~Hodgins's P.O.V
"Hey Hodgins; where is Allie?" Booth asked me.
"In Zack's area, she is crying her eyes out….she might need to be alone." I stated.
"But she needs to talk to someone…" I shook my head.
"She's dealing with it in her own way, shhh she's coming," I stated when she approached.
~Allie's P.O.V
I walked from Zack's area after trying to clean up a bit. It didn't really work, but it was good enough. My eyes were still puffy and red but I really didn't care. They were talking about stuff when I finally decided to listen for real.
"Potatoes? I arrested a guy because of potatoes?"
"Well it could have been the murder weapon and he could have been the killer," I stated earning me shocked faces. "What? Yeah I can speak and yes I was listening." I rolled my eyes.
"Any way maybe Wendell missed something in the bones," I nodded agreeing with Hodgins.
"No, I didn't," he defended.
"Don't blame Wendell he's doing very well," Angela defended.
"I just miss Zack is all," I looked down and closed my eyes.
"You got to get over it Zack's not coming back," I sighed deeply knowing it was true.
"I know where to find the victims head," a familiar voice stated. I opened my eyes and looked up and nearly fainted. I felt Hodgins steady me.
"This is not good," Cam stated.
"How did you get out?" Dr. Brennan asked.
"You don't appear happy to see me," Zack stated. I moved forward to walk to him but Booth grabbed my shoulder.
"Oh we aren't," he stated.
"I am! I am really am." Dr. Brennan stated. I nodded breaking from his grasp and running to Zack. I cried into his chest. Everyone followed over and hugged him as well. Zack was kissing the top of my head.
"Zack, how did you get out?" Booth demanded.
"Dr. Sweets helped me," I looked up at Zack and he smiled.
"Well then I totally change my mind about Sweets, I now love him." Angela stated. I nodded as well.
"Does Dr. Sweets know he helped you?" Cam asked.
"No," Zack stated. He looked at Dr. Brennan, "Your hurting my arm,"
"Alright, Zack you're with me and Bones. Everyone else go play with your microscopes and whatever it is you do, you come one now." I looked up at Zack and tried to pull away but he gripped me tighter. I smiled and hugged into him tighter. We started to walk when Booth looked at me. I gave him a pleading look and he nodded.
~Hodgins's P.O.V
"I think Allie knows something," I stated to Cam, Angela and Wendell.
"What do you mean?" Ange asked.
"I was looking for her and found her in Zack's area talking to him," I looked around, "I heard her state, 'this is entirely my fault!'" I stated.
"What is her fault?" Cam asked.
"I think it has to with you know what…"
"What are you talking about?" Wendell asked.
"Gormogon," we all stated.
"What?" We sighed before walking down to the basement. "Where are we?"
"This is the vault we found the body in, well it isn't a real body….anyway we were looking for a cannibal who killed a violinist when we found him," I gestured to the silver skeleton. "The real bones are from different victims…anyway after a while the FBI believed that there was a rat in the crew. They thought it was me…" I glared at Cam.
"So we went under evaluation, we all passed but Zack started acting strange…"
"After awhile the cases we did seem to be connected, we got a case that wasn't but it ended up leading us to one that was." Angela continued.
"We found a singer and wrapped up the case nicely, but Booth wanted to take us to the Karaoke bar." Cam took over.
"While we were there, Booth was shot. The FBI decided to fake his death, but not to tell us. Sweets decided not to, to see how we reacted." I stated.
"After the funeral we found a box addressed to Dr. Brennan with a jaw bone with silver screws." Cam grimaced.
"Zack and I decided to do an experiment make the dentures the creep was using."
"When it exploded Hodgins, Zack and Allie where all there," I stated.
"Zack and Allie where the worst….Zack's hands and Allie was burned on one of her arms and around her eye, you can't really see it she hides it well…" Angela finished.
"Yeah I saw some slight scars but I didn't want to mention it…" Wendell replied.
