New Story for Brennan

Chapter 20

On Friday Booth walked into the Lab at 3 in the afternoon.

"Let's go Bones, we have a case." Booth said as he walked into the Lab.

"But Booth I just started looking at the bodies from the last time we were out. We haven't even been able to identify them yet."

Her comment stopped Booth in his tracks. 'Think fast Booth, if you don't say something now she is going to suspect something is up' he said to himself. He looked at Hodgins for help.

Hodgins came down by Booth. "I'm sorry Dr. Brennan I forgot to tell you that you got a call from the president of the Jeffersonian, Don Price. He wanted me to tell you that Booth was coming with a new case and we were to give it top priority over any existing cases." Hodgins said.

Brennan looked at the two men and thought about it for a moment. It just wasn't like Hodgins to forget something that important. 'Something isn't adding up here.' She thought to herself but she decided to go along with them anyway. She put down the bone that she was looking at and told her current intern to continue checking the bones for cause of death.

"Okay Booth I'll be with you in a second." She quickly went into her office grabbed her coat and purse and joined Booth. Without her knowing, as soon as she left Cam, Jack and Angela jumped into their own cars and headed for the Washington Federal Prison.

The bus load of Psychiatrists and their patients, that were having the same kind of problem as Brennan were already at the prison and in the prison guards own gymnasium.

All of the exercise equipment had been pushed to the side and covered with a heavy canvas so that nothing could be used by "anyone".

It took Booth only 30 minutes to get to the prison. As they approached the prison entrance gates, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Brennan sit up straight and look at him.

"Is the victim here at the prison?"

"Yes and it's going to be messy so I brought an older pair of pants for you and one of my T-shirts." Booth said.

"Why did you do that? I have my work clothes that I always use."

"Uh, you don't remember, because you were asleep but the last time you used them I… don't get mad at me now… but I tried to wash them for you and they kind of melted in the dryer."

Booth could see Brennan visibly relax. "That's okay Booth I knew, the first day I saw them, that this could possibly happen since they didn't have any washing instructions on them. The Jeffersonian sends them to a special cleaner that is experienced in handling special material." She said with her hand over her mouth in an attempt to hide her smile.

All of the guards had been informed about the match so they were let through with no problem. When Booth parked the SUV both Brennan and Booth went to the back and pulled out her equipment that she usually used to examine the remains of the victim.

As they went through the entrance the warden approached them. "Hi Gene, this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan. Bones this is Warden Sanchez." Booth stepped to the side so that the warden and Bones could greet each other.

"If you'll follow me I'll take you the gym." The warden proceeded to take them through several locked heavily guarded gates and doors after giving Brennan time to change.

As the warden escorted them to the gym Cam, Jack and Angela were able to get into the gym before Booth and Brennan entered. Booth had given them more time to get there by going the long way around to the gym. Normally they would have gone through the back entrance which was the shortest distance.

The warden entered the door to the gym first then stepped aside and waved them in. Brennan stepped in after Booth. Right away she looked around the gym for the victim. She looked at Booth questioningly then at the warden.

"Where is the body? You haven't moved it have you?"

Booth looked at her and reached for the case that Brennan was holding and gently took it from her hand without saying anything.

The warden spoke instead. "Dr. Brennan, the victim is indeed here. We already have the accused perpetrator in custody." On the other side of the gym they heard a door open. A guard entered first followed by the sound of the clinking of chains as what appeared to be a prisoner was led in.

Brennan stared at the man that was led in. She heard a noise at the top of the walls of the gym. For the first time she looked up and noticed what appeared to be a second story at the top of the walls of the gym. She looked back at Ortiz, the man they had brought in under heavy guard and chained so that he could only walk with a shuffling walk.

"What is going on here Booth? Why did you bring me here?"

Booth could see the look in her eyes. He saw something that he knew was not a part of Brennan's natural makeup.

Up on the guard walk Angela saw the look also. She made her way down to Brennan. Sweets followed her. They came to a stop though when they saw Booth grab Brennan by her arms and turn her towards him.

"I told Sweets what happened to you last week when we investigated and retrieved the bodies of the two victims that are now at the Jeffersonian." Brennan's eyes were as wide as saucers and she was constantly looking at the door.

Booth shook her slightly. "Bones, look at me." He waited for her to look at him and only at him. She slowly turned back to him and concentrated on his face. She didn't let her gaze wander to her left or to her right.

"Okay, now that I have your attention I want you to listen to me. You can't go on like this and remain my partner in the field. I know you like I know the back of my hand and this is not who you are. You are one of the bravest women that I know. You have a brown belt in karate and you're the woman that put down Ortiz when he dared to put a hand on you at FBI headquarters. One on one you can take on any man, even me. Ortiz needed his gang to help him kidnap and rape you. Don't forget that it took several men to hold onto you. Now where is my Bones? Where is Dr. Temperance Brennan, the most intelligent woman that I know and the only person that I know of that can think more logically then Mr. Spock?"

Booth could see her relax. She took a deep breath. "Why are we here Booth?"

He leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "We are here so that you can kick Ortiz's ass." Booth stepped back and looked at her. He found what he wanted, a big grin that slowly widened her lips until they were stretched thin in the biggest grin that he had ever seen on her face.

