"Brennan." Tempe said putting her phone to her ear.

"You know its none of my business, but I never knew you and your agent friend were closer than I thought." Her brother said on the other line, a smile could be heard in his voice.

"He's not Russ, I was in one of my moods and I needed someone to talk to, nothing happened." She fought him.

"Hey it's none of my business." He said laughing. "You still go through those little moods of yours?"

"Yes, ever since I was 14 and realized Monty died." She said looking over to Booth who brought her some coffee; he gave her an odd look.

"I'm telling you Tempie, that mouse couldn't live in a shoe box in your closet."

"I know that now. I was young and naïve."

"Yeah well I just wanted to make sure you were up. Are you going into your little lab today?"

"No, Booth and I are going in search of a girl's killer."

"Well alright then have fun. I just wanted to tell you I'm heading home today and I'll see you next time I'm in town."

"Alright I love you Russ. Bye" It had been a while since she had last told somebody she loved them and even though with her brother it was true it was if an odd taste had entered her mouth.

"Love you too Tempie, keep in touch, bye." And with that they both hung up.

"So you ready for work?" Booth asked entering the room dressed and ready to go.

"I need to stop by my apartment first I need to change."

Tempe jumped out of Booth's car and ran up to her apartment and straight towards her bedroom. She rushed into her closet and grabbed whatever she could grab her hands on in the short amount of time that remained. She was running late and had to stop by her office for a file she had left behind.

Putting on the clothes she grabbed, Tempe looked in the mirror. Her hair was a bit of a mess and her black spaghetti strapped shirt was crooked. She fixed her hair, straightened her shirt, threw on a brown jacket and shoved her cell into her black jeans; running back into the living room and out the door to where Booth sat patiently in his car.

"Alright so I'm just going to grab my files inform Zach on what to continue looking for and we should be ready to go." Tempe explained as the car pulled up to the museum.

They entered the lab and Tempe ran into her office for the file on Heather Morgan. She then went over to the examination area and found Zach starring at the bones.

"Alright, Zach I need you to check every part of her body and find out anything you can, but mostly at her left leg I want to know if the leg was ripped off or beaten off." She said grabbing the sketch Angela had left.

"Yes, Dr. Brennan." He said and got started on the left leg as Hodgins entered with a box.

"What's in the box?" Tempe asked looking over to him.

"Some form of unneeded bacteria." Zach said never once raising his head.

"My friend, Larry." Hodgins said showing the box to Tempe. She starred in and saw a beetle inside.

"What has this got to do with the case?"

"while examining the bones before they were cleaned I found a form of beetle dung and Larry's type can only be found on one area of the D.C. area if I can match both dung together I can close in the location the victim here was murdered at." Hodgins said proudly now petting the bug.

"Not bad Hodgins you've obviously know what you're doing." Tempe said looking to Booth, who looked disgusted at the mention of bug dung. "Keep me informed on what you find out." She said and left with Booth.

"That's not right. Does Hodgins get paid for all of that?" Booth asked walking to the car.

"Yes, he gets paid a lot, like the rest of us." Tempe said shaking her head.

"That's just unhealthy, playing with bug dung"

The walked to the SUV and got in. they sat in silence for a while and Tempe took the time to read through the file.

"So who are we going to see first?" she asked breaking the silence.

"Heather's mother and father, maybe they can give us some information on where she was supposed to be the night all this took place." Booth said and stopped as the stoplight turned red.
