This is the second to last chapter I think, uh sorry it takes me awhile to actually finish anything I write, if procrastination was in the Olympics I'd probably win gold…haha. Ok on with the story…Bones and Booth fluff will most likely be the entire next chapter, warning everyone now!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except maybe a few different tv shows on dvd and a few posters! I do own the characters mostly the dead ones and the dead one's families.

"Booth are you sure this is going to work?"

"Bones are you sure you should keep asking me that I am the one with the gun remember?" Bones grumbled something under her breath and reluctantly followed her partner into the Gordon household. Booth knocked a little more forcefully than he had to, Sam Gordon answered the door, her face was red and her eyes were puffy from crying, she looked worn, almost as if she aged ten years since their last visit. She looked surprised to see them.

"H-hello Dr. Brennan, Agent…"

"Booth, Agent Booth, I'm sorry to disturb you but we have a few more questions about your daughter."

"Oh of course, what is it that you needed to know, oh my god did you find her?" The older woman stepped inside allowing Booth and Brennan to enter her home once again. Hope sparked in her eyes for a moment but disappeared as the FBI agent shook his head.

"No but we have a few ideas on what happened."

"Are you going to tell me or do I have to wait for a special written invitation?" Brennan almost laughed at the woman's fiery ways, like mother like daughter.

"Alright, do recognize the names Aimee Ryan or Michelle Colbert?"

"Yes they dropped out of the contest, that's why Kayley was able to go."

"Do you know why they dropped out Mrs. Gordon-uh Sam?"

"No I don't, I guess I never asked because I was too excited I mean what are the odds?"

"Well they dropped out because well, they didn't show up and they just assumed that they were no shows but it turns out that they both were reported missing and we found their bodies a few miles apart, in a close distance to the White House."

"Their bodies? T-that means that someone murdered those girls?"

"Yeah, and we are trying to find out what happened so we can find Kayley before she meets the same fate as the other girls" Booth explained to Sam. He suddenly realized he was alone and that his partner had disappeared some where.

"Excuse me, Sam did you see where Bon-Dr. Brennan went?"

"Yes she said she was going to look in Kay's room to see if she could find anything else that could help."

"Oh excuse me for a moment?"

"Sure, if you don't mind me asking how long have the two of you been married?"

"Uh…" Booth was definitely was not prepared for that question, "Um, we aren't together like that she's just my partner."

"Oh sorry, are you sure?"

"Positive." He answered surely.

"Well if that's what you believe…" Sam simply smiled as Booth went in search for Bones, he was still on edge from Mrs. Gordon's previous statements. She thought we were together! Booth thought to himself, someone besides Angela saw their connection; maybe the two women had a point, did Bones feel the same way about him as he did about her? Booth was getting excited maybe when they were done working this case he would finally work up enough courage to ask the doctor out on a real date.

Brennan couldn't stand there anymore just listening as Booth informed Kayley's mother of their situation, she knew there was something in that room that they had missed. Damn! She thought to herself, since when did she follow her gut? She followed evidence not instincts, Booth was rubbing off on her she smiled at the thought, as she entered Kayley Gordon's bedroom once again. The room was exactly the same as they left it including the posters of people from pop culture, she suddenly took interest in the young blonde with the stake, Booth told her it was from a TV show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Something intrigued her as she read the back of each season set and looked through articles reviewing the show, the high school was on top of a hell mouth, meaning high school equaled hell, a world filled with vampires and demons and a few select heroes willing to do whatever it took to save even the not so innocent victims. Maybe she would start actually watching this television show, it sounded like an interesting way to describe real life in a way that is so improbable that it was impossible not to understand. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks, she knew who had done it! Well not a name but she knew exactly where to look. She spun around on her heel and crashed right into none other than Seeley Booth.

"Whoa Bones where's the fire?"

"I don't know what that means"

"I know, what are you doing up here?"

"I had a feeling that we missed something…"

"You Dr. Temperance Brennan followed a gut feeling without any evidence? Are you feeling ok?" Brennan rolled her eyes as he placed his hand on her forehead pretending to check for a temperature.

"As I was saying Booth, I was looking at those dvds and then it hit me," Brennan stopped to think, "We need to get the list of people who were in the contest."

"What hit you Bones? Could please finish that sentence like you I am not telepathic." Temperance just ignored him as he trailed her to his car. They briefly said goodbye to the Gordon family as they rushed out to Booth's car.

"I thought we were going to send the twin…"

"Hailey" Brennan provided her name to Booth.

"Right Hailey, I thought we were going to get her to go to the White House in her sister's place and catch her in the act.

"Well if we know who did why put someone in danger right?"

"For once Bones you're right but you still didn't tell me who it was."

"Well I don't exactly know the name of person yet but once I get the list of competitors than I'll know"

"Right. Whatever you say Bones." Booth drove back to the lab before they left for the White House.

Zack immediately found Brennan and Booth and started talking about the case. "Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth"

"Hi Zack do you have anything for me?" Brennan greeted Zack while Booth continued to not acknowledge his presence for the most part.

"Yes both victims died from asphyxiation and…"

"English please?" Booth asked slightly rude.

"They were straggled to death," Zack continued, "Definitely the same killer, and…" Hodgins strutted in and proceeded to talk effectively shutting up the lab assistant.

"Both girls had soil and cement under their fingernails, they were kept in a basement and…" This time Hodgins was cut off by Booth, he returned from getting a faxed list of the names of the people who had entered the contest, the list was in order of where each person placed.

"Come on Bones we are off to have lunch at the White House." Booth and Brennan quickly made their way to Booth's car as they drove to the White House. Bones was studying the list of names hoping one would pop out at her.

"The person next on the list is Kyle Henry."

"Alright let's see if he has any idea why these girls came up dead." Booth turned the car quickly on to the street on which Kyle Henry resides.

"Bones…"

"I know let you do the talking."

"That's not what I was going to say but yeah" They exited the SUV and knocked on the door. To their surprise a very distraught women opened the door.

"Are you here about my Kyle?" The woman choked through between sobs.

"Yeah is he her we would like to talk to him."

"You mean she, Kyle is my only daughter, she was supposed to go to the White House for lunch but when I called her for dinner she didn't come, she was in her bedroom doing her homework, and now she g-"

"Ok thank you, Bones who's next on the list?"

"Kale Berman"

"Let's go" Again they raced to their car hoping that they could catch her in the act

They speeded to a house only a few blocks away from Kyle's house. Booth forced open the door and raced inside and down to the basement. Brennan followed closely behind when her phone rang,

"Brennan." She answered quickly "What slow down Zack, what the girls were raped?" He continued to talk and Brennan finished up and hurried after Booth, "Booth the suspect-Kale is a male not a female" she told him as Booth directed his gun at the only male present.

"Kale Berman don't move you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent…" Booth continued to tell him his rights while Bones looked around for survivors. She pulled aside a curtain which revealed a very naked, battered girl with red hair and another brunette also nude with bruise painted across her body, she felt for a pulse and miraculously both girls were alive, the redhead, presumably Kayley wasn't going to be for long though if they didn't get help.

The police and ambulance arrived almost five minutes later and Kale was in custody while the other two were sent to the hospital. Booth immediately called the families of the two girls and agreed to meet them at the hospital.

Next chapter is the final Chapter of Pop Quiz, I'm gonna finish the game20 questions so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears, um eyes I mean…I'll probably write it tomorrow if I get the chance. Plus will Kayley and Kyle survive? Reviews please!
