Before I start I just wanted to make it clear that this Fic is set somewhere between series 3 and 4, before Booth and Brennan get together.
She had nowhere to hide, the alleyway was empty. The only choice left to her was to make herself as small as possible, so that's what she did. Ignoring the pain travelling up her arm from her hurt fingers, she wrapped both hands around her knees and bought them as close to her chest as possible, waiting to be discovered.
The clopping stopped a small distance away, Temperance watched as the person stooped down to pick up her jacket and approached her again. As she did so, she rested her head on her hands, trying to pull herself into a ball. The person clearly hadn't seen her face, and was talking softly to her.
"Hello? Don't worry you're safe now, My name is Angela can you tell me your name?"
Angela took a careful step closer, making the women on the ground whimper in fright but not out of fear of what had happened, the fear of being seen by someone she knew.
She let out another whimper, and tried to tell Angela to stop but her voice came out as a whisper that was barely audible.
Clop. Another step. Angela was barely a metre away now, holding the jacket in front of her as if she were about to catch a wild animal.
"I'm just going to put this jacket over your shoulders, alright? Then I'm going to call an ambulance."
Temperance shuffled away slightly and let out a small squeal, making it clear her advances were unwelcome.
"Hey, it's ok I won't hurt you, I promise. Just let me put this over your shoulder… Oh my god!"
The streetlamp she thought was broken had flickered to life, illuminating them both. Angela may not have seen her face but she didn't need to, she knew her best friend better than anyone else on the planet, the unique bone structure and hair colour were enough to give away her identity. Angela took another step forward and wrapped the jacket around Brennan, causing her to struggle under her grip, but Angela held her there until she stopped and sat down beside her, holding her close.
Several moments passed before she raised her head and stared at Angela's warm gaze, they stayed like this for a moment, one looking deep into the other's eyes before she turned her gaze to the streetlamp high above. Angela reached for her phone, "I'm just going to call an ambulance , sweetie"
"NO... Please" Brennan begged in a barely audible whimper, Angela hadn't heard her best friend this scared in a long time, the child from within her shone through and Angela couldn't help but comply to her demands, but Brennan needed medical help, the blood on Angela's scarf from her open neck wound made this obvious, so Angela did the next best thing she knew how to , she scrolled down her contact list and dialled the number.
"hey , sweetie ,I really need your help...I'm at Ashville lane , out the back alley"
"Thanks...Please hurry"
