Hello, this is my first Bones fanfiction, and hopefully the first one that I actually end up finishing

It took so long to get all the information right for the anthropology part, but if I got anything, please tell me so I can correct it. I'm not all that really into to anthropology, but I think it's cool

Disclaimer: I do not own Bones, if I did, the show wouldn't be ending in the next year or so and Sweets would be alive

Chapter One

No one's P.O.V.

"Oh come on Bones, you know I didn't mean it like that." Booth said, as they drove down the long rode, on their way to their next destination, the site of another murder, right in the middle of nowhere. "Then how, might I ask did you mean it?" She responded, giving him an inquisitive look "I thought you were all about having Christine play those brutish sports, so why can't she now?". "Okay look, yes when we first had Christine, I dreamt of her playing hockey, I was placing my dreams on to her, and now that she's older I still want her to play sports- if that's what she wants- but I don't want her to get crushed by one of those boys. I'd just feel a lot more comfortable if we signed her up for an all girls' team instead." He explained as he looked at Bones for a moment before returning his stare back onto the rode as they arrived at the destination, local police as well as photographers and their own team already there. "I just find it sexist that people feel the need to separate these children based simply on their sex, and I don't think Christine should have to conform to that." Brennan stressed, trying to make her husband understand. "Alright, look Bones we're already here, let-let's just finish this conversation later, let's focus on this murder now" he said, slightly exasperated as he got out of their car and started walking behind her toward the body.

Bones slipped on her latex gloves and crouched down close to the body. "Judging by the eyebrow ridge and the square jawline, it appears safe to assume that the remains are male. Also, based on the medial rib ends I predict that the victim was either in his late teens or early twenties. The structure and length of the bones indicates a short stature, which I estimate to be 149.86 centimeters, or about 4 feet eleven inches tall." As Booth listened to her explain her findings from the bones, he looked around the area. He could see Hodgins, taking samples and samples of all the bugs and things that had been festering on the body. He could see Bones' latest squintern of the week, leaning in close to the body to get the pictures necessary for analyzation. He could see Cam trying to get any information that will be vital to her autopsy from the local police. As Brennan continued speaking, he was snapped out of his reverie "because of the bite marks and scavenger marks, it is difficult to tell time or cause of death, although it does appear as though he was dropped from a large height. I'll be able to determine more when we get back to the lab." She says as she stands up and removes her gloves. "Get those pictures to Angela so she can find out who this person is." She tells her newest intern, who looks so excited he might just faint. "Yes ma'am!" he mumbles out quickly, and scurries off to get the pictures he took to Angela, as Booth and Bones head toward the car so they can return to the lab and find out what happened to this poor soul.

When the whole Scooby team had returned to the Jeffersonian, they all went their separate ways, Cam, as well as the new intern and the remains went up to the lab's forensic platform and scanned herself through so she can perform as much of an autopsy as she can before the bones get stripped of their flesh, also working so she can help get Angela a face quicker. Angela, in turn, went to her office so she could start working with what she already had, after giving a quick peck on the cheek to Hodgins, who then wheeled himself into his lab to pull any information from the bugs or the plants that had been taken from the site. And finally, Brennan had gone into her office before she was to go work on the bones. She grabbed her lab coat and headed back out, and went to go meet Cam and help her with the remains.

Since looking at the remains and on the way back to the bio-medical lab, she'd been kind of out of it, but she couldn't figure out why she was feeling that way. She knew that Booth had noticed her staring out the window on their way back, and how she didn't immediately rush to get to work on the victim.

'Could it be this victim?' She wondered as she scanned her card and stepped onto the platform to get to work. But why? Why was she getting this strange feeling in her gut, although it's not like she believes in following one's gut when it comes to anthropology? What was so special about this particular victim that was different from the regular bodies that she usually dealt with?

"Dr. Brennan?" Cam asked, a strange look on her face "are you okay?" Bones stood there for a few seconds, still thinking, before looking up at her boss and nodding, grabbing a pair of gloves. "Yes, I apologize. Let's get started." The others followed suit.

"There are multiple contusions to the sternum, as well as the arms and legs. Could have been caused by blunt force trauma, though I've heard you don't like it when we jump to conclusions." The intern, Nick Graham, stated, trailing off and mumbling the last part when Brennan hadn't responded before. "There also appears to be some localized head trauma, enough to damage the skull but not fracture or do anything worse to it." He continued on as Brennan joined him. Her eyes trailed up and followed the finger that pointed out a decently small dent in the skull that was beginning to show of the decomposing body. "Yes," she agreed, "we'll have to keep that in mind when we begin to look for a weapon."

'This poor child, he was so young.' Was the thought that went through her head. "What could he have done that would have led to him being killed.'

Little did she know, that what this boy did would be brought to light sooner than she'd think.

Sorry, it's kinda short, I'll try to make the next chapter longer, and I'll try to update regularly.

Let me know what you think. :)

Until next time, peace
