Bones
The Woman in the Park
As I, Dr. Temperance Brennan was getting ready to examine the bones of a victim that suffered a severe car accident, my best friend Angela Montenegro entered.
"Hey, Bren... What happened here? Do you have a name or gender for this guy?" I sigh at Ange because she doesn't understand that I like to stay objective about these things and if I know a name or have a face, I might throw away my objectivity.
"No Ange, all I know is that she was a 16 year old female."
"Sheesh, poor girl. 16. Probably just got her driver's license. Didn't really even have time to live." Ange says to me, leaning on the table I am working at.
"That is not helping Ange. Why don't you go find Zack or Cam. See what you can do to help them."
"Okay. I can tell when I'm not wanted." So with a sigh my best friend stands up straight and walks out. Peace and quiet again a lass. I just get to looking at a part of the femur when I hear footsteps behind me. I can't see a person, but I can definately hear the footsteps. My eyes are soon covered and something is shoved into my arms. As soon as my eyes are uncovered I see it is a bouqet of flowers. I turn around to find Agent Seeley Booth, and his son Parker.
"Parker, tell Bones what you did." Booth says to Parker.
"I picked out those flowers for you. And they were actually from a store this time." Parker says to me with a smile that could melt the sun.
"Ah, Parker; they are just beautiful." I say to him as I take a big whiff. "What are these for?"
"It's officially our first year and a half together as a family, and we wanted to come find you, and tell you how much we appreciate you." Booth says, but as he leans in to whisper in my ear, I have a feeling that's not all he's going to say.
"We will have our special you and me celebration a little later on."
"Okay! Well I really have to get back to work. These bones won't identify themselves."
"Come on Parker." Booth says as they start to exit.
"Bye Brennan." Parker says to me.
"Bye Parker." I say as I smile and wave while they walk off. Parker is just the cutest kid you could ever imagine, but then his dad isn't that bad looking either. Okay, call me crazy for being a little biased about a co-worker who I just happen to be married to. I mean is it really going to kill you? Anyhow, as I go back to look at the bones, Zack Addy, one of my former interns walks in. With a loud sigh that turns into a half scream; I let Zack come in.
"Yes Zack?" I ask him without even turning around.
"Well Dr. Brennan; I just know you are going on vacation with Agent Booth, and I was wondering when exactly that was going to be."
"Today I leave with Seeley and Parker for a one week vacation from all this. I am leaving you in charge, but don't tell Hodgins." I say just glaring at him. "Remember the last time, I left Hodgins in charge what happened?" Zack looks down at the floor because he doesn't want to answer. I point my nose down to look at him. "What happened Zack?" He is quiet at first, and then he pipes up with a sqeaky voice,
"We blew up part of the lab mixing chemicals." Zack says.
"How much did it cost you to replace those chemicals?"
"I don't remember." Zack says and then he looks down at his watch and runs out of the then Cam enters.
"Is everybody coming to see me today while I am trying to work on analyzing these bones?" I ask in a frustrated manner. Cam laughs at this.
"No, I was just coming to tell you that Booth did some begging to the boss, and he is letting you off early."
"How early?" I ask Cam suspiciously.
"Right now. You can stay if you want, but Agent Booth was just going crazy when I was in the office." I smile at the thought of Booth going crazy.
"I'll go find him and tell him we can go." I sigh, but I take off my gloves, toss them in the trash, take off my lab coat, exit the doors to the lab, and go in search of Booth so I can kill him for this.
