About an hour later, Cam and Brennan were sitting in an empty classroom with one office desk and one chair nearby. Each had a salad and bottled water in front of them. After finishing their meals, Cam got up and threw the salad containers in the garbage. She then moved to sit in front of her colleague, waiting for her when she was ready.

"I don't know how to do this, Cam."

Cam reached out and took her hand. "Doctor Brennan, how do you start reviewing each case?"

Brennan looked at her like she was crazy. "By examining the bones after they are cleaned."

"Well then, that's what we do here."

Brennan gave her another strange look. "Cam, there are no remains or skeletons—"

"Doctor Brennan! What I mean is look at the skeleton of the case. Pick each bone apart one by one. Take all emotion out of the equation."

Cam grabbed an object from her bag and then walked to the dry erase board. "Look at only the facts Doctor Brennan and examine that day like you would your bones. That, Temperance, is how you will solve the mystery of Seeley and find your way back to each other."

Brennan looked at her with doubt before examining her surroundings. "Cam, I have to ask, why are we here….in the basement of St. George's University Medical Center? I think this is part of their bomb shelter."

"You are correct. Doctor Banno told me about this room. It used to be used as a skills lab but now it's storage."

"Angela and Hodgins' Doctor Banno?"

"Yes, Sherry and I went to Med school together. Good friend of mine."

"Why couldn't we bring our cell phones? Why did you turn off the GPS in your car?" Brennan sat for a moment. "Pelant, isn't it? You're afraid he is still watching us."

"I am, plus I wanted somewhere where we could talk in private and not be interrupted."

"I see. Thank you.

Cam gave her the dry erase marker. "Okay, Doctor Brennan. Go through your day. Use the board."

Brennan walked to the board and began writing. "Okay….I went grocery shopping...I came home." At Cam's silent encouragement, she continued. "I told Booth they were out of jerky and he insinuated that I was full of mud."

"That's full of shit, but please continue."

"He was opening a gift from his mother and stepfather…a very sexist hula lamp. We then talked about marriage. He said….he said….'Marriage is starting to look really good on you'."

She took a moment before continuing. "We talked about how I wouldn't propose to him, and then he asked how I could catch the bouquet before throwing an orange at me."

Not seeing Cam's "huh" face, Brennan continued to remember as she wrote on the board. "We got to the crime scene and we went back and forth about the fact I have issues with catching except the bouquet at his mother's wedding."

Cam's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but kept quiet as she listened.

"At the lab, we has a disagreement after he figured out Pelant was targeting FBI agents. I…I told him he was not allowed to die and he said he understood. After he left, I realized that I wanted to marry him, so I went out and got the jerky I lied about and I called him to meet with me"

She inhaled. "I gave him the jerky, told him I wanted him to be happy, and how one of us could die first...then I asked him to marry me. After I promised that I didn't want to get married just because of Pelant….he smiled and said 'yes' before he kissed me." she croaked out as she began to cry.

Cam didn't want to, but knew she had to keep her going. "What about after that, Doctor Brennan? I know you told us and I know you met up with Seeley when we figured out Sweets was the target, but what happened after that?"

Brennan took a drink from her water bottle to collect her thoughts before writing again. "We were with Christine at the park. He stated he thought I would want an African ceremony with giraffes and I told him I understood how much an archaic Catholic ceremony meant to him. His phone rang and he said it was his mother."

"What did he do after that?"

Brennan thought for a minute. "He got up and walked away to talk on the phone."

"Has he done that before?"

Brennan was silent for a moment. "No, no he never has. Of course he only started talking to her a few months ago, but no, he never left the room for a conversation with her."

"What happened next?"

"I looked up and he finished his call. He had a strange look on his face, but I waved to him. He was quiet after we got home and throughout dinner. He insisted on giving Christine her bath and wanted to put her to bed. I let him because it seemed really important to him. He came down the stairs and I showed him the bridal magazine Angela gave me. Then he told me…"

Brennan inhaled sharply to maintain her emotional equilibrium. "He told me….'I don't think we should do it.''

Brennan was silent for a minute, and then suddenly knocked her water bottle across the room in rage, shocking Cam. "Why, Cam….why would he talk about wanting to get married for almost a decade, then when I finally realize I favor his point of view, he says 'I don't think we should do it!' Why!?"

Cam knew she wasn't much into personal contact, but her instincts told her it was necessary. She got up and hugged Brennan who looked close to breaking down. Before either could respond, a loud bang was heard as the women turned around to see Booth running into the room.

"Seeley, what—"

"Not now, Cam. Bones, Angela is here in Emergency. We have to go."

"Booth, what is going on?" Brennan asked in shock. "She had mild food poisoning when she left today."

Booth saw that there was writing on the board, seeing his name and Bones, but didn't have time to wonder why. "Bones, I don't know. All I know is I got a frantic phone call from Hodgins. He had just put Angela to bed when she started having difficulty breathing. Max has Christine and Michael. It's bad Bones. Really bad. Come on."

Forgetting all the broken vows the last few weeks, Brennan took his hand as they, followed by a frantic Cam ran out of the room.
