Author's Note:
My first fanfic, please be nice and bear with me. Read and Review if you like, keep in mind this is just an introduction.

I do not own the characters of the TV show Bones. However, if Seeley Booth was for sale I would do a lot of illegal things to get at him.

I reached across the table to grab the file and Booth edged it just out of my reach.

"Booth if you expect me to help you have to actually let me read up on the case!"

Booth walked around the cadaver table to stand in front of me, a mere file folder's length apart. "Bones, I want you to be careful with this one, okay? I didn't even want to let you help but my boss insisted due to the previous investigational incidents. I need you to agree that if you decide to work on this case that you will listen to me about your need for protection."

"What is that supposed to mean? I'm not agreeing to let you protect me however you see fit because in most occurrences you're entirely too overprotective Booth! What is so different about this case?"

"The difference with this case… is that five women have already been killed and-"

"Booth I've investigated mass murders in a number of countries, not to mention my work here in the states that includes several serial murderers with far more kills under their belt. What is supposed to make this case so different, so dangerous?"

"BONES, if you'd let me finish I would tell you that this particular serial killer targets powerful, influential women in various communities around Virginia. But the reason this came to us are the FIVE WOMEN that were on the teams investigating this guy before us were killed. I have the bodies of the first three women, they are all mummy-rific and what not. They were found in an underground bunker that was apparently abandoned before he grabbed the fourth agent. He's killed 17 women in all and the FBI is starting to go crazy about this guy, but we have to be careful, I NEED you to be careful Bones. Please!" he reiterated before smacking the file folder into my stomach.

"Okay!" I said rolling my eyes causing him to raise his eyebrows with his 'don't mess with me on this one' face. "Alright Booth! I understand the danger now, I'll let you look out for me on this case, okay?" I took the file over to the computers and logged into the mainframe. "I'm going to need those bodies here as soon as possible and I'd like you to take Hodgins over to the bunker to see if he can get any particulates from the floor. There has to be something helpful at that location."

"You got it Bones. Hodgins!" he called Hodgins over from the other side of the station and they left to go about their business.

"Hey Bren, what do you need me to do?" Angela said swiping in and coming up behind me.

"Nothing yet, it seems that this case work is in order. They've identified all of the victims so far. I'm going to need you on hand once the bodies arrive to put their injuries into your simulator. Thanks Ange."
