2:15pm The Collar Institute Dr Baudette's lab
Knock knock, "Dr Earth quake?" Booth called out in a questioning tone.
"SO tell me what am I looking for?" He states as he looks at his partner.
Bones turns to him, in her usual scientific tone "Any apparatus that could facilitate the creation of a sonic standing wave."
Booth with a usual confusing look sighs and leas against a stainless steel wall." SO what am I looking for again?"
"You are leaning on it!"
" Booth jumps off the wall in suprise"Right I knew that, alright look at this" Booth grabs the door handle and tugs grunting a few times before it opens. "Right I will just get forensics to look for blood."
Bones walk the resonance chamber and looks over her shoulder at him "There won't be any blood; the remains were frozen at this point." She glances around the chamber deep in thought. "The natural frequency of the human body is between 3 and 7 hertz…."
Booth interrupts "Bodies have natural frequencies?"
Brennen rolls her eyes a little "naturally they would increase dramatically if the body….."
Suddenly behind them the chambers door is heaved and closes with a sealing sound
"Whoa Hey!" Booth yells as he realizes what just happened. He goes to the door and tries banging on it with his shoulder trying to get it open.
"Forget it Booth" she states in a slightly startled manner. Bones has a very worried look on her face and even though she is usually in control, the tight area and the realization that they cant get out starts to worry her. "Were in a high pressure chamber, that door can withstand the force of at least..." a noise sounds in the chamber like a jet engine starting "Oh No!!!"
"OH NO WHAT OH NO!!
Brennen now with eyes as wide as quarters yells over the noise "we have to get out of here..."
With the same expression as his partner Booth yells "Or what, we'll explode?!"
With that a loud shrill noise pierces the partner's ears causing them to wince in excruciating pain.
"Booth what we have to do here is try and counter act the wavelength!"
'WHAT?"
He can barely hear her but he sees her face making the shrilling noise so he repeats what she is doing. He can feel the vibrations although instead of a vibration it feels like his skin is heating up, his mind is reeling and he can't seem to see properly.
Booth feels his body start to loose its strength as he yells "IT'S NOT WORKING!!"
"IF WE STOP OUR BRAINS WILL TURN TO PUDDING!!" Brennen yells starting to feel her body weakening as well. She starts to slump to the floor as her tones to counteract the wavelength turn to whimpers.
Both partners fall slowly to the floor. Booth can feel blood start to fall from his nose as he looks over and see Brennen doing the same. He forces his brain to work as he reaches for his gun. As he pulls it out his brain stops working like it should, seeing the gun in his hands he tries to remember what to do with it. His brain can't get a grasp. Being a sniper trained ranger he should be able to flick off the safety and pull the trigger like it was a cap on a bottle, but he just can't grasp it. Once again all his strength seems to vanish and the gun falls from his hand, skittering towards the door.
Looking over he see Bones laying on the floor wincing in pain as blood is now coming from her ears and nose. He falls beside her as she looks up at his face. She can't remember what she should be doing to try and counteract the noise but she sees his eyes. She reaches her hand up and grabs his as he reaches for her. He falls next to her and they pull each other closer. Looking into each others eyes they both realize this is the end, their brainwaves turning to mush. Yet even though they can't seem to do what usually comes to them naturally they can still see the emotions in each other. Both of them form words on their lips, although not heard each of them hear it load in their hearts. The words flow of each others lips in unison "I LOVE YOU!!"
The last thing Special Agent Seeley Booth remembers is the arms of his partner wrapping around him her face against his and the calm feeling he feels in her embrace.
The last thing Dr Temperance Brennen feels are her partner's arms closing around her, feeling safe and secure like she never had before, knowing she finally is not alone. She finally knows love!!
