Chapter 1
Brennan was looking through her pile of mail and noticed the envelope from her old high school. She knew what it was without opening it. It was another class reunion. As she never bothered to attend the last two reunions she knew of no reason to attend this one. Of course it has been fifteen years, but since she never really made any friends in high school other than the teachers she saw no reason to go. As she was getting ready to toss the envelope into the trash, Angela walked into the room.
“Why are anda throwing that letter away without opening it, Brennan?”
“Angela it is only another invitation to a reunion and anda know that I have no reason to go.”
“At least open it up to make sure.”
“Just to make anda happy, I will open it up but it still means I am not going.” Brennan then opened the envelope and along with the invitation to the fifteen tahun class reunion was a note. The note was hand written and it was from one of her former teachers. Brennan read the note and looked at Angela.
Angela asked. “What did the letter say?”
“It is a note from my old science teacher, Mr. Schneider. He is asking me to come to the reunion because he needs my help.”
“Does he say why he needs help?”
“No but I am going to go because he was the one teacher who helped me when my parents disappeared and got me into college.”
“Sweetie, the invitation shows that the reunion is going to be a weekend event at a resort in the Chicago area. I could come along as your guest if anda want company.”
“Thanks. I may need some company.”
Brennan then looked at the invitation and noticed that the reunion was scheduled for three weeks from this Friday and that it was to be from Friday night through Sunday. She noted the number to contact and called to make reservations for herself and a guest. She knew that normally she would not even think about attending but because Mr. Schneider asked her to come she decided to go. Hopefully she will not have to be at the reunion to long because she did not have any fond memories of her years in high school. She was recalling how the other kids would tease her and made fun of her especially after her parents disappeared. They had berkata hurtful things like because of her, her parents left and would not come back until she was gone. They also poked fun at her for being a nerd and a geek. Sweets would say that they might be part of the reason she does not open up her feelings to others. I hate psychology.
Over the selanjutnya couple of weeks, she concentrated on her work and put the reunion in the back of her mind. She did try to call Mr. Schneider to find out what he wanted to see her about but could not reach him. She put that problem in another compartment for now and was concentrating on the femur bone that was found in a national preserve. She was trying to determine the age of the bone when Angela interrupted her train of thought.
“Sorry to interrupt but have anda managed to contact your old teacher about what he wanted. The reunion is this weekend, Brennan.”
“I have called him several times in the last three weeks and no one is picking up the call. His voice mailbox is full and he does not have an email address. I would have asked Booth to look into it but I don’t want to involve him until I know what it is about.”
“Brennan anda may want to involve Booth because anda have not been able to reach this teacher for three weeks and anda do not know why he wanted your help.”
“I’ll think about asking Booth but meanwhile I need to finish with this aging test.”
“Well Sweetie let’s hope it is nothing serious and let’s plan on having a fun weekend.”
“Angela, I booked our flight for 1:00 and we should arrive there at 2:45 our time which is 1:45 Chicago time. That should give us time to find Mr. Schneider before we have to get to the hotel.”
Angela left the room still feeling uneasy about the whole thing. She knew that Brennan would not ask Booth until she knows what the problem is but then it maybe to late to help Brennan’s teacher. She thought about it and went to go talk to Hodgins.
“Jack, do anda have a minute?” Angela asked.
“Yes, Angela what is it that anda want?”
“You know that Brennan and I are going to Chicago this weekend for her high school reunion but the real reason she is going is because one of her teachers asked her to come because he needs her help. She has not berkata anything to Booth about this and I am worried that there may be some problems which may mean we need his help. Do anda think I should say something to Booth?”
“Angela I think anda should at least give a head’s up to Booth because anda know how Dr. Brennan is, she may not realize what is happening until it is to late.”
With that Angela called Booth and let him know what is happening and that Brennan was not just going to her reunion but going to see an old teacher who needs her help.
After hearing what was happening this weekend, he cleared his calendar to make sure that he could go to Chicago in case bones needed him. He also made some inquiries about this teacher but there did not seem to be any problems that had been reported. He sat back in his chair and started to ponder what could the teacher want to see bones about. While he was thinking about it, Dr. Hodgins called and asked if Angela had called.
Booth answered. “Yes, Angela let me know about this weekend but I could not find anything about this teacher.”
“I don’t know about anda but I sure would want to be in Chicago this weekend just in case. We could fly up later on Friday and I can get us a room in the same hotel as Angela and Dr. Brennan. What do anda think?”
“I think we are going to Chicago. Don’t let bones know because I don’t want her thinking I’m checking up on her.”
