Brennan at sat her desk, watching Booth frown in front of her, a red white and blue, presidential envelope in his hand, she saw it pains him, and it had to do with the army, she leaned on her desk and watched her devilishly handsome partner, her eye brow raised "I care for him, I just don't have those feelings, but I do" she smiled to herself.
Brennan looked over at Booth again "Booth, do you want me to open it" she looked at the envelope in his grips, the black letters of Soldier call out stared back at her, she felt suddenly weak and her face turned a light pale "Booth" was the only thing she could say.

He looked grimly at her, then opened it, already knowing what it would say. He read it over, and his eyes widened. He looked slowly at Bones. His mouth went dry. "They, they want me to go back." He said. "And..." He looked at her, fearing for her. "They want me to take you with me."
They said they wanted to so that she could identify any bodies of soldiers that came up. He knew it was animportant job. The bodies of soldiers were constantely being found too charred or mutilated for identification in any normal means. But still, to put her at risk...

Brennan looked at Booth and swallowed "Are.. you going to be okay?" she frowned watching him and his reaction "Hey, if I have to go, I have to go, I can handle myself" she looked upward "I'll give this a go", she folded her arms and relaxed back the chair looking at the ceiling "I'm sure god will watch over me" she said trying to comfort her own thoughts and her partners.
She stood up and sat on the desk "We 'do' have to go don't we?" she asked nervously wishing it was a normal Army envelope and letter not a presidential one.

"Are.. you going to be okay?" she frowned watching him and his reaction "Yeah Bones, Im gonna be fine. I'm just worried about you."
"Hey, if I have to go, I have to go, I can handle myself" she looked upward "I'll give this a go", she folded her arms and relaxed back the chair looking at the ceiling "I'm sure god will watch over me"
He tried to smile and failed.
She stood up and sat on the desk "We 'do' have to go don't we?" she asked nervously.
He nodded. "Yeah, we really have no choice, or else I just wouldn't let you go." He said, looking at her, but not at her. He was really looking back in time. "You don't know what it's like, and I wish you didn't have to. To...to make friends and then watch them be, be blown to bits, to have to take out people and watch their family's react. See a... a kid on his birthday watch his father die right at the table." His voice trailed off, and he had tears at the corner of his eyes.
He looked at her. 'I'm sorry they dragged you into this. We have to leave tomorrow. Get some rest, you'll need it." He sighed. "It's gonna be a long day."
Even though he'd told his partner to get some rest, he knew there'd be no sleep for him. Nightmares would plague the little sleep he did find. He just wished that his partner wouldn't have to witness this.

Temperance looked at Booth, with share heart feeling, tears streamed down her face, and her shoulders shook "Booth, Stop please, I have seen, Kids piled upon their parents being burnt, men having their skulls hacked open, with knifes in the middle east, But bringing guns and Bombs... into it, it makes it more real" she sniffed and slid off the desk and knelled on the ground in front of him "I want, you to look after me, alright, in return I'll look after you" she rested her hand on his leg.
'I'm sorry they dragged you into this. We have to leave tomorrow. Get some rest, you'll need it." He sighed. "It's gonna be a long day."
"Don't be sorry, its my fault for taking up this profession, I will rest, but if you can't sleep, or anything is wrong, Ring me, Booth" she said sternly "I need my guy sharp" she smiled weakly and stood up.

He smiled weakly. He'd nearly forgotten all she'd gone through, how hard it had to be.
'I'm sorry they dragged you into this. We have to leave tomorrow. Get some rest, you'll need it." He sighed. "It's gonna be a long day."
"Don't be sorry, its my fault for taking up this profession, I will rest, but if you can't sleep, or anything is wrong, Ring me, Booth" she said sternly "I need my guy sharp" she smiled weakly and stood up.
He smiled at her. "I will." He said, though he had no intention of doing that. It was all great and fine that he wasn't getting any sleep, but he wouldn't deprive her of sleep with his problems too.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He said, and stood up. "Be ready at around 5 am. I'll pick you up and take you for breakfast before we go."
He walked to the SUV. She'd taken her sports car, so she wouldn't need a ride. He almost wished that she would need a ride, if only so he could see her a bit.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said, and stood up. "Be ready at around 5 am. I'll pick you up and take you for breakfast before we go."
"Thanks, Booth" she said kind heartedly "I want to be there for... you" she tried to say without sounding cheap. She pulled her keys out "I need to get Fuel Before I go, So I will meet you in the morning" she graped her coat off her chair and tangled her keys "Stay safe alright!" she said walking out the door hesitating to watch her partner think, she snuck out.
She pulled out and caught a glimpse of Booth getting into his SUV "Be careful" she whispered then drove off, she pulled into her apartment got out and backed light gear tramping boots and all the necessary equipment. Afterwords she fell back on her bed and closed her eyes, memories flooding back, she rolled on her side and played with the pillow. After awhile she drifted off to sleep.

