Chapter 2:

Fun and Games

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

November 4, 2011 (11:00pm)

It was late into the night in Washington DC under the dark tunnels below lived a masked madman who remained nameless and unseen. He was preparing to leave his secluded home and go above to the city of Washington DC to seek his vengeance on the people that made him and the people he loved suffer.

Above the city at the Jeffersonian, Dr. Temperance Brennan had yet again lost track of time. She was finishing her paperwork from the latest case that she and her partner Special Agent Seeley Booth were working on. As she was just about to close up she heard noises coming from the lab, like someone had broken in. She walked over to her office door and looked around but saw no sight of anyone. Then it was quiet again until Temperance was nearly scared to death by the phone ringing. She walked over and picked it up.

"Hello"

"Temperance" her partner answered.

"Booth."

"Temperance, where the hell are you?" Booth yelled

"Still in the office, why?"

"Do you have any idea, What time is it?"

Brennan hadn't even been keeping track of time, until she looked at the clock to see that it was 11:00pm she'd passed curfew, she yelled, "Damn it, I completely lost track of time."

"Do you want me to come get you? I mean, since you'd be with me they might let it slide."

"Booth, I'm perfectly capable of handling myself, just because I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean I need special treatment."

"Well as your boyfriend, I may ask that instead of walking home, why don't you walk to my place and stay over here."

"Booth I don't think so, we'll get in trouble."

Booth laughed, "I don't care if we get in trouble, I need to see you, I miss you."

"I miss you too, Alright I'm on my way."

"Alright, I love you Temperance"

"I love you too Seeley." then she hung up the phone and left her office.

While walking the quiet streets of Washington Brennan thought about her relationship with Booth, she hated that they had to keep it secret, but they had to since the rules forbid men/women partners having personal relationships ever since the communist government took over Washington and the rest of the country, but Brennan and Booth didn't care about the rules. Brennan was hoping that she would make it to Booth's place and not be caught by what people called Karma police, the police that watched the people who broke the government's rules, so to make sure she would not get caught, she walked down an alleyway that skipped straight to Booth's apartment, looking behind her constantly, having the strange and scary feeling that she was being followed, then she bumped into a stranger in front of her, and she ended up on the ground. The man held out his hand as he helped her put up.

"Sorry miss."

Brennan fixed herself up, "No, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention."

"I can see that, do you have the time miss?" The man said

Brennan looked at her watch to see it was 11:15pm then she looked at the man and told him,

"It's 11:15pm, now if you'll excuse me I have to be getting home." Brennan was about to go past the man but the man wouldn't let her pass, Brennan was scared which showed in her nervous voice, "Can you please let me past."

"I'm sorry miss, but I can't let you." The man told her,

"Well then, I'll go around the other way." Brennan replied, as she turned to head the direction she went before but as she turned another man stopped her.

"Where do you think you're going miss?"

Brennan was scared knowing what was about to happen to her, she pleaded, "Please, let me pass through, please."

The men laughed as one of them said, "Aww, well you should have thought of that before you broke your curfew. Now you are coming with us."

One of them grabbed her, Brennan was not liking this she decided she'd had enough and yelled, "No!"

Brennan pulled her arm from the man and kicked him in the stomach as he fell to the ground the man behind grabbed her trying to hold her tight, Brennan was screaming for help as the man began dragging her to another alleyway. Then the other man got back up and he followed the other man and Brennan to a secluded spot that lead to two different paths. The man holding Brennan turned her to face the wall and began to put hand cuffs on her, until the other man spoke.

"Hold on, let's have some fun and games with this one"

The other man smirked as he agreed he turned Brennan around, Brennan was crying and screaming, pleaded with them to let her go, then the man holding her pulled out a pocket knife he held it up against her throat as he asked the other man,

"What should we do with her?"

Then another mysterious voice said, "Let her go."

The men turned to see only a dark figure behind them deep within the ally, Brennan was thanking god that this was her chance to escape as Both men were distracted. Brennan grabbed the man holding her and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine, the other man was running towards Brennan with a knife as well, but the mysterious, dark figure pushed Brennan out of the way and slit the man's throat. The other man, feeling the pain in his manhood ran away in fear of a death like his fellow man. Brennan had got the wind knocked out of her, she sat up as she held the back of her head, she opened her eyes to see the man who saved her, his back was facing towards her. She needed to know who this man was who had saved her, Brennan would have to ask.

"Who are you?"
