When Brennan leaves to escape Hannah and Booth, she makes a decision that puts her life in danger.

"I'm going," Booth announced. "I have to run to my office for different clothes and I'm leaving. Text me the address, please Ang."

Hodgins looked at his wife and she nodded in agreement. "Not alone, you're not," Hodgins argued.

"I don't have time to wait," Booth said.

"Booth, you said yourself she's hurt. If she really fell off the side of that mountain, you're going to need climbing gear and help to get her back to the car. You go get the clothes. I'll get the gear."

Hodgins didn't wait for an answer. He gave Angela a hug and kiss, quietly promising her he'd bring her best friend home.

"You'll be out of range of cell phones when you find her," Cam reminded him. "I'll go get the first aid kit we keep in the office. I"ll give it to Hodgins as he leaves."

As Booth watched his friends walk away, he was struck by the family Bones had built around her. She's always felt like she was alone in the world, but right here were the people that loved her the most. The people who stayed up all night trying to find her when no one else would. The family who believed in visions from an ex-sniper who'd messed up a lot of things lately.

Shaking his head at the amazing way things worked out, Booth headed to get what he needed to save Bones. And himself, because if she didn't survive, neither would he.
