Sorry for the lack of updating. I've been busy because I have tons of work. But here is your chapter. It is very long because I feel very sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. So, here you go.
When they arrived at the Lincoln Memorial, news vans were already parked outside flashing cameras and videotaping what they could see beyond the Caution tape. Booth flashed his badge to the guard and he lifted up the tape so Booth and Brennan could get by. When they arrived inside the Lincoln Memorial, Booth felt betrayed. There, sitting next to Lincoln's left leg, was a rotting corpse. "Hey" Brennan yelled at the FBI agents retrieving the body. "Be careful with that. I don't want anything ruined." Booth chuckled. That's my Bones he thought. While putting on her gloves, she stopped. "What's the matter Bones?" Brennan let out a big gasp and held out her left hand in front of her. "I just can't believe I'm going to be Mrs. Booth in less than a week." Booth let out a smile. 5 more days he thought inside his mind, until I hold the hands of Mrs. Seeley Booth.
When the body was finally brought down from its original position, Booth felt like hurling the hot dog he ate before getting the call that he had a case. But Brennan looked the least bit disturbed and bent down to examine the body. "Male, looks like he was in his adolescent years, African American…" Now Booth understood why the body was there at the monument. Since Lincoln was the president during the Civil War and tried to set the African Americans free from slavery. "Booth, did you get that all down? Booth? BOOTH!" Booth turned to see Brennan staring up at him with a concerned look on her face. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Want these remains sent to your mother ship?" Brennan looked confused. "I don't know what that means?" "The lab, Bones. Do you want these remains sent to the lab?" "Yes and don't be so bossy?"

Brennan walked into her office taking off her gloves after examining the body. She looked up to find her fiancée on her computer looking at her files.
"Trying to read my story without permission?" Booth froze and turned around to see Brennan with her arms crossed. "You know you could have asked me if you could read it." Booth rolled his eyes.
"Sure Bones, like the time you told me when we were going out that I would be able to read your story before anyone because we were a couple and yet, you didn't allow me to read anything."
"Well, what you wanted to read I didn't really think you would like."
"Like our sex scenes?
"For the last time Kathy and Andy aren't us!" Brennan said in a huff.
"Sure Bones, sure. Anyway while I'm here, do you have anything on the body?"
"Yeah, Angela found the identity of the victim as Charlie Litton. He was just reported missing this morning. He suffered a blow to the head and Zach is trying to figure out the weapon now. Hodgins found out that he was killed somewhere close to the Memorial. Cam found nothing inside the victim that could kill him and Angela is running the scene scenario."
"Wow that's a mouthful."
"Tell me about it."
"Well I gave Sweets the file and he says that Charlie wasn't killed because of his race. The murder knows the victim and waited for him and struck him from behind. I still don't understand how Sweets can tell the difference."
"I don't either Seeley" Brennan said while taking off her coat and grabbing her purse. "Wanna grab some lunch?" Booth got up and kissed Brennan on the forehead. "I would love to go, but I'm going over John Barkmore the guard's house to ask him some questions, but I would love to make it up to you. Dinner at 7?"
"Course." Booth smiled and walked out of her office.
"And think I'm going to forgive you for looking at my story!" Brennan yelled out knowing Booth heard her.

Booth parked across the street from the guard's house and got out of the car. The house looked like in needed a paint job and some of the windows needed to be replaced. He walked across the street and came close to the house when he heard two people inside yelling at each other. He silently crept up the steps and came close to window where he could continue to listen.
"I had to kill a kid just to save your ass Larry!"
"It's not my fault John that a stupid kid was watching!"
"It's exactly your fault. Because your so lazy and don't pay attention to your surroundings, a kid was killed."
"Well, it's not like you used your hammer to kill the kid right?" There was silence for a couple of seconds. "You idiot! Now if we get caught, they are going to charge us of robbery and murder!"
"Well, it's your fault that you had to rob the jewelry store in the first place!"
"Not my fault that I'm in debt!"
"Um yeah, it kind of is since you keep getting in fights because of your constant violence."
"Well its not my fault people make fun of me because of my looks! Anyway, it is your fault that you killed that kid. It was your fault you agreed to this and use the Lincoln Memorial as a hideout."
"Well now if they find out I'm done for."
"Don't you mean us?"
Now Booth had enough proof to charge John and his accomplish with robbery and murder. When Booth made step, he landed with a big creek.
"Shit, someone's outside. Go find out who it is Larry." Booth tried to run but the door opened to find a bigger, taller and muscular guy blocking Booth's path. Booth turned to jump the fence, but Larry grabbed Booth by the jacket and pulled him down hard until he landed on the floor. Booth hit the flooring so hard that everything went black.
