I drove Michelle to the hospital, but all I could think about on my way was Christine. Everybody was doing everything they could to find her, but nothing was working.

"you ok kiddo?" I asked Michelle, who looked as pale and was as quiet as a ghost since she had come back and learned that Cam had been shot. I waited for an answer but she just sat there. She just started out the window. Her beautiful brown eyes looked like they had been covered with ice and tears kept falling down her face. I saw bruises up and down her arms, she had been in a rough struggle. "Don't worry Michelle. It'll be okay." I said, as she sat there.

All of the sudden a car came out of no where. it rammed into our side, backed up and rammed into it again, but before it hit, I covered Michelle with my body. We were escorted to the hospital in ambulances. My arms were scared up, and my back hurt, but I was fine. Michelle made it out with a few more bruises and scrapes to add to her collection.

Back to the present day in which Booth is retelling the story

I dropped Christine off for her first day at middle school, and then traveled to drop Rachel at Liberty Elementary. I then drove home and made two sandwiches and laid out some vegetables. Michelle walked into the room. "Hey Michelle. How's your job search going?"

"Not so well, not many jobs to take around here, I'll travel up to Savannah in the morning to see if I can get my dream job there. I just hope I don't have to move."" She said, sitting down in the chair.

"Any law firm in Georgia would be lucky to have you." I said as I dug my teeth into the sandwich I was eating. "Want some tea?" I asked, grabbing a cup and pouring some tea into a cup.

Now a short part of the story in Michelle's eyes.

I remember the last time I saw Cam before I disappeared. We went out for coffee. She bought a raspberry scone and a caramel mocha, while I had an orange scone and a caramel frappe. We talked about movies and books and guys.

I remember us laughing about ICE AGE as we sipped our drinks. I just wish me and Cam could have had a longer moment, before her phone rang and she got called to the case. As I was about to leave, I noticed that my wallet was missing. I went outside to look for it when somebody covered my mouth with their hand and dragged me away.

When he released me and I found out about Cam, it was so scary to think the woman who gave me everything I needed at such a pint in my life could be dead. When Booth drove me to the hospital, I was silent. He said something, but I didn't respond. I was to horrified about everything. Then all of the sudden a car came in out of no where. The men in the ambulance bandaged my arms a bit before they drove me off to the hospital for a little check up to make sure I was fine. All I could think about was Cam. She had been my mom for me. She was everything to me. After a few examinations, and the doctor checked to make sure I was okay, the doctor allowed me to go to the other end of the hall and check on Cam.

I walked into the hospital room in my hospital gown. "Oh my god Michelle, you're okay." She said relived. Her eyes traveled down to my bandage.

"Booth and I got into an accident." I said, looking down at the floor as I said it.

"Oh my god is booth okay? Cam asked.

"Yeah. He's fine... just a little hurt. My Arm's okay, just scraped. But, um... Christine was kidnapped," I said as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.

Cam threw her head on the pillow and tears rolled down her softened cheeks. "No, no" She said, tears now rolling freely down her face. "Did they do any X-rays on your arm?" She asked, trying to steer the conversation back towards me.

It was the only question I had wanted to avoid. I decided to try to avoid the question. "So does it still hurt I said as I looked at her stomach where she had been shot.

"A little." She said looking at me. "Can I see them?" She asked about the X-rays.

"they didn't take any." I said.

"Why not? They should have. Where's a nurse? They should take some." Concern filled her face.

"No, Cam I told them not to. I'm pregnant." I looked back down at the floor. Why did this have to come up today of all days? Hadn't Cam been through enough?
