The Man From The Past.
Temperance looked up and saw her team staring back at her.
"What?" Brennan was confused.
"Are you OK sweetie?" Angela looked worried.
"Yes." "But your late?" Zack put in.
It was true she was never late.
"Well i had other things to do and this is Zack's case." Brennan looked uncomfortable.
The team gave each other looks.
"To be honest it's none our business so lets get back to work." Cam said.
Brennan looked up and gave Cam a thankful look, Cam nodded.
"So give us the run through Zackaroni."
"Run through?"
"Information about the body Zack."
"Oh." "The body is female, African American, several stab wounds to the chest and stomach and a single gunshot wound to the temporal lobe." "Looks like the radius is also fractured." Brennan added.
"I didn't notice that." Zack looked shocked "Defensive?" Cam asked "Yes it looks like it was smashed into a wall."
"OK Zackaroni i want you clean the bones, Hodgepodge i want you to take samples of the casings left on the clothing and then Ange you can make me a face."
They nodded and walked away.
Dr Brennan was at her computer when Booth walked into her office.
"Hey Bones where is Zack?" Booth asked.
"Why? oh right." Booth was helping Zack with the case.
"He is cleaning the bones of all flesh." Brennan said without looking up from her computer.
Booth frowned. "Is something up Bones?"
"I don't know what that means Booth." Brennan frowned at her computer screen.
"Is something wrong?"
"No I'm just trying to get my inspiration skills going."
"Writing another book?"
"Obviously." Brennan said a smile playing on her lips.
"Hey why were you late this morning?" Booth asked.
"Why does everyone care about my personal life?" Brennan looked up from her computer screen.
Booth shrugged.
"If you must know i went to visit my father."
Booth nodded. "How is he doing?"
Brennan sighed and looked up at Booth.
"What?" Booth was worried.
"I will explain later." Brennan said.

Earlier that morning...
Temperance arrives at her father's house and knocks on the door.
"Dad it's me Temperance." Brennan says There is no answer. Brennan starts to get worried.
"I'm over here Tempe." Brennan walks round the back.
"I Just thought i would come by to see how you were." She says leaning on the brick wall.
"I'm fine i have a job now." Max said.
There was a crash inside. Max and Temperance look through the back door.
"Stay here." Max said crouching down.
Max went was more crashing and then silence.
"Dad." Temperance said. There was no reply.
Temperance walked up the stairs to the open back door.
"Dad." She said a bit louder. Still no reply.
There was a shuffle of footsteps as someone ran out the front door.
"Dad!" She ran into the lounge room and found her father sprawled on the ground, blood seeping from his head.
"Dad can you hear me?" She said grasping his shoulders.
He let out a groan and tried to sit up.
"Dad who was that?" He let out another groan and said "Someone from the old gang."
Temperance looked at the gash in his head. "It's not to deep but you should go get it check out by a doctor."
Max touched his head. "Nah i should be right."
"We have to catch this guy Dad."
"I know I know." Max sighed.
Temperance looked at her watch...she was now late for work. "Honey I know you don't like being late go i will be fine." Max said getting an old tea towel and bought it gently to his forehead.
"Bye Dad and try not to touch anything." Brennan felt bad leaving her father but knew that her team would be worried.
(BREAK)
Temperance was doing some paper work when Booth walked in.
"Diner now Bones." Booth said sternly.
She put down the work and followed Booth out the door.
(BREAK)
At the dinner....
"What happened this morning?" Booth said after they ordered.
"My father was assaulted." Brennan said.
"Oh my God and you didn't tell me before." Booth was getting pissed.
"I'm sorry Booth."
There was an awkward silence when they were eating.
"OK we are going to see your Dad." Booth said getting up.
