Angela's words stabbed through Brennan Hard. Very Hard. She was now certain that the murders were her fault. They were all related to her. They were all murdered the same way her mother was murdered.

"Sweetie, I know it's hard to know that this is all related to you and I know you're feeling guilt. You're feeling guilty this all happened because of you but it didn't. It isn't your fault. You have to know that." Angela was a really great friend who supported Brennan wherever and whenever she needed it.(A/N: I wish my friends were like that.) Angela was trying to erase Brennan's pain, though she knew it was impossible, she at least tried to ease her pain, " Listen, the letter in your dad's hand was found right after we I.D. him but Hayley. Well, Hayley's letter was found when we found her body and I.D. her too. Listen, I told you once and I'm telling you again, it's not your fault."

"It is. I know it is! It's all my fault!" Brennan's words were barely understandable with all her sobbing. She blurted her words out knowing the only people that could and would hear and feel her pain were her loyal squints and her one and only Booth.

"No, it's not. Okay. We'll find who did this and he'll pay. I promise, okay?" Booth couldn't handel watching his bones drown in pain and he does nothing about it. He was trying his best to help and he got a little too invovled in the situation. He was even more furious at the murderer than Brennan was, even though Brennan wasn't that mad. She's just depressed.

Angela handed Both letters to Booth, knowing he wanted to read them first even though Brennan had that right but she still didn't argue. She was completely fine with Booth taking the letters first. They were that attached together.

"Bones, do you want me to read it out for ya?" Booth knew she was too weak to read the letters herself so he asked this question, already knowing the answer.

"Yes, and Angela can you stay here, please?" Brennan needed her best friend by her side in that moment. She didn't know what was writting in those letters and she didn't want to be alone while Booth read them.

Angela was just about to leave when she heard Brennan's words and she turned back and gave her friend a hug. She, then, took a seat beside Brennan and was ready to listen as Booth read out the letters.

"Okay, this is Max's letter. Here it goes." he exhaled loudly, then started reading the letter.

Hi Sweetie,

I love you and I'll always do. I know I haven't been there for you so many years but it's been hard for me too. I said it once and I'll say it again, I love you sweetheart. I know my death doesn't matter to you and it doesn't make a big difference in your life 'cause I haven't been involved in your life so much but I always loved you and I want you to know that darling. We all loved you, Russ, You mother, Me and your whole family. I left you somehting with this letter 'cause I know I'll never see you again but I'm probably laying in your lab right now while anthropologists are examining my body. Anyways, The point of this letter is to tell you that I love you, sweethear. I love you.

Your daddy, Max

Brennan's eyes were now full of tears. She didn't want to let them out because she always thought her dad didn't deserve one precious tear that left her eye but she couldn't help but sob at the thought of him.

Angela saw the pain and anger in Brennan's eyes and she knew a hug would help. She noticed she's been giving her too many hugs today but that's what friends are for now aren't they.

Booth wanted to sit down beside her and give her that reassuring hug he always gave her when she needed it but before he could, Tempe asked him to go on. She demanded he would go on. He could do nothing but do what she asked at a time like this.

" This is from Hayley." He gave out a loud sigh and started to read.

Hi Auntie,

I love you so much and mommy loves you too, and daddy too. I miss you auntie tempie.

Bye.

The letter was as simple as it can get but it reached Brennan heart with the words of a young child dying because of her. Booth wasn't donw yet. There was acard with the letter. He pulled it out of its envelope and handed it to Brennan. It was the same one. The same one she had given her when Russ come to town to visit Hayley when she was sick. The memories drifted through her mind, reminding her of the good and bad times she has been through with her family. Surprisingly, every recent memory had Booth in it. She wondered why he was involved in her life so much.

Another hug was needed but this time, she needed it from Booth. He stepped forward and opened his arms and she stood up and ran straight to him, like a frightened child running to his mother's arms.

Her tears falling down her face and darkening the fabric of his clothing, His arms around her tight, not letting go of her for eternity-He hoped-. They looked as beautiful as ever together. Both Brennan and Booth wished this moment lasted for ever but not every wish comes true. At that instint, Booth's phone rang and the resonating sound made both of them push back and look straight to the ground. The resonance wouldn't stop so Booth pulled the phone out of his pocket and saw shinning, bright screen flashing non-stop. It was Rebecca. He clicked the answering button.

"Hi." Rebecca, obviously, didn't know she was calling at a really bad time.

"Bad timing, Rebecca." Booth voice had anger in it but was still a whisper that no one in the room heard him.

"Sorry but Parker wanted to see you and I couldn't just say no and I wanna spend soe time alone with my boyfriend." Rebecca sounded sorry but she still wanted her child to get what he wanted and she wanted her quality time with her boyfriend.

"Okay, drop him by tomorrow. I gotta go now, bye." Booth didn't even wait for Rebecca's answer. He closed the phone and turned back to Brennan who seemed broken in the inside like shattered glass on harsh, tile floor.

Angela gave him an 'I'm-gonna-leave-you-two-alone' look and stood up to leave Brennan's side empty like it has been since she was fifteen, but only to have Angela replaced with Booth by her side.

"I'll go check some files on the case. Booth" She gave him a 'This is a one-in-a-million-chance' looked and turned, shut the door, to leave the two love birds alone in Brennan's office once again.

Booth didn't move. He was worried that any action was going to cause trouble at this moment. Brennan's looked up to meet the worried gaze of two beautiful, brown eyes. He knew he couldn't leave her alone. Her eyes, her look, her whole self was too sweet and innnocent that he couldn't bear the thought of him just leaving her alone to work on and examine members of her family's bodies.

"Bones, you need to come to my place cause for all we know, that sonovabitch might be coming after you next." Booth stood up, not waiting for an help out a hand that she could do nothing in response but take. He lead the way to his car, opened the passenger's seat as he always did since they met, closed it, walked to his side of the car, got in and turned the engine on. He drove to his place in uncomfertable silence. The usual glances were exchanged between the two and they would both ignore them, trying to convince theirselves that it was nothing, but not succeeding.

After the uncomfertable but not very long ride to Booth's house, they both got out of the SUV and headed towards the apartment. Booth put his hands in his pocket to try and find the key for his apartment. The first pocket was empty, the second one was too. He looked in the pockets of his coat to find nothing.

"Don't tell me you lost those keys too." Brennan said it but was, surprisingly, smiling. It wasn't the happy kind of smile. She put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a key. She pushed it into the lock and it was a perfect fit. He looked at her in a questioning look. She knew he was asking, 'where did you get those keys from?' but without words.

"You gave me a copy of your keys, remember?" Booth smiled back at her but was still not very sure he gave her a copy. Brennan left the key in the lock but didn't turn it, unsure of what was waiting for her behind those closed doors. Was it a body of another one of my beloved but mysterious family? She asked herself. She turned to look at the only person who would give her the answer to which she should open the door or not. The answer was a yes. A downright yes. She turned the keys and unlocked the door, stepped into her unknow faith. He felf something moving behind her. She turned swiftly just to here his whisper, " Clam down, it's just me." She turned back, this time she felt someone moving infront of her. She tried to see through the darkness but could only see a figure of a person. It was getting closwer. She didn't exactly know what it was but she was so sure it was getting closer to her with every breath she took. Out of nowhere, a hand took hold of her wrist. The touch was unfamiliar. It was surely not Booth's touch but if it wasn't then who was it.

Her first reaction was a scream. Booth heard her. He turned straight to the switch, turned the lights on and he could only be shocked at what he saw. Or who he saw.
