"Okay, let's review the whole case, start to finish." Booth was standing in front of a whiteboard, Bones looking at him, the laptop on the table next to her on video call with the three others in the lab.

"First to die, Leon Puckerman. Deadbeat dad, basically just in the Puckerman's family life as a drain on their money. The daughter is too young, the mother too uninterested and has lived with him way too long to suddenly snap. Besides, if we should believe their word, her son saw his dad more recently than she did.

Noah Puckerman has the motive and the means, but we have no idea if he had the opportunity, as no one can say with certainty when Leon was murdered. If we presume that it happened the last time he was here, then Noah Puckerman has an alibi; he went to visit his grandmother at the home every Wednesday afternoon for years, we have several workers there that will testify to it.

Do we have anyone else that would have the motive for this?"

"Well" Hodgins took the word, a little carefully. "There is Hummel. He's Noah Puckerman's best friend; he could have taken out his father for him?"

"Yes, he could have. He is a skinny kid, but he could still have some serious muscle, so let's say he has both the means and the motive. He doesn't have an alibi for the evening, so let's presume he could have done it. Anyone else?"

Bones shook her head, as did the others, and they continued on.

"Okay, the next one to die. We think Jessie St. James is next, though due to being frozen, we can't really know for sure. He was the next one to disappear. In general, he wasn't a particularly nice person. He would step on anyone and anything to get what he wanted. Right before he vanished, he had done so to Rachel Berry-Fabray. She has the motive, and the means. She has an alibi, though, in the form of a "girls-weekend" after St. James had revealed what was going on, and four other people will testify to this, including Kurt Hummel's dad, Burt Hummel, whose home they stayed in. The same thing gives Hummel an alibi.

I would say that her wife, Quinn Berry-Fabray could have done this, but according to the other students at the school, at that time, the Berry-Fabrays really didn't get along all that well in school. The way the students tell it, they actually hated each other, and were fighting for the same boy.

"Next, we have David Karofsky. Bully, typical jock in a high school in Ohio, though he took it a step too far, sexually harassing and threatening a student with rape and murder. His head was bashed in, clearly in anger, which means this one might not actually have been planned.

Kurt Hummel is the one with the most obvious motive, but he had already moved schools to get away from Karofsky, so why would he suddenly decide to kill him, weeks after?

Noah Puckerman had the motive and the means, and I would gladly stick this to either or both of them, but they have alibis. Puckerman's football team had a match a few towns over, and both of them are caught several times on camera several times, Hummel in the stands. We have a teacher swearing up and down that Karofsky was in her last class at McKinley, meaning that neither Hummel nor Puckerman would have had the time to murder him.

He had been an ass to plenty others, however, so there are many people who could have taken him out in the end.

"Moving on to Blaine Anderson. He was all over a decent person, but had made a few very bad choices in his relationship. I haven't managed to get out of Hummel what happened, but I know something did. If we stay with this, Kurt Hummel had a motive; he had the means and also the opportunity. He has an alibi, but it's in the form of his fiancé."

"Could the fiancé or Puckerman have done it?" Angela broke in.

"No, Smythe, the fiancé is covered by the same alibi, and Puckerman was working.

"On to Artie Abrams. Mostly an okay guy, he had his bad moments, and one of them might have killed him. Brittany Pierce is the one who most obviously might have wanted to kill him, but I'm not sure if she's actually all there, and she doesn't seem like the sadistic sort, as cutting off his genitals seems extreme. From talking to the students at McKinley, her closest friends were Santana Lopez and Kurt Hummel, both covered under the same alibi Pierce is.

"William Schuester was next. He was a man pretending to be the good guy, but was in all honesty pretty bad. He set up a kid to blackmail him with it, he lusted after a fair few of his female students and used the glee club to reach his own goals.

Anyone in glee club could have a motive, really, so I started with alibis. We can count out Pierce, Chang, Cohen-chang, Puckerman, Hudson and Hummel, they all have solid ones. The Berry-Fabreys and Lopez has each other as alibis, however, which is a little shakier.

