I've posted a bunch of fics at the Bones Boards, but some have been asking if I'll post it here so, here it is. Hope you enjoy.

The girl ran, full speed down the dark alleyway. She dodged garbage cans and puddles, trying to be as soundless as possible. She kept looking back over her shoulder, convinced she was being chased. It was everywhere, his blood. All over her hands, face and clothes. She ran faster, as if the running would clear the blood off her clothes and the tears from her eyes.

It was because of these frequent glances over her shoulder that she ran into the FBI agent. He was exiting the back door of a restaurant, feeling light as air, his case was solved. The gruesome murder case he and his partner had been working on for the past two weeks was solved and he was looking foreword to a couple of well deserved beers back at her place.

He was turning around to say something to her when the terrified girl ran right into him, knocking him off balance and into a wall. The girl tripped, but got back up to start running again, not even glancing back.

The FBI agent's eager and now slightly pissed partner, Temperance Brennen overtook the girl easily and pinned her to the wall, having already recognized the substance on her shirt as blood.

"Bones!" FBI agent Seeley Booth tried to wrench Brennen's hands off the girl but she protested.

"Booth, she's covered in blood."

"Yea, I can see that Bones, but we can't get answers from her if you suffocate her into a coma."

Brennen let go of the girl who gasped for air and in the process dropped something she'd been holding in hr hands.

Booth took her by the shoulders and tried to talk to her, but she was hysterical and couldn't seem to hear her.

"No!! Please no! He's coming after me please, please let me go, I'm sorry I ran into you! I'm sorry I'm sorry…" The girl broke down in sobs and collapsed, would've hit the ground if Booth hadn't caught her.

He tried to calm her, while also clinging to his trained indifference that was rapidly escaping him. The girl was no more than fifteen, and she was absolutely terrified, of what he didn't know.

He became aware of Brennen poking him in the arm.

"It's okay, shhh…stop crying. What is it Bones?" He twisted around to look at her, irritated. She was thrusting something that was an odd brownish white color toward his face.

"She dropped this."

"What is it?"

Brennen squinted at the object once more before answering.

"It's a bone."
