Disclaimer: I have never owned anything. Rating: PG to PG13 just to be safe Summary: Zack gets the job. Pre-Series
A/N: I have no idea how long everyone has worked with Bones but I'm going to say two years in Zack's case. This is going to be from the other squint's points of view because I grasp their characters better than Brennan's or Zack's for that matter. Hope you like it.
We are supposed to get this spiffy new child prodige to come work with us in the lab. I am so not looking forward to this. Goodman came in this morning and told all of us that we had better be on our best behavior. He's always been an "image of the lab" kind-of guy. Apparently this kid is only like 22 and a genius. "...probably gunna be a stuck-up little know-it-all kissing Dr. Brennan's ass."
"Well he is her ASSistant!" I almost choked on my coffee.
"Angela. That. Was." I couldn't even think of a response so just settled for an astounded expression. In response she just gave me a wink and popped me one on the shoulder.
"Why are you so bitter about the new recruit anyway? He doesn't sound so bad. We could use something new around here."
"If that's what we needed then why couldn't we have petitioned for casual Fridays instead of hiring little boy wonder," Uh cold coffee! "And I am not bitter. I'm just--"
"What's Hodgins bitter about?" Interrupts my oh-so-lovely boss-Bones.
"I am not--"
"Jackie doesn't wanna play wit da new boy." How can a grown woman pull off that cutsie voice.. Ok maybe the pout helps.. Doesn't mean I'm not going to glare.
"Is he here yet? He was supposed to show up 20 minutes ago." Bones says looking up at the breakroom clock.
"Maybe his enormous head wouldn't fit in his car." I mumbled. Ok so maybe I'm a little bitter.
"That's silly. I doubt he would go through the trouble of buying a car if he couldn't fit into it." I'm sure Angela and I have the same expression right now at Bones' completely serious response. I swear some of the things that come out of her mouth---
"Actually I took the bus."
God, will people stop interrupting me? WAIT!
A/N: This is kindof silly but how do you add an entry to a livejournal community? Please R&R.
