"Come on, Bones! It's already past ten! Don't you wanna go home and relax? You know, relax? Kick back and do absolutely nothing?" Booth kept teasing her. He wanted her to go home. This was the fourth night in a row, that she was staying at the Jeffersonian overnight. He knew he would never get her to admit that she stayed the previous nights. But he knew it, he felt it.

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10. The counting really tended to help. She felt calm enough to deal with Booth, so she turned to face him. "Booth, I am staying here for just a couple of more hours, okay? I almost figured out the cause of death. But I still have to cross reference it. So, just go! Okay? She turned back to the remains an said under her breath. "Because I'm not leaving."

She's not mad at me, like before. Maybe I should push it, just a little bit. So he placed a hand on her shoulder, to turn her around. To his surprise, she turned the moment he touched her. But instead of seeing a Bones, ready to give in and just go home, he saw a Bones ready to kick his ass if he doesn't leave her alone. He quickly pulled back his hand, muttered a "See ya tomorrow, Bones" and left.

Bones watched him leave. Maybe I was a bit harsh on him. He's only trying to make sure I'm well rested for our case. She turned back to the remains. But I have never left someone, when I know I'm about to reveal the cause of death. She bend over the remains. And I'm not going to start now.

By the time Booth reached the door, Bones had already turned back to the remains, laying in front of her. You can't keep this up forever Bones. At one point you'll realize that you also need to rest. He opened the door and stepped outside in the cool night air. He walked over to his car and drove home.

Someone in the dark smiled. He was sitting in a car, parked next to Temperance Brennans. You decided to once again work late. Good girl. There's nobody left to protect you, since Booth's already gone. Which means tonight is my night. He got out of the car. He was glad he had his costume on. A police officer. He walked over to her car and kneeled. He pulled out a knife and slit one tire. He walked over to the others and let all the air out. You're mine now.
