaxed she was. When he had woken up and seen her, he was afraid she would freak out.
"Morning Bones." the peace they both felt right then was short lived when Booth heard something. Footsteps outside his door. "Bones. There's someone outside." He whispered. Then suddenly the front door burst open, and a swarm of agents came in. They were greeted by the forensic anthropologist and her partner in a close proximity on the couch. Booth jumped up and pulled his gun.
"Hands in the air Agent Booth! Put down your weapon!" came a shout.
"Now Agent Matthews you know I can't do that until you tell me why you burst down my door at eight in the morning?" Booth replied.
"Agent Booth you are under arrest for the murder of Drew Stevens. You should place your gun on the floor to avoid further charges."
"What? Andrew what are you talking about?"
"Seeley please come quietly, I don't want to have to force you." Agent Matthews pleaded.
"Booth what's happening?" Brennan said from her seat on the couch.
"I don't know Bones, I just better go with Andrew and sort this out."
"Smart Seeley thanks." Andrew told Booth his rights and handcuffed him.
"Go to the lab Bones I'll call you soon." Booth said as he was led out the door.
"But Booth what did you..." Brennan started but he was gone. She was in shock. Booth had been arrested…for murdering Drew? She was so confused. She picked up Booths door and tried to fix it in place. She then went out to her car and drove to work.
The second she was in the door she heard her name.
"Bren!" came the voice of her best friend. Angela stood across the room from her.
"Hey Ange" she said sleepily.
"Sweetie why do you look so tired? You can't have been working late because you and Booth closed up your case yesterday."
"Ange…"
"Hang on aren't they the clothes you were wearing yesterday Sweetie."
"Yes Angela they are."
"What do you mean swe….. Oh my God you slept with Booth last night didn't you!"
"Well yes I suppose I did."
"SWEETIE!" Angela squealed. Hodgins came over when he heard Angela's yell.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Brennan and Booth did the dirty deed!" Angela said beaming from ear to ear.
"Well done doc." Hodgins laughed.
"No we didn't Angela!" Brennan said shocked.
"But you just said you slept together!"
"Yeah we did we fell asleep on his couch while watching TV." She said
"Oh…Well that's a start Bren. What were you doing at Booths all night?" by then Hodgins had left.
"Well yesterday Booth got a bit of a fright from Parker, Drew hurt him and yelled at Rebecca. And Booth was upset so I decided to try and be a good friend and be there for him. We fell asleep watching "Friends". But then when we woke up this morning….."
"What Bren?" Brennan still didn't believe it herself.
"Angela…. Some agents burst in and arrested Booth for murdering Drew!"
"Oh my God sweetie!" Angela put her arm around Temperance and led her to her office. "Are you ok?"
"I don't know Ange….. I mean Booth was really angry but I don't believe that he killed Drew."
"I know Bren. I know. Do you want to go home?"
"No Booth said to wait here until he calls."
"Ok sweetie. At least let me get you some coffee."
"Ok Ange." Brennan sat on her couch and Angela went to get her some coffee. When she got back Brennan was fast asleep. Sighing Angela looked down at her best friend and put a blanket over her. She walked out to the platform and looked at Hodgins, Cam and Zach. They were examining a set of remains from limbo.
"Miss Montenegro, Dr Hodgins just informed me that Dr Brennan has arrived. Please tell me she is on her way and has a good excuse for being late." Cam said.
"Well Cam. Yes Dr Brennan is in, but no I don't think she's on her way and I also don't think she will be fit to work today. And yes she has a good excuse." Angela said still trying to digest what Brennan had told her.
"Excuse me." Cam gave her a look.
"Well, Booth was arrested this morning, in front of Brennan, at his home for murder so she's a little shaken up right now. Ok?"
"Booth's what?" Hodgins said.
"Agent Booth killed someone?" Zach added.
"Seeley's…….What was Dr Brennan doing at Seeley's house this morning?" Cam asked.
"She just told you that Booth's being accused of murder and all you can do is be jealous. Glad to see you have your priorities straight." Hodgins said.
"Who did he…… you know?" Zach asked.
"Drew." Angela said.
"Rebecca's boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Will we have to do the examination?" Hodgins asked.
"I don't know Jack I'm waiting for Booth to call. And I'd rather we didn't talk about it please." Brennan was standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Sorry Dr Brennan. Yes Dr Brennan." Zach said hurriedly.
"Ange. I left my purse at Booths and my ID's in it. Can you let me up?" Brennan asked.
"Of course Sweetie." Angela strode over to her and swiped her card. The two women walked over together.
"I thought you were asleep?" Angela whispered.
"I was but you woke me when you closed the door.
"Sorry Bren."
"No problem." She replied smiling weakly. "So Zach what have we got here?" even though Zach was not her student anymore Temperance still asked him questions, not that he minded. He gave Angela a quizzical look and she nodded.
"Am it's a Caucasoid male aged 30-35. Found in the mountains in Central America. Been in limbo since 1992. Been dead for about 200 hundred years. Written off as historical." Zach told her.
"Ok well done Zach." As Brennan said that her phone rang. "I have to take this." She turned around and answered it. "Brennan…Oh Booth thank God…What's happening?...What do you mean?...Ok do you need Bail money…WHAT? No Booth that can't be true… Please Booth tell me this is one of your stupid jokes that I don't get...But…ok…ok I'll talk to you soon…yes I'll get them for you...Thanks Booth…oh and Booth…We'll sort this out…….. bye." When she turned around there was tears in her eyes.
"Sweetie what' happening?" Angela asked.
"Am... Booth is in holdup. Seemingly they have some deniable evidence tying him to the case. He can't get bail. I get to see Booth in an hour but I have to go to his place first and pick up a change of shirt from him. Am Cam I'll have to take a few hours off. Ok?" she said absent mindedly.
"No problem Dr Brennan." Cam replied.
"Thanks. I'll be back soon."
"Ok Bren."
