Thank you all so much for your reviews and forgive me for taking so long to post this chapter but, I was trying to learn about riddles….I still haven't learned a thing. It seems that riddles can be any type of play on words that end up in a problem to solve. I'm really not good with riddles so please forgive me….you'll see why I ask that of you soon.

Thank you all for your reviews and I really hope everyone reviews this chapter too. I always look forward to them and my story kind of depends on them as well—it builds my self confidence and you know how a writer depends on that—

As always, no matter how hard I pray I am still not the owner of Bones or any of the characters…*she sighs* Oh, how I wish Hart Hanson would give in to my pleas! Maybe if I shower him with cash….*she shakes her head letting the image leave her mind*

Here it is you guys!

"Cam I need to talk to her! You're telling me you don't know where she is?" Booth screamed to her over the phone.

"I told you this already! She called me and told me that she was taking a sabbatical and that she told Angela how to find out where she was." Cam sighed wishing that Booth didn't have to jump through so many hoops just to apologize to Brennan.

"I want to talk to Angela." Booth stated clipping his words. Cam hesitated.

"Booth I don't think that's a good idea."

"Now!" He nearly growled into her ear. He hated to be so rude but his patience was being tested. It had only been a day since she stormed out of his apartment but it felt like years. He had to find her and apologize to her whole-heartedly before it was too late. He's left so many messages on her phone that now when he calls the recording tells him that her inbox is full. He even camped out in front of her door last night hoping that if she was home and just not answering her door she would come out and let him at least speak to her. He knew that if she was in her apartment and just not coming to the door that she would have to come out eventually, and if she wasn't in her apartment, he knew she would have to come home eventually. However after ten and a half hours and bruised knuckles on both his hands from knocking on the door so desperately, one of her neighbors finally came out to tell him that Bones had come and left quickly the day before and she has not been back since. This meant that she hadn't been in her apartment since she ran from him. He didn't know what he would have to do to find her but from the sound in Cam's voice he knew Bones had made it difficult. He didn't mind that so much as he did not knowing weather or not she was safe.

"I'm not allowed to talk to you." Angela informed him immediately as she picked up the phone.

"Angela, please! I know I upset her but I—" He was cut off by the sound of the dial tone. A growl come from his throat and he knew then that he'd just have to go down there and see Angela in person.

She was sitting at her desk when he walked in and she saw a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Booth!" Angela exclaimed as he stalked toward her.

"Listen." Booth barked at her. "You've known me for a long time Angela and you know that I wouldn't lie to her unless I was desperate. I know that's no excuse and, I am sorry I lied to her. I am guilt ridden and seeing the pain in her face when I told her broke my heart!" He was standing in front of her desk with his hands gripping the edge of it. His shoulders where hunched and his face was at her level. He looked straight into her eyes when he spoke.

"But, I love her with every piece of my heart! Somewhere deep beneath her anger she may still love me but, I will never know unless I can see her and speak to her face to face. So please Angela, tell me where she is." His eyes and his voice exuded sadness as he begged her. She was speechless for what seemed like an eternity but, when her voice finally came back to her she knew she had to tell this heart broken man the truth.

"I don't know where she is but, she gave me this." She handed him a sheet of notebook paper that she had read over and over again.

"She told me to give it to you if I absolutely couldn't help but to feel sorry for you." She rolled her eyes. "Like I would be able to resist those puppy dog eyes."

She had memorized what Brennan had written on the paper so, when Booth read it aloud she was reading along in her mind.

If you can decipher this riddle than you have deserved the answer.

HandZ in the fire burn red

That is what A wise man once said

Can he ever return from there?

He would if he really did care.

Kicking and screaming he would go

To the end of Sweets and Monroe.

"What the hell does that mean?"

She knew it would take him a while to decipher her riddle but she also knew that he would eventually. She hadn't made it too hard and he was more likely better with riddles than she was. She was better with math problems, scientific theory, and of course bones. She knew it wouldn't take him too long but, that didn't bother her because it would be much harder for him once he did decipher it. She still wasn't sure weather she wanted him to find her or not. Her brain couldn't make sense of anything pertaining to Booth. She was angry with him, that much she knew, but she was also very much in love with him. It was a strange feeling especially since she had never really had this feeling before. That wasn't entirely true. She knew she loved her father, her mother, and of course, Russ but, this was very different than the love she had for her family. This was love for someone she knew would never leave her, never abandon her, and she thought would never lie to her. It turns out that she was wrong about that.

Just the thought of it made her eyes swell with tears again. She swatted at the salty water falling from her eyes onto her cheeks with frustration. From the moment that she found out about Booth's bold faced lie she had been an emotional wreck, which irritated her even more. She had never been this emotional about anything but, her family. When it came to them she knew her emotions that she so carefully packs away in any other situation, would win out over her logic. She didn't like that one bit and now here she was letting emotion get the better of her precious, protective logic.

Her cell phone rang and she immediately looked at the caller ID. She sighed and flipped her phone open.

"Yes, Angela?" Her voice cracked and she attempted to clear her throat.

"Oh sweetie, are you okay?" Angela's concern told Brennan that she needed to do a better job of concealing her anguish.

"Of course Angela, I've not been hurt."

"Well, that's a load of crap and you know it. Sweetie…" Angela hesitated and Brennan became curious.

"What is it Ang?"

"You told me to warn you when he figured it out."

"So, he did?"

"Yeah, and as you predicted, he's not happy in the least."

"Good. Thank you Ang, you did well."

"He's very sorry sweetie. I could tell that he is broken up inside." The tone of Angela's voice was sad and apologetic at the same time.

"That doesn't excuse what he did to me Ang. You of all people should know that." Brennan closed her phone, hanging up on Angela. She couldn't listen to anymore talk of him when it only produced these annoying salty tears. As Brennan stood and began to stretch she felt that powerful sickness in the pit of stomach that she had felt all day, and she knew that that she was going to vomit again. Her logic mind told her that she was sick with a virus but her emotions told her that she was sick with sadness. Sadness that Booth had betrayed her trust just when she was beginning to trust again, sadness that she opened up to him the way she did just to be betrayed again by someone she loved….that's ridiculous! Her logical mind shot back at her as she ran to the bathroom.

Really you guys I'm sooo sorry about the bad riddle but...well there is no excuse! sorry!
