CORRECTION: I made a slight error. Rebecca is Parker's mother not Tessa my mistake sorry! Thanks to the people who e-mailed me about this! Sorry :), but I'm glad you're all like it. Here's the next part.

Jordan and Brennan arrive at the Body Builders Gym. They go inside hoping to find the group that Laura excerised with. They go to the front desk for information.

"Good afternoon may I help you?"

"Yes I was wondering if you could tell us what fitness group Laura Bendale belonged to"

"I'm sorry sir that information can only be disclosed to members of the gym."

"Miss we are from the FBI and are investgating the murder of Laura Bendale. We need access to her group to ask questions that will help us find her murderer."

"Is she with you too?"

"Yes"

"Very well, I'm going to give you both VIP passes so you have access anywhere in the building you need to go without being bugged by security. Her group is in room 865 D just go down the hallway and turn to second door on your left."

"Thanks, come on Tempe"

"I'll give you credit for one thing at least you call me by my name and not Bones, although by now I've gotten use to it"

When they find the room they open the door to find the members stretching and chatting. The instructor walks towards them to find out why they are there.

"Excuse me this section is members only!"

"I'm Agent Jordan Williams (shows her the badge) and this is"

"Dr. Temperance Brennan and you would be?"

"Amy Carterson I'm the instructor for this group. Sorry for the attitude it's just laws of who can enter what are are strict here. So what can I do for you?"

"We would like to ask you and your group some questions about Laura Bendale" asks Jordan

"Sure everyone is here except for Charley, he's on vacation with his family in Mexico"

"The file says there are 20 people in your group I count 17 present you're still missing one."

"Dr. Brennan that file must be at least a year old then. We did kick a member out a few months ago."

"Who?"

"Samuel Hanson he was harrasing Laura Bendale something awful"

"Laura's bones had traces of noxiegromia which is a substance made from a religon called Tubackqunok. Do you know of anyone who practiced this or may have given hints to this religon?"

"I don't know of anyone I'm not close enough to the fitness members to know what religon they are. Feel free to ask the members though"

At that moment a young college student rose up from his bench pressing machine and headed towards the agent and Dr. Brennan.

"Excuse me did you say Tubackqunok?"

"Are you fimilar with the religon?" Brennan asked the man.

"I studies ancient culutres in college and I am fimilar with Tubackqunok. Anyone who performs such a ritual must take a piece of the body and keep it with them until they too are dead. It can be anything from hair to skin and I've heard of some people taking chunks of the feet, toes for example"

"Gross!" repiled the agent.

"Do you know anyone who knows Laura who could do this?"

"Samuel is well into the practice I would talk to him about it

"Where can we find him?"

"He owns a small diner down the street. I think it's called the Early Bird"

"Thanks come Tempe, let's check it out"

Sure enough they did check out the diner and were greeted by a young blonde waitress.

"Good evening ya'll what can I get cha sugars?"

"I would just like a hamburger and a small coke. Temperance do you want anything? my treat!"

"No thanks I'm fine really"

"Ok. Well my name's Betty and just call if you need any thing"

"Betty is there a Samuel Hanson who works here?"

"Yes hun, he's the manager. I'm not in trouble already am I?"

"No we just need to speak to him about a private matter can we talk to him?"

"Sure I'll go get him, ya'll can chat with him while the stuff's cookin."

Betty returned a few minutes later with a man who had a tag on him labeled Samuel. Jordan goes to speak with him first while Brennan just sits there.

"Mr. Samuel Hanson?"

"That's right"

"I'm agent Jordan Williams with FBI and this is Dr. Brennan. We'd like to ask you a few questions concerning the death if Laura Bendale."

"Sure take a seat agent Hanson and I'll tell you and your lady friend everything you need to know."
