A/N: VERY SHORT! This came to me as I saw one of the men on the board watch Bones and Booth walk down the corridor, I was wondering what he was thinking about!
Watching Dr. Brennan give her protégé advice, they noticed that the FBI Agent at her right had his hand very protectively at the small of her back only moving from its place as the doctor moved forward.
One of the professors looked down the corridor, intently watching his colleague and the Agent.
"Next question?" Zack Addy requested.
The man who still watched the two walk away couldn't stop his curiosity from asking, "Does he do that often?" The other members of the board looked at him, and then too looked down the corridor.
Zack's eyes widened, "Who…oh you mean Booth?" He paused, nodding his head in the direction they'd left, "Yeah, he's always coming in and dragging her away from whatever we're working on."
"And does she always go so willing with him?" Another member's interest asked him.
He sat a bit confused, "Uhm, at first she put up a fight, but he always managed to get her to go. So now she doesn't even bother."
They nodded, each thinking along the same lines, "Do you all help the FBI often?"
"I'm sorry but I don't exactly see how this pertains to my getting my doctorate?" Zack sat uncomfortably.
The board looked at each other, "Just answer the questions Mr. Addy."
"Okay. Uh, yeah we help the FBI all the time. Every time something comes up that they can't figure out, Booth brings it to Dr. Brennan."
They knew she was the best forensic anthropologist in D.C. but they still asked, "Why?"
Zack furrowed his brow, wondering when they'd get back to grilling him about his thesis. "Because Dr. Brennan is the best." He stated the obvious.
"Mr. Addy, this may seem like an odd question but what are Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth to one another?"
"Excuse me if I say so sir, but all of your questions since the doctor left have been odd." He thought about the question, "But to answer, I'm not sure. I guess just partners, friends. Although," he grinned a bit, "Angela, she's our artist," he tried to clarify, "seems to think there's something behind the 'just friends' they drill into everyone's brains."
"Why?"
Still confused as to why the board members were curious about the relationship between his boss and her partner, he answered their questions, "She says that they love each other. Whether there's truth to any of it I don't know. But she thinks there perfect for each other." He paused, "I even believe that she told Dr. Brennan once, that if she (Angela) had a chance she'd 'buy a ticket on that ride.' Meaning, of course, Agent Booth."
Each of the professors looked at him, thinking. The way they flirted down the hall sure left them to wondering if the artist Mr. Addy spoke of had something in her theory.
THEND
So did you like it? I'm thinking about writing a follow up piece maybe two, where Zack tells the rest of the squints about the odd questions, possibly even Bones and Booth! Well, let me know if you like it!
