A/N: WOW! I am doing it my fellow Boneheads…This story though has a mind of its own and starts after "the doctor in the photo", I really like the stories where Hannah is a major role in pushing Booth and Brennan to the extreme. Booth is a jerk and Brennan is Heart-broken, but what happens when Max once again gets involved with some dirty doings which leaves Brennan in more danger than anyone really anticipated, will Booth finally see what he truly wants?
Guys just remember I am a B&B shipper all the way, and this story will be rated m for later chapters, because who does not like smut? *wink*.
This is for"undercover squint", thank you.
All mistakes are mine. I am however open to constructive criticism…

Chapter One:
Sleep: that is all she wanted to do, was to curl up on her bed and sleep, those where the thoughts of one tired Forensic Anthropologist after landing a gruesome case and being up for the last 48 hours to find their victims cause of death. The brilliant scientist was too exhausted, emotionally and physically, after confessing her feelings to Booth a few nights ago in his SUV only to have it shoved right back at her…his words still echoing in her head… "I'm with someone now, and Hannah she's not a consolation prize, I Iove her." Even though it crushed her heart Brennan knew she had brought it upon herself. She had pushed him away and into the arms of another woman, now it was her turn to move on. Her thoughts of that night where interrupted by the heels approaching the Bone Room. Only one person she mused: Cam.
"Dr Brennan", Cam said approaching Brennan with slight apprehension in her step, and seemingly out of breathe, "good, you still here…I-"
"Oh, Dr Saroyan I was just about to take these particulates to Dr Hodgins" replied Brennan wondering what Cam needed from her, grabbing the dish and heading towards the door only to be stopped by the Pathologist.
"Dr Brennan, Booth is on his way over-"Cam started only to be cut off by Brennan, "well, Dr Saroyan if he has information pertinent to the case then I am sure he would want to tell us in person, right?"
"No Dr Brennan, this is a new case, but I think Booth needs to fill you in…he should be here in 5 minutes" Cam said looking at Brennan with such empathy knowing this case is going to crush her even more. After working side by side with Brennan for almost 5 years, Cam had come to respect the young Anthropologist and Best Selling Author. Even though they had started off bad and hated each other in the beginning. They have learnt the art of compromise in the workplace or let's just call it monopoly.
Brennan looked at Cam incredulously, "a new case? But I have not even found cause of death for this case, how can the FBI suddenly hand us a new case?" Brennan's brain once again in overdrive.
"Must be high profile," she thought.
"Dr Brennan, Booth will be here any minute to explain: why don't you take those particulates to the 'ookie room' for Hodgins to examine and wait for him in your office." Cam interrupted.
"Dr Saroyan, Cam- what is going on?" Cam shrugged "I am not even sure myself; all Booth asked was for me to get you to your office, he wanted to speak to you in private"
"But why hasn't he called me?" Brennan asked feeling sad at the fact that Booth called Cam and not her.
"Dr Brennan, his been getting your voicemail for the better part of the day" Cam answered while Brennan removed her latex gloves to retrieve her cell phone from her pocket.
"Oh! Ten miss calls, it was on silent…" Brennan said while walking out of the Bone Room to give Hodgins the particulates and leaving Cam dumbfounded all to herself shaking her head, she thought ,"when are those two ever going to get their head on straight and just jump each other like wild rabbits, I am running a circus here!" She shook her head and moved towards her office just as Booth came barreling in through the Jeffersonian sliding doors, "Cam! Where's Bones?!"
"Well hello to you to Seeley" she teased.
"Don't call me Seeley, Camille" he retorted
"Don't call me Camille" she fired back "Dr Brennan went to see Hodgins, then to wait for you in her office"
"Thanks Cam" he started walking towards Brennan's office only to be pulled back by Cam
"What's really going on? Booth, you look as pale as a sheet!"
"Not now Cam, I have to see Bones okay? We will discuss this later" booth said walking once again to his partners' office. He stopped at her door way, she was sitting at her desk engrossed in her computer screen. "Probably reading her emails, he thought"
He loved watching her, for years he could just stand there and stare at her natural beauty, the way her eyes glistened when she was reading, how she scrunched up her nose when she did not understand something, when she frowned at his colloquialisms…she was a rare beauty, like a Siberian Tiger. But he had to stop looking at his partner in that way, he is in a serious relationship now and he might even ask Hannah to marry him. Gently he knocked on her door to make his presence known as not to startle her.
"Booth, come in" she said
"Hey Bones" he walked in closing the door behind him for little more privacy from all the others in the lab. He walked over to her desk and pulled out the chair opposite her, sitting down. They sat staring at each other for what seemed to be an eternity, Booth wanting to break the news to Brennan and Brennan wondering what the hell is going on, she could see the concern, evident all over his face.
"Booth-"
"Bones-"
They started at the same time, "I'm sorry, you go first Booth, and Cam said we had a new case?"
"Yeah Bones, about that – there is a new case but we're not on it, conflict of interest"
"Conflict of interest?" Brennan asked, even more confused.
"They f- found a body" he stammered, not sure how to start. "On a rooftop, gutted and burned"
For the longest moment Brennan sat there not sure how react…looking at Booth she let the information sink in.
"Gutted and burned?" she repeated feeling slightly light headed.
"Booth! You don't think-"she couldn't say his name, tears glazing her eyes.
"Yes Bones, the FBI thinks it's your dad! They think Max is the murderer"
Sleep will definitely not be happening tonight for the anthropologist…..
