Guatemala
Brennan was on the phone with the state department when Booth entered her office. As he parked himself on her диван, мягкий уголок she was finishing her conversation. “I understand the importance of this trip for the senators and congressman but I do have other important projects that I need to take care of. Yes I realize that it would be helpful to explain what is going on about the genocide and the mercenaries who are terrorizing the countryside. I will get back to Ты because I need to check my calendar regarding these dates.”
“Bones what was that about?”
“The state department wants me to accompany some senators and representatives and their families as they do a fact finding trip to Guatemala about the Последнее problems with mercenaries.”
“Why do they want Ты to go?”
“I believe it is because I have had to identify some of the Последнее victims.”
“You know Кости it may be because Ты are a famous Автор and they want their names in the paper. I don’t like the idea of Ты going down there it could be dangerous.”
“Booth I am capable of taking care of myself, besides there may be a chance that this could help in getting some action about these mercenaries.”
Booth looked at her with concern in his eyes but he сказал(-а) nothing еще about it because he knows if he insisted she not go, she would make a point of going. He would have to wait and see if there may be a chance where he can change her mind about going. Meanwhile they have a case they needed to work on.
The Далее week was very busy with doing the tests on the few body parts that they recovered to discover the identity of the victim. Once they got the identity it was a matter of a little research to discover the killer and another case was quickly solved. They were celebrating the solving of the case when Brennan mentioned. “I’ve decided to go with the congressmen to Guatemala. I should only be gone for a few days.”
“Bones are Ты sure that Ты need to go?”
“Yes. I can help them see what these men do.”
“Bones I don’t want Ты to go.”
“Why?”
Booth looked at her and was thinking. I want to tell Ты how dangerous it is and that if anything should happen to Ты I would lose the person I Любовь the most in this world. But all he could say out loud was. “What if I need you?”
“Booth I will only be gone for four days.”
“Well that’s four days to many.”
Brennan just looked at him for a moment and finally said. “I will miss Ты too.”
When Brennan left for Guatemala Booth made some calls to an old army buddy who was still working down there to check on the situation. His friend told him that it appears that a General Батиста is behind the guerillas and he is the one to watch. He also told Booth that he would keep an eye on Кости for him and let him know if there are any problems.
The congressional party arrived in the capital of Guatemala and settled into their hotel rooms. Brennan made a call to Booth and left him a message letting him know where she was and when she would be coming home. Later that evening the party was introduced to General Батиста who would be escorting them on their trip to the site of the guerilla activity the Далее morning.
As the party was loaded into the truck, Brennan noticed that there were a number of soldiers going with them. She thought that at least she would be protected and Booth was silly to worry about her. But she did like the idea he was worried it made her feel good that he cared.
After they got to the location and were looking over the site, Brennan was Показ the members how the guerillas would kill their victims and mutilate the bodies. As the group was walking around, Brennan noticed that all of the soldiers who were supposed to be there had disappeared and they were now surrounded by armed men who were not wearing any kind of uniform. As they were gathered in the middle of the town under gun point, the apparent leader by the name of Carlos Ramirez сказал(-а) that they were all his prisoners and if they tried to escape he would shot them. Brennan was quiet and was just listening she did not want them to know she could understand what they were saying in Spanish. She learned that they planned on holding the group for ransom and until they got their money no harm would come to them
Meanwhile back in DC the State Dept. received a message that сказал(-а) that the congressional party had been captured by the guerillas and for their безопасно, сейф release they wanted $20 million dollars.
Word quickly reached the Jeffersonian about Dr. Brennan and the other members of the party. Booth also learned of the capture and he headed for the State Departments office. He was met by a baby faced staff member who he had talked with before on another case. The staff member сказал(-а) that they would be handling the situation and he should not interfere.
Booth had a look of quiet murderous rage on his face and poked the staffer in the chest as he said. “If any harm comes to my partner I will be coming to interfere with you.” He then returned to his office and called his friend in Guatemala about what has happened.
His friend сказал(-а) that the kidnapping was set up by General Батиста in order for him to get funds for his revolution. He also told Booth that if he would come down, he would help with supplies and some man power to help rescue the group.
With that Booth said. “I’ll be on the Далее flight.”
Booth checked with his old army buddy as soon as he landed. His buddy said. “The men who took the hostages are part of General Batista’s private army and they have a strong hold in the hills about eighty miles from here. I have some men who will help Ты and any kind of weapon Ты need. Ты do understand that this group has kidnapped before and after the ransom was paid they killed the hostages.”
“Just get me close to their strong hold and let me take care of them.” Booth responded.
Back at the camp Кости had counted that there were over twenty-five men in the camp with others guarding the perimeter so she knew that there would be little chance to escape. She could only hope that General Батиста would come to their aide. The Далее few days were stressful for the group waiting to see what was going to happen. On the fifth день of their captivity, Кости noticed that there was a change in the camp. It seemed that there were fewer men in the camp and she overheard some say that the night guards did not return from patrol and no one has seen them. For the Далее two days she noticed that as the men went on patrol fewer came back and now there was only about fifteen men in the camp. She also noticed that the leader had made a call to someone about getting еще men. They were also starting to go out in pairs but only one would come back if any. Finally on the twelfth день there were only eight men left and no one was talking. They were all on edge it seems and looking over their shoulders.
