"Kate?" Castle says to Beckett as her smile drops and she slowly falls making a loud clatter as she knocks over a table of equipment.
"Kate!" Castle shouts as he catches the de-faced detective.
"Yo, Beckett!" Esposito yells as he spins around hearing the clatter of the fallen table.
"Beckett!" Ryan yells running with Booth and Esposito towards Kate.
Arriving next to Beckett and Castle they ask..
"What's wrong?" Esposito says to Lanie who is standing staring at her distorted friend.
"The victim. It's Demming" Lanie replys looking at the three men standing there completely puzzled.
"I'm sorry this may not be the best time but who's 'Demming' ?" Booth whispers to Ryan
"Beckett and him were together a year ago" Ryan whispers back.
"Oh.. I'm sorry for your loss" Booth says to Beckett as he puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"Thanks, Booth" Kate says sniffling
"So.. what do we do now?" Castle asks reluctantly while he tries to comfort Kate by making soft, slow circles on the small of her back.
"We work to catch the murderer" Lanie says back
Castle nods his head.
"I'll call Bones she's un-packing at her apartment" Booth says waving his phone gently
"I'll call Montgomery at the Precinct" Beckett says quietly slowly looking up.
Booth rings Brennan
"Brennan"
"Hiya, Bones, we have an ID"
"Great who is it"
"Tom Demming, he worked with the detectives"
"How old was he?"
"36, from New York and he had a fractured tibia from a break when he was 8."
"That sounds consistent. Tell Cam to check dental's"
"Yes, I will but be nice when you get back."
"Why?"
"Beckett and Tom had a past."
"Oh. Okay, I'll come over in 10 minutes"
"We're headed to my office"
"I'll meet you there, Bye"
"Bye Bones"
Booth hangs up the phone
"Okay, guys Bones is going to meet us at my office"
Beckett comes back from talking to Montgomery
"Hey, how are you?" Booth asks Beckett
"I'm fine." She says as she looks up to see Castle casting a reassuring look her way.
"Mmm… Okay guys we need to get going." Booth says reluctantly.
"Okay, come on Kate" Castle whispers softly making slow circles with his middle finger on the small of her back.
"Okay.." Beckett mutters under her breath.
-In Booth's Car-
"Shotgun! Again!" Castle yells for the second time.
-Beckett and Booth in the front-
"I called shotgun! Again." Castle mumbles. While all the others giggle.
"Laugh all you want I will get to sit in the front!" Castle shouts. "Someday"
-At the FBI Building-
"Hey Booth" Brennan says as she waves to him.
"Hiya, Bones" Booth replies.
"You're doing well for someone who had a sexual relationship with the victim. Most people just cry, and tell us to find out who did it" Brennan mutters to Beckett.
"Yeah well, it's just like any other case." Beckett replies hurridly. While Booth glares at Brennan and Castle is upset for Beckett.
"Shall we go to my office?" Booth asks.
"Yea!" Castle shouts.
-At Booth's office-
"Oh my god! You're a baseball fan?" Beckett asks excitedly staring at his baseball signed by Joe Torre.
"Well, uh.. yea" he stammers.
"Oh my god!" this ball was signed by Joe Freaking Torre!"
"Yea it was 1998"
"I gotta call my Dad!" Beckett shouts leaving the room before anyone else could get a word in.
"Well that was odd." Brennan stammers.
"Ha.. Who knew she was a baseball fan?" Ryan asks.
"Me!" Esposito and Castle shout raising their arms immediately.
"Oh" Ryan mutters looking down in embarrassment.
-Beep!Beep!Beep!-
"Oh that's my computer." Booth whispers as he sits down to answer the video call.
"Hey, Booth it's Cam."
"Hi, Cam"
"The dental's just came back the body is Tom Demming." Cam replies just as Beckett comes back with a smile on her face now turning into tears.