Sweets stepped forward and to Brennan's side. "Look up to the second floor above the walls of the gym Dr. Brennan." She pulled her eyes away from Booth and looked up. She didn't know why she hadn't seen them before. Behind the rails she could see 12 women and she wasn't sure but she thought she saw 12 men standing slightly behind the women also.

"Who are they and why are they here?" Brennan asked as she looked down and acknowledged Angela and Jack also with a nod of her head.

"They are 12 patients along with their Psychiatrists. They are here to see you confront your attacker, your rapist, the murderer of yours and Booth's unborn child. Like you, these women were raped and unnecessarily beaten, almost to the point of death for several of them. It is important that you confront Ortiz Dr. Brennan, if you don't you will continue to let this man control you."

To everyone's surprise, when she looked up, they saw tears coming down her face. She wiped her tears away with the back of her hand and looked over at Ortiz. She saw that the guards had removed his chains and backed away. When she looked at his face she saw a smirk on his face.

When Ortiz saw Dr. Brennans tears shinning in the light his smile grew even more. That's when he made a big mistake. He winked at her and grabbed his penis and testicles through his pants.

She looked back at Booth. "Why did he do that?"

"He wants to know if you've come back for more of him." After he said that he saw his partner come back to life. Her eyes were no longer as big as saucers but calm and she had her usual look when she was in full command of her surroundings. Angela moved over to stand by Booth.

She whispered to him "That's the same look she always has when she is analyzing the suitability of a new intern."

"You mean like when she is deciding to eat them or let them go unscathed?" Booth said with a slight smile that he did his best to hide.

"Exactly." Angela said then backed up to stand by her husband.

Brennan walked to the middle of the gym and just stared at Ortiz. Ortiz started to get uneasy. He started to lean on one side then the other and at the same time trying to put on an air of superiority. He was failing miserably.

Booth took a step closer. "She's waiting for you to give her another lesson in how a woman should act and keep her mouth shut until spoken to." They all waited for Ortiz to make a move. He stood as still as a statue.

"No one will intervene Ortiz. This is between you and Dr. Brennan. If you are able to overtake her then you will be considered the winner. No one will take revenge."

Still yet Ortiz didn't move. Booth tried to think of what he could say in order to get a reaction out of him.

From behind he heard Bones say something for the first time since he started talking to Ortiz.

"Come on Ortiz I want to see if you are as good as you say you are. You see I need for you to take me again because I couldn't feel you. I reasoned that it was because I had just had intercourse that morning and I was stretched further then you could fill." They all could see that Dr. Brennan's words were having the affect that Booth's couldn't. Ortiz's face was starting to turn red from his temper taking over his thought processes.

"Just a little more Bones." Booth said in a low voice.

Brennan heard him so she took that finale step. "I'm waiting Ortiz or would you like several of the guards to hold me, just in case."

It was quite for only a few seconds more, Ortiz launched himself at Brennan without warning. She was ready for him though and easily stepped aside. For a man of his build Booth was surprised at how quickly Ortiz recovered. In comparison to Brennan though he was slow because while Ortiz was repositioning himself Bones spun around and hit him with her heavy boot right on the side of his face. She hit him so hard that he spun around but didn't fall so she hit him again by throwing herself at him feet first. Her aim was true and her boots landed in his solar plexus. Brennan could hear the women on the second floor cheering her on and applauding while Ortiz was holding onto his stomach and trying to get up.

After a minute or two he was finally able to get to his feet. When she saw him having a hard time her mind went back to a similar situation in one of her books. She went over to his side and pretended to want to help him. She reached for his arm, "Here, let me help you." Ortiz did exactly as she thought he would and grabbed her around her neck and turned her around so that she was pressed against his chest. Brennan elbowed him in his stomach as hard as she could. As Ortiz buckled over Brennan grabbed his arm and flipped him over and onto his back. While he was down she did something that Booth didn't expect, she began to kick him between his legs over and over again. Ortiz screamed in pain and tried to protect what was left of his manhood.

"Bones stop I think that's enough." Booth yelled at her in an attempt to get through her current state.

The women on the 2nd floor cheered her on. "Don't stop, don't stop, kick him again until they pop out."

Booth's words didn't stop her but hearing the women cheering her on did. She stared at Ortiz on the floor and sanity slowly returned to her eyes. Temperance Brennan realized, for the first time in her adult life, she had lost control of her thoughts and actions. She covered her face with her hands she didn't want anyone to see it. Because if they did she knew they would see how surprised and ashamed she was of her own actions. After a few minutes she lowered her hands and looked at Ortiz.

"Who is the better person now Ortiz. Once again I proved myself to be the better fighter and I didn't even need anyone to hold your arms and neck." She looked up at the guards. "I think you better take him to the infirmary now."

Two of the guards pulled Ortiz up but he couldn't stand yet so they dragged him to the infirmary.

Booth came to stand by her side. "Are you alright?"

She slowly turned to him. "Yes I think I'll be alright now. If you don't mind Booth I think I would like to go back with Sweets and the rest of the women."

Booth looked at her and said "I understand Bones. I'll be waiting for you at your apartment." He gave her a kiss on her cheek then turned and left. He looked towards Jack and saw Angela leave his side and join Bones.
