"I'm looking for Miss Angela Montenegro and Mr Jack Hodgins. They were brought in from a car crash." Brennan said to the night nurse at the reception desk.

"Are you family?"

"Yes…Well no I'm their emergency contact. Dr Temperance Brennan."

"Oh yes I rang you… two seconds now. Mr Hodgins is in ward three and I'm afraid Miss Montenegro is still in surgery"

"Surgery… What's wrong with her?" Brennan was getting more scared by the second.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you, but if you go to Mr Hodgins and I'm sure a doctor will be along soon." The nurse gave her an apologetic smile and told her where to find ward three.

As soon as she walked in the door she saw Hodgins.

"Jack!" she ran over and hugged him. His arm was in a cast and his face was scratched but other wise he looked ok.

"Temperance, oh thank God you're here. I was afraid they couldn't reach you."

"What happened? I was in Booths office and I got the call."

"I'm sorry, I know you should be with him but I didn't know who else to call."

"Oh it's grand. Now tell me what what's wrong with Angela."

"She has a perforated lung, she also shattered her right ulna and radius and the damage was so extensive they had to operate…" he stopped and tears welled up in his eyes. "… there was also a query that… Brennan she might have brain damage…she hit her head pretty hard off the windshield."

"No…Oh this can't be happening."

"I know."

"How are you doing?"

"Oh I'm fine. the break in my arm is clean and they want to keep me in over night because I have a concussion."

"Ok. So how long will Angela be?"

"They couldn't tell me."

"Oh… so do you remember what happened?"

"Am… sort of, well Angela was driving home and we were on the cliff road, you know the one that's about a half a mile from home, and out of nowhere this big black car came around the corner and it looked like it was about to plow right into us. Angela swerved and we hit the cliff wall."

"Was the other car ok?"

"Yes, it just drove away. Brennan I could have sworn that it forced us into the wall on purpose."

"I hope not. But I mean Angela is such a good driver."

"I know… God if she's not ok…." Brennan sat on the bed beside him. "…Tempe I don't know what I'd if I lost her."

"Me neither." They sat in silence for the next few hours. Then at about three in the morning a female doctor walked in.

"Mr and Mrs Hodgins?"

"No… Mr Hodgins and Dr Brennan." Brennan corrected the doctor quickly. "How's Angela?"

"She's stable and out of the operating theatre."

"Oh thank God… Jack. She's stable." She hugged Hodgins.

"She's in recovery but you can see her in another few hours."

"Thank you Dr…?"

"Dr Bailey."

"Thank you Dr Bailey." Brennan and Hodgins said in unison.
