AN: Oh good grief I suck at this lol. I realized that I forgot to include Cam (mostly b/c I don't really like her) but I figured that I needed to include her.

"Let the games begin? Are you sure?" Booth asked looking at Hodgins.

Hodgins nodded. "Yeah, I double checked."

"So we have another sicko playing games with us?" Booth said, thinking back to Howard Epps. Now not only was he worried about everyone's safety, he was thoroughly ticked off that someone was screwing with them.

Bones stood next to them, lost in thought. "The most important thing to do right now is to find out who this man is and what killed him" she said, trying to keep Booth on track. "Zack, take the skull and put the tissues markers on it for Angela, see if we can't get a face." Zack nodded, and went to his station with the skull. "Now, Hodgins," Bones said looking at him "Take the soil samples collected from around the body and see if there's anything special about them."

Hodgins nodded and picked up the evidence bag sitting on a nearby desk. "I'll get right on it" he said, and went to his station.

"Very good," Bones said. "I'll look over the body again, see if I can find cause of death."

"Ok, good, everybody has something to do" Booth said. "As for you, Bones, you don't leave my sight."

Bones looked annoyed. "I don't need you to protect me Booth."

"Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean that it means anything to me" Booth said with a smile.

Bones rolled her eyes. "Fine," she said "which means you can sit here and keep yourself entertained while I examine the bones." She smiled when she said it, knowing that Booth wouldn't be able to sit still very long.

"Fine, I'll sit here" Booth said with a smug grin, sitting in a chair and propping his feet on a desk.

"Have it your way" Bones grumbled, going back to the body. She managed to get only about five minutes of quiet time to begin her examination before Booth's phone rang.

Booth snapped open the phone. "Booth here" he said. He sat quietly for a second, listening to whoever was one the other end of the conversation. "Ok, thanks" Booth said, hanging up the phone. "Cut the examination short Bones, we got another body.

Woodmont Park in Bethesda, MD was a quaint little park right outside downtown. As Booth and Bones drove into the parking lot, Bones couldn't help but think that a murder was out of place here. Crime scene tape marked off one section of the park. The local police were interviewing woman with her kids. The woman looked a little shook up, but managed to put on a strong act for the kids. The kids, however, looked like they were in shock. Probably the unlucky ones who found the body Bones thought.

Booth and Bones got out of the car and walked over to one of the local officers waiting for them. "The woman over there" the officer said, gesturing towards the woman and her kids, "found the body when she brought her kids here to play. The body has some kind of weird pattern burned into it."

"Burned?" Booth asked. "Like, branded or something?"

"Yeah, something like that" the officer said as they reached the body.

The body was on its back, naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of the body. There was a burn on the body, stretching from the chest to the abdomen.

"This is a body," Bones said, looking at Booth, "A body with flesh."

"Yeah, well, there is that weird burn thing that may have something to do with our code body from yesterday." Booth said in a defensive way.

Bones sighed and knelt next to the body. "Fine. Male, mid-40s. The burn stretches from the top of the sternum to the pubic bone." She looked at the burn. "This burn doesn't consist of any letters or numbers. It looks like a barcode." She looked up at Booth as she said it.

"A barcode? Like the thing that gets swiped at a store when you buy something?" Booth asked, looking confused.

"Yeah" Bones said. "If it's some type of code, then Hodgins may know what it means." She stood up and looked at Booth. "You know what this means, right?"

"Yeah, it means we'll have to call Cam back early from her vacation" Booth said. Bones couldn't help but noticed that he almost looked a little scared when he said it.
