Brennan and Angela arrive at the hospital only 30 mins. after Brennan recieved the phone call. She become furious because he has been there for a few hours and know one informed her. The doctor who operated on Booth comes out and speaks to Brennan about his situation.

"Why the hell was I not informed about this sooner?"

"Dr. Brennan please calm down. We had no idea you are engaged to him and I asked the hosiptal to phone only the known family members. Aparently he hasn't told the family of your upcoming marriage either"

"Whatever, how is Booth? Will he be ok?"

"Yes, we had to operate surgery on him, but he will pull through. Booth had a few broken ribs, his legs were severly crushed but not broken, and he almost lost his right arm"

"Dear god how bad was the crash?"

"There's a police officer in the back room who can fill you on the details. We're going to be watching Booth's condition, but if he responds to the treatment ok and properly then he should recover in just a few short weeks. For now he needs to rest"

"Of course, thank you doctor"

Brennan makes her way to the back room to speak with the officer. On her way she goes through the waiting room and finds Tessa with Parker. Tessa comes over to Brennan to explain things.

"Temperance, I'm sorry I had no idea you two..."

"is Parker alright with this?"

"He's fine. I wanted to tell I had no idea about the relationship otherwise I would have called you first thing...I swear"

"Booth's ok...that's all I care about right now. I'll come back to talk with Parker later. I'm going to speak with the officer now if you want to come with me"

"No thanks I wanna stay here with my son. Someone can always fill me in on the facts later"

Brennan makes her way to the back room where a police officer, Booth's boss, and another FBI agent await her.

"Dr. Brennan I'm Officer Nicholas Frickerman."

"Pleasure, so what happened?"

"Booth was according to witnesses heading back to the Jeffersonian to deliever something to you which these two men are carrying. He went to make a turn at the corner of Liberty street and a car hit him. We arrested the driver he was severly drunk and high with a stripper in the driver's seat."

"Oh my god"

"Please don't worry though Agent Booth will live and charges will be pressed against both the driver and the stripper."

"Fine thank you"

"Of course, I'm going to leave you with these two gentlemen. If you have any further questions feel free to call me at the station."

The police officer leaves the room. Now it's Brennan, Booth's boss, and the FBI agent whom Bones doesn't know.

"Dr. Brennan are you going to be fine?"

"I think so. Who's the agent?"

"I'm Agent Jordan Williams"

"Dr. Brennan the accident has left agent Booth in a state in which he can no longer continue his involvement with the case. Therefore until further notice I'm assigning this case to Agent Williams. You two will be temporarily working together and should have no problems getting along. Agent Williams is a big fan of your work Dr. Brennan"

"Really?"

"Oh yes I very much enjoyed 'Bred in the Bone' I can't tell you what an honor this is to work with you on this case"

"Thanks I'm flattered but Agent Williams..."

"You can call me Jordan"

"Ok Jordan, may I remind you that we do have a case to solve and we should focus on it until it is solved. Then afterwards I would accept any praise you want to give me on my books, but for now concentrate on the case. Got it?"

"Of course"

"Watch out Agent Williams she's a pistol, but she's good."

"I know she's good. Thank You sir"

Jordan and Brennan leave the room to return to the lab. Brennan stops off at the waiting room to have a small chat with Parker. While doing so all Jordan could thing was what the boss said..."she's a pistol", but he thinks to himself.."Yeah I wish she was my pistol"

Back at the lab the team is still worried about the case because they can't seem to find a suspect who matches any of their possible characteristics. Angela talks to Brennan and suggests she and the new agent speak to Laura's parents. Brennan and Jordan feel uncomfortable going to Laura's home for they fear that the media will swamp her parents for answers which is something they didn't need right now so they communicate through the phone.

"Mrs. Bendale my name is Dr. Temperance Brennan I'm a forensic anthropolgist at the Jeffersonian who is associated with the FBI. I have here with me FBI Agent Jordan Williams and we would like to ask you some questions about your daughter"

"Of course I'll help in anyway I can. Anything to put the bstrd who killed my daughter behind bars."

"So far we know she was killed by 'silent posion'"

"Oh my"

"The ingredients used in the chemical come from the middle east. However we know who ever mixed the ingredients is not a native of the region because one of the key ingredients was improperly added to the solution."

"Dr. Brennan I do appericate you telling me about my daughters death, but I don't have a clue what you're talking about"

"I was afraid of that"

At that point Jordan came on the line and tried to explain things in english to Mrs. Bendale.

"Mrs. Bendale what Dr. Brennan is referring to is a technique from an old ritual from the eastern european tribes called "Tubackqunok" which translates to "The Mixes of Death." It's an old and ancient religion that's extremely small but does exist. Do you know anyone who practices this or is fimilar with the religion."

"Young man I've never even heard of such thing. If you ask me it almost sounds voo-doo or something!"

"Mrs. Bendale I've worked with voo-doo before and trust me TUBACKQUNOK IS NOT IN ANY FORM RELATED TO VOO-DOO!"

"Did she know anybody who might know someone who does work with this religion"

"Agent Williams, I would suggest trying her fitness group at the local gym. Other than her family they were the only ones she really socialized with."

"Well thank you for your time and cooperation Mrs. Bendale and we will keep in touch"

"Of course thank you Agent Williams and Dr. Brennan I know you both are doing your best"

Jordan and Brennan then look up the gym she was a member of and head there to question her instructor and gym mates. On the way their Brennan calls Booth to fill him in on the case. She feels that even though he has been taken off of it he has a right to know what's been happening.

Guess what I made up this time? LOL
