Okay, this is my first Bones fic. I know the first entry is short, but I needed to leave it off at this place for a slight dramatic effect. Think of it as a prologue or a preview (hence chapter title) Enjoy.
Disclaimer to all things related to the show Bones. I own nothing.
A crisp knock had Special Agent Seeley Booth walking towards his door with confusion and annoyance. As he passed the clock on his TV cabinet he wondered if anyone appreciated the hours of 5 to 7 being sit-down- please-don't-interrupt -dinner time. As he looked through the peep hole he smirked. Obviously Dr. Temperance Brennan would not be one of those people. He had barely had the door opened when his partner snaked through and walked to the centre of his living room speaking about God knows what with the same number of words per minute as an auctioneer.
"Come on in Bones, thanks for asking." He interrupted her sarcastically as he shut the door behind her.
Brennan stopped her mile a minute monologue. "But Booth, you told me to tell you when we got a positive ID on the murder victim."
Booth nodded slowly, "yeah, but thats what this nifty little invention called a cellphone is for."
She rolled her eyes, "I tried to phone you but I couldn't reach you, so I came here to see if you were all right."
"Well, I'm fine." He stated as he grabbed Brennan's shoulders and started leading her back towards his door, "So, why don't you head back to the lab and see what else you can find our from the squint squad."
"I would, but they've all gone home for the weekend." Brennan said, trying to resist Booth's actions. "Besides, I thought you would want to go do some questioning, now that we have another clue."
Booth paused. She had a point, he couldn't exactly abandon his case. "Fine, Bones, you win. Just meet me down at the SUV okay?" when he saw her begin to speak he cut her off "I'll let you drive."
Brennan turned to look at him and eyed him quizzically. "Why are you in such a rush to get me out of here?"
"Becuase we have people to question." Booth replied after a slight hesitation, which even the socially awkward forensic anthropologist was able to pick up.
"Do you have a woman here?" she asked abruptly "Because, you know thats nothing to be ashamed of." She said matter of factly
Booth's cheeks flushed with a tinge of red "No, I do not have a woman here." He stammered slightly.
"Booth, it's okay. I am perfectly aware that you persue relationships with the opposite sex. I don't understand why you are hiding it."
Now Booth was becoming slightly irate. " Look, let's just go and talk about this later all right?"
He had nearly gotten her out of the door when a face Brennan did not recognize entered the room.
"Seeley, you have company and you didn't even bother to introduce me?"
Booths hands immediately dropped from Brennan's shoulders and he raked a hand through his hair and sighed. "Temperance Brennan, I'd like you to meet Michael Booth, my grandfather."
TBC?
