Chapter .1.
8 Months Later…
Booth sat with Sweets his partner in the field. Bones had left without a trace 8 months prior. Everyone was feeling ashamed at how they acted. He still remembers Cam telling him Bones had quit…
Flashback
"Seeley you need to come in", Cam says on the phone
"Why? I am really not in the mood for another fight with Bones", Booth says
"Just come Booth. You are going to want to see this", Cam says hanging up
Booth sighs and grabs his keys and heads to the Jeffersonian. When he gets there it was quiet. Booth goes to Cam's office.
"What is it Camille?" Booth asks
"This", Cam says handing him a letter
"What is this?" Booth asks
"It is a letter of resignation from Dr Brennan. Effected Immediately. She is gone Seeley her office is also cleared out. WE drove her away", Cam says
"I will go to her place and sort this out Camille. Bones is NOT quitting", Booth says
Booth drives to Bones's apartment. It was empty of all personal items.
"Booth anything?" Sweets asks when Booth gets back to the office
"Nothing in her apartment that is personal. I putting a BOLO out on her car and checking all flights. I have to find her", Booth says
"We will all help get her back. It is our fault she is gone", Sweets says, "I am ashamed to admit it but I might have had a part to play in this. But I want to fix this. So tell me what to do"
"Tell the Agents to put a BOLO out on her car. I will check flights. You look into her call history and see if something is there", Booth says
"I will. I will get Angela to help me", Sweets says
End Flashback
But they never did find out what happened to Brennan. She had disappeared. Even Max couldn't find her. All Booth, Angela, Hodgins, Sweets, Cam, Caroline could do was hope that Brennan would come back and she would let them apologies.
"Booth", Booth says answering his find
"Booth I need you to take this case that landed in my lap it is joint jurisdiction with NCIS. If you hurry you might be on sight before they are. A tip for you they don't like working with other people. So we will have to fight for this. There have been three sets of remains dug up in the woods. 2 our Navy personal and one is an FBI not sure who yet. Get there with your team and see what you can find", Fornell says
"Ok send me the address", Booth says, "Sweets we have a case"
Tempe had reconnected with her children the past 8 months. Gibbs let her take them to school and pick them up. They were a big team so it was fine. Tempe now felt Gibbs fill the father void again like he did when Tommy, Tony and Herself first started out.
Tempe had, had trouble settling back down but after talking to everyone she went to see a therapist who helped her basically after losing her 'other' family and over the trauma of her rape. But the traces still lingered. She still didn't liked to be touched by males other than those she knew. And she didn't like talking about her 'other family'. She was not exactly mad at them but upset. So she decided to put that life in the past. But she still loved Booth. She didn't think anything would change that. But she couldn't work with him again after what he said to her. She just couldn't.
Tempe got into work after dropping off her quads. And went straight to her teams bullpen.
"Morning Tempe", Tony says kissing his sisters cheek
"How is Leyla?" Tempe asks
"Can't wait to have this baby out of her. She still has a month to go. She is scary when she is angry like you", Tony says
"Thanks Tony but I am not that scary", Tempe says
"Yes you are", Tommy says kissing his sisters cheek
"Kate, Ziva help me out here", Tempe asks
"You know we can gang up on the you with Abby of course", Kate says smirking
"We can always rope Jenny into helping", Ziva adds
"Ok you win", Tony says backing down
"Morning Tempe", McGee says
"Morning Tim", Tempe says
"Morning Temperance", Ari says
"Morning Ari. So where is Gibbs?" Tempe asks
"Should be here soon", Ziva says
Tempe nods and sits at her desk and checks her email. After she had left she had changed her email account and phone number. So that she wouldn't be bothered by her past 'life'.
"Gear up", Gibbs barks
Tempe immediately goes for her gear. She places her gun in its holster and grabs her pack.
"What we got Boss?" Tommy asks
"2 dead marines in the forest the third is FBI. So we can expect a fight. Jenny said we will get lead because 2 of the bodies are marines. But I don't put it past the FBI to try and get there first", Gibbs says, "Tim, Tempe, Kate in the car with me. Tom, Tony, Ziva and Ari in the truck"
"On your six boss", everyone says
"Cam, Clark what have we got?" Booth asks
"Not sure yet. But one is intact. A lance Corporal Thomas Edwards. They might have been killed the same way", Cam says
"What did this to the remains?" Booth asks
"Coyotes. Wild Dogs. I will check when I get back to the lab", Hodgins says
"Time off death? On the lance Corporal?" Booth asks
"Won't know till we get him back to the lab", Cam says
"Agent Booth NCIS is here", a police officer says
"Great", Booth mutters
"Your contaminating my crime scene", Gibbs says
"It is ours since there is a dead FBI Agent down there", Booth says
"There are TWO marines down there. Your Director already gave us the lead on this investigation. But we have to keep you in the loop that was the deal. Now step aside for my team to do it's work", Gibbs says
"Who exactly are you?" Booth asks
"Special Agent Gibbs", Gibbs says showing his badge
"Special Agent Booth FBI", Booth says showing his badge
Gibbs eyes narrow at Booth recognising that name he hoped Tempe would be able to work this case she was a expect in all fields and this was a case he could use her.
"Ari has Ducky arrived yet?" Gibbs barks
"Just pulled up with Jimmy", Ari says
"Who are you?" Booth asks
"Special Agent Ari Haswari NCIS", Ari says
"Booth FBI", Booth says
Ari's jaw clenched. He had to rein in his temper. So this was the man that broke Tempe's heart. Well he would be sure to help Tony and Tommy get back at him for that.
"Ari, Tommy scout the area see if you can find anything, Ziva interview the witnesses, Tim bag and Tag, Kate sketch, Tony photograph the scene. Tempe with me we are going to see the victims", Gibbs barks
"Boss do we know what we are dealing with…", Tempe says looking at Booth
"Bones?" Booth asks
