DISCLAIMER: Don't own bones, only dvds
Bones and Booth walked into the Jeffersonian together and Angela looked down at them from up on the platform, "What took you so long?" she called.
She caught Booth's annoyed glare and smiled, "Did I interrupt something."
"Yeah," Booth replied as he and Bones walked up the stairs.
"Sorry," Angela said defensively.
"Ignore him," Bones told her friend, "What's the emergency."
Angela directed the two into her office and pointed to the pictures of the desk.
"Whoa," Booth stepped back.
"Who took these Ange?" Bones asked.
Angela shrugged, "We got them in the mail."
"Do you know when they were taken?"
"Zach and Hodgins reckon at least in the last week, don't ask me why, they gave a very long speech on sun direction and," she turned to Booth, "I think the real issue is finding all these… bones."
Booth nodded in agreement, "We can't start tonight though, It's to late."
"Zach and Hodgins have any idea where this may be?" Bones asked Angela.
She shook her head, "The sand colour might help though," she tapped her finger on a picture, "It's white."
Bones nodded and picked up a picture, "I'm not sure if sand colour is really gonna help us…"
Booth snatched the picture of her hands and squinted to look at it, "I know where this is," he told them.
"How could you?" Bones asked.
"Seriously," Booth wasn't joking, "I took Parker fishing once and I remembered this spot I used to go to when I was younger so I took him there, it was all sand for miles and the place was deserted, rocks surround it as a cliff-face, it's really dangerous trying to get in unless you know about this cave, if whoever put these bodies here found the cave and wandered in they'd discover the perfect burial ground."
"What makes you so sure it's the same place?" Angela asked.
"The cliff behind this photo," he said pointing to the only photo that wasn't just bones and sand and bones but had a rock cliff face behind it.
"Are you sure?" Angela asked.
"Who cares," Bones sighed, "We may as well check it out."
"What now?" Angela asked, disturbed by Bones' sudden carelessness.
"Yep," Bones nodded, "You coming Booth?" she asked walking out of the room.
He gave Angela an apologetic look and ran after his partner.
"I'll drive," he told Bones.
She shrugged, "You know where we're going, make sure you grab some flashlights," she reminded him.
"Got some in the boot," he replied.

Booth drove his SUV into miles of bushland until reaching a halt near a cliff.
"This is nowhere," Bones complained, "Imagine wandering out here and getting mugged, no-one would hear you scream."
"Guess you're lucky I'm here," Booth smiled, popping the boot and jumping out of the car, "I'll hear you scream."
Bones gave a weak smile and nodded, "You felt safe brining Parker out here?"
Booth nodded, "I didn't know it was a soon to be burial ground."
"We don't know if you're right yet," Bones pointed out.
Booth smiled, "We don't," he agreed.
He handed a flashlight to Bones and shut the boot, he put one in his back pocket and flashed on another, walking towards the cliff, Bones stayed next to the car.
Booth rolled his eyes when he saw she wasn't following, "Are you scared Bones."
"No," she scoffed.
Booth put his hands on his hips.
"If you're right this place is suffocated with hundreds of dead bodies, that is a little freaky."
Booth walked back and grabbed her hand, "Don't let go," he warned.
He led her towards the cliff and they reached a small path near the cliff face, they walked down and for about five minutes they kept walking along the path, they soon reached a spot where a big boulder.
"That's covering the cave entrance," Booth told her.
Bones nodded, "So how do we get in?"
"We move the rock."
"By ourselves?"
Booth flexed his muscles, "I think we'll manage."
When he dropped her hand Bones had realized she forgotten he even had hold of it, Booth put his back on the boulder and starting punching on, it didn't move.
"You're so strong," Bones said sarcastically.
"You could assist me," he pointed out.
Bones rolled her eyes and they both stood facing the side of the rock, their hands placed on it, they looked t each other and started pushing, without result.
"We need help," Bones complained.
"It wasn't my plan to come out here in the middle of the night without resources," Booth objected.
Bones crossed her arms, "You could have stopped me."
"No one can stop you, no wonder you need a shrink."
Bones stepped back, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me, when you decide on something there's no going back no matter how crazy the idea is."
"I think you're talking about yourself there Mr. I'm so strong, I could be superman…"
"That was a suggestion for a costume," Booth said louder then he needed too.
"What is your problem?"
"Excuse me, you started it!"
"I started it," Bones got in his face, "Do you know how juvenile that sounds."
"Maybe your shrink was right, maybe we do need counselling, I can vent my problems, he'll see you dismiss them and find the problem in our relationship."
"I am not the problem in this relationship," Bones stepped away from Booth when they heard some branches snapping, being stepped on nearby.
Bones was suddenly in Booth's arms and they argument was over.
"Did you hear that?" she looked up at him as he tightened his grip around her waist.
Booth nodded, "Yeah."
"Do you think it's the killer?" Bones turned around so her face was in his chest, "So you think he has another body?"
"Shhh," Booth warned, flicking his light off.
"Why'd you do that?" Bones whispered.
"So the light doesn't attract whoever that is," Booth whispered, obviously.
Bones nodded and the two stood still in silence until they heard another twig snap, Booth let Bones go and bent down, pulling his pant leg up and grabbing his gun, he pushed Bones behind him and held his gun in front of him, ready for whoever was coming.
A torch light suddenly gave light to the left of the two. The ducked down to the right side of the boulder, both breathing heavily.
"Look," a deep man's voice said.
"What?" another asked.
"A torch," the first said pointing at the ground, Booth felt his back pocket and silently cursed himself.
The second picked the torch up, "Property of the FBI," he told the first.
"What was the FBI doing here?" the first asked.
"What do you think," the second said getting annoyed.
"They might still be here," the first said looking around.
The second shook his head, "Don't worry…"
"We'll come back tomorrow," the first begged.
"Alright, fine," the second followed him away and as they walked Booth and Bones heard more twigs and branched snap.
When they were sure the two men were out of sight Booth and Bones stood back up, "That was close," Bones said, obviously scared.
Booth nodded in agreement, "But if they were coming here they must have a way to move this rock. We'll come back tomorrow," Booth told her, "It'll be safer."
"They're coming tomorrow too," Bones pointed out.
"There's no point staying now, we need more people and something to move this rock."
Bones nodded, "Okay."
Booth led the way back to his car and he drove back to her house, "It's been an eventful evening," he laughed.
"Yeah, six hours ago we were leaving her for a dinner party and since then we've came back had dinner, started an investigation on a new case, I'd have to say I agree," Bones smiled, they held a gaze for a moment before she broke it, "You want to come in."
Booth looked at his watch, it was twelve o'clock, "It's getting late, I'll see you tomorrow."
Bones nodded.
"Want me to walk you to your door?" Booth asked.
"I'll be okay," she smiled, hopping out of the SUV.
She started walking towards her door when Booth called out, "Hey." Bones turned around, "What I said before, that you obviously need a shrink, I didn't mean that."
Bones nodded, "I know."
