Gravedigger – Dave Matthews Band

This is set after Brennan and Hodgins were taken by the gravedigger but Booth was never taken by the gravedigger and he hasn't been caught yet. I do not own Bones or any of the lyrics in this story. The lyrics are from the song Gravedigger by Dave Matthews Band. Enjoy!

It's been exactly one year since Brennan and Hodgins were buried alive in the car and it has been exactly one year since Booth pulled them out alive. Together Booth and Brennan walk through the cemetery where all of the victims of the Gravedigger rest.

They walk up the tiny grass hill as the gray clouds start to roll in. Looking down at the headstone they both read Cyrus Jones.

"Victim number one" Brennan says in a whisper.

"I had a chance to talk to his daughter and grandkids. It is something that I will never forget."

"Why?" Brennan asked.

"His two grandkids, Mike and Josh were telling me about their grandfather, and how he told them that you could live until you were 103. His daughter said they believed every word their grandpa said" Booth answered.

"He never made it that long" Brennan said as she looked into Booth's eyes.

"Yeah, but 103 is forever when you're just a little kid. So to them Cyrus Jones lived forever."

They both took one more look at his headstone then started to walk towards the next.

When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

"Muriel Stonewall" Brennan read out loud.

Booth just stared down. Brennan remembered that this one was hard on him because of the life that she lived. She was just about to ask him if he was okay when he said "She lost both of her kids in the Iraq war."

Booth turned and looked right into Brennan's blue eyes. Brennan watched as his eyes filled with tears.

"You should never have to watch your own children lowered in the ground." He paused. Eyes still attached to each other's he choked out "Bones, you should never have to bury your own babies, and then be put in the ground alive. It's just not right."

Brennan wrapped her arm through Booth's as she guided him away from that grave to the next victim.

*Ring around the rosey*

Booth: We're running out of time.

Zach: Minor correction. Dr. Brennan and Hodgins will run out of time in 4 seconds.

(4 seconds)

Zach; We are out of time.

*Pocket full o'posey*

Vega: You know what you just need to deal with the facts, that if you can't put the ransom together in the time he gave you…your partner is dead.

Booth: Here's the deal alright, you have a relationship with this guy it's what they call symbiotic… you benefit from each other. So know this… that deadline comes and my partner is still underground I will end you. You understand? 3 hours to live…Better hurry.

*Ashes to ashes*

Brennan: Booth will find us.

Hodgins: You have a lot of faith in Booth.

Brennan: No faith is an irrational belief in something that is logically impossible. Over time I've seen what Booth can do it's not faith.

Hodgins: No offense and I'm not just saying this because you filletedme with a knife. We are out of air, we don't know id our message got our much less if anyone understood it and we are buried underground. What you have is faith baby.

*We all fall down*

Booth: It was all of us, Every single one. You take one of us away and you and Hodgins are in that hole forever…and I'm thankful for that.

Brennan: I knew you wouldn't give up.

Booth: I knew you wouldn't give up.

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Oh Gravedigger

Walking up to the last grave it started to rain lightly.

"Little Mikey Carson, seven years old" Booth said.

"I remember watching that home video of him riding his bike" Brennan threw in.

"Yeah, he rode his bike like the devil until the day he died" Booth said.

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Grave digger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain

"Come on Bones it's starting to rain harder. Let's go." Booth said.

*I can feel the rain*

"Bones, come on." Brennan didn't move she just stared down at her feet. Booth began to worry. "Bones are you okay?"

*I can feel the rain*

Booth places his hand under her chin and brings her eyes to look at his. He can see that she is crying. "We will get him Bones."

"Booth, I was so close to laying right here with them. I don't think I could take adding another person to the Gravedigger's list." Brennan's tears began to flow faster. Booth swipes her tears away with his thumb then pulls her into his arms. Booth whispers into Brennan's ear "We are going to get him and I'm never going to let anything happen to you I promise. I won't ever give up."

Here are the full lyrics to the song…

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
You could live to a 103
A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
So, Cyrus Jones lived forever

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now, you should never have to watch your only children lowered in the ground
I mean you should never have to bury your own babies

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Ring around the rosey
Pocket full o'posey
Ashes to ashes
{Musical intro}
We all fall down

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Oh Gravedigger

Little Mikey Carson '67 to '75
He rode his bike like the devil until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
Oh, 1940 to 1992-

Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Grave digger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
I can feel the rain
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
