"The remains were found in a basement. There were maggots everywhere." Booth said as they approached the crime scene. They dug under the tape and Brennan walked up to the body.

"I'm going to send these maggots to Hodgins, it's weird that they are still here after decomposing." Brennan remarked whilst she took out and evidence bag and put some of the maggots in.

"This is a Caucasian female from 25-31 years old. Cause of death can't be determined yet but there are four ribs missing. I'm guessing that were the ones that had the most damage on it. The right ulna is broken which shows she struggled. There's a lot of damage on the cranium so I don't know if Angela can put a face to her. Lets get her to the museum and find out."

Brennan rose from the floor and handed the evidence bags with the soil and maggots to Booth who placed them in a folder. They walked back to Booth's SUV and started there ride back to the Jeffersonian.

Booth pulled into a parking space at the Jeffersonian and they both got out.

"I hope we catch who did this soon." Brennan said as they walked up to the doors.

Booth saw a teenager sitting on a bench in fron't of the entry and wondered what she was doing at a forensic lab. When the girl spotted she rose from the bench.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something?" she asked.

"Sure, ask away." Booth said.

"Actually I was talking to her. Is your name Temperance Brennan?"

Brennan looked at her with her brow furrowed. "Yeah, why?"

The girl stuck out her hand, "My name is Abby Coulter, I think I'm your little sister."
