Thanks for the reviews and the alerts.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooo

Feeling like he could handle the smell again, Booth stood up and walked back to his truck. Looking down the road and seeing the road was temporarily empty, Booth opened the driver's side door and got back into the truck. Smelling the odor assault him again, Booth leaned against his steering wheel and tried to ignore the gagging he felt like doing.

Hodgins, seeing Booth in distress, said, "Booth, do you want me to drive?"

Shaking his head, Booth put his key back into the ignition, started up the truck and reentered the road.

Ooooooooooooooooo

Booth had driven for another thirty minutes before he felt compelled to stop again. Stopping at a truck stop, Booth parked the truck at the edge of the parking lot and exited his truck as fast as he could. Walking around his truck, Booth walked onto the grass next to the parking lot and sat down putting his head down and pulling his knees up. Holding his head against the top of his knees, Booth breathed deep breaths.

Hodgins, watching Booth through the open window of the truck, finally had enough and exited the truck. Walking around the back of the truck, Hodgins stood far enough away from Booth so that Booth had fresh air and yet close enough to talk to him. "You can't keep this up man. You're going to get us killed if you don't stop driving."

Not looking up, Booth said, "Yeah, I know. I thought rotten bodies were bad; but, I really can't take too much more of this."

Nodding his head, Hodgins asked, "Do you want me to drive?"

Looking up, Booth lowered his legs and crossed them. Taking his phone out of his jacket pocket, Booth looked at Hodgins and dialed Brennan's number.

"Brennan."

Relieved, Booth said, "I need you to come get me."

Nodding her head, Brennan said, "I've already called Angela and she and Michael are on the way over here. Once they get here, I'll come and get you. Tell me where you're at."

Looking around, Booth told Brennan the exit number of the highway and the Truck Stop he was waiting at.

Writing down the information, Brennan said, "Did you throw up again?"

Shaking his head, Booth said, "Nah; but, I've got a head ache that may kill me."

Frowning, Brennan said, "Don't say that Booth. Just stay out of the truck and away from Heckle and Jeckle. I'll be there as soon as I can."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "I love you Bones."

Smiling, Brennan said, "I love you too, Booth. Everything will be alright."

Ending his call, Booth looked at Hodgins and said, "Bones is going to come and get me. When she gets here, I'm going to let you drive the SUV back to D.C."

Nodding his head, Hodgins walked back over to the truck and said, "Daisy, Dr. B is on the way to pick up Booth. Once she gets here, I'm going to drive us back in his truck."

Nodding her head, Daisy said, "I'm thirsty. I'm going to go into the truck stop and buy a drink."

Smiling, Hodgins walked back to the grassy area and sat down about six feet from Booth. Booth, not feeling very well, laid down on the grass and closed his eyes.

Oooooooooooooooo

Daisy had been gone for about fifteen minutes when she was back. Marching over to where Booth was lying and Hodgins was sitting, Daisy stopped and said, "They are very rude people. I went to the bathroom and then when I went to buy a coke they told me I had to leave. They said I stink."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "And?"

Frowning, Daisy said, "I'm thirsty. I wanted to buy a coke."

Opening his eyes and sitting up, Booth said, "There's water in the back of the truck. Drink that."

Resigned, Daisy walked over to the back of the truck, popped open the hatch and retrieved the warm water from a sack. Sitting in the back of the truck, Daisy watched the traffic flowing down the highway.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Everything was quiet until a Sheriff's deputy drove up and exited his patrol car. Walking around the SUV, the deputy saw a sick man lying on the grass, a man dressed in clothes to big for him sitting six feet away and a small woman dressed in clothes way too big for her sitting in the back of the SUV. Rubbing his nose, the deputy said, "What have you folks been up to? You stink worse than a hog pen."

Sitting up, Booth said, "We were attacked by a skunk and we lost."

Laughing the deputy said, "Can I see some ID and the registration for this truck?

Frowning, Booth pulled out his FBI wallet and flipped it open. "Is this good enough?"

Bending down and looking at the ID and the badge, the deputy nodded and said, "What's the FBI doing here?"

Staring at the deputy, Booth said, "We're just passing through. We were called over to Bedford County to investigate a possible homicide and we're on the way back home."

Nodding his head, Deputy Franz said, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Booth said, "My wife is on the way over to pick me up. Once she gets here, I'm going home with her and Dr. Hodgins is going to drive my SUV back with Ms. Wick."

Nodding his head, Deputy Franz said, "Where's she driving from?"

Sighing, Booth said, "We live in D.C."

Glancing at Hodgins and then Daisy, Deputy Franz said, "Do you need anything, food or drink? I can go into the truck stop and buy it for you. The manager of the truck stop would rather you didn't go back into the store."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "No thanks. We have water and some granola bars in the back of the truck. We'll probably be leaving in a couple of hours."

Nodding his head, Deputy Franz said, "I'll swing by on my rounds in an hour to check up on you. If you need anything from the store, wait for me to come back."

Smiling, Booth said, "Thanks Deputy. I appreciate it."

Rubbing his nose again, Deputy Franz turned around and walked across the parking lot to the store. He needed to let the manager know who the people were in the SUV and when they planned to leave.

After the deputy walked away, Daisy said, "I would have liked to have had him get me a coke."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "And then you'd need the bathroom again. You just heard the deputy say that the manager doesn't want us to come into his store."

Sighing, Daisy said, "This road trip hasn't been any fun. I think this is the worse field trip I've ever been on."

Frowning, Booth said, "Welcome to my club."

Oooooooooooooooo

What do you think? Is this still interesting?
