A/N:Wow it's been awhile. Sorry about that. Had a little bit of writer's block, plus I've been busy with school. Now it's spring break and hopefully I'll be able to update more regularly while I'm out. Thanks to all of you who left reviews. One other thing, a little BB in this chapter.

It was eight o'clock when Angela came into work and the first place she went was to her best friend's office, who she knew would still be there, but probably asleep. When she walked in she found her prediction to be right.
"Temp, sweetie, get up." Angela said gently while trying to wake Brennan up. Brennan woke up; feeling a little disoriented at first, but quickly discovered where she was.
"Why are you still here?" Angela asked, although she knew the answer.
"Just wanted to finish up some stuff on the bones. I must have fallen asleep." Brennan lied as she wiped her face, in order to get off any marks that were left from when she had been resting her head on her arm.
"You weren't waiting for Booth to call then?" Angela questioned with a smile on her face.
"If he had called while I was here then it would have been by coincidence." Brennan said.
"What would have been by coincidence?" a masculine voice said. Both Angela and Brennan knew whom exactly it belonged to though.
"What are you doing back, Booth?" Brennan asked a little surprised.
"Did you miss me?" Booth asked with a grin. When he saw Brennan glaring at him he added, "I wasn't getting to far. I mean I was remembering stuff, but not stuff that would truly help the case. Plus I needed to get back."
"Well, we found something that might be interesting, more Zack did actually." Brennan said as she went over to the set of bones that were lying on the table. Booth followed close behind, but as he came up to the bones and looked up at the skull something happened. It looked almost like the skull had gained some flesh and looked exactly like what his brother had looked like and it said, "Seeley." Of course that freaked him out and he stumbled back a little, while continuing to look at the skull that now had no skin on it.
"Is something wrong, Booth?" Brennan asked as she looked over at Booth, who actually looked terrified.
"You mean you didn't see it?" Booth asked looking at her. It was at that moment that Brennan realized how tired he actually looked.
"Have you been sleeping, Booth?" Brennan asked, surprising both Booth and Angela a little.
"Yeah. Hence the weird remembering dreams." Booth said. He really was tired, but he didn't dare close his eyes. He wasn't quite sure what he'd see.
"Well, you look like you haven't been sleeping." Brennan said.
"You know she's right. You look awful, sorry, but you do." Angela said.
"I'll be fine. Now how about you show me what you wanted to show me." Booth said as he, once again walked toward the bones.
"I don't know why I didn't notice this before but the rib cage seems to be compressed, almost like it had been pushed down by something. Water maybe." Brennan said as she pointed to the rib cage.
"So you think he was drowned or something?" Booth asked, trying to stay professional.
"Yeah I do." Brennan said as she continued to look at the bones, but while doing so she slowly reached over and grabbed Booth's hand.
When he felt her hand in his, he looked up at her, but she didn't make and facial expression letting him know anything, so he just held her hand and gave it a squeeze, thanking her in a way.
A/N: Sorry that was a little short. If you guys have any ideas, please let me know. They would be widely appreciated.
