It was about 45 minutes before the FBI arrived on the scene along with Abby, Hodgins, and Ducky. Brennan had stayed at the lab claiming that 'she has no place with flesh and muscle.' It was true, however her expertise could still help with the case. And honestly Booth wouldn't even be here if it wasn't Agent Gibbs who called him.
Booth immediately walked over to the car Gibbs was standing near. He momentarily glanced at the boy in the passenger seat who looked like he'd just seen a ghost.
Booth held out a hand for Gibbs to shake. "Good afternoon Agent Gibbs, I am FBI Agent Booth." Gibbs shook his hand briefly. "What exactly happened here. Booth pulled out a notepad and a pen.
"Rule number 3: double check." Gibbs answered disregarding the first part of the rule.
"In the report I faxed you I said that the FBI already collected all the evidence."
"Yet we still found a word carved into the ground that wasn't in your report."
Booth had no idea what he was talking about.
"We called you and your team on this case because of your experience with Haswari. Not so you could question our thoroughness. Maybe we should keep this case in FBI's jurisdiction."
Gibbs stared at him and spoke in a low voice. "I became involved in this case the moment two of my agent died. You're not going to get rid of me so easily."
"Okay but when you're in the FBI's courtyard, you play by my rules." Booth challenged him.
Gibbs stood his ground. "I only play by my own rules."
Booth internally chuckled. 'I could get used to this man.' He thought. Then he looked at the boy in the car again.
Gibbs followed Booth's line of sight. "This is Probationary Agent George O'Malley."
"I need to collect his statement too." Booth said.
"Good luck, the boy hasn't spoke a word to me since we left the scene."
Booth still opened the door and tried talking to him. After about 15 minutes, he gave up.
"If you're done pestering the boy, i'd like to drive him home." Gibbs said.
"Fine by me, but could you come to FBI Headquarters at 2300. That is when Mossad will arrive and we all discuss the details of the case."
Gibbs nodded and got into the car. He rolled down his window to say one last thing. "You may wanna check the perimeter before you go down there. I already made that mistake once."

Booth took Gibbs' advice before taking the 5 mile journey out there. He had FBI agents posted on the perimeter of the scene looking out for any snipers or suspects.
He saw the two bodies with similar holes in their heads. The woman's face was covered in splattered blood. They had used their badges to figure out there identities. It only took Ducky a few minutes to confirm that what Gibbs told Booth on the phone was true.
The bodies were placed in body bags. Once they were moved, Booth could see the word 'next' carved into the ground like Gibbs said. Several photos were taken on it. Samples of the soil with blood soaked into it were taken, just to confirm that they belong to the bodies. Four men with gurneys took the bodies to their vehicle for transportation to the lab. And after everything was secured at the crime scene, everyone left.

Ducky had completed both autopsies and recovered the bullets. he found two messages on each bullet luckily not in Hebrew.
He brought the bullets onto the platform, where Booth, Abby, and Hodgins were waiting.
"I have found a message on each bullet." Ducky took a picture of each bullet and uploaded them on to the monitor. Booth crowded Ducky at the monitor, staring at the message.
In clear English it said: 'See ya in three weeks' on one, and 'Temperance B. and Maura I.' on the other. Booth quickly left to search for Brennan.
"Who's Maura I." Abby asked.
"Why don't we find out." Jack said. He searched for women named Maura in the DC/Maryland area, and narrowed down the results with the last initial I.
There was only one file left. He clicked on it. "Here we go. Dr. Maura Isles, Medical Examiner at the Baltimore Police Department."
"Hey isn't that where the cop that Booth talked to is from?" Abby asked her husband.
"Yep, and shes coming here with his team this evening." He answered.
"We should track her phone then send someone to intercept her." Hodgins nodded. "And its gonna cost you a-."
"I know." Hodgins said as he left the platform and headed towards the exit.
Minutes later Booth and Brennan walked onto the platform in the middle of an argument.
"Booth I don't want to be put in a safe house." Brennan said.
"Its for your own safety. Pelant is still out there." Booth said concerned.
"He's just going to figure out where I am."
"Not if i'm there with you."
Brennan sighed. "Booth we both know that were better off here than in hiding."
"But still I-."
"Ahem." Booth was interrupted by Abby. "We found out who Maura I. is."
Booth looked around the platform. "Hey where's Hodgins. I thought I told you guys to stay together."
"Oh relax Booth, its just the gas station." Abby said.
'Gas stations could mysteriously blow up.' Booth thought.
"Anyway, Maura I. works at Baltimore PD as the Chief Medical Examiner." Abby started. "And we believe that she is coming to DC along with the other cops tonight."
"So you want me to intercept them." Booth concluded.
Abby nodded. "Yep as soon as I track her phone."
"I don't think I want to leave you squints alone again. But I have the perfect man for the job."
