I have absolutely no problem with bad reviews, they make me go back and realize I should've done a better job checking my work; HOWEVER, if a certain anonymous reviewer sends me another message complaining on my sentence structure and bad spelling I will freak.

Normally I would not mind, but said person spelled punctuation wrong, sentence wrong, horrific wrong, and grammar wrong. This was all while telling me to watch my spelling.

Point of the story is... don't act as nasty as that person and be hypocritical of my writing, when that person sucks just as well. For most this doesn't apply, and you may continue to complain about my writing because it does keep me on my toes.

That's all, sorry it took so long.

"I want to be off this case immediately"

"The Rational thinking Irrationally"

Her throat constricted painfully as tears welled in her eyes. This was for the better though, she thought; the farther away he was the better.

"Uh huh, this is exactly why partners don't have romantic relationships. One fight and next thing I know I'm getting calls to break that partnership up. Then two days later they want to be partners again because they've reconciled their differences. It's not happening. You've fought so hard for Booth to be your partner, you can keep him."

"This has nothing to do with our personal relationship."

"Then tell me what it is then? Please I'd love to know" he said sarcastically.

"Due to the recent stress, I feel that I need a break from working with the FBI."

"So it's not just Booth, It's the whole FBI?"

"Yes"

"Dr. Brennan you have an obligation on behalf of the Jeffersonian to work with the FBI. You are also the one that fought to be in the field with Booth. Now you want to do paperwork in the lab?"

"On a temporary basis"

"Fine how much time do you need? You'll get your vacation after this case is through."

"I'll need at least until this case is over"

Cullen dropped his pen that he was twirling in his hands. "We need you on this case Dr. Brennan. You can't just pick and choose your murder victims."

"I have done more than enough to be able to take off this one case, and I have full trust in my team and in Agent Booth to be able to find the murderer and gather the information needed for a conviction."

"Why are you dropping this case now?" Cullen was truly shocked at her words. This was far unlike the Dr. Brennan he knew.

Brennan sighed trying to find a good enough excuse to get out of it. "Mentally I do not feel that I can work on this case without endangering my fellow co-workers."

"Alright fine, if you can get Sweets to sign off on this than you are free to sit around and do paperwork. I'm not happy with it but I've learned there's no use in arguing with you."

"Thank you"

"Take your vacation Dr. Brennan and use it to do some soul searching because I need you and Booth back working one hundred percent."

With that he hung up and Brennan's head dropped. She was abandoning a case, her friends, her partner, and their victim.

She was the only one who could solve this and she was neglecting to help.

Never in her life had she felt worse, so why did she think this was the right thing?

Rationally it would make more sense to solve the case and find the bastard responsible, no matter what the cost.

She wasn't thinking rationally though.

The thought of losing Booth scared her more than anything. If she lost him, her world would come crashing down.

Rain softly started to pour on the roof of her car, breaking the silence, and she was reminded that she was still at the cemetery.

Booth would be waiting at her house to confront her and to get her to open up.

It would be better if she pushed him away now.

Brennan started the car and headed back towards her house. When she saw his truck outside, just like she thought, she started to panic. She had never been good at lying to Booth; he could see right through her no matter what.

If she told him the truth, he would refuse to leave her side and who knows what he would do if they ever caught this killer.

If she lied and he didn't buy it then she'd have to tell him the truth.

How was she supposed to lie to a man whose job also included reading people's expressions and catch them lying, when that man is also the only when she's ever really loved?

Review PLEASE I know people are reading, the story stats and traffic don't lie!! And FYI I already have two more chapters written right now. (Hint hint)