"Thanks, Booth" she said kind heartedly "I want to be there for... you."
He smiled at her. He was touched she cared about him.
When he arrived home, he took a cold shower, thinking about the 49 lives he took, about how many more he'd have to take.
He could remember the name of every single man he'd killed, remember how they'd died, their faces, their families.
He laid down and tried to go to sleep, but he couldn't. His partner's words came back into his head. "If you can't sleep, or anything is wrong, Ring me, Booth."
He'd had his hand on the phone when he stopped himself. He wasn't going to wake her up just because he couldn't get to sleep. He laid on the bed for awhile, wondering if maybe Bones would call him, just to see if he was alright. Then he shook his head. Why should she be worried?
She was probably saying goodbye to everyone. To Angela, Zack and Hodgins, to whoever she was dating right now. Was she even dating? Booth couldn't remember, and he realized he didn't really care about it, all he cared about was her.

Brennan turned over wide awake and picked up the phone, she toyed with it in her hand for a moment, then dialed Booths number "Hello, Booth, yeah its me Brennan, um did you check the weather, at the airport" she said nervously a sly grin on her face.

"Hello, Booth, yeah its me Brennan, um did you check the weather, at the airport" she asked.
Booth's brows furrowed. "Umm, yeah. It's supposed to be cloudy, around 66 degrees all day." He said slowly, as though unsure she had really called at ten at night to ask if he's checked the weather. "Hey Bones, is there another reason you called, or did you simply call at 10pm to ask about the weather?" He asked, still a little confused. "It's not that I don't like that you called, just..." His voice trailed off.

Bones on the other end grinned with delight at his Voice "I um called to um check the weather.. and well, talk to you..." she sighed "I can't sleep" she said quickly. Her hand brushed through her hair and she waited for a response, her nerves finally calmed down after he spoke to her.

"I um called to um check the weather.. and well, talk to you..." she sighed "I can't sleep" she said quickly.
He smiled. At least he wasn't the only one. "Yeah, I can't either." He admitted. He sighed. He wished he could see her right now. Maybe he could invite her over. Of course Seeley, ask her if she wants to come over at 10 at night for no real reason! He scolded himself.
"So..." He began. "You hungry? I could get Wong Foos." He grinned, remembering the countless times they'd had Wong Foos at midnight.

Temperance looked at her stomach it started to grumble as if to say -let-him-over- she smiled and willingly accepted "Yeah, if you want to, I guess, sure" she said smiling from ear to ear "So I'll see you soon" she said not wanting to hang up "The quicker you hang up the quicker he will be here" then she went stern "then Tomorrow we have to.." she said aloud.

"Yeah, if you want to, I guess, sure. So I'll see you soon." she said not wanting to hang up "then Tomorrow we have to.." she said aloud.
He winced. He'd rather not think about that. "Yeah." He said. "Okay, well, I pick up some thai food and be over there.
15 minutes tops." He promised.
They hung up and he pulled on a pair of jeans and pulled a faded FBI tee over his tank top. It was, at one point, black, but had been faded to a dark gray over time. You couldn't make out the words on the front from it being so faded. He also threw on some sock with reindeers and his belt which read "cocky."
He stopped by Sid's, grabbed their regular orders, and headed to her apartment. Running up the steps, he knocked on apartment 2B.

"Yeah." He said. "Okay, well, I pick up some Thai food and be over there.15 minutes tops."
"Okay, see you soon" she put the phone down and slid out of bed, she threw a dressing gown on and tied back her hair, she pulled on some lose jeans and decided to just wear her singlet, she walked out and sat down on the couch, eagerly waiting for her guy "MY GUY!!!, since when".
Running up the steps, he knocked on apartment 2B.
Automatically Brennan jumped from the couch and answered the door, she smiled at Booth "Hey" she said quietly and helped take the Thai food to the coffee table.
