Only, before she could say anything, Nate had found something else.

Little by little, tiny details were turning up on the internet, and that might be what helped them.

“She was stabbed to death, and get this,” he said. “Someone stuck her forty times.”

Hearing that, Booth whistled.

“That’s anger. That’s not just a break-in. That’s someone hates your guts.”

Yes, yes, it was.

“Someone who was pretty pissed had to have wanted to do maximum damage, because after the stabbing, the house was burned down.”

Getting out, they headed toward the door, and Lucian unlocked it. Once inside, they re-secured it and found the family in the waiting area.

Everyone was watching them, curiously.

“You guys look like you’ve lost your best friends,” Booth stated. “What happened?” he asked, worried about them.
