THE GRAVE DIGGER TRIAL

***Disclaimer: I own nothing – everything belongs to Fox and Hart Hanson***

**This is my first story so please be gentle but constructive criticism will be appreciated, how else will I get better!!!**

*I realised there was never a Grave Digger trial and I hear there is going to be one and the letters will probably come out etc so here is my version of events!*

*I am a big Booth/Bones fan but also love Angela/Hodgins so both will be in this story.*

*****CHAPTER ONE*****

N.B. In this story Booth was never kidnapped by the Grave Digger but they did find out who the Grave Digger is and Wendell is in this story but he isn't one of the expert witnesses. Also in reference to Jared, I looked him up and all I could find out about his work was that he worked at the Pentagon.

*2 Weeks Before The Trial*

Booth jumped up on the platform to greet Bones who had been slightly off since some letter that had come the day before.

'So what's up with you then?' Booth asked.

'Huh?' Bones replied; she was totally out of it.

'Bones, are you in there?' Booth asked grinning.

'Right, yeah, sorry. I...' Bones started to say something and then stopped.

'You what?' Booth tried to gently nudge her into opening up.

She took a breath then sighed, 'Nothing'.

Booth knew she was hiding something from him but wasn't sure what he could do. He knew not to push her too far and knew that she would tell him when she was ready.

At that moment Hodgins came storming in, with Angela not far behind.

'I don't need YOUR help, why do you care anyway, it's not like you care about me, is it?' Hodgins screamed.

'Of course I care, sweetie!' Angela replied slightly taken aback.

'No you don't, you don't care about me at all' he said before turning around and walking back towards the entrance of the Jeffersonian.

'Man, what is your problem?' Booth asked, he believed no matter what was wrong you should never yell at a woman, running up to Hodgins before grabbing him by the shoulder and turning him round to face them.

'Sorry Angela I shouldn't have shouted, I just...' Hodgins started to say.

Angela, Booth, Cam and Sweets looked at him expectantly but he just looked at Brennnan.

They followed his gaze.

'What has Bones got to do with this?' Booth asked.

Brennan rolled her eyes and sighed.

'You know that letter I got yesterday? Well Hodgins got one too. They were simply our witness summons for The Grave Digger trial which has been set for two weeks from now' Brennan stated, matter of factly.

Although she stated it matter of factly, they could tell that it bothered her.

'Oh guys, I'm so sorry' Angela said sympathetically.

Angela and Booth now understood why Hodgins and Brennan had been acting so strangely, the Grave Digger had affected them a lot more than they would like to admit, Hodgins the worst!

'I'd rather not think about it, if that's okay' Hodgins stated.

'Me too' Brennan said.

'Of course' the others agreed.

The next day two employees of the Jeffersonian Institute (Angela and Cam), two agents of the FBI, well one agent and one psychologist (Booth and Sweets) and one ex-worker at the Pentagon (Booth's brother Jared) were informed that they would be needed as expert witnesses at the Grave Digger trial.

They all knew that for the next couple of weeks they would be extremely busy.