In the same timeframe, Booth had reached the outer perimeter of the guarded camp and had set up his plan of action. As the patrols came out he and the other men would ambush them and silence them for good. He quietly silenced them as he had been taught in the Rangers. The men who were sent to help him quickly got rid of the bodies so no one would find them. He has seen the camp and noticed the hostages and that Кости was there He planned on how best to rescue them but he needed to reduce the number even еще so he set up his sniper винтовка and started to eliminate the rest.
One of the senators noticed it first. He was just being handed a cup of water when the guard fell over dead from a bullet hole in his head. Everyone quickly grabbed their weapons and looked around trying to determine where the shot had come from but the sounds of the jungle were the only noise they heard. After a few hours they relaxed and sat around the огонь with their weapons handy when another man slumped over dead with another bullet hole in his heart. There was no sleep for anyone in the camp that night. The Далее morning one could hear Carlos Ramirez making a call about what has happened and that he needed еще men as there were now only six men let, when the shots rang out and two еще men were dead. The remaining men looked at each other and took one of the hostages as a shield to protect them. Carlos had picked out Кости and was standing behind her when Booth emerged from the jungle. He was in camouflage and he was in military garb along with the other men who were with him. The other men had their weapons pointed at each of the guerillas, while Booth faced Carlos.
Carlos threatened. “Put your weapons down или we will kill the hostages.”
One of the Senators said. “Do as he says.”
Another hostage being held said. “Please I don’t want to die.”
Кости was just looking at the man who had emerged from the jungle and she suddenly realized that it was Booth. He has come to save her and now she knew she was safe.
Booth responded. “I’ll put my weapon down and Ты let her go.” As he сказал(-а) this he was putting his винтовка slowly to the ground. Carlos had no intention of letting Кости go but he did Переместить a little to get aim on Booth with his gun but before he could огонь a нож came and struck him squarely in his throat. What he didn’t see was Booth using his other hand to reach for his нож because he knew the минута he dropped his weapon, Carlos would have shot him and probably Bones.
Booth reached Кости with one giant leap before the dead Carlos pulled her to the ground. He wrapped his arms around her and she buried her face into his chest for support. Neither of them spoke, just the knowledge that they were in each others arms spoke volumes.
As Кости started to say something, Booth quietly whispered in her ear. “Bones, I’m not here. No one can know that I came. We’ll talk when we are both back in DC.”
Кости looked into Booth’s eyes and сказал(-а) nothing, but he could see she understood.
As for the other guerillas they had dropped their weapons and surrendered.
The men, who helped Booth, took the group back to the capital and the US Embassy for safety. Booth headed for the airport to fly back Главная before Bones. At the Embassy there was a lot of concern as to what had happened and each person related the story of the man that came out of nowhere and saved them all but none of them knew his name only that he sounded like an American. Only Кости knew the truth and she was not saying anything. The very Далее день the entire group was flown Главная with an American military escort for safety.
At the airport there was a passel of reporters but Brennan knew that she would not have to say anything because all of the politicians would be trying to get the spotlight. She was looking for Booth and at first did not see him, but out of the corner of her eye she spotted him waiting for her down the concourse. It took great effort on her part not to run into his arms which would have attracted the attention of the news media. She slowly walked over to him with tears in her eyes.
“Booth, what Ты did……..”
“Bones, let’s not talk about it right now. I promised I would always be there for you.”
“Booth, please take me home.”
As they entered Brennan’s apartment, she turned to Booth. “Please stay with me here. I just want to feel безопасно, сейф and secure.”
“I’ll stay as long as Ты want Bones.”
Brennan then went to the bedroom and changed her clothes while Booth got a couple of beers out of the refrigerator and sat on the couch.
As she came back into the room she could see Booth relaxing on the диван, мягкий уголок and the пиво waiting for her. She sat down on the couch, drank a sip of beer, and then curled herself up in his arms. She looked into his face and whispered. “Booth, those men would have killed all of us, had Ты not saved us. I know what it cost Ты and I don’t know what to say.”
“Then say nothing еще about it. But Далее time when I ask Ты not to go Ты promise to stay home.”
“Yes Booth I promise.” Saying this she cozies up closer. “Booth I just want to let Ты know that while I was being held prisoner, I had time to think about my life and what it has been like since I meet you. I have come to the realization that I cannot do everything by myself and that I now know what the meaning is to Любовь someone.”
“What are Ты trying to say, Bones?”
Brennan sat up and looked Booth in the face. “I’m saying this all wrong.”
“Just say it Bones.”
“I didn’t realize it until I thought I would never see Ты again. Booth, I’m in Любовь with you.”
“Good.”
Brennan looked at Booth with a puzzled look perplexed at what he сказал(-а) until he finished with. “Because I am in Любовь with Ты Bones.” Booth then leaned over and gently kissed her lips before she could say anything further. As he pulled her closer to him, she surrendered to his embraces.
The Далее morning as the sunlight entered the bedroom she was enjoying the comfort of the постель, кровати and the sound of Booth’s gentle snoring. As she watched him sleep, she finally knew what he meant when he сказал(-а) that it was not just sex but making Любовь and to be one with someone.
Brennan was on the phone with the state department when Booth entered her office. As he parked himself on her диван, мягкий уголок she was finishing her conversation. “I understand the importance of this trip for the senators and congressman but I do have other important projects that I need to take care of.
