BONES

Insert Creative Title Here

I do not own Bones or the characters

Rated T for violence, etc.

Wendell just so happens to be my favourite intern. xP He's adorable!

Oh yeah. This is before Brennan's pregnancy/Vincent's death even though Vincent doesn't appear in the story.

Or maybe he will. I don't know yet.

OC POV

The victim lay at his feet, curled in to a shivering, bleeding and broken ball.

He was smaller than the other two, but he had a surprising strength that had landed several defensive blows. Regardless, his own power had reigned supreme. Now was nearing the end of his fun. The victim had long since run out of the strength to respond.

The Master grinned at the pleasure of his game.

He would find another victim before long. Each time his skill grew more crafty, and each time he found new ways to enjoy the game.

Withdrawing a dagger from his pocket, he lifted the victim from the ground, savouring his terrified struggles; he drew the knife across his throat and left him to bleed to death in the dirt as he walked away.

Booth POV

"Ah, that's disgusting," he said with a grimace as he took in the scene in front of him.

A half decayed body lay twisted in an agonizing position, rotting flesh hanging from an obvious skeleton, with stings holding pieces together that had nearly fallen. The back was arched around and the jaw was frozen in to a scream of agony that bore straight to his soul. The empty eye sockets - he didn't want to know what had happened to the eyes - stared at a lost scene. What got him the most was the throat was a gaping mass, revealing the bone behind the torn flesh.

It reminded him of something he had seen in a morbid horror movie - but this certainly didn't make him think "human".

Monster, maybe.

But the fact that this ... thing... was once human... It was disgusting!

Bones looked up from where she was crouched over the skeleton, gloved hands gliding with practiced ease over the grizzly creature.

"I agree. The body has been horribly mutilated..." She trailed off in to an inaudible murmur that contained words with too many syllables for him to understand.

"Naw, she's a beauty!" Booth turned to glare at Hodges who was staring at an enormous spider that made his stomach churn. His blue eyes were filled with an excited twinkle as he looked over 'her' body, and he was grinning almost fatherly.

Booth heaved a breath and turned back to Bones. "Anything?"

"As of now I'd say that he was killed by a sharp object being ripped across his throat-"

"So someone slashed his throat. Anything else?" He couldn't understand why she couldn't just say it in English. Simple, normal, everyday English. It would make his job much easier.

"The body is covered in-" she trailed off as a small animal burrowed its way out of the decaying body's empty eye.

"Ugh!" Booth turned and began to walk away before Hodges started to squeal like a fan girl.

Cam's POV

After separating the flesh from the bones, she went to analyze the contents of the stomach. Hopefully that could point out as to where the victim may have been last before having met his - Dr. Brennan's pre-exam had pointed out the body was indeed a male - demise. With that discovered, she could then hope to unravel the events that led up to the death so Booth could, hopefully, find the victim's killer.

The computer beeped.

She turned and with semi disappointment found that the stomach contents contained chicken, rice, and carrots - meaning the victim could have been anywhere, even at home, for his last meal.

Hopefully Angela could give the victim a face so they could discover any links to his past that may point out a few leads.

"Doctor Saroyan?"

She looked up.

There was only one person around here that used her professional name so tenaciously. Sure enough, there was Wendell leaning in to the doorway, with his dirty blonde hair scattered with no real pattern across his head.

"Yes, Mr. Bray?"

"You have to come see this," and with that, he was gone.

Apologies. This is short. Anyway. Cliffhangers. :D Sorry. Read and review please? I tend to not much unless I find that people actually want me to. xP Improvements, stupidness, etc? I'm not intelligent enough to understand all the Bone speak, so I won't include that much. Anyway. This is going to turn all crime-y! Just a hint. :D
