AN: Okay, the way these chapters are done, is that we plan out the ideas together, then they are written down. Also, the story changes in POV from Bones to Booth.
Summary: In an alternate universe, she's a serial killer continuing the family business while he's a FBI agent who's hot on her heels. Though sometimes, it's more than his job that leads Booth on his search for Bones. B/B. AU.
The Chase
Chapter One
The sun was just peeking over the horizon, casting lone streaks along the gravel path as she slipped away, headed towards the closest 'safe house' where she could stay. Open air places, especially like the Washington Mall, were risky places for her to be spotted while on the job, but this one had been worth it.
This most recent 'employment' was a low status job; the sudden death and disappearance of a housewife, where usually she took on much harder cases – like the murder or disappearance of a high-ranking government official. But the price on this housewife's death had been high, and that tempted her greatly.
Her black sneakers carried her through the park's darkness as she sprinted from the scene, knowing that it was a bit useless for her to run anyways. She was never caught, just marked by the police and FBI as one of the nation's capital's top 'most wanted'. And why wouldn't she be? In the past year, a city judge, two senate officials and the chief of the DC police had been killed at her hands, and so far, the year was a productive one for her field of work.
Bones also knew that the FBI has pinned their top special agent, Seeley Booth, on her trail as fast as they could. And sometimes, she wondered how good this agent could be if he was always missing the quick glance of her, or the most obvious clues to her location.
But it wasn't so tonight, he had nearly spotted her – and Bones knew it.
She had spotted him across the river too, but had ignored him, knowing that either way, he wouldn't see her dash across the walk.

Bones left the door open a crack, and tossed her black jacket aside making her way to a dark corner of the room. She quickly changed out of her all black clothes and changed into something more fitting to go out to a bar for a drink. She had done her job, gotten her money wired to one of her many accounts, and was ready for a few drinks to celebrate a job well done on her part.
She decided to go with jeans, black heels, and a sexy red top. She really liked to tease the guys at the bars; they were easily tempted. She found alot of people who were willing to pay her for her business. A bar was the best place to go to learn a persons weakness, a drunk always had the loosest lips and sometimes the most useful information.
- the chase -
Bones made her way now from her "safe house" to her favorite bar in DC, The Hidden Stoop. It was DC's darkest and most seediest bar, exactly why it was her favorite. It was in the corner of DC, small but as of lately very useful. Some official interns had taken to going there after the working day was done to have a few drinks and let off some steam from their very stressful, very informational, jobs.
Bones walked into the bar and made her way to her usual spot, in the corner where she could see the door and people walking in. She knew what types of were more likely to drink the most and have things they wanted "put away" this was where she had managed to get her job that she did today!
"Hey Dani, the usual?" Bobby, the very tattooed and very pierced bartender called to her over the music and chatter.
"Yeah." Bones replied.
She was known as Dani here, she could make up a sob story on the fly at bars. She could make any cover story she wanted on the fly! She was "little Dani" here. She was good at reading and evading people so she could see who likes a sad, messed up, story, or a normal story. "Dani" was a little messed up waitress who was saving up to try and make her life right again after her ex took everything she owned and bailed on her. She threw in a little drugs as well and bam! She had Bobby.
After she had her drink in front of her she began to people watch, she did this all the time here, there was a young man in a wrinkled suit, a girl in a slutty outfit that was sure to scare any mother, and as her gaze crossed the door it opened up to show a man around her age. He walked right up to the bar and sat down on the open stool next to her. He had jeans, a white tee-shirt (that was snug in all the right places), and a black leather jacket on. He was definitely sexy, some one she could have a little fun with. He was in very good shape for her. He asked Bobby for a beer and did what she had previously done, people watch.
She couldn't help herself she had to see what was up with him, what his story was, he had an air around him that intrigued her.
"Hey."
AN: Any guesses who the handsome guy is? ;)
