Chapter 2 -- A sick day in both cases.
A new case has been opened for Booth and Dr. Brennan. They've both been very calm and settle, ever since that awkward moment at Therapy. Although it happened, they both have hidden it deep with in their minds, as if it never did. This situation actually has helped them to talk more to each other again. Maybe it was because they both new they shared the same feelings or maybe they thought we should act normal so no one else would realize, but who knows other than Booth and Brennan.
"What do we have here?" Booth asked, the agent in charge of the crime scene. They were walking in the woods, from hearing of two hikers finding body remains.
"Two bodies, one male, the other." The man suddenly paused. Both Brennan and Booth looked at the agent who seemed confused in a shocked way.
"The other?" Booth asked impatient.
"Maybe you should have a look." The agent pointed down towards the ground. They found skin of a man and Bones aside from him, each laying next to each other.
"What the--" Booth said. Brennan looked at him shocked also.
"Female, later twenties early thirties." Brennan said examining the bones.
"So these aren't one of the same body?" Booth said just making it clear.
"No defiantly not." Brennan replied.
"Wow, yeah that's sick." Booth mumbled to himself.
"It looks like they're holding hands." Brennan said seeing that the male skin is slightly wrapped around the skeleton's hand. Booth noticed something on the ground and began to back up to look around.
"Bones!" He shouted. Brennan came over to find two shadowy circles around the bodies.
"How did we miss that?"
"It's kind of romantic." Angela said, smiling over the case. Hodgin's and Brennan looked at her disturbed. "What!? I mean without the whole inner, outer parts missing. Them holding hands, it's kind of romantic."
"I've got it!" Booth shouted running up, after slicing his card. "One Henry Thompson, and Eliza Storm. Both missing since Halloween." He said walking over to the three with a file.
"That was two weeks ago." Angela said confused.
"Booth that's wrong. They're bodies indicate that they've been dead for." Brennan was saying.
"A year?" Booth replied.
"Yes."
"Yeah, they've been missing since Halloween of last year." Booth finished saying. "What are you doing?" He asked noticing the grouse maggots that Hodgins seemed to be working with.
"Cam brought these over to me. Allot of these little guy's were inside the dude's skin." Hodgins said smiling. Booth got up looking a little woozy.
"I found out victim two's cause of death." Zach said coming up the stairs to join the group. "It seems she was shot in the head."
"That's what killed her!?" Hodgins asked.
"Not exactly." Zach replied. "She was then hung, until she was short of breath."
"So you're saying she was tortured." Booth mentioned.
"Extremely tortured." He replied.
"What killed her?" Booth asked, getting impatient.
"Lack of oxygen, she was possibly buried alive." He finished saying, leaving everyone with a disturbed look on their faces.
"So you're saying this girl was brutally attacked, tortured and buried alive. I would think that was all torture." Angela said.
"I'm not sure if the murderer knew she was still alive when he buried her." He brought up. "It seems she was paralyzed after the hanging."
"Oh God." Booth said really feeling woozy now.
"Imagine what the first victim went through." Hodgins said.
"Booth are you feeling ok?" Brennan asked noticing he's becoming pale.
"Yeah." Booth said sitting down.
"Booth you have a fever." Brennan said after feeling his head.
"He looked fine when he came in." Angela mentioned.
"Come on, I'm taking you to the doctor." Brennan said helping Booth up.
