Chapter 3. I am doing the best I can with this. Honestly I am. I know that a there are probably going some people who do not like what I am doing with it but in the end it is my story so there. The reason I am adding so many OCs is that I A. need to be able to manipulate characters with out it being considered OOC and B. I cannot write any of the lab techs half way competently so I am not even going to try. Not today.

As for Katharine having the same name as Booth's girlfriend…Yea I missed that episode of Bones so I forgot he had a girlfriend named Katharine…The other thing is that my Katharine was here first so there…

Now please enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I own Katharine not the other two.

Spoilers: The Beginning in the End

Camille stood up on the forensics platform surveying the lab. It had been a week since everyone had gone their separate ways. No one had been in contact with her at all except for Booth. He had sent her an email asking how she was doing and wondering what was going on. She appreciated that he remembered she was still back home, and she had replied quickly. He had not replied to her yet.

Camille, Katharine, and Sweets had spent the past four days cleaning out the offices and packing their friends' things into boxes. It was a long and tedious process that was less than enjoyable. On Monday they had processed Hodgins' office. On Tuesday they had processed Angela's office. On Wednesday and Thursday they had cleaned out Brennan's office. That one took longer because it was much bigger than the others. Today was Friday and they had opted to clean out Booth's FBI office rather than let some stranger do it.

Katharine appeared with Sweets several minutes later and they all set off for Booth's office together. When they reached it they all stared at the door for a moment. They were all waiting for someone to tell them that they didn't have to do this. As in the days before Katharine reached forward to open the door. It swung open and they moved inside.

Sweets walked over to filing cabinets and began sorting out the files that were FBI cases and therefore needed to be returned to the Bureau. He set aside the things that were more personal. They would go into one of the cardboard boxes. Camille began working on the draws in the desk. She knew Booth kept some of his most private things in his desk and did not want either one of the people with degrees in psychology seeing it. Katharine had gone to work taking all the wall decorations down and placing them gently in yet another cardboard box.

They worked in silence for nearly an hour. Camille had spent most of the time going through a desk draw full of photos. At first she had thought they were just pictures of Parker with the occasional pictures of the team but near the bottom she was surprised. There were pictures that she had not seen in a very long time.

"Is that Booth? Katharine asked looking over Camille's shoulder at the picture the later was holding.

"Yes," Camille said with a smile, "That was taken the summer he was sixteen."

"How do you know that?" Sweets asked curiously as he walked over to look at the picture.

"Because that," Camille said pointing to the girl Booth had his arm around, "Is me." Camille and Katharine both smiled at the picture and Sweets assuming it was a girl thing was smart enough not to ask. Camille was surprised that he kept that photo for as long as he had. Of course she still had a copy of that picture too, but she had always been convinced that she was slightly more invested in that relationship than he had been. He had cared about her and she would never doubt that, but in the end he had been a sixteen year old boy. She placed in the box and continued processing the drawer.

Katharine finished removing the wall decorations not long after that conversation. Looking for something else to do her eyes lit upon a collection of photos on the desk. She walked over and examined them more carefully. What interested her was that there was not just one photo of the team. There were several photos: one of him and Brennan, one of Camille and Michelle, and one of Hodgins and Angela. Katharine gathered all the photos up and set them in a box.

Turning back to look at the desk again she realized that there was another row of pictures behind the first. There was a shot of Daisy and Sweets, which intrigued Katharine because he had never really seemed to show that much interest in either one of the aforementioned people. To the left of that shot however was one that Katharine found even more interesting: a photo of her and Zack.

Katharine smiled at the photo. She had come to see Booth almost as an older brother because he teased her every chance he got. It was nice to see that he cared enough about her to have a photo on his desk. It made her feel like part of the team and she like that feeling. Still smiling, she set the photos in the box.

They worked for several more hours before Camille glanced down at her watch and declared that it was time for lunch. Katharine and Sweets both agreed with her and the three of them set off for the diner.

"You know I find it interesting that we go to the same places Booth and Brennan visited," Sweets started. He was half waiting for one of the other two to cut him off but when neither one did. "It's like we want to feel close to them and so we go—" That was where Katharine cut him off.

"When you are talking about you," Katharine pointed out, "you probably should not be speculating."

"Now I find it interesting that you cut me off to point that out," Sweets told her.

"Look don't shrink me okay," Katharine told him annoy, "I have a degree in psychology too."

"Look guys," Camille told them deciding to stop the bickering before one or the other of them said something they regretted. "We have a whole knew team coming on Monday. Tensions are going to be high as it is. Don't start arguing with each other now."

Sweets and Katharine both apologized and Camille made a mental note of how to get psychologists to stop arguing.

After several minutes of sitting in silence there was a mutual decision that it was time to go back to the office. They paid the check and left.

There was not much talk in the office for the rest of the afternoon but when they left for the evening the office stood empty. All of Booth's things had been moved into file boxes and the boxes had been put into a storage locker with those from the other offices.

They looked at the office for a long moment before Katharine flipped off the lights and pulled the door shut behind them. On Monday they would start working cases again and with a new team that would prove to be interesting.

Well next chapter you will meet the new team. I really hope that you like this. Anyway please tell me what you think. I will at least consider any suggestions. Please review.
