Tempe arrived at the museum at 8:00 that morning, her brother had been late on his wake up call and instead of calling her at 6:00 he called her at 6:45, making her 45 minutes late to work, but still a half an hour early from everyone else.

Making her way to her office, she put her things on her couch, made her way to the main lab area where the bones lay and got to work on recording her findings on the bones.

"Female in mid to late 20's." she said into her tape recorder, "bone structure show the female was Caucasian. And upon closer inspection of the left leg the fibula and tibia have suffered severe damage and the femur seems sprained, yet the patella holds no sign of struggle, strain or break." Tempe moved up to the skull and examined it as well. "The skull however does show signs of indentation, as though the skull was beat by a large heavy item."

Putting the tape recorder down, she saw something she hadn't noticed before and probably only saw it know because the bones were fully cleaned. She made her way back down to the legs and noticed the patella had part of the tibia stuck to it, yet the right showed to be normal.

She quickly picked the tape reorder back up and spoke. "The left patella, though hard to see, shows signs of a breaking, and holds a piece of the tibia stuck to it, as if the lower leg was ripped from the patella entirely."

Tempe turned around to return to her office when she ran into someone. "Angela?" she asked noticing her friend with her sketch book in hand.

"Hey sweetie." Her friend offered giving her a morning hug.

"How long have you been here?"

"About 10 minutes I finished the drawing last night and I wanted to show it to you." She said then turned the pad over to show the face of a young woman with long hair and a smile, like all of Angela's drawings this one had a smile.

"That looks nice, perfect. I'd show Booth…" Tempe said, then stopped short when she heard her name being called

"BONES!" it was Booth and he seemed to be in a good mood. "Good morning Angela, good morning Bones." He said smiling, getting a 'good morning' from Angela and an eye roll from Tempe.

"Angela could you please show Booth the picture?" she asked walking towards her office, Booth right behind her, the picture in hand.

"I know her, well not personally, she was a young girl who did all she could to help the sick and dying in need, her name was Heather Morgan, she was so full of life." Booth said looking at the picture.

"They always are Booth, and then they come in here, dead, drained of all life." Tempe said rummaging through her files.

"You know, you could show a little compassion." Booth said looking at her.

"You know, Booth, you could get out of my office and leave me to my work also." She snapped back.

"Fine, but by the way, Temperance," he said adding a huge emphasis on her first name, "it wouldn't kill you to show some type of human emotion, and not shove it all to the side like some cold hearted robot." He finished and left, leaving Tempe highly upset.

It had been a few hours later, when Booth re-entered the lab with a few files in hand. He slowly made his way to Tempe's office and waited until she got back from examining the bones with Hodgins and Zach.

"No, Zach I want full X-rays of that bone, then I want it separated and put in safe keeping." She said walking with Zach.

"Yes Dr. Brennan." He answered and left.

"You? What are you doing here?" she asked making her way to his desk.

"I'm working on this case with you remember?" he asked sarcastically and handed her the files. "I need some help understanding what happened to her. I mean one minute nothings wrong with her knee and nothing's broken, the next you find out she had her leg ripped of? What's up with that?"

"I found something this morning that proves otherwise, look we just got the bones cleaned so we're finding more things. You just need to expect the unexpected. Now her lower leg was ripped from the knee socket days before she died. Her head was beat in a few times, most likely leaving her unconscious while her leg remained broken and judging by the damages done to her right radius and ulna it appears she tried to fight off her attacker."

"Can you tell if she was raped?"

"Only if she was brutally raped, I could tell by the pelvis. I'll get started on that; we just got the bones cleaned Booth, so don't expect all the answers at once." Tempe said getting up from her desk and walked back out to the bones to look at the pelvis, Booth following closely behind.

"What have you got for me?" Tempe asked Hodgins who was studying the bone fragment Zach had pulled from the knee.

"We've got us a match, her leg was ripped out of its place, judging from the way it connects to the other bone, and she was struggling to keep it together." Zach answered.

"I need to get a good look at the pelvis, Zach; you look on the left side and let me know if you see any damage."

Two hours later it was all done, Heather Morgan had been brutally raped, beaten and had her leg ripped from the socket, all before she died. It tore Booth apart inside.

"Alright, tomorrow, Bones," he started to talk to Tempe, "you and I will talk to her parents and follow up on a few leads." Tempe nodded and headed back to her office.

"Hey, Tempie, having fun?" Russell asked from behind her desk.

"Yes as a matter of fact I am, we just finished examining the bones and tomorrow we start looking for her killer." She explained, and then walked over to her brother. "Now get out of my chair."

"I came to ask you out to lunch, you game?"

"Why?"

"Do you know what today is?" he asked her.

"Yeah, June 13. Why?"

"Think harder."

"I don't know."

"It's mom and dad's wedding anniversary."

"Oh, that's right." She said growing silent.

"I was hoping maybe we could have lunch in there honor."

"Alright just let me grab my bag." Tempe agreed, grabbed her stuff and left the museum for lunch.


Alright how was that? I know it was more scientific then anything and I apologize I have my science final tomorrow and I couldn't get the words out of my head, I can promise you though Tempe and Booth romance will be coming in soon. Just let me know what you guys think and if I should continue. Thanks for the past reviews I love hearing from you guys.

By the way should Tempe go with everybody to Wong Foo's?
