This just came to mind while I was watching the Finger in the Nest episode.
Chapter one: Loving a Killer
Brennan drove in front of a Prefect Pets Pet Store.
She pulled into a parking space and got out.
"Why am I doing this?" she questioned herself, "I don't know anything about animals. The only pet I ever had was Russ's gold fish Sprite and even then we didn't have him for that long after I decided Sprite wanted to become a famous chef. The only thing Sprite became was a breading less fish stick."
Brennan reached into her purse and pulled out a mold of a dog tooth.
Brennan smiled, "I guess I can try, for Ripley's sake."
"Hello, can I help you?" a woman asked behind a check out desk.
"I would hope so, after all, you work here." Brennan said, "I am adopting a German Sheppard."
"A puppy?" the woman asked.
"No, he's full grown." Brennan said.
"Okay, we have dog items this way." The woman lead Brennan into a isle filled with dog food, beds, toys, treats, collar, ect…
"Have you ever owned a dog before?" the woman asked.
"I think if I had owned a dog before I wouldn't be asking for help." Brennan said.
"Oh…" the woman mumbled, "Is your dog going to be an inside or outside dog?"
"Inside." Brennan said.
"Then might I suggest this dog bed? It has a massage and heating functions." The woman handed Brennan a large plaid bed.
"How big is your German Sheppard?"
"He's big." Brennan said examining the collars.
"Then you'll need IAMs Large Dog Food… I think you're going to need a cart. I'll go and get you one." The woman left.
Brennan picked up a red collar, "Hm…nah, I don't like this one." She picked a pink collar with rhinestones, "Ripley isn't a female." Then a black collar with little white bones caught her eye, "Perfect!" she mumbled.
"Ah, I like your choice." Brennan turned around to see the woman was back, "We have a matching leash, if you're interested."
Brennan nodded, "What are these?" Brennan asked pointing at the small blue and red shovels.
"Oh, you are defiantly going to need one of those, they're pooper scoopers." The woman laughed.
"Pooper…scoopers?" Brennan shuttered, "She was fine with rotting bodies but when it came to poop…well let's just say that that was another reason Hodgins worked in the department he did.
"Which one do you want?" the woman asked.
"I guess I'll take the red…" Brennan mumbled.
"Now, if I know dogs they love to chew so if you don't want him to chew up your furniture I suggest you take a couple of rawhide chews and a squeaky ball and teddy bear." The woman threw the items into Brennan's over filled shopping cart.
"You're going to need a water and food bowl." The woman said throwing two bowls with different colored bones painted on into the cart.
"I think I only need a dog tag now." Brennan said.
"Oh right, yes, this way please." The woman led Brennan over to a machine.
"You can have a silver bone tag, or a heart, or, we just got these in, Hannah Montana!"
"Who's Hannah Montana? Some type of dog breed?" Brennan asked. "I'll take the heart one."
The woman looked at Brennan confused before she hit the heart button.
"What's the dog's name?"
"Ripley Brennan." Brennan answered.
"Okay…now if you could please type in your address and phone number." The woman said.
Brennan punched the information in and the woman hit ready.
A small red heat popped out into the metal tray. Brennan smiled as she read the inscription, Ripley Brennan.
"Would you like to check out now?" the woman asked.
"I think I'm ready." Brennan went to the checkout counter.
Her total amount came out to $154.98. Brennan paid quickly and headed out the door.
"Good luck with Ripley!" the woman called but Brennan was already to far away to hear.
"What a strange woman." The woman shook her head, "Hannah Montana a dog breed?"
Brennan loaded everything into her car.
"I'm in love with a killer." She laughed to herself.
Then she remembered, "Oh no Booth! I forgot to tell him what I'm doing!"
She jumped into her car and drove towards the Hoover Building.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
