Hodgins watched as his worst fear happened. The ground shook beneath all their feet. Men scattered everywhere. The weight of the men assisting Booth and Booth himself had been too much. The sandstone was too unstable. He could hear the shouts of the people below. All he could do was hope that the whole cave didn't crumble. He prayed that his friends would make it out safely.

It seemed like an eternity before everything became still and silent. He yelled at everyone to stay back as he crept towards the opening. He could see many more fissures in the rock face so he tapped his foot before each step. He called out toward the hole as he grew closure, but received no response. H

He could feel the panic rising as he became close enough to peer down the hole.

They could hear a rumbling sound. Everyone froze and then those closest to the mountain began running in all directions. The forensics team that had been on the mountain collecting evidence from the bomb began shouting as the side of the mountain once again came crashing down.

Angela fell back into the seat behind her, her jaw dropped, and she just stared. Had they had enough time to get out? That was her one and only thought as tears once again began to fall.

Caroline didn't know how much more her old body could take. Enough time hadn't passed to get all those people out. She wasn't even sure if there was enough time to get any of them out. Instead of one man they may have lost several.

The side of the mountain settled, she heard a nearby radio requesting for a type of roll call. They were checking for casualties

Hodgins peered into the hole. A few moments later he saw the people begin to surface. His panic began to recede. They were going to be ok. He could see that the mass of the rocks and dirt and caused the water to rise. What was once waste deep was now up to their chests.

Sweets was the first to come up gasping for air. Followed my Cam a second or two later. One by one they began to surface. They all looked around warily seeing the aftermath of what had happened around them. The water had risen due to the collapse of many rocks around them.

Wendell silently did a headcount. "Where are Dr Brennan and Booth's Brother?" He asked as he began searching around him.

Hodgins had heard Wendell's faint question and his panic rose again. He jumped to his feet and started yelling commands to the people surrounding the area.

"We have some injuries down there guys, they are going to need medical attention. We can't add much weight over here so anyone over 200 lbs stay back. I'll keep watch and let you know what we will need."

The medics already began working on Booth. They examined his injuries and wrapped him in blankets and heating pads. Their monitors showed his heart beating every 30 seconds or so. They gave him a shot of adrenaline directly into his heart to try and increase his heart rate. They intubated him to make sure oxygen was getting into his system. They informed Hacker that things didn't look good for the man. The lack of oxygen to the brain could cause severe and permanent brain damage if he survived at all.

The group spread out searching for the 2 missing. The once clear area was riddled with debris making the search more difficult. Cam saw a red tint in the water a few feet away.

"Oh my god." She muttered wading quickly over followed by Mike and Barrows. They dove under the water searching for the source of the blood. They rose to the surface with an unconscious Jared in their arms. He had a large gash on the left side of his head.

Cam checked his vitals. "He isn't breathing." They leaned him onto the large boulder Booth and Brennan had used as part of her escape. Cam began CPR as all the men dove back in the water to search for Brennan.

It was Wendell who had spotted her first; he waved and kicked to get the other men's attention. They swam over, through the murky waters they could see her bleeding and pinned under a fairly large boulder.

Jared began coughing and sputtering as he expelled the water from his lungs. "Tempe?" He said breathlessly.

The other men briefly surfaced to refresh their air supply and dove under again.

"Stay here." Cam said sternly to Jared and went to join the other men.

They evaluated the area to see the best way to release Brennan without further injury. Wendell motioned for Cam to stay with Brennan and for the men to move the boulder. They all nodded.

The men surfaced Mike and Barrows took in air and went under again to get under the rock to lift. Wendell, Sweets and the other two men stood on either side to pull and push, hoping they could lift it enough for Cam to pull Brennan free.

The men struggled. They were moving it but not enough the free her.

Cam's lungs felt as if they would explode. He surfaced and then dove back down. She could feel her emotions trying to overwhelm her but fought them back.

Jared becoming more aware joined the group. He wasn't about to just lie there. They were obviously doing something. He submerged and saw an unconscious Brennan with her right shoulder area pinned under the boulder. A rush of adrenaline hit him. His brother almost died and still might to save this woman. He obviously cared for her and Jared did himself.

Jared saw a stalagmite a short distance away. He planted his feet against it and pushed himself in the side of the boulder holding Brennan. He dug his shoulder into the jagged rock, still pushing with his legs. Slowly the Boulder began to roll. Cam saw the chance and grabbed Brennan pulling her away.

The group surfaced gasping for air. Jared grabbed Brennan and threw her over his shoulder much as he had done with Booth. He gently laid her where he had been a short time before. He checked her vitals and began CPR. Mike tended the open wounds on Brennan's head and neck as Cam tried to stop the bleeding of Jared's head.

"Come on Tempe… come on. You can't give up. Seeley didn't give up so you can't either." He breathed twice into her mouth. Seeley would never forgive him if anything happened to her.

Hodgins looked down at the scene below. He silently willed Brennan to wake up. He would never be able to tell his pregnant wife. He called Hacker closer to him. He informed him what was going on below and requested radio silence. He told them they needed to start getting people out of there. The two men Hodgins chose to be near the entrance suited up in safety harnesses just in case they had a repeat of earlier events. Hodgins harnessed himself as well. He was going to be a dad, he couldn't take any chances.

He called to the group below and told them they should keep their distance, that when the harness was lowered down they needed to secure themselves and call up to them to be raised.

The group of people shifted their locations with the exception of Jared, Brennan and Cam. Jared refused to move her and continued to try and resuscitate her. He had felt some liquid release into his mouth during one of the breaths; he knew he was making process.

Cam told the others to go first. They would continue to work on Brennan until they had no choice but to go.

Wendell and Sweets Let the others go first, they didn't want to leave their friends. When it came down to the two of them they argued. Cam staunched it and said the youngest would go first. Wendell was half way up when Jared finally saw Brennan take her own breath. He checked her pulse and it was weak but there.

He looked up and said a quiet thank you. He pulled the unconscious woman into his arms. He whispered into her ear. "Stay with us, Seeley is going to need you. "

They managed to get everyone else from the cave without any more incidents. Brennan and Booth were taken by helicopter and Jared transported by the team.

At the hospital Caroline, Hacker, Jared and the team sat and waited anxiously to hear news about their friends.
