The phone had not stopped ringing since she came into the office. It seemed like Monday mornings were the most social for Dr. Temperance Brennan. Although they finally had reeled in the "Gutter" as the FBI had named him so delicately, the latest murderer who luckily Booth and Bones had stopped before he abducted his next fisherman, it seemed like the paperwork had only begun for the case.
"I'll get the report to you by the end of the day, I assure you" Dr. Brennan said as she hung up the phone. "I guess it's going to be a long Monday" she thought to herself as she settled into her chair at her desk.
Just as she was slipping off her shoes there was a knock on the door. Waiting for no reply the door whipped open and she found none other than Seeley Booth abruptly entering the room.
"So it looks like we have a fun day of paperwork ahead of us" he stated sarcastically while plopping himself down on one of the couches in the well lit office.
"tell me about it, that was the third call this morning about when the reports will be done, and its only 8:30! I didn't even think that your agency opened until 9." Brennan said as she picked up her files on the case, making room in her hand to grab her coffee on her way over to the sitting area.
"They all are on their jobs when it's time to finally lock someone away. After all the stunts the Gutter pulled they want to lock him up and throw away the key. And they want to make sure our reports are flawless, so I guess we should get to it Bones" Booth said making himself right at home while he discarded his jacket and shoes.
After 6 long hours of monotonous paperwork, Booth and Bone finally had their reports finished and it looked like the agency would have an air tight defense against the "Gutter".
"Well Bones it looks like we are finally done! What a weekend it's been, I think it's time we had some relax time." Booth said as he got up off of the couch, stretching as if he had been napping all day.
"I agree Booth, relaxing will defiantly be nice. A pair of skeletal remains came in about two days ago that I would love to start working on. They are ancient remains that date back…"
"No Bones. You don't get it do you?"Booth huffed as Bones stared at him confused.
"We were talking about relaxing and I simply agreed. I find examining remains very therapeutic."
"Ah Bones! That's not the kind of relaxing I was talking about! You know go home, order some food, watch some football, take a bath. These are all things that most normal people do to relax!" Booth shouted as he motioned around with his hands.
"Well Booth, what one person finds to be relaxing will vary according to their likes and hobbies. It differs from person to person and I find that to be normal." Bones said as she straightened up the contents on her desk and sat down to put her shoes on.
"There is no way you are staying here! We just worked straight through the weekend! That does it, let's go!" Booth shouted as he grabbed Bone's jacket with one hand and placed the other on the small of her back ushering her out of her office.
"Those guys have been dead for a bit, another afternoon won't kill them."
"Booth they are already dead. I don't deal with living…"
"Bones…a joke? It was just a joke!"
"Booth, I am going to go examine those remains. Whatever you choose to do for the rest of the day is your business." Bones said trying to stop in her tracks keeping Booth from pushing her out of her office.
"Nope. Na-ah. Not this time Bones. You are going to see what most people do when they are relaxing." Bones sighed and rolled her eyes knowing very well that once Booth had his mind set there was no reasoning with him.
"Fine Booth, one condition."
"And what's that Bones?"
"I get to drive!" Booth laughed as he continued to push Bones out the door
"Yeah…I don't think so"