5:45 pm the Collar Institute
Seventy five agents swarm the Collar Institute. Trying to be as decent as possible Director Cullen and the other agents secure all entrances making their presence known. "I want a search of every room in here! No one leaves from this moment forward; I don't care if it's a courier, or the Pope himself!" Cullen yells at all his agents. Scientists everywhere stand frozen. Never had they seen this many suits with guns in their lives. Some were frightened and others just looked down their noses in disgust.
As the agents pair into two man teams Charlie finds himself with Agent Perotta. She is a good agent, not to mention very beautiful. Charlie and she both have respect for Booth. They like working with him although Charlie thinks Perotta probably would like to work with him outside the office as well. He smiles at the thought knowing that even though her seductive smile and striking looks would make most men fall to their knees, they didn't even hold a candle to Dr Brennen. At least not for Booth.
Perotta and Charlie move from room to room, finally entering Dr Baudette's lab. Walking in Charlie sees all kinds of strange contraptions. "This must be a geek's heaven" he laughs and sees a smile form on Perotta face.
Charlie looks over and sees what looks like a large walk in freezer. Hmm he thinks as he walks around it seeing the door. He shines his flashlight toward the window and looks through. Immediately he feels like his heart and stomach have traded places and tastes the bile rise in his throat. He turns to Perotta yelling "CALL THE PAPRAMEDICS AND CULLEN; MAN DOWN!!!!!!"He yanks at the door as Perotta yells into the radio, "Agent down, Dr Baudette's lab, need paramedics and all agents on scene immediately!" Perotta still doesn't know what Charlie saw but realizes it can't be good. Just then the door flings open with a whoosh and Perotta feels the same thing Charlie did only seconds ago.
The paramedics arrive seconds before Cullen, being guided into the chamber by a sickly looking Perotta. As he comes in he looks at his worst fear. There in the corner of the chamber lies Dr Brennen and Agent Booth, their arms wrapped around each other. At a glance it would have seemed like a couple being close to each other, but Cullen could already see the paleness of their skin and the streaks of dried blood from their noses and ears. The paramedics lean down and check pulses but they already know. So does everyone in the room. Perotta feels tears form in her eyes, while Cullen faces grips in anger. All the agents lower their heads at the EMT says "I am sorry but there is nothing we can do, it looks like it has been a couple of hours."
Cullen grabs his radio with such a force it breaks the battery door, "I WANT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS BUILDING DETAINED AND QUESTIONED ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN IN THIS ROOM, FIND ME WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS! IF ANYONE RESISTS OR GETS IN THE WAY….. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!" Everyone in the room feels the compression of his voice on the air. Agents rush out of the room finding every person working at the lab and start getting the information. Cullen walks into the chamber and sees their bodies. He feels sadness; Booth was like a son to him. Every since he lost his daughter from cancer after Booth had used his sick time to help him he realized he really liked this young man. And even though he didn't like Dr Brennen in the start, the passion and commitment he saw from Booth made him realize she was alright, even if he still wouldn't let her have a gun. At that moment he grabbed his cell phone dialing a number.
"Dr Lance Sweets FBI" Sweets said as his phone interrupted him from talking to Gordon Gordon Wyatt. "Sweets this is Cullen, I need you to meet me at the Jeffersonian parking lot in about 30 minutes." Sweets eyebrow raised, he never had to meet with the director outside of the office. "Yes Sir" Sweets said "I was just conversing here with Dr Wyatt about Agent Booth and Dr Brennen." Sweets smiled for he knew it was his favorite topic. "Good bring Dr Wyatt too, but do not, I REPEAT DO NOT ENTER THE JEFFERSONIAN WITHOUT ME!!" Now Sweets was a little worried, "Is… is everything ok Director Cullen?" he said a slight hitch in his voice. "No Dr Sweets we just found Agent Booths and Dr Brennen's bodies, and I need your help in telling their team!" Gordon Wyatt looked perplexed as Sweets phone fell hitting his glass table and shattering it to pieces. It was almost as loud as the thud of Sweets heart dropping into oblivion.
