Racing through traffic Booth tried his best to get to the Jeffersonian without getting them killed. He was getting really sick and tired of this game, for one it keeps interrupting his dream of being inside Bones, and two they were killing and attacking people he knew. He also didn't like the fact that they were making Bones the center of attention, everything this person did had something to do with her in one way or another and it had to be driving her nuts.

He stole a quick glance at his partner and watched as she tensed in the seat next to him. She had called Angela as soon as they heard there was another body just to make sure she was ok. After talking for a few minutes she ended the call with her friend and was suddenly nervous about whom the victim was.

While she was on the phone with Angela, Booth called Cam to make sure she was alright as well. He felt bad not thinking that she could probable be in danger and need protection, his thoughts were mostly focused on Bones and Angela. He informed her about the new body and that it was discovered by a member of the security staff at the Jeffersonian. Before he hung up Cam said she was on here way and would be there in about twenty minutes.

"Angela and Jack are alright. I told them to stay at the house and get some rest." She told Booth.

"Ok, I just called Cam and she is also alright. She is coming in to help look over the remains."

He looked over and saw the perplexed look on her face and watched he carefully while she thought.

"What's on your mind Bones?"

"I'm just wondering who it could be. Everyone I work with and care about seem to be safe, all except…"

"All except who Bones?"

"I haven't been able to reach my father since this whole thing started happening. He's not answering his phone and I'm a little worried." She whispered.

"Hey it will be ok. I'm sure Max is fine."

Brennan sighed and looked out the passenger window as they neared the lab. Once Booth pulled in and parked the SUV they made their way inside and up to the platform. They greeted the other officers as they walked up and listened to the information they had to give. After receiving the full report Brennan pushed pass them to examine the body, Booth stayed back and was confronted by a very tired looking Cullen.

"You know I am seeing you two way to much for my liking Agent Booth."

"Well no offence Sir but I don't like it either." Booth sighed.

They both watched as Brennan looked over the new body spread across the examination table. The wrists and ankles were nailed into the table with what looked like old railroad spikes and the torso was sliced open and spread like they were being dissected. All the internal organs were still intact and on display, the head was wrapped in trash bag still attached to the body.

Temperance took a deep breath before undoing the bag, she looked up at Booth and Cullen first then watched Cam make her way up the platform to join her.

"Ok this is really morbid and disgusting. It looks like a cadaver from Medical School." She implied while snapping on her gloves.

"Well let's see shall we." Brennan said slowly pulling off the trash bag to reveal the face of the victim.

"Oh god it's Clark." Exclaimed Cam.

"Clark…as in Bone's assistant Clark?" Booth questioned.

"Yes, Clark was back working as my assistant. He must have been here getting started on Caroline's body."

Temperance swallowed hard looking down at her latest protégé laid out on the examination table cut open like a science project. While she was in her daze Cam noticed a piece of paper inside the trash bag Brennan was holding.

"What's that?" she questioned pulling Bones from her thoughts as she grabbed the paper.

As she read it she felt her stomach curl.

'Just wanted to see what his insides looked like.'

"Sick ass bastard!" Cam retorted handing the paper to Booth and Cullen.

"Son of a Bitch" Cullen hissed.

Booth looked back to Bones and saw she was once again deep in thought.

"What are you thinking now Bones?"

"This is the second incident here at the lab. There have been no unauthorized entries and to gain access to the platform you have to have clearance. I am saying this again and I think you can't argue the fact anymore. Whoever is doing this works here, they know our routines, and they know everything about us because they have been watching. And to make matters worse they just took us off the case." She huffed.

"Wait…WHAT?" Booth exclaimed.

"Caroline and Clark were both colleagues and people we knew. All evidence gathered by me or anyone on our team will be deemed inadmissible in a court of law whenever we had to go to court. As far as this goes in the eyes of the law we are all considered suspects now." She informed the two puzzled FBI Agents.

"She's right; we can't thoroughly examine these bodies. You will have to get your FBI team over here to collect evidence, and tomorrow morning I will make sure that every employee can account for their whereabouts and are fully cooperative with your people." replied Cam.

"Well this…really sucks!" grunted Booth.

"I concur," replied Brennan.

She and Cam both removed their gloves and stepped off the platform.

"Agent Booth it seems there is nothing more you or your people can do here. I suggest taking your partner home and I will send some Agent to look after Cam."

Booth nodded at his bosses instructions and started to make his way out of the building before Brennan all of a sudden stopped.

"What is it…what's wrong? "He questioned.

"Do you think Cullen would mind sending someone to make sure my father is ok?" she asked nervously.

Booth nodded and turned to his boss.

"Sir, we have been trying to get in touch with Dr. Brennan's father and have had no luck. Is there any way we could get someone to try and find him?" he asked.

"Max Keenan…the man who got off on murder charges is missing during a murder investigation?" he questioned.

Brennan did not like the way that sounded and what she heard next almost made her blow a gasket.

"I think we just found our primary suspect."

"NO! My father did not do this. He has no motive to kill any of these people."

"Well until he turns up Dr. Brennan he is a suspect."

Bones sucked in a long breath before turning on her heels and making her way out of the lab. Booth followed behind her and made their way back to his apartment.

________________________________________________________________________________

Pulling into his drive Booth put the SUV in park and was about to exit the vehicle when he turned and saw Brennan sitting straight as an arrow staring at his apartment.

"What's wrong now?"

"Something feels very, very wrong. It's the same feeling I had in my apartment before I opened the door."

Booth could see her body visibly start to shake and her skin break out in goose bumps. He looked at his apartment and from the outside it didn't look like anything was wrong, but when he scanned around the outside he noticed the stakeout car with government plates and two very still Agents in the front seat and an unusual third in the back. Booth turned back to Brennan and was frightened by the look she was giving him; he turned back to the stakeout car to find only two people in it now. The third person in the back was gone, something was seriously wrong with this situation and Booth wanted to go investigate but thought it would be better to get Bones out of there and some place safe.

Climbing back into the driver seat, he started the engine and backed out of the driveway heading back towards the city. As he drove he tried to call dispatch so they could get a hold of the unit outside his house. When there was no reply he requested two units to go over and investigate.

"Booth what are we going to do? My place isn't safe, yours isn't. We can't go to the lab, it's like he's not only taking the people I care about away but he's making sure I have nowhere to go…nowhere to turn to."

"It will be alright Bones, for now we will check into a hotel under different aliases and go from there. And we will catch this guy, because he is really starting to piss me off." He hissed.

An hour later they were checked into a hotel in downtown DC under the false identities of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was a very common name and if anyone was trying to find them they would have to go through a whole lot of Smith's to find them.

Brennan was taking a shower when Booth got a call back from a very distraught Cullen. It turns out Bones feeling was correct and the two Agents assigned to watch Booths apartment were found killed in the car with a notes saying 'They won't save you' taped to one of their chests. Booth was about to throw his phone. He knew he should have challenged that third person, if he did they would have the killer in custody, but no he ran away to safety.

He was angry, scared, frustrated, every emotion that could make his blood boil. He hated feeling like this, he needed release, a way to clear his head so he could think, but all he did was cloud it even more with assumptions and theories. He needed to do something and he needed to do it now!

Poor Clark, who would want to kill Brennan's assistant? Then go kill two FBI Agents? More and more questions and less answers, especially now that the team is off the case. At least Booth listened to Bones this time and it saved their life. Now I wonder what he is going to do to release that pent up anger, guilt and frustration?!?! I think most of you know!! Until next chapter!
