Disclaimers: I do not own Bones or any of its characters, and I am not making any money on this.
All the original characters are my though such as Tucker James, Bad guy ( I don't have a name for him yet), Linda Prat, Jodee Wright, and so on. So if you don't recognize them then they are probably one of mine.

3:00 A.M. Sunday
Medico-Legal lab
The Jeffersonian Institute
Dr. Temperance Brennan had just finished identifying the bones of yet anther world war two soldier this one was Lt. Lee Bandis of the US Navy age: 22. It was sad to know how young this soldier was when he died.
With a sigh Temperance glanced at her watch and was surprised to see how late it was, then she sighed again and made a face she was hungry and didn't think Wong Foo's would be open at three A.M. even if it was the weekend. 'Great now it's fast food or whatever I can find at home.' Tempe thought as she went to get her back pack like bag and car keys.
She looked around her lab one last time before she left then walked out the door and past the young security guard who called out "Goodnight Dr. Brennan see you tomorrow."
Tempe stopped and looked at him confused "Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, it's Sunday morning." He said pointing to his watch "So I guess I should say good morning. Hey, would you like me to walk you, to your car Dr. Brennan? It is pretty late."
She shook her head no and smiled at him "Good bye Tucker."
She liked Tucker. He was helpful and funny. He and Angela had gone out a couple times last year. Tempe thinks that's why he is always looking out for her and Angela.
She walked to her parking spot only to find it empty. 'Oh yeah.' She remembered earlier when she came to work that there was a small red motorcycle in her spot, so she had, had to park all the way in section C, not far enough away you had to use the shuttle but it was still quite a long walk. It was dark, but the parking lot was well lit. So Tempe felt it was safe enough to walk it alone. Besides the Jeffersonian had good security.
By the time Brennan was half way to her car, she began to feel uneasy as if someone was watching her. She had felt like this a lot the last few days but every time she would look around. She could not see anyone.
She may not be able to read people very well, but Tempe could always trust her instincts to tell her when she was in danger and right now they were telling her to watch out.
Tempe looked around the parking lot, she now noticed it was almost completely empty, so she desided to jog the rest of the way to her car which was closer to her then the building.
When Tempe finally reached her car, feeling just a little anxious as she scanned the area, and found that someone had let the air out of her front tire. This was the first time she truly wished she did not have a convertible.
Temperance heard something behind her and spun around to see what it was, but just as before she couldn't see anyone. 'This is crazy, your just being paranoid. It was just a prank or maybe a leak. I'll just call Tucker.' Tempe thought as she reached for her cell phone, getting angry with herself for being so unsettled.
Just then someone grabbed her from behind and knocked the cell phone out of her hand, She heard it crack and then saw it slid under her car so even if it some how still worked she would not be able to reach it.
Tempe tried to fight back, but he had his arms around her, pinning her hands to her chest, she knew even if she were to scream for help no one would be able hear her over the sounds of the city, but she was never one to give up easily. She jumped and kicked trying to brake loose, but he was just too strong for her. She needed to find some other way to get free.
She could tell he was not much taller then herself. 'Maybe I can make him lose his balance' Tempe thought. So she planted her feet on the ground and pushed against the man as hard as she could, making him fall on her car. Tempe heard the man grunt and curse in pain, then she felt him lose his grip.
Temperance wasted no time running away, but almost immediately he pushed away from the car and was able to grab the thick strap of her beg that was slung over her head and shoulder. And jerked it back, making her lose her balance and fall. Tempe was so surprised by this she had no time to react before she hit her head on the curb just in front of her car, knocking her out cold.
