"I'm just saying you could buy a 100 inch plasma screen T.V. , a house in Washington State. Invest in something!"

"Booth I am not buying a plasma screen T.V., then I would never get rid of you.."

a red light. Then silence

"Tempe? Is that you? Said a man wearing a brown jacket and plaid shirt in his white Cruiser in the lane next to them.

"Dad! What are you doing in D.C. ?"

"Coming to see my daughter and her partner of course"

"Hey Max, always a pleasure" said Booth waving slightly.

"The pleasure is all mine"

"Dad, I have work to do"

"No, you don't " whispered Booth sheltering his mouth on the left side so Max couldn't read his lips.

Brennan's phone rings

"Brennan"

Brennan hangs up

"We have a body"

a green light

"Bye dad"

Vroom!

"That was rude, Bones"

"What! Why?"

"Leaving your dad there"

"Booth you accelerated"

"Bones, you pushed the accelerator down not me"

"Your statement constitutes a powerful argument"

"Right.. Okay, anyway where are we going Bones?"

"The Airport"

"The Airport?"

"Yes."

"To where?"

"New York."

"I love New York! "

"You seem very excited"

"I am!"

"Yes, you are"

"So about this T.V. - "

"Booth I am not getting a plasma screen T.V."

"Plea-"

"No!"

-Well this is awkward-

-Awkward minutes passed by until..-

"Booth? The Airport!"

"Oh right"

-6:00pm on the plane and very tired slowly drifting to sleep-

"Bones? Bones?" Booth says gently rocking Brennan back and forth to wake her up.

"What? Huh?" Brennan said sleepily.

"We're in New York."

Brennan sat up looking around wearily at the empty seats around her

"Oh yea, right, sorry."

Collecting her travel bag from the overhead compartment and walking out behind Booth

"You had a nice sleep didn't you?"

"Yes."

The two grabbed their bags and exited the airport

"Taxi!" Brennan shouted as she stuck her arm out into the traffic.

As the taxi pulled up Brennan picked up her bags ready to put in the Taxi

Booth lifted the lid of the trunk for Brennan to place her bags in

Slam as Booth closed the Taxi door.

"Where are we going?" The Taxi driver asked.

"The nearest Broadcasting Tower on the left please."

"Sure."

A few minutes later they arrive.

A couple is walking towards them the woman is wearing a red trench coat, blue skinny jeans, tan high heel boots and has long curly brown hair. While the man is wearing blue jeans, black shoes a blue and white plaid shirt with spiky dark brown hair.

"Hi, I'm Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD."

"Hey, I'm Rick Castle just NY."

"Rick Castle, the Author?"

"No, Booth that's Richard Castle this is Rick"

Booth shakes his head.

"I'm Special Agent Seeley Booth F.B.I.-"

"-Yes he is very special"

"-And this is my partner Dr. Tempe-"

"I can speak for myself Booth, I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan from the Jeffersonian Institute."

"And these are Detectives Ryan and Esposito" Beckett says ushering towards two men Det. Ryan is dressed in a white shirt with a grey waistcoat, black pants and black shoes. Det. Esposito is wearing a purple shirt with a black tie and his badge around his neck complete with blue jeans and black shoes.

"You two are more than just partners aren't you?" Booth asks pointing to Castle and Beckett.

"No" Beckett replies grinding her teeth, shaking her head and slowly looking down.

While Ryan and Esposito were nodding and grinning behind them.

"Not yet" Castle answers at the same time with a cocky grin spreading across his face.

"Don't we have a body?" Brennan asks breaking the silence.

"Yes!" Beckett shouted sharply.

Beckett and Brennan walked together while Castle and Booth walked behind them.

"So are you… and uh… Booth?"

"What?"

Beckett glares at Brennan

"Oh together? Booth and I, no… no!" Brennan replies grinding her teeth.

They all start to walk rather rapidly to the crime scene yellow police tape wrapped around orange cones, the smell of burnt flesh filled the air, the body was awful, it was on a radio broadcasting tower it had been stabbed, gutted, and burnt. It was staged exactly like Garrett Delaney - the arms out stretched the wrists were tied with number 8 wire and hanging limply, the ankles were tied with both feet pointing down.

This was by far the worst thing Det. Beckett had ever seen.

"Pelvis shape indicates female, late 40's early 50's."

"How long has she ..uh .. Been there, Bones?"

"It's impossible to tell here, we'll take some samples of the ground and surrounding foliage and ship them with the body back to the Jeffersonian for Zack and Hodgins to look at."

"Dude" Esposito says, turning to Ryan.

"Can we go?" Ryan asks, turning to Beckett, she simply glared back.

"Actually, that would be most helpful." Brennan replies. Causing Castle, Esposito and Ryan to bump fists, while Beckett looks at Booth and shakes her head.

"We need to get back to the 12th, check with the Captain." Beckett says, breaking the silence.

"Uh .. Right." Ryan agrees while clearing his throat.

"Could we catch a ride with you please?"

"Su-"

"-Dibs on Booth!" Esposito shouts

"Dr. Brennan, you're with us. Castle, you're in the back."

"What! I .. Uh -" Beckett glares .

"Fine!"

"Good boy. I'll get you an ice-cream when we get back."

"You better. Chocolate."

"Thanks for taking me guys."

"Hah! No problem" Esposito replies.

"Someone wanted you to come .." Ryan mutters under his breath.

"So, what's it like in D.C?"

"Oh, uh , someone gets murdered, someone else does it."

"Imagine that." Ryan says sarcastically.

"Thank you for taking me." Brennan says to Beckett as they pull into the 12th's car park.

"You're welcome, it was my pleasure."

Ryan, Esposito and Booth pull up next to them and follow them into the lift.

"Hiya, Captain. We've got some visitors from D.C."

"Hi, I'm, Special Agent Seeley Booth, FBI. And this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan from the Jeffersonian Institute."

"Hi, I'm Captain Roy Montgomery, pleasure to meet you two."

"Um .. Do you mind if I make a quick call to our attorney in D.C.?"

"No .. no. Of course not." Beckett replies quickly.

"Cheers."

"Could I set up a video feed to my lab, please?"

"Sure .. Here's my desk." Beckett replies ushering towards her desk.

"Thanks." Brennan says while setting up her laptop on Kate's desk

"Caroline isn't answering." Booth shouts surprisingly, looking at Brennan.

"Hello, Dr. Brennan."

"Hi Zack, I'm sending remains and some samples back."

"Where are you?"

"The 12th Precinct in New York."

"Oh, Okay."

" A few Detectives, and Booth are coming back with the body."

"She called me a Detective!" Castle whispers to Kate while nudging her with his shoulder.

Beckett shakes her head and carries on.

"Bye, Zack."

"Bye."

Closes her laptop lid and Kate takes her to her hotel before Beckett, Castle, Esposito, Ryan and Booth go back to D.C.

On the plane they all quickly fall asleep…
