Hey everyone I'm sorry that this has taken so long but, that's what I get for taking on too many things at once...This chapter his better than the last on so plese read...I hope no one took offence to Booth holding a gun to Zack's head but, come on you know that he's treatened it a few times on the show and I really think he would do it just to scare Zack into giving him the info he wanted don't you?

As always I don't own Bones.

"Tell me what you know. Now, Zack." Booth looked coldly at Zack knowing he would be scared stiff but, he didn't care right now. He wanted his Bones.

"S-she's in the Bahamas. B-berry islands. She's going to be very angry with me." Zack winced and even though he was quite sure that Booth would never hurt him, it was hard to be sure of that when he had a gun in his face.

"Thank you. Now what's with the last part of this riddle? Who's Monroe?" Booth kept the gun aimed at Zack's head. He would never actually pull the trigger of course but, Zack didn't know that.

Booth slipped the worn piece of paper to Zack. Booth was sure the kid had just glanced at the riddle but he answered his question quickly and it was the answer Booth was afraid of.

"Monroe is the name of the street that Dr. Sweets lives on isn't it?" Zack was beginning to sweat and Booth thought it better to put his gun back into its holster before Zack died of sheer fear.

"What would I need Sweets for if I already know where she is?"

"Ummm." Booth understood the look on Zack's face and Booth read it clearly. It was as if Zack was saying, please, please, don't make me tell you.

"What?" After Zack didn't answer, Booth put the gun back to his temple and asked again. "What are you not telling me?"

"She's hidden her hotel location. It's off the map and no one would be able to tell you unless she told Dr. Sweets exactly where to find her." Booth could feel his anger rising and yet he wasn't angry with Bones…how could he be? She was innocent and perfect and in all his years of knowing her he'd never seen her make one stupid mistake like the one he had made when he lied to her. He was angry with himself for hurting her. He never thought that he could make such a stupid mistake in his life.

Booth removed the gun from Zack's head and sighed.

"Thank you Zack." Booth swallowed his pride. "I owe you one." He could feel the tears welling up in his eyes and he pushed them back as far as they would go. He was not one to cry. As a matter of fact he couldn't remember the last time he cried. It had to have been more than three years ago when Brennan was buried alive in her car. He shook the tears from his eyes and walked away.

Ken had been hard to deal with. She was quite certain that he didn't take it well. Brennan had talked to him on the phone for nearly an hour explaining what had happened and why she couldn't marry him but, he still wasn't giving up.

"I guess, I can forgive you but, it will take some time…." Ken's voice broke and suddenly Bones wished she had told him in person instead of over the phone.

"Ken…I'm not sure I made myself clear but, I don't want to marry you. I really never did. I'm sorry, but you knew this when I reluctantly agreed. I didn't mean to hurt you but I won't hurt you anymore. I'm sorry." That was all she could say. Her life was in shambles but, she couldn't feel too sorry for Ken. She could count on two hands the number of times she told Ken, in the short time that they where together, how much she was apposed to marrying him but, he pushed and prodded until she finally agreed. Normally, she would never let anyone push her into doing something that she didn't want to do.

Sweets told her yesterday that the reason for her complete lack in logic when she said yes to Ken was a reaction to Booth's memory loss. Normally, Bones would disregard any psychological explanations for her actions. Psychology is a soft science. However, Sweets has surprised her over the years with his ability to understand the reasons behind human actions. So, she listened to him and she couldn't argue when he said that in some way she was hoping that her engagement to Ken would ease some of the loneliness that she had felt when Booth had lost his memory. Sweets had said that it had the opposite affect on her and made her feel even lonelier. She knew that to be true so, she couldn't argue with his theory.

"Ken, please understand that I can't marry you. I'm sure you can find someone one day that will want to marry you and have your children, you're an Alfa male and I'm sure you can find a younger more loving woman than me."

"But-"Brennan couldn't listen anymore.

"Bye Ken." Brennan hung up and put her head in her hands. She had been stuck in this hotel room for days and she was terrified to leave. What if he came back while I was out? She thought that she didn't want to see him but she couldn't make herself leave this room. She told herself that she didn't want to go anywhere and that she was too upset to try and leave. She also knew that she wanted to see him again. She wanted to look into his eyes and feel the way she always felt when she looked at him. She couldn't explain the feel but, knew Booth would say love. For some reason she also felt security, happiness, and of course arousal, when she looked into his coal dark eyes. Again she couldn't explain it; she only knew that it was illogical especially after he lied to her like that.

It was illogical to want to kiss him, to be held by him, to hear him say that he loved her, when she had been betrayed by him. Suddenly she wished that she hadn't made it so difficult for him to find her.

At that thought her cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID first, she then answered.

"Zack, he couldn't have figured that out so quickly."

"He didn't."

"Then why are you calling me?" She asked frankly.

"I told Agent Booth where to find you."

"What?"

"I told Agent Booth where to find you." Zack repeated loudly so that she would be able to hear him.

"I heard you Zack. Why did you tell him? I asked you to give him a difficult equation.

"He held a gun to my head and I'm terrified of him." Zack stated calmly. Brennan took a deep breath and wondered why her nerves where a wreak. She was just thinking about the fact that she wanted to see him and wished she hadn't made it so difficult to do so, but then again she didn't want to see him. She was angry with him and more than that she was disappointed in him.

"Ugh!" She let out a frustrated grunt at herself realizing that her thoughts where irrational and serving no good purpose.

"I'm sorry Dr. Brennan." Zack began to apologize thinking that her aggravation was with him.

"Its okay Zack don't worry about it. Hey, did he say anything about what he was going to do next?"

"Ummm."

"What Zack?"

"He asked about the last part of the riddle…I told him that Monroe was the name of Dr. Sweets' street. I apologize, Dr. Brennan."

"It's okay Zack, listen I have to make a phone call okay? Good bye."

She hung up the phone and as she began to dial Sweets' number she felt a sly smile creep across her face.

"Sweets, Its Dr. Brennan. Remember what I asked you to say to Agent Booth when he came over?"

"Yes and I still don't-"

"Well forget it." She said cutting him off.

"I have come up with a much better way of dealing with Booth but, you have to do exactly what I say."
