"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"

"For god's sake..."

The Camille Saroyan said aloud as she clambered out of bed, pulling on some jeans and a coat, she could hear the rain splashing violently against the plastic window frame and couldn't help but demise that the reason Angela was calling her to the alley was that she had either broken up with Hodgins and was too embarrassed to ask for help , or she was drunk of her head again and couldn't stand. Either way nothing could have prepared her for what she saw.

She pulled up to the street entrance in her little Toyota and reluctantly stepped out into the splashing rain, slamming the door behind her in a not so quiet protest against being woken up so early , she could see a small body in the distance , quivering in the rain, and slowly approached, trying her best to make out the figure past the rainwater which was clouding her eyes,

"Angela...Angela ?

"over here"

She approached the voice,

"Angela what the hell do you think you're...oh my god"

Angela raised her head to reveal a second person, someone she knew quite well. Her hand instantaneously rose to cover her mouth and she gasped in shock. Brennan was the strongest , bravest , toughest and most intelligent woman she had ever met, yet here she was. Lying timidly under Angela, her trench coat draped around her bare shoulders, her legs exposed and looking more vulnerable than ever .Cam was a cop, she didn't have to ask what had happened.

Angela stood up slowly, Brennan re-curling into the foetal position and cowering in the corner. Angela wiped the newly formed tears from the inner corners of her eyes, and slowly walked towards Cam , looking back on Brennan every now and again in a reassuring way, trying to hide how helpless and hopeless she was feeling inside. Cam was still standing in utter disbelief at what she was seeing, but she could tell by the way Angela was acting that they were both going to have to try their best to be strong, for Brennan's sake if nothing else.

"Cam, I'm so sorry ..it's justt...she wass..."

"It's ok" Replied the doctor in the most reassuring voice she could find, "I'm glad you called" Cam didn't even have to ask , all her experience, she knew what was going on. She had gotten to know Brennan over the years and knew she wouldn't be coming to the hospital, Angela's reason's for calling had already become apparent.

Both women turned back round to face the vulnerable Brennan, and without saying another word, Cam took the trench coat and wrapped it properly around Brennan, trying her best to keep the scientist's dignity intact, one last look to Angela , and they took a barely mobile Brennan and walked her to Cam's car, her feet trailing the floor as her injured legs gave way. When they finally reached the door, Cam lay Brennan in the back, Angela sitting with her, Brennan's shaking head in her lap, tears flowing softly down her legs. Cam put the car in gear and drove, to the only place she knew Brennan would feel comfortable, the only place she could truly call home.
