Prologue

DI Natalie Chandler House

Deli Street, Camden

London, England

DI Natalie Chandler was sitting in bed reading the latest book from Dr Temperance Brennan; 'Red Tape White Bones'. Just reading the book to get away from mess which her life has fallen into - the final conclusion to her husband's affair with a twenty-something year old bimbo had come that evening; he'd left her.

So after an hour of reading Natalie decided to let the sleep overcome her. She placed the book on her bedside table and turned out the light. Determined not to be found, she quickly made sure that the bedside phone remained unplugged, and that her mobile was switched off. Natalie Chandler was doing everything she could to shut the world out.

Dr Temperance Brennan's Office

Jeffersonian Institute, Washington, DC

District Of Columbia, USA

Dr Temperance 'Bones' Brennan was sitting in her office typing the latest report for the case that she and Booth had just shut. Then all of a sudden her Skype indicated that she had an incoming call coming from her half-brother Matt Devlin, and with out even thinking about it moved her mouse over the accept button.

"Hello my dear sis. How are you?" Matt asked.

"Matt," she said his name with a smile, "I am fine and well. So what's the reason for this impromptu call?" Temperance replied noticing that he was at work and still in the same clothes as last call which was yesterday morning/lunchtime.

Matt laughed and stated, "Can't I talk to my dear sister without a reason. Before you say anything I need to see and talk to a friendly face. Gov's for some reason has gone missing, not picking up her mobile or home phone, not like her at all, and left me and Ronnie to deal with the case of a missing baby from the Royal Freeman hospital."

Temperance could see the weariness in her brother's eyes; not quite as bright as usual. "Right go home get some food and sleep, it must be about 7pm your end. Then first thing tomorrow go round to her house with this Alesha who you have yet to introduce me to, and find out what's wrong. Just tell her that you're all there if she needs anybody."

Matt looked down to his desk, then back up to the camera. "Thanks Tempe. But I don't think I'll be much use. I'll ring George and voice my concerns. He won't let anything get past him and they're friends as well so it will make it easier." He grinned, "And I'll introduce you to Alesha the next time that I call you, I promise. Love you lots and stay safe and out of trouble."

Temperance then said "Love you too. Bye."

As Temperance ended the call, Booth's tall form appeared in the doorway, "Bones, come on, paper work can wait. We need food, we haven't eaten anything since this morning."
