"The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect."-Robert Louis Stevenson

Hodgins P.O.V.

Dr. Brennan and Booth arrive in different cars. Just like they had for most cases since we came back from the "'far flung corners of the globe'". Or even the last few before they left. Not one of us saw the van park down the street or, perhaps I should revise that statement none of us but the one who always knows everything involving the lab or those of us who work in it. She kept her eyes flashing to the edge of her peripheral vision, not often enough to notice at the time but, now, everything sticks out vividly like a movie playing on repeat in front of my eyes unending, always the same. The body it's self was relatively uninteresting

Male

John Doe

Caucasian

Late 30's to early 40's

Dead at least a week

Likely because of the bashed in skull. But you never know

Like a hundred or more other cases we had done before. After Brennan is done examining the bones she gets up and tells us she can't tell us anymore until it gets to the Jeffersonian. Cam looks like she is going to ask something but decides against it at the last moment I wonder what's up with her, she has been jumpy since we got here and, once Brennan got here she watched her closer then I've ever seen her watch her at any crime scene in the entire seven or so years she has worked with us. I shrug it off and try to ascertain time of death. Little do I know in less then two hours that will be the last thing on my mind. Brennan tells something to Booth and Cam she then walks to her car gets in and drives slowly away, probably to get to the Jeffersonian before the body. I'll tell her time of death there.

If only.

Brennan's P.O.V.

I tell Booth and Cam that I'm going to head back to the Jeffersonian. A blatant lie but, they don't have to know that, I keep telling myself. As I drive off I let my eyes flicker back to them and, I see the dark van following me as I leave. I've seen the same vehicle and the people inside it following not just me but, all of us. I've seen them act in the same way, many of the killers we caught, moving swiftly with purpose and, they have bulges in their coat pocket with their hand always ready to grab the bulge it doesn't take someone with my IQ to figure out what what their most likely up to.

So let's see what they do when they have the chance without anyone else to notice.

I told Booth I was going to the Jeffersonian I didn't say how I was going to get there. The only lie I may have told them was when I said "see you later" before I left.

I'm jerked from my thoughts as I hear a sound I know from my time ID-ing bodies in war zones gun fire and the bullets piercing my car I feel one hit my leg then another hit my chest both of which hurt a great deal not surprisingly however, as it was not my first time getting shot I was able to keep the majority of my brain focused on driving so my car didn't run anyone over. I kept my dominant right hand on the wheel and, my left trying fruitlessly to to stop the blood from leaving my body from the bullet hole. I see them start to speed up to get right up beside me and, he rams he car into mine once, twice, three times, before I can't get anymore traction to swerve and, my car flips off of the road and ends up upside down.

As it flips I feel my head hit the steering wheel quite hard making staying awake, an already difficult feat, almost impossible and, when the airbags go off it puts great force on my ribs and head it becomes even more so. I fight passing out. As I'm in and out of consciousness I hear tires squealing and driving away. then nothing, then footsteps and people yelling I pick out one voice calling emergency services. I hope everyone else is ok is my last thought before I give in to the blackness. My body is left limp dangling with just the seat belt holding it in place.

That's it for now

see you later
