The Boy in my Mind
The Boy in my Mind.
The little boy ran away from his baby sitter and past the caraseoul, it was early, and the man who ran it wasn't here yet. Nobody was here and his eyes lit up in delight as he realised that he was the only one here, everything was his to play with.
He ran to the fence that led to the play equipment as Rose shouted from behind him, "Don't go running off Parker! Wait for me!" She yelled, the last time that they had been here Mister Booth had ran up to her looking desperately for his son and while Rose had been assured that it was now indeed safe for her to be here, Mister Booth even came with her one day to prove this to her, she still felt nervous about this park, knowing that there had been someone out there that could have hurt her, or Parker.
Parker didn't listen to her as he swung the heavy metal gate open and slipped inside, he didn't understand her concern, after all this was his park, his Daddy had made sure that it was safe for him and he knew that he could trust his Daddy, people looked up to him and listened to him, he got to work with a pretty lady and had a big office all to him self.
He made he way past the bushes and trees that surrounded the inside of the play area and ran excitedly to the swings, when he stopped, staring ahead of him unable to move, the only thing moving was his light blonde hair that was ruffled by the wind.
Rose ran up behind him and panted heavily, "Parker…I…told you not to run of." She noticed that the little boy was staring straight ahead of him and when she followed his line of sight she screamed, grabbing the small boy up in her arms as she ran out of the park, fishing out her cell phone as she ran, trying to block out the image of the body and even though they were empty, the eye sockets seemed to stare after them as its fixed scream seemed to laugh at them as it was chained to the slowly rocking swing.

Doctor Temperance Brennan sat at her office desk, fingers poised over the keys of her lap top, ready to start writing the beginning of her third book. The cup of coffee next to her was thanks to Angela, and Brennan found her self thinking that here, in her office was where she was most at home. She had probably spent more nights on the couch in her office rather than her own bed.
She picked up the cup by the handle and went to take a sip of the hot liquid when Booth knocked on the door as he was entering and flung a file down in front of her, "Come on Bones, we got a case."
"You could knock and wait for an answer Booth, I nearly spilt my coffee." She huffed, putting the cup down in case he decided to do something else that could result in injury to her self.
"Please just read the file Bones," he said, pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger, she stared briefly, enjoyed the cute confused expression on his face and brushed the thought aside quickly as she flicked through the file.
"Human remains found in a playground, male, but without looking at the actual bones hard to say age range, I'd say some kind of accelerant was used but again with out looking at them in the lab it's hard to say what type." She handed the file back to Booth ready to get back to writing her novel, when he didn't take it out of her hand she looked at him and found that his usual warm brown eyes were hard and angry.
"I had our FBI forensics bring the body to you." This got her interested and she shot up out of her chair, grabbing her lab coat,
"Why did you do that? You know in a case I need to have Zack take pictures of the preliminary and surrounding areas, and to look at the remains as they were found." Booth coughed, while he didn't usually mind her telling him of, he needed her to listen.
"Bones, it was the park that Parker goes to." That seemed to stop her mid sentence as she guessed what it was that was bothering him,
"Booth," she said softly, closing the gap between them as they had done to each other numerous times, "Parker found the remains." She said, it wasn't a question, she already knew, she knew Booth better than he knew him self half the time and the fact that she did both scared him and exhilarated him.
He nodded, concentrating on his tie, he couldn't look at her, and he could still hear the fear in his little boy's voice, "Yeah he found them when he was out with his baby sitter, at that damned park." He growled, and Bones laid a hand on his arm and squeezed it gently. She had learnt a lot from Booth, how even a gentle touch could be all that was needed, or had she learnt that from Angela?
At that moment Zack knocked on the door, obviously unaware that he was interrupting something, "Doctor Brennan, forensics just delivered some remains." She looked up quickly acknowledging Zack,
"Gather everyone Zack, I'll be down in a moment." Zack nodded and left just as quickly as he arrived.
Bones turned to Booth, "We'll find who ever did this Booth, don't worry."
Booth smiled that smile of his, "I know we will Bones, me and you is good maths."
"I'm not even going to begin to correct you on your grammar Booth, which was just plain awful."
Swiping her card through the sensors and hoping up the stairs she went up the cold display table and looked at the initial remains, "Findings Doctor Addey?" She asked as the others watched her eagerly.
Zack coughed, "Male age range is five to ten years of age, broken bones consistent with some kind of trauma, but I'll need to have a closer look at them once Hodgins has finished searching for insect activity." Hodgins saw that was his cue to step up to the table, blue eyes flashed with excitement as he saw the insect activity in front of him,
"I want to know what this substance is that's coating the skin as well." Bones said, fully aware that Booth and Angela were hanging back, she wanted to say something to Booth, wanted to reassure him, and she couldn't understand why she wanted to, and the thought confused her.
"Doctor Brennan?" She snapped out of her daze and looked at Hodgins who raised an eyebrow in her direction, "I said I've taken my samples, Zack can have the bones now and clean them if he wants."
"I want to," Zack said, almost too excitedly.
"Okay I want the results when you get them." She took off her latex gloves and walked up to Angela, "When Zack has applied tissue marker I want you to see if you can get an ID from the victim." Her friends face was pinched together, and her eyes looked troubled,
"Bones," Booth whispered, but Angela waved her hand, making her many bangles clang together,
"It's okay, I'll try, it's just, this one is so young sweetie," Brennan sighed, she knew that Angela would always see each individual victim, just like she does, but she would never separate themselves from their lives, and she knew the younger they were, the more it hurt.
She looked at Booth, and saw the same look in his eyes, why did she just want to hug him? To hold him close? She shook her head, "I know Ange, but he needs you now." She said knowing that would get her to work better.
Angela nodded, "You're right, besides I'll have jack keep me company." She walked away from them and Booth sighed,
"While were waiting for results," he trailed of, and Bones nodded,
"You need to talk to Parker." She said, walking him to the front door and stopped,
"No Bones, we need to talk to Parker."
"You want me to be there?" She asked, touched, but not wanting to show it. He leaned in close to her ear, and he could practically smell the perfume and he felt intoxicated, Bones always managed to have that affect on him, and he needed her more than ever to help him now.
"I need you to be there with me Bones," he whispered slowly, as though it was a secret, and she nodded as they left the lab.
Their minds were focused on the task ahead of them, but a part of them were focused on their own secrets and desires.
