This takes place Change In The Game up; but, then again, most of my stories take place after Change In The Game. It's rated "t" for language and some violence.

I don't own Bones.

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

The body was found by a sugar cane farmer in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana. He had been cutting sugar cane and one of his field workers noticed the body when it got picked up with the cane and was being put in the sugar cane hauler. T-Fred Roberts, the sugar cane farmer, was not happy. He called the sheriff's office and a deputy came out to see what the fuss was about. Deputy John Richard wasn't happy either when he found out that T-Fred Roberts had found a body that had been chopped up with his sugar cane. He called the Sheriff. Sheriff Tom Leblanc was definitely not happy when he came out and saw the body.

"Damn, T-Fred," Sheriff Leblanc said, "you couldn't find the body before you chopped him up?"

T-Fred gave Sheriff Leblanc a baleful look, "May, I threw my guts up when I found the bits in my cane. You think I would chop up a body in my cane if I could prevent it?"

"Alright, don't get excited," the sheriff said. "I'll just call the coroner out and have him look at it."

"Good luck with dat," T-Fred said.

The coroner, Bill Castille, was definitely not happy either when he saw the body. He collected all of the body parts, large and small, that he could find along with anything that may have been on the body when it was chopped up. He also collected some of the sugar cane and surrounding soil. He originally thought that the victim had probably got drunk and wandered into the field, collapsed and died. An incident just like it had happened about five years ago over in Iberia Parish. After looking closer at the body parts, he found that there were a hell of a lot of broken bones. Being chopped up wouldn't have accounted for all of the broken bones and massive bruises that he was seeing.

Bill also estimated that the victim had only been dead for about 24 hours. He knew that T-Fred had been cutting his cane fields for over a month, so someone thought they could get rid of the body by moving it into a sugar cane field that was going to be cut. The murderer probably thought that the field would be burned first and then cut. Whoever it was didn't know that T-Fred didn't do that anymore. He used the new sugar cane cutters. You don't have to burn the field to cut them anymore.

He had a lot of pictures taken of what he considered to be a crime scene. He then had all of the evidence collected and brought back to his office. When he laid out the body and put it together like a jigsaw puzzle, he really could see that the man had been severely beaten. His skull have been crushed with some kind of heavy object. It was probably the cause of death. He took a lot of pictures of the victim. He made copies of the man's finger prints. Thankfully, the hands were still intact and the fingers were in pretty good shape. He bagged the boots and the shredded clothes that the victim had been wearing. The body didn't have any ID on him, no wallet, nothing to identify who he was. The only thing he found on the body besides his boots and clothes was a St. Christopher medal. He bagged it and put it with the shredded clothes and boots. He sent the fingerprints to the Sheriff's office and had him run them through the National Database. Something might turn up. He hoped it did. In the mean time, he bagged up his John Doe and put him in a drawer in his autopsy room and waited to see if the Sheriff could find out who he was.

He didn't have to wait long.

Does this sound interesting? Let me know thanks.
