Spring was just starting in the District of Columbia . The flowers were out in full bloom, and the trees had their new leaves and people were out walking around with out their heavy coats.
At the Jeffersonian Metro-Legal Lab the crew was outside having lunch in the gardens.
The only one missing from the group was Bones, officially known as Dr. Temperance Brennan Forensic Anthropologist. She was still in her office at her microscope examining X-rays of leg bones of a two hundred year old man. Deep in thought she did not hear the arrival of her partner Seely Booth, FBI Special Agent.
"Bones what are you doing in your office on a beautiful day like to-day?"
Surprised she Rise her head sharply, turning to the intruder.
"Booth what did you sneaking up on me like that. I could have hurt my eye on the microscope."
"Sorry it just such a nice day today, after such a lousy winter, I thought you would get out and get the sun at lunch."
"Sorry Booth I did not realize it was lunch time."
"That Ok we do not have time for lunch now we have a special case."
"Just what is a special case Booth, aren't they are all special to someone."
"Well Bones yes, but on this one's extra special, we are going on a field trip, to Boston."
"What is in Boston and why us?
"Theirs the 'Boston Red SOX, my favor the Bruins, the old North Church , 'One if buy land two if by sea', The Freedom Trail. But we are searching for bones of Whitey Bulger victim about 19 missing bodies. They think they know where one is and they want the best to examine and identify the body so they can lock up the case nice and tight."
"Booth you know I am not very socially aware, so who is Whitey Bulger?"
"He was a big time Irish gangster in Boston, from 1961 to 1967, his gang was known as 'The Winter Hill Gang'.
The FBI has looked for him a long time, since he tool flight in 1994, then they found him in California. Now he in jail for good, the rats are starting to tell where the bone are buried."
"When do we need to leave Booth?"
"I think we go up to Boston this afternoon and we can get started. From what I have been told they have two sites and so we maybe about a week."
"I'll have to clear this with Cam and you need to talk with Hanna so she does not get the wrong idea of our trip to Boston."
"Cam is being informed as of a few minutes ago and Hanna is in California with the president. We are not together anymore."
A look of surprise and relief crossed her face but Booth missed it
"Not to pry Booth but Hanna seems to spend a lot of time away. It must have been hard on you both."
"Yes it is Bones, but I don't want to talk about it now."
"Ok Booth I guess I need to go home and pack."
"Bones I'm not tell you what to pack but you are going to be in the spotlight as you are the top of your field and the State of Mass is asking for you personally for this project. So please be ready for the media, i.e. press and TV to want to talk to you every minute you are without a guard."
With this Bones left the Jeffersonian and went home to pack.
Two hours later Booth knocked on Bones' door.
Bones answered with a frown on her face and cookie in her mouth.
"Booth your very early, are you in a hurry to get to Boston?"
"Not just Boston just out of town."
Come in and help me close my bags."
Booth went in and helped her latch the latches on her three bags and carried them to the SUV.
The trip to Boston was fun as they we flown on the FBI jet direct to Logan airport.
They were in the private part of the airport, but they were still surrounded by members of the Boston and National press. The press were calling out her name and asking her questions.
A few years ago she would have ran and hid and be very upset, today she stopped and faced them head on.
"Please stop.
I have just arrived in the city of Boston, I have not even been briefed on what I am needed here for. So please give me a day to be briefed and then I'll hold a press conference for you all."
They were driven to a hotel in some part of the city. They rode in a black SUV just like Booth's in DC. This one seem different it rode harsher and appeared slower starting off at stop lights. The windows were heavily tinted so it was like cave in the back.
"Booth this truck is like yours but something is different?"
"Bones this truck is armored, it bullet proof and bomb proof."
"Why are we in it?"
"Protection for you Bones."
"From what, or who Booth?"
"Some of the People who were Withies acquaintances do not think we, you should be digging up the past."
"This is not making me feel safe Booth. Are these people as cold-blooded as you imply or is this overindulgence?"
"I hope it overkill Bones, I really am becoming attached to my partner."
"You better be we have a lot in common and I want a lot of time to get to explore these common benefits."
Arriving at a hotel, they went into thru the underground parking garage and stopped at the elevator. Four agents formed a corridor for them to walk to the elevator. The went up in the elevator to the top floor. They quickly walked to their room went inside and locked the door.
