A/N: So, this is my first fanfic ever. It's a case fic but some BB action is bound to happen. I have to warn you: I'm not an expert on FBI protocol or things like that so there will be inaccuracies on that part, I apologize. Well anyway, enjoy (or at least, try not to hate it)!

Booth entered the airport, walking straight to the arrivals board and trying to find the arriving flight from Egypt. He didn't need to stay there for long as he heard a distant, familiar voice: his partner's. He could recognize her voice immediately. Soon he realized that his partner was in fact having an argument with someone. He walked around trying to locate her and finally found her at the baggage claim. He felt amused as he watched her rage at an airport employee, yelling and pointing a finger at him.

"I want that bag located NOW. The content of the bag is irreplaceable and I swear, if you don't find it in the next ten minutes, I will have the FBI on you before you know it!"

The man tried to stay calm and reason with the lady in front of him. "Miss, we are doing everything we can to find the missing bag. You needn't worry, I'm sure it will appear sooner or later."

"It's Dr. Brennan, and the 'later' part isn't an option. I want.."

Booth now emerged from the distance, figuring that if he didn't stop the situation in time the airport employee would soon be lying on the floor with a nosebleed.

"Hey Bones, what's up?"

Brennan was too enraged to even realize who was asking the question. "The airport seems to have lost my bag, the most imp..." She now noticed that it was her partner standing next to her. "Wait, Booth, what are you doing here?"

"I came to pick you up. Now, maybe you could take a deep breath or two and give these people time to find your bag, okay?"

The man next to them took the chance to talk now that the woman finally seemed to remain silent. "Dr. Brennan, we'll contact you as soon as we locate the bag. Don't worry, sometimes these bags just get lost but almost all of them are found."

Brennan shot gamma rays of hate out of her eyes and snatched the 'missing baggage' form from the man. She filled it out, gave it back to the man and stormed off, Booth following her.

"Whoa, slow down Bones! It's hard to keep up." Brennan kept on going, mumbling fiercely to herself. Soon she was outside and suddenly realized she wasn't sure which direction she was heading. Booth joined her and pointed towards the parking lot. "There's the car." They started walking towards the car, Brennan finally calming down a bit.

"Now, would you like to tell me what was so important with that bag?" Booth asked as he unlocked the car.

"It had a skull in it. An ancient skull that I was going to examine. They could've lost the bag with my clothes and such, but no, they had to lose the one with the irreplaceable skull." She got in the car.

As they drove off, Booth tried to calm her down. "Well these things happen. But I'm positive they will find it. Now, I assume you've been working during your vacation again? You managed to have any fun?"

"I did have fun, I was involved in a dig. There were plenty of ancient remains. I could've stayed even longer."

Booth felt amused. If anyone else would have said that, it would have sounded like a joke. But with Brennan it was sincere, and he knew it. After a short silence she asked: "What did you do on your vacation?"

"Well not much. I spent some time with Parker, we went to the zoo and a ball game. I think he had a good time." Brennan nodded and silence fell again. "Look Bones, there was a reason I came to pick you up."

"So you didn't come to pick me up just.. to pick me up?"

"Yeah um... We've got a case. A body was found this morning."

"Somehow I'm not surprised."

They arrived at the FBI building and Booth parked the car. "Why are we here?" Brennan wondered.

"This is where the body is." Booth answered and crossed the street. Brennan hurried after him and started ranting. "The FBI transferred the body here? Why would they do that? First of all, it's probable that they have compromised the remains and second, there's no decent storage room for the remains here and I can't even imagine what the temperature here has done to the bones. I can't believe..."

Booth interrupted her. "Just save your breath, you'll understand soon." He knew that she always took her work seriously and he appreciated it. But sometimes she would go over to the obsessive side.

Soon they were at the roof of the building, facing a body with no flesh tied to a pole on the edge of the roof.
