In the episode "The Daredevil in the Mold", Seeley Booth proposes to Hannah, who turns him down. What if Hannah were to come back? What would happen?

PS- I LOVE Zach Addy, he's my fave intern (minus the whole Gormogon incident) so he's in this 3

Prologue

"Don't touch the body until I get there." Temperance Brennan hung up and put her coffee cup in the dishwasher. "Booth we need to drop Christine off at daycare before the body decomposes."

"Okay, Bones let's go then. Don't worry, your squints will take care of it." Seeley Booth picked up Christine and put her in the car.

Part 1

Bones gaped at the sight before her. "I know I was shocked too. Look at this! I found particulates in the wood, but I won't know what it is until we get back to the lab." Hodgins picked at the wooden coffin resting against the alley wall.

"I want everyone away from the coffin! You can look through the glass, but other than that, don't touch anything! Dr. Brennan, you'll want to see this up close. Read the note." Cam Saroyan walked briskly to Bones and escorted her to the body.

"It's so awful. Who would do this to her?" Angela stared at the 14-year-old girl in the coffin and took pictures. "According to Cam, she's 14 based on whatever the hell she said." The girl wore a strapless white dress that went to her scarred knees. Her dark red, almost auburn hair was in perfect curls, and her green eyes seemed to stare at the world with sorrow. There was no blood, no bones were showing, and other than her knees, there was no evidence of any type of anything. She looked like she was still the glass of the coffin was a note saying:

Careful!

If you open the coffin, touch anything inside, touch her, or gather evidence from the coffin or the girl, she won't be the only death you have to deal with. I'll give you a little hint. Her name is Scarlet Heat. She's an orphan, and no one could ever care about her. Have fun, Booth!

Kisses,

H.


Booth scanned the note with precision in awe. "Why is it for me? This makes no sense!" Booth looked at the girl as if it were his fault that she was dead. He gave the note to Cam and drove away in his black FBI car. He was obviously pissed off.

"I'll bet you $10 it's an ex of his, Angie." Hodgins laughed slightly but then remembered the girl. Angela looked as if she were going to cry. Zach Addy helped move the body to the lab and took samples of the surrounding items. As he was moving a bag of trash to the side, he noticed light reflecting off of something. He took an evidence bag and picked the object up with his gloved hands. It was a piece of jewelry. "Wow..." Was the first word he said that was "irrational." The gold ring had five small diamonds in it. On the inside were two small dots, meaning that it had been sized. On the inside, 'Scarlet' was engraved. He put it in the evidence bag hoping that it was significant.

"Brennan you can't pretend that this is a regular case! This is worse than Pelan-" Angela stopped speaking when she saw Bones's face.

"Nothing is worse than Pelant! This may be equal, but it's not worse!" Bones had the look of 'take that back right now'
