Brennans cheeks were wet with tears.
Oh my god!!! What am I going to do??? I told him and I hurt him. I saw it in his eyes. He doesn't understand.
Brennan kept driving, not sure where she was going.
Where am I going? I can't go back to my apartment. Booth is still there.
Suddenly she knew.
Angela!!! She can help me.
She sighed and felt relieved to finally have a plan of action.
Glad that she finally had a rational goal.
I'll go to Angela, tell her everything that happened and maybe she has some useful advice for me.
Ten minutes later a surprised Angela opened the door to let her unexpected guest in.
Booth was going insane.
I can NOT believe that this is happening!!!
He was pacing around the apartment, if he had been home, something would have been shattered by now. But he wasn't at home. He was in Bones' empty apartment.
Bones...
No Temperance. She can't be Bones anymore. She doesn't know how and neither do I...
I can't believe she left!
I can't believe I LET her leave!!!
She finally tells me her secret and instead of reassuring her and tell her that I understand her, I simply let her walk out of the apartment, (with my keys nonetheless) while she's still in...
He gasped for air.
"She's still in danger."
He ran over to the door when the phone rang.
"Sweetie!!! Bren, honey, what happened?!?"
She quickly wrapped her arms around her and pulled her inside.
"Did you get in a fight with Booth? Does he even know you're here?"
Brennan shook her head.
"No... He doesn't know. Ange, I... I..."
She started crying again.
"Shhh, Bren. It's okay. You're safe. You can tell me."
She took a deep breath and said without looking up:
"I told him, Ange."
"I told him that I wanted him to stop calling me Bones. He asked why and I told him that HE called me that."
Brennan finally looked at Angela.
"He didn't react, Ange. He... he doesn't care."
Angela sighed and pushed Brens hair away from her eyes.
"Sweetie, how long did you wait for a reaction? Don't you think you might have left in a hurry?""
"Well I did leave rather quick, but Ange..."
She sighed and shook her head.
"How about I call him? I'm sure he's going out of his mind by now."
He sank down on the couch with the phone in his hand.
"Yes!"
He sounded furious and desperate.
"Jeez, Booth!!! Light up! She's here!!!"
Booth couldn't remember ever feeling so relieved.
"Angela, is that true? She's really there?"
Angela grinned, because she could imagine Booths charm smile spreading.
And it was.
"Yes, Booth. She's here. She's with me and she's okay."
"I'll be there in ten minutes."
He dropped the phone and reached for Brennans keys."
"I'm coming, Temperance. I'm coming."
In the mean while Number Two was talking to Number One on the phone.
"Yes, sir. I'm positive. She arrived here alone. Should I proceed with the plan?"
"Yes, sir. I'll wait for him."
"I'll talk to you soon."
Angela rose when she heard loud knocking on the door.
"Jeez, Booth, you don't have to knock that loudly." Angela muttered while opening the door.
She screamed when Number Two grabbed her by her arms and pushed her to the floor. She hit her head and lost consciousness.
"Ange?"
Brennans voice was shaky.
She froze when she saw Angela lying on the floor. Without thinking she kneeled down and felt for a pulse.
She's just unconscious.
She whimpered when Number Two knocked her out to.
He dragged Angela to her bedroom and tied her to the bed.
"Time to wait for Booth..."