"We should head back up stairs…" I stated walking up stairs. The rest of crew followed.
~Allie's P.O.V
I walked out with Zack; Dr. Brennan had convinced Booth to let us be with each other for a while. When we made it to Zack's office we closed the door and locked it. Not that we planned to do anything more that kissing, but it was just a precaution. I leaned into Zack more making him groan. He pulled away bit.
"I missed you so much," he breathed before continuing to kiss me. When he pulled away this time he had pulled my shirt down a bit and started to kiss down ward.
"I missed you, Zack," I breathed. We really started to get into it when there was a knock at the door. I groaned when we pulled away again. "What?" I called slightly angered.
"Uh we want to see Zack too!" Ange called into us. I sighed and started fixing my hair. Zack looked down glumly.
"Zack, I think we should tell…." I stated. Zack grabbed my shoulder turning to me to face him.
"Listen, Allie, we can't…" I frowned as he pulled me into a hug.
"But…" I trailed off but Zack understood.
"I know but I could end up in prison…" I nodded as the tears overflowed in my eyes.
"I just want you home,"
"I want to come home but I killed a man," that's when I snapped I started balling my eyes out. "shhhhh," he whispered while kissing my head.
"Y-You d-d-didn't k-k-ill h-him," I stated as I tried calming myself down.
"Yes I did, I told the master where to find him which lead to his death," he stated unaware that it would make me cry even harder. He calmed me down as best as he could before walking me to Ange who took me in open arms. Hodgins pulled Zack off with Cam. Angela told them that we would be right there.
"Honey, please calm down." I nodded taking deep breaths trying to control the crying and my breathing. "Now tell me what happened."
"W-we were kissing when you called for us, we pulled apart and started to talk. I missed Zack so much and…" I wiped some stray tears from my eyes.
"This reopened the old scars, I know how you feel."
"Not the way I was going to put it, but yeah. I just want Zack home….come on we still have to eat…" I sighed knowing I couldn't tell her the real truth about that night…
~Zack's P.O.V
I sat at the table with Allie at my side. Seeing her now made me realize how much I truly missed her. She was so beautiful and smart. I loved her and she loved me but I felt really bad about making her keep quiet. Her hand tightened around mine. I knew she was thinking the same thing but I also knew I would make it up to her somehow. Trying to cover up the guilt I held I started to tell stories about the place I was calling home now. Allie's grip got even tighter. I looked at her and kissed her hand. She smiled a bit before kissing me on the lips. Before all the drama happened, Hodgins would either pretend to gag while Angela 'awed' in the back ground or 'aw' as well. No one seemed to care now. Cam's phone went off but we continued to eat and talk while she answered. She hung up and sighed. We all turned to her.
"Zack was right," was all she stated. Everyone started to make comments about how of course I was right. Allie gripped my hand and I knew this was too much for her.
"Time to go," I stated. This caused everyone to stop and frown a bit. I looked to Allie who looked depressed again. Cam told me she would drive me to Booth who would take me to Sweets who would take me 'home.' I looked to the guys as if asking to be alone with Allie. They nodded before exiting silently. I pulled Allie up on my lap and looked her in the eye.
"Allie," she nodded. "I want to tell you that I don't want to leave you, but I have to." She nodded again. "Also I wanted to tell you that if you ever need to talk all you have to do is call me. Ask for me day or night, I'm here." She nodded once again. "Please say something Allie." Allie sighed.
"Zack," her voice was horse. "I won't stop fighting for you. I will find a way to get you out. Zack I love you with all my heart and I mean that." I smiled a bit knowing I shouldn't argue with her one bit. We stood and walked out. Turns out Agent Booth was just picking me up here. I wanted to bring Allie too, but he wouldn't have it. So instead I turned to her and kissed her. When we broke apart I leaned my forehead to hers.
"Remember, call day or night." She nodded and I kissed her one last time before getting in the car with Agent Booth. Allie waved a bit as we drove away.
