I don't own Bones, I know I have 206 in my body, but the Bones from Fox isn't mine.

Interference

Booth was out the door and racing to the Hoover. He called Shaw and asked her to call the rest of the team. Then he called Hacker, to fill him in on the situation. He knew Hacker could get him a chopper. He pulled up in front of the Hoover just as he finished the phone calls.

He went into the conference room and turned on the transponder. Nothing happened. He began yelling at the machine, as Angela and Hodgins came into the room.

Angela came up behind him. "Booth, the transmitter only has a radius of 200 miles. She must be farther than that from here."

"Shit. What happened last night? She was supposed to be with you."

"We left early, because Michael had a doctor's appointment. He had a bad reaction to his immunizations, and we had to take him to the hospital. We didn't get home until after midnight. I noticed that Bren called, but it was too late to call her back, so I thought I would talk to her today. She didn't leave a message, so we didn't know what happened."

"Where did she go? Could she be at the Jeffersonian?"

He knew she wasn't, he knew something was wrong, but he thought they had to cover all the bases. He called Cam.

"Hello, Booth what do you want it's so early?"

"Bones is missing. Could you find out if she's at the Jeffersonian and call me back?"

"Oh my God, Booth, what happened?"

"We don't know, just call me back ok?"

Cam called Micah.

"Micah, did you see Dr. Brennan leave last night?"

"Yes, she left with the young blond haired boy. Why did something happen? She was there very late, and I told her she should go home. She left at about nine I think,"

"Thanks, Micah. I'll call you back when I get more information."

"OK, I hope she's ok. I really like her."

"We all do Micah, thanks."

She called Booth back.

"What the hell took you so long?"

"Look Booth, I know you're worried, but waking people out of bed takes time. Micah said she left at about nine with Wendell."

"Where's Wendell?"

"I don't know. I'm just telling you what happened."

"OK, thanks Cam."

"I'll call you as soon as I find anything else out."

"Thanks."

Cam called Wendell, and when he didn't answer his phone, she started calling the other squints. No one knew where Wendell was. The only other option was to call the police.

By the time Cam called Booth back, Hacker had arrived. He called in a helicopter to start a search and rescue for Bones. Within minutes, the copter arrived. Booth ran up to the roof carrying the transponder to begin the search. Just as the copter lifted off, his phone rang.

"Booth."

"What Angela, I can barely hear you."

"Hodgins and I have some information."

"Ok, shoot."

The next voice he heard was Hodgins.

"Booth, last night when I called I tried to tell you that…"

"Hodgins I can barely hear you get to the point."

"Ok man, I found an area where I think he may have killed the victims. There was an anomaly in the soil. She's in the George Washington National Forest, just where it ends in West Virginia. Near a town called Oak Flat."

Angela took the phone.

"Booth, I believe Hodgins is right, I input all the information from the locations of both where the victims lived and where they were found. The common area is in West Virginia. If you stay in that location you should find her."

"Thanks guys, you're the best."

Booth hung up the phone.

He gave the information to the pilot, and they were on the way.

Bones watched the killer as he rolled over and opened his eyes. An intense feeling of dread overwhelmed her as she looked in his eyes. She remembered her emotions training with Sweets. He never covered this facial expression, but she knew it. It was the look of insanity. His eyes had an empty look to them, as if he looked through her instead of at her.

She watched him look at the victim with hunger in his eyes, as if he needed to hurt him. She saw his breathing increase, as he became more excited. She had to act quickly, before he injured the older man.

She thought of how far she and Booth had come in their acting, and realized that this was her swan call. She needed to do this exactly right, or that man was going to die.

.

He heard them before he opened his eyes. He hoped to catch them in some act of trying to escape. It would fuel the anger, which in turn would fuel the fever. She was smart, she barely moved, and kept very quiet, but he was smart too. He would win this hand, because he was always in charge.

Next, he heard the man awaken. He was very loud and tried to escape. He thrashed around and made a lot of noise. He sat up so he could look at them. She looked calm, but he knew she was scared. However, the best part was the look on the man's face; it was a look of total terror. He got up excited and ready to begin.

.

She tried to think of a way to get him to take off the tape. She knew her only defense was a good offense, and she needed to talk to him. She laughed to herself at the Boothy thought; he really was getting to her. She signaled him with her eyes and moved her head to tell him to come closer.

.

He watched her, and realized that she wanted him to come to her. He walked over to stand next to her.

"I can take the tape off your mouth if you promise not to scream. Do you promise?"

She nodded her head.

"Sorry, but this will hurt."

He quickly pulled the tape off her mouth.

"Ow!"

"I told you it would hurt."

"I know. What is your name?"

"You can call me, Lee Riaskrill. I've had many names over the years, but that one is my favorite. I don't use it very often, because I don't want it known to the public."

"Hello, Lee. My name is Doctor Temperance Brennan. Will you untie me?"

"No, I'm sorry I cannot do that. I don't want you to run away."

"Lee, I don't think I can run very far in my condition, do you?"

"Oh, you are tricky. I know you go to Tae Kwon Do once a week, even while you're pregnant. I also know you are trained in three types of martial arts, I am not a fool, Dr. Brennan."

"I didn't think you were. You must be very smart to have fooled so many law enforcement agencies over the years."

She saw the other man out of the corner of her eye, and hoped he would be quiet. If she can keep Lee talking, maybe she could buy them some time.
