A/N: I don't own Bones.

Brennan opened her eyes and quickly sat up. Her hands immediately fell to her stomach, and she looked around.

It was all a dream.

There was no pool of blood surrounding her, and there were no labor pains shooting through her body. It was just a nightmare. She let out a sigh of relief and rested her head against the wall behind her.

"Bad dream?" Landers asked as he walked in carrying a bottle of water and another pack of crackers. "Here." He said as he threw them at her. She caught both of them and immediately began to scarf both of them down. "Someone's hungry." Landers added harshly.

"Someone's also pregnant." Brennan retorted.

"I called Booth. I told him what to do. If I get the money and proof that the evidence has been destroyed, then you're free to walk. And if not, then I keep you here until you deliver the baby." He said.

"...And then what?" Brennan asked.

"And then I slowly kill you. And the baby is sold."

"No!" Brennan exclaimed as she spit out the crackers she was currently chewing.

"Oh yes. You'll know your fate within 72 hours Temperance Brennan." Landers grinned.

"Booth, you know we can't give in to his demands." Cullen explained to a red-faced Booth.

"I don't give a damn what the FBI standards are! He has my fiance and unborn child held captive! I'm going to do whatever it takes to get them both back alive!" Booth screamed as he picked up the stapler next to him and slung it at the wall.

"Agent Booth, I know what this means to you. But you need to calm down. We're going to get Dr. Brennan back to you safely." Cullen reassured him. Booth sighed and turned to walk out of his office.

"We have seventy-two hours. We need to find her." Booth said, never turning around as he walked out.

Bones sat with her back against the wall in the same room that she had been confined to for the past few days. There were only 24 hours left until her fate was determined. Either the evidence would be destroyed and he would receive his money, or she would live in this hell hole until she delivered her child, and then she would die slowly.

She knew there was no hope of the first possibility happening.

However, she did have faith in Booth. Even if Landers never received his money, she was almost certain that Booth would track her down before she gave birth to their child. He almost had to. He had five months left until the baby was to come, and in her eyes that was plenty of time to find them.

She just hoped that Booth shared that same faith.

The door to the room opened, and as usual, Landers walked in carrying water and crackers.

"Only twenty-four hours. I think they've forgotten about you Dr. Brennan. Let's give our favorite man a ring, shall we?" Landers said as he pulled out an unfamiliar phone.

"Can I talk to him?" Bones asked.

"Excuse me?" Landers asked in reply.

"Booth. Can I talk to him. Please? I just...I want him to know that I'm okay for the time being." Brennan said weakly.

Landers nodded his head as he dialed Booth's number. Bones could hear the phone ringing, and her heart skipped a beat as she heard Booth's voice pick up on the other end.

"Booth."

"Hello Agent Booth. This is just a reminder call that you have twenty-four more hours to do what I told you to do. But this time, I have a surprise for you." Landers said as he thrust the phone into Brennan's ear.

"Booth!" Brennan exclaimed into the phone.

"Temperance! Oh god, Bones, are you okay?" Booth asked, the fear rising in his voice.

"I'm fine. For now. Booth, I need you. And I love you." Brennan said as tears welled up in her eyes.

"I love you too Bones. I promise, I'll find you before you deliver our child. I promise." Booth said. As Brennan began to answer, Landers ripped the phone away from her and snapped it shut.

"I wasn't finished." Brennan said coldly.

"I don't care." Landers replied as he stood up to leave.
