"Well I was put into the foster system when I was 16 and my grandfather who lived in Dallas took me out of the system and I moved in with him. Nicky lived next door to me, and we became best friends." Brennan explained

"As I see you haven't lost contact." Sara said

"Nope, we haven't lost contact. Nick replied. After a little longer everyone said their good byes and left the room, just Brennan, Nick and Booth were sitting at the table still.

"How are you Nicky?" Brennan asked

"I'm doing great as you can see. I'm guessing you are doing the same." Nick replied with an assumption about Brennan's life.

"Not exactly, my mother's remains were found, Russ came back, I found out my parents had assumed identities and I saw my father again. They just walked out on me. We can talk more later." She corrected his assumption.

"Yeah that's a good idea... So you want to see that body now?" Nick said not wanting to argue with his friend.

"Yeah that would be good." Brennan replied. She turned to Booth as she got up as if to say 'come on' and he went with Brennan and Nick. When they reached the morgue Nick showed them where the body was. Brennan had her bag with her camera and her laptop on the autopsy table next to the remains, her equipment was all ready and she had her tape recorder to her mouth ready to find something. She looked over the skeleton looking at every bone once. Then she finally said something.

"The victim is female, Caucasian, 20-30 years old. There are stress fractures on her radii and ulni which means she was bound and struggling. Her right tibia shows some old damage that is most likely a late childhood injury. Her tarsal's are ground together most likely her feet were bound together as well. Nick if you don't mind I am going to need a lot of help packaging up the remains to send them to the Jeffersonian. She concluded

"No problem Tempe." Nick said. Right after Nick said that someone else said "Hey Sweetie" Brennan turned around to the laptop screen and started talking to Angela.

"Hey Ange, is everyone there?" Brennan asked as her teams in both places huddled around the laptop.

"Yeah everyone's here. Hey Booth and other guy." Angela replied.

"Ange it looks like a Maggie Shillings case. And that other guy is Nick Stokes, he works here at the crime lab." Brennan told her best friend and co-worker.

"Really, another case like that. All we need is for Michael to show up." Hodgins said

"I am going to pretend I didn't hear that. Okay let me think...Zack..." Brennan said

"Yes Dr. Brennan?" Zack replied

"I am going to send the body back to the Jeffersonian, I need you to clean the bones and place tissue depth markers. Ange you give me a face, and i would like the Angelator images. And Hodgins sorry, I have an enthromologist out here. So no bugs, but I do have some human goop and some other stuff out here for you." Brennan told her team and left the screen she was looking at, everyone but Angela and she told her best friend "Sweetie listen to me, you can't do anything on the case until we get these results to you. So you go hang out and have some fun. Maybe go out with Nick and his friends, rember you are in Las Vegas. And i'll talk to you later." Angela said that and logged off.

"Whatever you say Ange." Brennan said

"So what now Bones?" Booth asked his partner

"Nick and I are going to pack up the remains. Tou can leave or you can stay...but don't-"

"Touch anything!Iknow! You tell me that only on every case we ever worked on!" So Booth just sat around and watched Nick and Brennan package up the remains. And when they were finished he whent to his hotel. Brennan and Nick went to his house to chat and wait for the results.
