Okay, first fanfic went badly. I'll give this one a shot, please tell me what to improve or if I should give it up. This is post Aliens.
Brennen had entered the lab early that morning to work on one of the bodies in limbo. After having arranged all the bones in their correct positions she began the tedious work of identification. Booth watched her from just off the podium. Angela caught him watching her and made her way over to him.
"You have been watching her for the last 10 minutes, are you going to go up there or just stand here?"
Booth jumped at having been caught. He grabbed Angela by the arm and pulled her away from where Bones was working so diligently. "Don't ever do that again, unless you plan on getting shot."
"Sorry, a little touchy? You can tell her you know."
"Tell her what? That I almost lost my best friend? That I don't want her working on any more cases? That.." Angela cut him off "That you love her?"
"What!? No, no we are partners nothing more."
"Is that your choice or hers?" Angela asked walking away.
"Bones! What are you working on? Tell me you can pull away any time. Because you are coming with me" Booth made his presence known jogging up to the secure area.
"Where are we going? And yes this is a World War 1 unidentified soldier. I've gotten all the information I need from the remains, and the rest is just researching records."
"Good, come on we have to meet Cullin in 45 minutes."
"What are we meeting Cullin for? Do we have another case?"
"We wont know that until we meet with him now will we Bones?" Brennen asked Zach to take care of the remains for her. She went to her office, to grab her coat but was stopped by her phone ringing.
"Brennen" came the typical reply "Oh Hi Russ, you still coming up on Saturday?" "Sorry Tempe I can't. Something serious came up with the girls. I'm really sorry, I'll make it up to you I promise."
"Its okay Russ, I understand. I was hoping to spend some time with you but I guess it can wait. Are the girls okay?"
"Yeah, I don't have time to talk now, but I'll fill you in when I can. Thanks Tempe, oh and Tempe?"
"Yes?"
"Marco" came the reply before the phone disconnected.
"Polo" she answered to no one there.
Brennen looked out her office wondering why Booth hadn't followed her like he usually does. He was down on the podium talking to Angela. I wonder what Angela is grilling him about this time. She better not be telling him...no Angela wouldn't do that to her. In a moment of weakness, and plenty of Scotch, Tempe finally had broken down and told her best friend that she thought she might be in love with her partner. Lost in thought Tempe didn't hear Hodgin's approach her. "What's so interesting down there?"
Startled, Tempe whirled around "Don't do that! You know how much I hate that"
"Sorry I thought you heard me coming, I wasn't trying to be quiet."
"You didn't answer the question, whats so interesting down there?"
"It was nothing." Changing the subject she asked "How you holding up? Still having the nightmares?"
"Yeah but they are starting to subside a little. Angela has been great. She has been there with me through everything. I don't know how you are managing alone."
"It's not so bad really, not quite as bad as Guatemala. I'm working through it, and besides I have all of you guys, I'm not alone." Jack gave her a quick hug and walked back to his office.
As Brennen approached, Booth started towards her "Ready?"
"Always" she responded smiling slightly. Booth led her out of the Jeffersonian and to his waiting SUV.
Okay, what do ya think?
