Author's note – Almost done with all the suspense, the story will head in another direction very soon. This chapter is another short one, but I thought it needed to stand alone. Please send reviews/ I love them and the more I get the more inspiration I receive.

Broadsky sipped at his morning cup of coffee watching the 9 o'clock news.

This just in. A cave in at George Washington National Forrest has claimed three lives, injuring 7 others. It is reported that an FBI agent died while waiting for rescue during a previous cave in. During a rescue attempt it is rumored that his partner who had previously escaped the cave was killed during a 2nd cave in as well as a rescue worker caught in a landslide. Police have not yet released the names of the killed and injured until family can be notified.

Broadsky felt a small amount of remorse over Dr Brennan's death. It reminded him of Paula. They were both innocent, but collateral damage. He had not wanted to kill the woman, when he had heard of her survival over the radio he had been a bit relieved.

Stupid woman insisted on trying to save her Partner. She was Loyal too. If Booth would have just listened none of this would have had to happen. Why should he care that he was removing the filth from this world. These weren't innocent people he was killing. They were all criminals.

You would think being a sniper and in the FBI that Booth would have appreciated what he had done. Hell, he had killed the woman who almost killed him and his partner. He should have been thanked, not have a gun pointed at him.

The next day he picked up his morning paper. The front page contained a large photo of Temperance Brennan.

Successful Author and Forensic Anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan Dies Heroically

Dr Temperance Brennan died in a cave in yesterday when struck by a falling Boulder. Two days earlier she and her Partner FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth were injured during a cave in. Despite their injuries Special Agent Booth assisted Dr Brennan's escape to retrieve help. Dr Brennan half clothed, due to using her clothing to make bandages for herself and Special Agent Booth, walked miles through the night through rain, sleet and snow. She was found unconscious on the side of the road. She returned with rescue workers to lead an expedition to save her partner. A second landslide occurred during rescue where Dr Brennan was struck by a rock and drowned in water that had collected in the cave. Her partner died before rescue was completed. The funeral will take place at 2pm two days from today. The funeral will be open to the public.

The article went on to describe her literary works and her field of expertise. Broadsky thought for a moment. The only FBI agent that knew him was Booth, not that he thought many agents would be there. He would have to scout the area. He felt a strong desire to pay his respects to the woman.

Two days later, most of the Jeffersonian and fans assembled for the funeral of their esteemed colleague. In the front row were the family and team mates of Temperance Brennan. Broadsky had been right; he didn't see any sign of FBI presence. He moved to stand towards the rear of the crowd, quite a turn out for the socially inept woman.

Promptly at 2pm the service began. It was a good service if you liked those kinds of things. With these two out of the way, they would never catch him now. Other then the fact that he was responsible for these three deaths, he doubted law enforcement would care. He was helping them; of course he was paid much better. Broadsky mingled into the group to pay his respects. He walked by her father who leaned heavily on a cane. Father's shouldn't have to bury their children.

Broadsky felt a sharp pain across the back of his skull, then another and another. He tried to shake the disorientation in his head, but fell to the ground. He could hear the commotion and felt several impacts to his ribs as he was kicked.

Brennan's father had done his research, he found a couple decent photographs to recognize the man. He didn't care if the FBI had agents scattered about. He was going to take care of the man who had hurt his daughter. He struck the man with the cane he had brought with him. He kept hitting him until Hodgins and Dr Sweets took it away. He continued his assault with his feet until, the undercover agents swarmed the area. They promptly handcuffed the injured man and detained the angry father.

At long last the sniper had been caught. Brennan and Booth's friends and colleagues all wish they had been able to get the satisfaction that Max had been able to get. All of them would have liked to have a piece of the man, but they all respected the law and those who enforced it more than Max Keenan. Max had improved though. The last person who threatened his children's safety ended up stabbed, gutted and burned.

Jared had chose not to attend the funeral as he knew he would have no self control if he had seen the man. After what the man had done to Seeley and Temperance, the man would not have made it away alive.

Cam phoned to notify him that Broadsky was in custody. He stared at the bottle of scotch sitting on the counter of his brother's apartment. He shook his head. No he couldn't go down that road. Seeley would be pissed if he began drinking if he were there.

He had never really looked at his apartment before. He saw so may little things that no one but he would find the significance in. Little things that brought back memories from their childhood.

The team went back to the lab. They needed to go over all the bodies and evidence to try and find something to connect Broadsky to all these crimes. They had the arms dealer to say he created the smart bullet, but since it was never used it was circumstantial at best. The only definite crime they had was him blowing up the trailer and injuring booth. The FBI forensics team was trying to match bomb fragments from the mine to that bomb as well. They wished they were the ones evaluating the evidence.

After everything that has happened, they wanted this man to go down for everything. They hoped for the death penalty. The team was exhausted. They had been through so much already. The funeral was enough to suck what life they had left out of them.

The lab seemed empty, almost foreign to them without Brennan's presence. Booth's presence was well missed as well. Six years they had worked together. Six years they learned to respect and love each other. They were a family
