I wasn't going to carry on this story. But after all your kind comments and requests how could I not. Enjoy!
Brennan looked out of her office, the day she had equally dreaded and looked forward to had arrived. Booth knocked on the door frame, with a file in his hand.
"Hi Bones, we have a case" Holding up the file
"Okay, I'll just get my stuff"
The ride to the crime scene consisted of silence and discussion of the case, which was little as they didn't know much, yet. Brennan stared out the passenger window, looking at anything to distract her from Booth. They hadn't talked about it so she had no idea where she stood with him. The uncertainty was driving her insane; with no plausible explanation for any of the questions going through her head. She couldn't take it any longer and broke the silence.
"Booth, where do we stand with each other?"
That was his Tempe; she always went straight to the point "What do you mean?"
"What do we do about our history?"
He looked at her and saw the pleading in her eyes "Well, seeing as we are now partners, we know that we make a good team. So I think its best to leave the rest in the past"
"Okay" her mind at ease she returned to the window
They arrived at the crime scene. They got out the car and headed to the officer in charge.
"Hi, I'm Special Agent Seeley Booth with the FBI and this is Dr Temperance Brennan form the Jeffersonian"
Brennan waited as they talked about the crime scene and waited to be taken to the remains. The waiting was killing her, but she decided that it would be best not to piss off Booth on their first case.
Finally she was taken to the remains; a pang of excitement ran through her. She wondered what Booth would think. But she was also slightly nervous as she knew that if she slipped up on this, she would never be used in another case.
"This is a male ……… Caucasian………… late twenties early thirties …….. and from the lacerations on the ribs, I'd say a possible stab victim" She didn't like to jump to conclusions, but she knew logically it made the most sense and it might help with her first case.
"I need soil samples, and then the remains can be taken to the Jeffersonian"

Booth had dropped her off at the lab. She began her preliminary examination right away, then she let Hodgins collect particulates and Zach clean the bones. She was now doing her examination noting everything down and talking into her Dictaphone.
"Height 5"11 ……. Caucasian ……… Male ……… late twenties to early thirties ……factures on the radius and ulna that look like defence wounds …… he was stabbed twice in the chest by the lacerations on the ribs"
Once her examination was complete she did the tissue markers for Angela to do a sketch. Zach was given the job of comparing the lacerations on the ribs in the weapon database. Hodgins was still going through the particulates.
Later that day they gathered around the Angelator to show discuss their findings.
"This is our victim, Andrew Weathers. He is a business man in the DC area, reported missing by his wife" Angela tapped on the tab and produced a 3D image of the victim.
"From the bugs and the stage of decomposition the victim was found in I'd say he's been there a month" More tapping could be heard from Angela.
"The knife used is a Ka-Bar USMC Fighter. It is 7 inches long, has a partially serrated edge, with a buff polished edge blade is made from black Epoxy powder coated high carbon steel" Angela brought up an image of the knife and with the details found an approximation for the killer.
"The killer is approximately 6"1, right handed, from the wounds it suggests that he may have known his killer so it could have happened from an argument"

Brennan arrived at the Jeffersonian before everyone else, not that this was unusual but she was in such a good mood because of her previous days work, she was slightly disappointed she had no one to share it with. She went to her office to start typing her report and finalizing her notes, waiting for a certain FBI agent to turn up.
At 9.00am Booth made his way to Brennan's office, he knocked on the door frame.
"Hi, Bones" giving her his charm smile
"Hi, Booth" returning his smile with enthusiasm
"So, what have you found out?"
"The victim is Andrew Weathers; he has been dead for about a month. The cause of death was a stab wounds to the chest, caused by a Ka-Bar USMC Fighter knife. The killer is approximately 6"1, right handed. There is evidence that he may have known his killer"
Booth listened to her explanation; there is no way she can know the murder weapon and give a description of the killer from these bones, no way. "Are you sure?"
Brennan's good mood dissipated at those words "Yes, I've checked everything, there is nothing wrong with my findings" Booth noticed her emphasise on nothing and the anger rising in his voice. "You don't believe me, do you?" The thought pained her inside, but she needed an answer.
"Look Bones I'm going to be honest with you, your good at your job and so am I. But what you've found out I just don't give much credence, all you did was look at his bones and x-rays"
That was it; rage engulfed Brennan "Get out of my office, and don't even think about coming back. You'll regret this, Booth" Brennan couldn't believe this was the same person she used to love. The thought that she had once cared for him, sickened her. She was so angry she didn't think that she had ever felt so enraged. Brennan finished her report, typing viciously at the keyboard.
One week later
Brennan had gone to Guatemala to identify victims of genocide. Hundreds of miles away was a very guilty Booth, he had found the killer and weapon. To his dismay it was to her exact specifications. He regretted how he had treated her with so little respect, he had read her book, maybe he thought she had found the facts though fictitious methods, and that's why he hadn't believed in her. He tried once again to try and contact her, but all he got was her irritating nerd of an assistant.
Well you know the rest from here
