Okay...not by Christmas, but I swear on Booth's body it will be done by Saturday.

That's a pretty serious swear, my friend. XD Don't feel too pressured, though. Enjoy your holiday.

it's okay fly.....no need to endanger Booth's body now....we believe you....

*a2b backs in truckload of year old tuna casserole left over from former mobbings*...do you really want me to dump this next to your house?????? really.....do you?????????? okay then.......if you arent going to write the next chapter.......thats what i will have to do............*a2b starts to pull lever to dump*

OMG not the tuna casserole! Noooooooooo!!! I can't watch! *covers eyes*

All of the cats in a 100 mile radius will be unable to resist the smell! They'll all migrate onto your property...XD I'm a cat person, but seriously, Fly, this looks bad.

Wow. Newly addicted...post sooooooon ...please

Yep, the mob's here. Just as Kas said.
And sorry, but Booth won't be threatening any of us, because he's in our side. You swore over his body, after all!!!!

And you should really, really stop saying your writing's not good. Because if you're being honest, you're very much wrong. And if it's just a tactic so one will start reading thinking it won't be good to then be surprised, it'd be mean.
And you're not mean, right, fly?
I do belive you're not mean **says in my most soft-and-scary voice.**. And that's why you'r going to post tonight that chap you've said is almost ready, right?

Okay, for better or worse, here is the next chapter. I’m not exactly sure how I feel about it…and I know it’s really short, but it’s where my muse insisted I stop.

Thanks to fluff for the help with the quote, and thanks to all who are reading and reviewing. And I know I promised this on Saturday, but technically, it’s still Saturday in California…

The squints sat in the diner just down the street from the federal building, not saying much. Hodgins had insisted that they order food, but none of them had eaten much. The hours dragged on, and still no word about Booth or Brennan.

“I can’t just sit around here and do nothing.” Angela’s voice broke the silence. She stood and looked down at the others. “We have to do something.”

“Angela, there’s nothing we can do.”

“But…it can’t be. Brennan has to be okay, she just has to be…” The tears that she had held at bay all afternoon finally started to fall.

Hodgins stood and pulled her into his arms. “Shh, it’s gonna be okay…”

Sweets, for once, had had nothing to offer, and had been abnormally quiet throughout the day. Cam had been hoping for some reassuring words from him, but so far, they hadn’t been forthcoming. She watched for a moment as Hodgins comforted Angela, then once again pulled out her cell phone. Opening it, she pressed the speed dial, praying that this time, he’d answer…

Another hour had passed with Booth talking about anything and everything, trying to keep Brennan’s mind off their situation. So far, he had been through his childhood, his war years, Parker... He was careful to only mention the good moments; they had enough of their own despair right here, he didn’t need to add to it.

It had gradually gotten darker until he couldn’t even see her lying on the ground beside him. He could still occasionally hear shouts and noises, and he knew they were looking for survivors, which gave him hope, though he knew if they didn’t find them soon, Brennan may not make it… No. He shook away the thoughts. He wasn’t going to lose her.

“Booth?”

Her weak voice pulled him out of his musings, and he turned to her. “Sorry Bones.” He managed a smile, though she couldn’t see it. “My mind wandered there for a bit.”

“I’m so tired,” she whispered.

Panic flared up in him at her words. “Come on, Temperance.” He squeezed her hand. “Just stay with me a little while longer.”

“I can’t…”

“Damn it, Temperance, you can’t give up on me! I won’t let you.” She didn’t respond, and he went on. “You and Parker are the only things in this world that matter to me, and I’m not letting you go. You made it out alive when the gravedigger trapped you and Hodgins, and you’re going to make it out of here.”

“That was…different. I…”

“It’s no different. You were trapped, and you fought your way out, and it’s the same thing now.” His voice turned pleading. “I need you, Temperance. We’re a team, remember? You give the victims a face, a voice, and I arrest the bad guys. I can’t do it without you.”

“Yes you can.”

“What, with all those ridiculous interns?” Booth scoffed. “No way. All of them together wouldn’t equal you.”

“Booth? I’m afraid…”

“You have to fight, Temperance. You have to live.”

“Why?”

“Because, I can’t live without you.” The stark admission seemed to echo in the cramped space. He paused for a few seconds, then took a deep breath. He’d gone this far, he might as well go all the way. “Every morning I wake up, and I can’t wait to see you, and you’re the last person I want to talk to at night. You and me, we’re more than partners; more than friends. I love you, Temperance, and you are not going to die on me. I won’t let you.”

Booth felt a slight pressure on his hand, but she didn’t respond. “Temperance?” His heart seemed to stop in his chest when she still didn’t answer. Alarmed, he raised his hand to her throat, even as he peered through the darkness to see her face. “Temperance?!” Near panic now, he was just about to reach for her when two things happened simultaneously. His cell phone rang, and he heard voices calling to him in the darkness.

And loe, I didn't say that my writing's not good, I just don't really care for this particular fic. I think some of my other ones are much better. But I will try to stop being so negative, okay? lol

nooooooooo! don't stop thereee! you cant! its soo cruel!

You better do.
I remember you saying bad things about your own writing I'd look it up and quote, but it'd take too much time, lol.
I'll rest fine if you just accept you're good

And geez, this was a good shortie! I hope she heard him...
Good thing they're getting to them.

Feeling inspired again?
