Booth watched as a woman with short brown hair, opened a back door and let a dog run out of the house. For some reason she knew this had to be her. But his Bones wouldn't get a dog, though she did consider it during their one case.

He watched as the woman called "Bella" and the dog came running into the house. He heard her voice; it was the same voice he heard for those five years together. He watched as she turn into the house and turn off the backlights, and all the other lights of the first floor. He watches as a room, upstairs lights up; then turns off five minutes later. Then the room right next to it turns on. For what had seem for like hours but maybe 30 minutes the most the room goes black.

He decides at that moment, he should get some rest has well. Intending, the next day to confront the partner he known to be.


Booth remembers the day all too well. Bones and him weren't spending too much time together; due to the fact the he was trying to move on with Hannah. The only time they would spend time with each other is during the case they were walking on. He walked into her office like any normal case:

"Bones, case, Chop, Chop!" But the room was empty. He decided to check Limbo. If she wasn't in her office she most likely was in Limbo; studying the humans of the past. He hoped that she wasn't here all night. He needed her focus on the bones they have now. The last time she was so tired she was nearly falling asleep on the ride there. He learned then motion makes her more tired.

She wasn't in Limbo; he decided to check in Angela office. She would know where she is. He was dreading it since He wasn't around much he was ignoring Angela's calls. Knowing all too well what she wanted. As soon as he walked into the office he knew something was up. All of them were in her office: Cam, Hodgins. There wasn't a case so what was being discussed.

"Well hello, Special Agent Asshole, so clad you can take time in coming down to this lovely building we call the Jeffersonian." Angela said out. He knew he was going to dread this.

"Where's Bones, we have a case?" asked Booth. Cam gave him a apologetic look. Hodgins looked to his wife, while Angela just glared at him.

"Well, Mr. I'm too good for anyone to answer calls, but Hannah, you would know that Bren is missing." Angela spat at him. Booth felt the blood drain from his head. Those were the calls that they were trying to give.

"When?" was the only thing that he could get out. He was trying to remember the last time He had seen Bones. It was the Dr. Lauren case. Oh God, the night she confessed her feeling for him. He shot her down. That had been the worst night of his life, when he returned to his apartment. He found Hannah in bed with her boss. After he kicked them out he wished that he would have called Bones. She would have come over. Now he wishes more than more ever that he called her.

"Honestly, know can pin point. We assume the day when the Lauren case was solved. You must have been the last one to seen her since she didn't tell us How Lauren died. And it was in your report and all." Hodgins said. "That must have been the night she disappeared?"

Booth sled to the floor, "I shouldn't have left her alone" he said mid fall.

"Seeley, what happen that night? Did you guys have a fight or something?" Cam said, as she walked over to him.

"I had a feeling something was wrong I needed to see her. I went to her apartment, she wasn't there. I then came here. I saw her get into a cab. I followed the cab thinking it was going home. I still needed to talk to her. I followed her into woodland where the victim died. I saw her bend down to look at something. Then she almost got herself hit by a car." He paused for a minute when he heard Angela gasp for air. "I pulled her out of the way, that's when she told me how the victim died, and that the driver buried her in the tree. She told me that she wanted to give us a chance, that she missed her chance. I told her that woman was no consolation prize. I asked if she wanted me to call someone, she said no she was ok. I dropped her off here afterwards."

It took what seem like an hour, but was probably a second for someone to speak. "Do you think she would have done something stupid?" Hodgins spoke up knowing he would get a glare from the room. Which, he did especially by Booth and his wife.

Angela spoke up next, "No, Bren is the most smart and rational human being I know, heck probably we all know. She wouldn't try suicide, but what she would do is run. She would run like there is no tomorrow. We need to find her. I need my best friend back.

That was all most two years ago. Just about everyone have given up on finding her. Well besides Angela and him. Though, Angela was busy with, little Jessica Temperance Montenegro-Hodgins. Now she was busy with baby two on the way, a boy who they plan naming Brendon Jack Montenegro-Hodgins.


Booth had found her when he and Parker were shopping for something which he can't remember now. They had walked pass an isle of books for sail. "Hey it's Dr. Bones, but that not her name. Who is Katie LaManche?" Parker asked as he tried to sound out the name in French.

Booth had picked the book out of Parkers hands and there it was Déjà Dead by Katie LaManche; with Bones's picture on the back.

Booth looked at his boy and said, "I don't know Bub, but I'm going to find out."
