Thank you for reviewing my story. You really make my day when you do.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

The DNA results had come back for the victim found in Pennsylvania. The results were positive and the victim was indeed Hank Latrell. Cam had run the tests twice and then called Judge Latrell's office to see if she could find out where Hank was supposed to be and why no one knew he was missing. Talking to Hank's secretary, Cam had found out that Hank Latrell had gone on a fishing trip with a friend of his. They had planned on fishing at some cabin that Hank's friend owned in Minnesota. The judge was expected back from his trip at the end of the week. This trip was an annual event and the judge was always gone for two weeks.

Somehow Hank Latrell had been lured to his death and his body had been dumped in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Cam had contacted the wife of Hank's fishing buddy and as far as Betty Stitts was concerned her husband, Martin, was fine. She expected him back at the end of the week. She had also told Cam that her husband left his phone in his truck and never used it during the two weeks he was gone. When Martin Stitts went on vacation, he really went on vacation. Cam had not told Betty about Hank. She had just told Betty who she was and that she was trying to determine when Judge Latrell would be back in the D.C. area.

Cam found out where the cabin was located and contacted the Sheriff's office and asked him to send out a deputy to check on Martin and to have Martin call the Jeffersonian. The deputy had found Martin dead in his cabin. The deputy who found Martin said that there was no obvious cause of death. Cam made arrangements to have the body sent to the Jeffersonian.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cam knew Booth and she knew that she needed to be very careful how she was going to tell him; because, yes, she needed to be the one to tell him about his friend. Walking back into her office, Cam sat down and went over in her mind what she needed to do. Breathing in a deep breath, Cam called Brennan.

"Brennan"

Hesitant to proceed, Cam paused and then said, "Dr. Brennan, how are you doing today?"

Puzzled, Brennan said, "Why are you calling me? Is there is something wrong? Is Booth ok?"

Seeing her mistake, Cam said, "Booth is fine. I'm sorry. I know I don't normally call you; but, I need to ask you to do me a favor. I need to give some bad news to Booth and I want you to be here when I do it."

Concerned at Cam's tone of voice, Brennan said, "What bad news?"

Grimacing, Cam said, "We finally ID'd the body that was found in Bedford County and I think it would be better if you were here when I tell Booth. Booth knew the victim and I can't tell him who it was over the phone. As soon as you get here, I plan on calling Booth and tell him to come over here. I'm going to tell him who the victim is when he arrives."

Shaking her head, Brennan said, "I don't understand. Who is the victim?"

Sighing, Cam said, "Hank Latrell."

Closing her eyes for a minute, Brennan then opened them and looked at Christine who was lying in her crib. "I will of course come in as soon as possible."

Nodding her head, Cam said, "Thank you Dr. Brennan."

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

Booth had been talking to Charlie about some research he needed done for a case he had been working on for the last few weeks when his phone rang.

"Booth."

Trying to sound as normal as possible, Cam said, "Booth, I need you to come over to the Jeffersonian as soon as you can. We've ID'd the body that was found in Bedford County."

A little impatient, Booth said, "I'm swamped Cam, just tell me who it is and email me what you have. I'll look at it as soon as I can."

Shaking her head, Cam said, "I really need you to come over here. Hodgins found something on the map that was in the victim's pack and we're pretty sure that this may have something to do with Pelant."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "I'll be there as soon as I can."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Brennan sat in Cam's office with Christine lying on the couch next to her while Angela hovered near Cam's doorway waiting for Booth to come in. Seeing Booth walk through the main entrance, Angela stepped into the room and walked over to where Cam was sitting. Turning to face the door, Angela saw the look of surprise on his face when Booth saw Brennan sitting on Cam's couch.

Smiling, Booth said, "Hey Bones. I didn't expect to see you here. Visiting?"

Nodding her head, Brennan said, "Yes, Cam asked me to come in and visit with her this afternoon."

Suspicious, Booth turned to look at Cam and said, "Bones is on maternity leave right now. Just because Pelant may be involved in the death of this victim doesn't mean you should bother Bones about it."

Shrugging her shoulders, Cam said, "I knew she'd want to know about it. She'll be back to work next week and I thought she needed to know."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "Ok, who's the victim? Why the mystery?"

Standing up, Cam said, "There isn't an easy way to say this; so, I'm just going to say it. It's Hank Latrell."

Hearing a roaring in his ears, Booth sat down abruptly on the floor. Looking up at Cam with a look of shock on his face, Booth said, "No, Hank went fishing last week. He went to Minnesota. He wasn't even in Pennsylvania. It's a mistake."

Shaking her head, Cam said, "I'm sorry, Booth. It isn't a mistake. I ran the DNA twice. It's Hank."

Feeling sick, Booth pushed himself off of the floor and stood up. Swaying a little, Booth walked over to the couch and sat down next to Brennan.

Brennan seeing the distress on Booth's face put her arms around Booth and said, "I'm sorry Booth."

Swallowing hard, Booth leaned against Brennan and said, "I, I, Do you know what happened to him? How did he die?"

Staring at Booth, Cam said, "His neck was broken."

Shaking his head, Booth asked, "How do you know that Pelant has something to do with this?"

Glancing at Angela, Cam said, "Hodgins opened up the map that was in the pack and found some writing on it." Nodding at Angela, Cam said, "Angela recorded the map and has enhanced it so we can see the wording better. It's a little smeared on the map."

Nodding her head, Angela walked across the room and gave Booth a copy of the enhanced picture of the map.

Taking the picture, Booth looked down and saw writing on the map in bloody red letters: Ask Agent Booth who I am. Ask him what I did.

Staring at the picture, Booth felt himself grow cold. Looking up, Booth said, "Hank was one of the judges that commuted the sentences of some of the informants that Pelant blew the whistle on."

Oooooooooooooooooooo

What do you think of this so far? Does this seem interesting?

trtlsoup2001 - Thanks for the heads up. I went back and corrected it.
