Part 4

"Ms. Brennan I am afraid you are not going to be telling anyone anything!" the man exclaimed.

He grabbed her neck as she tried to edge away.

"Let me go!" she stammered.

"Not quite yet!" he sneered as he dragged her closer to the edge of the embankment. The scene of the crime loomed further and further away and there was nothing she could do to stop the inevitable.

She was ready to call out for help when suddenly they had reached the end. Her feet dangled on the cliff and down below could be her end. He gave her a sudden shove and she went tumbling down, it was then she screamed out," Booth!"

She awakened all of a sudden from her dazed state of mind. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Their cab had arrived at the hotel. She turned to see Booth beside her.

"Are you ok Bones?" he inquired.

She nodded solemnly. She sighed and stepped out of the cab as Booth handed over the fare. He took his place next to her and grabbed her hand. He gave it an assuring squeeze and they headed upstairs together.

They would meet Pritchard at the site where they found the body three days before. Temperance was needed to identify if the missing bone fragments could lead to their murder weapon.

The victims were two young recent college graduates. One had graduated from Oxford and the other had attended NYU. How they ended up as piles of bones below a scenic trail that ended with a cliff was the mystery.

The site was an hour out of town. They had three hours of good daylight before it grew too dark. As Cate and Booth made their way through the brush and glanced around, Temperance walked slower and examined the surroundings she looked up to see the cliff. There was about ten feet of a landing if that was the cliff she fell from. However she would have to get up there to get a better look. She strayed from the path the others were on walked closer to the area below the cliff. She spotted a mount of grass flattened as if someone had landed there. Beside it was odd shaped rock that could have been used to murder the weapons.

Question was: How did it get here?
