Chapter 1
It was one boring day at the Jeffersonian when that phone call was answered. Cam, being the boss, answered the phone.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Excuse me am I speaking to the Jeffersonian's forensic laboratory?"
"Yes, Dr. Camille Saroyan speaking."
"Well, I'm with the New Jersey FBI and we have a case for you and your team. We need your team, along with Special Agent Seeley Booth, to investigate a potential murder at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. "
"Um…I really hate to ask this…isn't the FBI supposed to give Booth a case, and in turn he's supposed to tell us about said case?"
"Well ma'am that is the standard protocol, but we figured since this case is out of state that it would be wise to inform you as soon as possible. Then you could your equipment in order. Otherwise it wouldn't be courteous to make you wait on Agent Booth."
"Thank you for clarifying those details for me."
"Thank you for your time Dr. Saroyan."
The call ended and I went to tell my team the news.
"Hey guys, listen up." Cam called down to the platform.
Everyone on said platform looked at me with wide eyes.
"People we have a new case."
The Squints immediately started to get antsy-they hadn't had a case in weeks.
"Now, this is a special case. Its in New Jersey and I was told to bring the lot of you."
Now the interns started chattering loudly.
"I'm sorry, but you interns have to stay behind and watch the lab."
"I'M NOT GOING TO LET THE INTERNS RUIN MY LAB!" Brennan exploded a little bit out of character.
"Calm down Dr. Brennan, the interns are going to be supervised by Dr. Goodman, he volunteered to keep in eye on the lab even though he's retired."
Brennan simmered down slightly, but was still clearly upset.
Bren: Stupid interns…always messing up my lab with their stupid experiments
"So where exactly is this case?" Brennan asked.
"How long will we be gone?"
"Who died?"
"Where was the body found?"
"When was the body found?"
"SHUT UP! Quit playing 20 questions!"
"Um, what does '20 questions' mean?" Brennan asked.
Angela sighed, exasperated, "Bren, 20 questions, or 20q, is a game where you think of something and the computer tries to guess what it is in 20 questions. So Cam wanted us to stop asking her about the case."
"Thanks Angela. Anyway, Booth has all the info on our victim specifically. I can tell you that we will be in New Jersey for two to four weeks. Our victim is located at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Our victim is an adult male. That's all I know right now.
"Hang on, did you Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital?" Brennan asked.
"Yes, Dr. Brennan, why?" Cam asked.
"Never mind. I doubt what I thought about the location is relevant to the case." Brennan said, growing paler by the second.
Bren: I wonder if he works there…he said that he was going to…hopefully he wasn't the one who died
"Hey Squints! We have a new case. And it's in Jersey!" Booth called to the platform.
"WE ALREADY KNOW!!!" The Squints yelled.
"Geez you really need to work on your greeting skills AND your people skills." Booth muttered darkly.
"Anyways, our victim was found in his apartment. At first look, it looked like suicide, on closer investigation; the victim was not a gun owner. So the FBI thought that foul play was involved and they want us to see if they missed anything." Booth informed them.
"Wow, we already guessed that something like that happened." Brennan said sarcastically.
Bren: he doesn't own a gun does he…besides why would he want to die…compartmentalize Bren, compartmentalize
"Good job Bones. Way to make a guy feel loved." Booth said sarcastically.
Angela: OMG! OMG! OMG does he love her?!?! Epic inner squee
"Also the victim was a doctor, so the hospital wanted the best of the best to investigate the murder."
Bren: oh no, he went to medical school to be a doctor…please don't be dead…please don't make me investigate your murder…compartmentalize Tempe
Brennan was just about to ask when Booth said, "Bones, you realize that I was being sarcastic right?"
Booth: That statement goes for you too Angela, don't think that I missed that moment of happiness
Angela: Damn, I was so hopeful too (I so picked up on the implied me)
"Okay Squints! Pack your bags! We're heading to New Jersey!"
A/N: Chapter one is done. Yay! If anyone can guess who Bren knows gets a high-five.