"Oh, Okay Cam, Thanks"
"Your Welcome, Oh and Bo-" Cam shouts trying to get Booth's attention just before he closes the chat.
"Are you Okay?" Booth asks Beckett sweetly, looking into her watery eyes.
"I'm fine" She answers as she wipes her eyes with her sleeve, and snuffles.
"Now you're reacting normally." Brennan says un-sympathetically.
"Bones!" Booth mutters sharply, as he glares at her.
"Sorry" she answers.
-Beep!Beep!Beep!-
Booth gets up to check his computer.
"Cam! I'm kind of busy right no-, Oh Angela" Booth says when he see's Angela's face.
"Whoa.. you're fired up. What's wrong someone touch your Bobbing Bobby Policeman again?"
"No. No one has" Booth answers as he see's the detectives laughing to themselves.
"Angela what do you want?" Booth asks.
"I just wanted to say hello to that Detective guy again.. Esposito?"
"Uh.. mmhmm.. Yea?" Esposito stammers, as he slowly makes his way to Booth's computer.
"Okay, that's enough, Bye Ange" Booth says hurridly while closing the chat again.
-Beep!Beep!Beep!-
"Again!" Booth shouts at the computer.
"Hi, Booth"
"Oh, Hi Cam. What now?"
"Another body has been found." Staged like all the others 13 miles from the left of the FBI Building."
"Okay. See you there." Booth answers hurridly.
"Another body has been found." Booth says to the other Detectives and Castle.
"Murder? Hold on I'll get my coat." Castle says running over to the chair wear his coat is.
-At the Crime Scene-
"Someone wanted to get rid of this one quickly."
"How can you tell Beckett asks"
"Well they lit her on fire at the head and feet, not just feet like the others"
"How do you know it's a female?"
"Well I don't, I just-"
"However you are correct elasticity in the tibia indicates, female, early 30's. Eye orbits and Jaw line indicates, African American."
"I'll call Lanie."
"Why?" Brennan asks Beckett looking up from the remains for just a moment.
"To ask her to come down."
-Beckett walks a few metres away from the yellow tape to call Lanie-
"I'm going to call Zach and Hodgins to see what they found at the other murder sites in New York, I haven't heard from them since they got on the plane yesterday."
"Okay"
-Brennan leaves to call Hodgins just as Beckett returns-
"Lanie isn't answering"
"Okay well. We will take it back to the lab and have Cam run DNA" Booth answers.
"Okay" Beckett nods.
"Zach and Hodgins are at the Jeffersonian, they said that they found the same bugs and 4 stroke engine oil, at all the sites in New York and they need to check the sites her, in D.C."
"Okay well we're on our way back to the Jeffersonian" Booth tells Brennan.
-At the Jeffersonian-
-They all meet Cam on the Forensic Platform with the remains.-
"I haven't got anything from the body yet." Cam says.
"Well that would be rather impossible anyway because we got here seconds after the uniforms." Brennan answers.
"Can I extract DNA?" Cam asks preparing to collect some samples.
"Yes" Brennan replies.
-Cam collects what she needs and moves to her office. And everyone follows Brennan, Zach and Hodgins back to her office-
"So what did you find?" Brennan asks Hodgins and Zach while the others wander around her office.
"A rare bug found solely in Afghanistan. And gasoline, it appear the killer used an accelerant"
"You better go and check the other sites here in D.C." Brennan says still trying to make sense of everything."
"Okay" Hodgins says as he jumps off his seat and drags Zach out of the office.
"We've got a DNA match" Cam says poking her head around Brennan's Office door.
"Great" Booth mutters.
"Not Really." Brennan replies looking at her computer screen as the DNA File pops up.
"Who is it?" Beckett says as she rushes over to Brennan computer.
"Holy Shit!" Beckett stammers as she barely holds herself up right.
"Who is it?" Ryan asks as he can't squeeze past the others.
"Bro" Esposito mumbles. "It's Lanie."
