Disclaimer- As before, all characters belong to Fox, Hart Hanson, Kathy Reichs and the Bones Crew.
A/N: As before this is about Booth, Brennan, Sully, Cam and the Squints.
Summer in Las Vegas is literally a permanent heat wave. Unlike the occasional short stretch of unusually hot days in DC, Sin City, as the tourists like to call it, basks in the dessert sun for up to six months at a time. After renting a car, Booth and Brennan drove the short distance from the airport to the crime scene. They took advantage of the modern luxury of the air-conditioned car not knowing how long it would be before they again felt a cool breeze passing over their bodies.
"Special Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan?" asked the local Medical Examiner.
"Yes?" said Booth.
"Pleasure to meet you both," he said."I'm Chris Jackson, local ME, follow me."
"How were these found?" asked Booth pointing to the human remains laying in front of him.
"The mayor has plans to refurbish this part of town. A construction worker found these early this morning.
"Has anyone touched the remains?" Brennan asked.
"Absolutely not, Dr. Brennan," he smiled at Brennan who returned the smile."I had the crime scene sealed with strict instructions that we wait for you."
"Thank you," said Brennan.
"Male?" inquired Chris.
"Female, between twenty-five and thirty-two years of age. Height, roughly five-foot six."
"Bones, what is it?" asked Booth with a worried look on his face.
"From what I can see so far, it looks like she has been here about six weeks and –" she hesitated.
"What Bones? What is it?" Booth asked again, knowing he wouldn't like the answer. Not that that he ever did when it came to dead bodies.
"Her heart has been removed."
Booth looked at Brennan who's face had gone pale.
"Oh my," said Chris.