"Lastly, Ted Sanders. He was a man who in all fairness should have been sent to jail for raping at least three underage girls. Completely out of order with the others, this man was not a part of the life of any of the students in the New Directions. Several people would want to kill him. Hunter Clarington is the most likely candidate. Once again, however, the alibi trips us up. Sanders was seen leaving the school alive and arrive at home, which was the last anyone saw of him. Clarington was visiting a friend that weekend, and said friend's parents confirm this, as it was their son's birthday and it was a tradition. The friend, Sebastian Smythe, is the closest connection we have to the New Directions gang, as he is the fiancé of Kurt Hummel."

Booth took a break, taking a drink of water.

"Either we are dealing with a serial killer that completely changes his way of killing each time, someone who is all over the map, and manages to hide all the evidence that might take him down. They keep a watch and kill whoever they seem to find faults in. The red thread here is that all these people are 'bad' in some way or another.

We could be dealing with a group of people who have all killed at least one person, where no one is ratting the others out. One of them is probably the 'leader' so to say, and is the one that showed the others the place to bury, or at least helped them find it.

"I don't even want to know the statistics of this happening, and though I personally feel the last is extremely unlikely, several of these people give me bad vibes. On paper, Hummel or Puckerman is the most likely to have killed all of them, but those are actually the two that freak me out the least, and their alibis are solid for several of the murders.

Hunter Clarington freaks me out the most, but he didn't even live here when most of these people were killed."

He stopped talking, and a couple of minutes of silence fell as they all tried to make sense of it. Once again, Angela broke the silence.

"We're stuck, aren't we? We have done everything we can do with the evidence, and without any more murders, there won't be anything more coming in. Even if we figure out who did it, there is no way to prove it."

She stopped talking for a few seconds. "We can't actually solve this one, can we?

A few weeks earlier, the same day the mass grave was found, in an apartment rented under P.P.

"Guys, something's happened. They found the grave in Lima." Hunter Clarington looked out over the room.

In the chair at his left, Sebastian was sitting, Kurt sitting on the arm and leaning into him. On the couch next to them was Quinn and Rachel, newly married, Rachel playing with Quinn's blond hair as she leaned into the brunette, the two of them taking up the whole three-seater. Noah was leaning on his elbows on the back of the couch and Santana was standing next to him, arms crossed. When he told them the news he had just heard from Lima, the room filled with silent swears.

"Who found it? And who's gonna work it?" Kurt asked. Being the second-in-command, he was usually the one to ask. When they had all grouped together like this, they had all offered the lead to Kurt, but he wasn't interested. So he became the second whilst Hunter, natural leader that he was, took up the head.

"They found it when they started digging for a new foundation for something. They're sending in FBI."

Kurt sighed and closed his eyes. They had clashed with the FBI before, though the agents hadn't known it was them of course. That didn't mean they were looking forward to having their teenage alibis and motives checked out by the agency. "Shit."

"Yeah. We need to lay low for a while. I told the Mantos that we would have to delay the job from them, and they're not in a hurry, so it worked for them. Cartini canceled on us, they will come back to us if they need it."

Kurt spoke up again. "Guys, the important thing now is to not panic. We hid our tracks well, and they shouldn't be able to find anything. We will be questioned, of course, because of our connection to them, but just keep calm, act surprised and don't stress out."

Hunter nodded and looked around. "Yes, that's very important. Don't freak out of they come to talk to you, go over your alibis again, but don't be too quick to offer them up. It's been ten years, most people have to check to see what they did back then.

"Until this calms down, we can't meet up again, so everyone go back to your day job and don't take on any solo jobs for a while."

They all nodded before sneaking out of the apartment, going their separate ways for now. Hunter was the last one to leave, locking the door behind him. They had more kills between them than he could keep track of anymore; the bad guys would just have to live a little longer.
