So this is really short but it's a good break before the next chapter.
7.
Booth was near the top as the rumble of small explosions began under Brennan's feet.
"Get out of here Bones!" Booth shouted near the top. Brennan was clearly not leaving without Booth.
As he pulled himself out of the shaft she was busy unbuckling him. Once free they ran for the plank thru the heavy rain.
Nearly across to the other side Brennan slipped on the now wet surface and slid to the edge. She quickly swung her legs around to be back on the plank to see Booth heading across but the last remains of the building and shaft were exploding. Brennan turned to run just as Booth caught up to her. The plank was collapsing underfoot as they both jumped for the edge of the roof.
Brennan's hand slipped as Booth caught her back forcing her forward. Hodgins and Cam pulled her the rest of the way up. Booth's hand slipped as the three grabbed him and slowly pulled him on the neighboring roof top. They glanced back at the now completely decimated mall.
Breathing heavily Booth looked around. "Where's Sweets?" He asked.
The four of them looked around to see the two stunned agents who had carried Sweets away were standing in awe of the explosion and race from it, with crumbled body bag next to them.
The quartet scrambled to the men.
"That was incredible." The two said in awe as the group approached. "Whoa? What? The body's…"
"Still alive dumbass." Booth said angry as the struggled to unzip the bag, his adrenaline still pulsating.
As soon as Booth unzipped it he saw Sweets, unmoving and staring as the side of the bag. He was clearly out of it as Booth tried to get his attention.
"Sweets, hey. Sorry about the bag buddy." Booth said trying to bring Sweets back to earth but wasn't having much success. "Hey Sweets, we didn't want to, we had to get you out of there, and this was the only way."
Booth looked at Sweets sad expression and realized it wasn't just a despondent look, it was a pale and ailing look.
"Sweets?" Booth asked as Sweets closed his eyes. "Sweets!"
Booth heard Hodgins call for the ambulance but he too suddenly felt a bit tired.
