TEXT: "The Superhero in the Alley" [SCENE_BREAK] [Aerial view of Washinton D.c.] Voice of a man on the radio: 7:30 right now. Coming up, a recap of a disturbing story- Man 2:...the skeletal remains discovered by a group of sixth-grade students in Anacostia. Woman: The remains have not yet been identified, according to police and there's no word as to wether foul play is suspected. [Cut to inside the truck of a TV station. The reporter woman appears on a screen. The camera then shift and we can see the woman standing outside the truck] Reporter woman: Dale, the word most repeated by the young witnesses we spoke to: "horror". As in it looked like a horror movie. [Sirens wailing] Voice: Nah we're going to be going for another take. [Booth and FBI deputy director, Cullen, appears walking out of the alley] BOOTH: I hate press cases. CULLEN: Yes sir. More than three cameras show up, some homicide detective kicks it up to his captain who kicks it up to the chief, who kicks it to the F.B.I.- BOOTH: And you - bang - kick it down to me. Which I thank you for, sir - the opportunity. [They stop at the crime scene yellow tape] CULLEN: Booth, I want this closed. I don't want to pick up next Sunday's Post and read "Church kids find mystery corpse dressed for Halloween, F.B.I. remains clueless". BOOTH: I garantee you won't read that, sir. Okay? I-I'm on it. [Brennan and Zack arrive] Bones. Reporter woman: A body left to rot- BRENNAN: Got here as soon as I could. BOOTH: Yeah. Thanks for coming. I pull you from anything important? [They walk toward the crime scene] BRENNAN: A 9,600 year old Caucasoid female skeleton was found in the Kunlun Moutains in China last month.