They unpacked their bags, and Bones walked around the room. Looking out the window Bones asked.
"Booth this is appealing but I thought looking around that Boston was a bigger city, you know taller. The building around here are only five or six stories high."
"Bones that not the city of Boston. We are in Quincy, MA about ten minutes from Boston's downtown. This hotel was built on an old stone quarry and it's the tallest in the area so we are on the high ground, if attacked."
"Again with the frightening information Booth."
"Sorry Bones just a need to know. Lets get something from room service then the SAC of Boston will be coming to give us an up-date."
"Just order me a large salad and extra coffee please."
Their food came and after an hour the SAC knocked on the door.
"Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan, I'm Phillip Saraland the SAC Boston, thank you for coming.
"Dr Brennan and I are happy to help. Lets sit and go over and lay out the ground work for the search."
The talked for a little over two hours then the SAC left, and Booth and Bones went over the reports and the areas they were to cover. "Booth I have been doing research of Mr. Bulger and the FBI in Boston were in league with him. The former SAC is in jail for murder. Also his boss served jail time but got a deal to be snipe."
"It's snitch, not a snipe Bone. But yes you are correct."
"This does not make me feel any safer. I hope all the bad FBI people are gone , but they is no grantees new bad people will not come along."
"I love the FBI and these shithead are a blight on my FBI record and if I find and dirt them they are going to be gone also and quick."
"Ok Booth lets make it an early night we are going to some place called Revere tomorrow. Is it a long ride Booth?"
"No Bone just a little north of Boston proper."
"Booth could we walk the 'Freedom Trail' before we go home?"
"I'll see if we can do it. We may have to do it undercover."
"I love undercover Booth."
They slept till 7am the next morning. The consent buzzing of Booth cell woke them up.
"Agent Booth…yes ok in about… fifteen minutes…we'll get coffee on the way. Come on Bones rise and shine we are off to the first site in fifteen minutes."
"I get the shower first Booth."
"Why not share?"
"Not going to happen, not yet we have too many question to ask before that will happened..
So the both dressed and met their armored car in the garage. It took over an hour for them to reach the tidal flats of Reveir. The ground searching Radar had locater two possible sites and they were waiting for Bones to ok the dig.
"Booth this first site is a pair of dogs , so no dig. The second is human and Booth It appears two be two people."
They started the dig using State Police forensic people along with FBI forensic techs. Booth and a Boston FBI agent went out for coffee, and returned in a half hour.
"Coffee Bones, and something called 'Donuts holes."
Bone stopped and drank the coffee and tried the "Donut holes'.
"Booth this coffee is fantastic can you get me more, and more holes please."
"Sure thing Bones, so you like this coffee better than home?"
"Yes I do. See if you can find some more near the hotel."
"On it now, boss."
Booth returned in an hour with a bag and a box like container.
"Booth what have you got. It does not look like a cup of coffee."
"That where you are wrong, This called a box of Joe. It has about ten or more cups of coffee inside. It has a screw cap and they give you cups and all the added junk to sweeter and lighten you coffee as you like it. Neat right Bones?"
"It looks alright to me. What the brand name?"
"Dunkin Donuts,® It's a big chain, they said they have a few in the DC area."
"Ok we'll check them out when we get back. Booth We are going to need lights as this is going to take time."
"Ok I'll call in the Revere FD they have lights. Bones you and I are going back to the hotel in an hour and you are going to rest. Resting for three hours, then you can come back.
By then they will be at the level for your talents to take over."
"Booth I rather stay hear and control the dig."
"I know that but you are still recovering from you injury, so a rest is what you will need to do to be able to complete this case."
"I'm not happy but that was our agreement and I keep my end of the deal."
An hour later Both and Bones were back in their hotel room and Booth made Bone lay down on her bed and rest. She fell asleep and slept for four hours.
She never told Booth that her back was killing her, knowing that he would remove her from the site and maybe take her to a hospital. She had managed to slip the pain pills into her without Booth seeing her, she now was taking four pill a day. If a doctor or hospital ever saw her back they would defiantly admit her and that was something she was not going to let happen. She knew she had ruptured a disk when she was pushed down the stairs at the last arrest she and Booth made last month.
