Here we go again with another chapter.
There it was, just like in her dream, Booth kneeled on the ground, hands folded together as if praying again to a unseen saint. This time she couldn't hear him, What was wrong?, why was Booth praying there seemed to be no hostile situation going on inside the building. Inside booth was wracked with worry over the health of his partner as all thoughts of his own safety lay forgotten by his feet.
Booth had been pacing around the platform for seconds, minutes, hours? He did not know. Here he was trapped in the lab whilst an unidentified dangerous bacteria was spreading through the lab. Many squints had already inhaled some of the spores and the symptoms it caused were drastic, if help didn't arrives soon, if they were unable to be decontaminated death was likely for anyone who inhaled the spores. Booth wondered if his time was going to be up soon. spread through the lab. They could only hope that they came out of here alive.
Booth desperately wanted to talk to Brennan but he knew there was no way he could with the lab locked tight to protect outsiders. He didn't want to leave this world, without her knowing all the emotions and feelings he had stored for the last three years, feelings he kept hidden for fear of messing up the deep friendship he had if he told her too soon, problem now was he'd left it too late, life was ironic that way.. Suddenly he was hit with inspiration, he wasn't a creative guy so this gesture would hopefully surprise and impress her, he jogged to her office looking for the yellow post it notes he knew she had stashed in her desk and began to write as many of the things that made him lover her on each note, he was going to need a hell of a lot of notes. He strategically placed the notes in all the areas of the lab he knew she would go . If he was to leave her, he wanted her to know it was unwillingly and assure her that he loved her deeply.
Temperance stopped outside the entrance of the Jeffersonian and looked through the glass doors that separated her from Booth, after watching him get up from his knees a puzzled look crossed her face, what was he doing with her post it notes? Booth looked up suddenly as if sensing her presence, he purposefully strode toward the glass doors, post it note in hand. As intense blue eyes me chocolate brown he placed the not to the glass. When she looked to read the note, the handwriting of a man she knew so very well stared back at her It said: "Remember our second kiss, I cannot think of anything else anymore. Just know that if we are never going to be together again, that I love you with whole my heart and I never were going to leave you voluntary. My heart belongs to you Temperance"
As she read his heartfelt words, she began to hit the glass with her fists as hard as she could. She knew the wall was soundproof but maybe if she would hit as hard as she could.
Booth met her gaze, swallowing he fell to his knees right in front of the glass, Tears welled up in his eyes, he knew everything would be all right, it just had to be.
On the other side of the wall Brennan also fell on her knees, trying to calm him, but how? Placing one hand on the glass she looked at him, and when he returned the comforting look with his own, they both new that everything would be alright.
Angela came running to the glass when she had noticed that Booth was communicating with someone. She squealed when she saw Brennan sitting on the other side of the glass. "Ooh my God Brennan we missed you, can you get us out of here?" she asked thinking Brennan could hear her. When there wasn't a reply from the other side, she remembered that Brennan could hear them talking but they weren't able to hear her. There was a head set in the lab and Angela knew where. Coming back with the set she passed it to Booth telling him that he needed it to talk to Brennan before it was her time.
Booth looked awkwardly to Angela and then to Bones. He knew this was going to be hard, and he also knew that it would be easier if they could touch or speak freely without the whole squint squad hearing what he had to say to her. It was his task to start talking to her, to tell her what he had been feeling the last hours, about what happened and of course what was going to happen in the future.
Simple he started with: "Hi Bones."
She looked him in the eye saying: "Hey Booth, how are you holding up?"
"Well I managed as you can see; I have a little present for you." Smiling at her he tried to comfort her.
"You can't call that little, Booth. I already had a peek of it reading the message on the glass here."
"Can I just speak before you say anything?"
"Go ahead," he said, waiting for her to continue.
"Booth, this morning when I woke up, or better said when I got up, I still had yesterday on my mind. I had a migraine and I guess I was just using it as an excuse to avoid you because I was scared. You know I need time to deal with my feelings. To be honest I still haven't figured it all out. But there are certain things that I do know. When you get out of her, which you will, you have to, then we will sort things out together, maybe at my place? , after I look at what you did to my lab." She said with a mischievous smile.
"Bones...Temperance you know I will give you all the time you need. Of course I would be honoured to come to your place when I get out , about the notes, well yeah that is just my hidden desperate romantic side." Then he gave her his absolute most fabulous charm smile. The both of them just began to laugh hard.
Once again there was Angela.
"Come on sweetie, how are you going to get us out of here?" she asked, not wanted to wait another minute for those two people to come closer.
"I know a way out if you are certain it's safe to come out." Then she looked doubted at Booth.
"Look, Jack just told me they have the vaccines their on their way now with them, so yeah come on with their way"
"Bones when we get out of here I will leave you alone for the rest of the day to look at everything in the lab."
"Thanks Booth, but I think I would rather give you a hug."
Several hours later, hours that felt like years, Booth was given the vaccine and given the go ahead to leave the lab.
"Bones I will at your place for 8? Is that okay?"
"Yeah Booth, it will be fine with me, more than fine."
And with that said, he walked out and she walked in the lab going to read all the pieces of paper he left there for her.
