"Where's Booth?" Angela asked. She looked at the notepad again. Trees and sky. And pain. She had glossed over that word the first time, but now it appeared bigger than any other on the page.

"He's in my office," Sweets said, pointing over his shoulder in that general direction. "After he stopped feeling like he was going to throw up, he took it over."

Angela met Hodgins eyes and they both nodded. "I'll come with you," he said. Together, they walked off the platform and headed toward Angela's office.

"Where are you going?" Sweets called after them.

Angela turned and looked at him like the child he was always accused of being. "To find Brennan, of course.

"You don't think this could all be a product of Dr. Brennan leaving?"

Angela put her hand on Hodgins arm before walking back toward Sweets. "Sweetie, he wasn't affected like this the last time she left. They were a world apart and not only was Booth fine, he managed to find a girlfriend. She hasn't even been gone a whole week yet and he's having visions. No, something is definitely wrong."

"Her phone is turned off," Booth announced as he walked in. Angela immediately noticed he was limping slightly. "Why did she turn her phone off?"

Angela remembered the word on Sweets notepad and narrowed her eyes at Booth. "Can you still feel her?"

Booth looked confused for a moment before his eyes cleared. "No," he said, slightly embarrassed. "My leg just aches a little still. It's better than it was."

"How do you know her phone is off?" Hodgins asked, coming up behind them.

"Because I just called it about twenty times. It just went to voice mail."
