(The Pathos in the Pathogens)

Thank you for reviewing my story. I appreciate it.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooo

"That was so hot what you did to Dr. Thorne, Bones . . . so . . . damn . . . hot." He kissed her in the living room. His hands traveled down and rested on her hips.

Amused, Brennan reminded him of the facts. "There was no virus in the needle, Booth. I couldn't have killed him if I had wanted to and I didn't want to. I just wanted him to tell us where the antiserum was since you couldn't force the information from him."

His forehead resting against her forehead, Booth smiled. "Oh I know, but that ass didn't know that and that's what was so hot about it. You bluffed him. You jabbed a needle in the guy's neck and you dared him to not take you seriously. I definitely wouldn't want to play poker with you."

Her hands placed on his sides, Brennan kissed him and paused to think about what he had said. "Well, since you are in Gamblers Anonymous it would be very unwise of you to gamble, but if you did I would be a worthy opponent I can assure you."

"Oh I know, believe me I know." Booth felt so lucky to know and be with the woman of his dreams and he was constantly amazed at how brave she was. "You saved Arastoo's life. I couldn't get that guy to talk and believe me I tried. I couldn't beat it out of him even though I wanted to."

Kissing him once more, Brennan stepped away from Booth and removed her jacket. "I know, that is why I did what I did. You were trying to save Arastoo and short of breaking the law there was nothing you could do to make Thorne give us the location of the antiserum. I on the other hand had no constraints against my actions."

As he loosened his tie, Booth watched Brennan remove her shoes and walk over to the staircase. "You may have to talk to Cullen, Bones. You did assault Thorne and the FBI gets a little anxious when that kind of thing happens."

Not really concerned, Brennan paused at the staircase. "He told us the location of the antiserum and I saved a man's life. I think the FBI will find a way to overlook what I did. I don't believe it will come up at his trial either. Think of the repercussions. His lawyer can hardly stand before a jury and tell them that their client had developed a deadly virus which had killed one person and had imperiled another then refused to save the man when he had an antiserum available. He's already in trouble for murder. The thought of a viral infection loosed among the populace and Thorne standing by and letting it happen would certainly usher him into the electric chair that much quicker."

Her reasoning sound as always, Booth flipped his jacket over his shoulder and followed Brennan upstairs. "I love that brain of yours Bones. Just love it."

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Let me know what you think of my story. Thank you.
