"What are your findings?" Dr. Temperance Brennan asks her assistant Zack Addy. "There are hairline fractures on ribs 2, 4, and 5. There is also a hole in the victim's chest from some sort of small, circular weapon…" He continues on as the other squints made their way up the platform.
Zack continues his examination as Brennan, Angela, Hodgins, and Cam discuss the case. They all heard footsteps coming towards them. Brennan ignored them and continued to share her findings. "Excuse me?" I'm looking for Temperance Brennan. Do you know where I could find her?" A man's voice asked from behind her.
Temperance whipped around to look at the man. "What are you doing here?" She demanded shrilly. The Squints look at each other confused, having never seen their friend like this.
"I need to talk to you." He says seriously
"About?" She asks impatiently
"I think you know." He tells her staring into her eyes.
"Ah-um" Angela clears her throat making everyone turn to her. "Care to introduce us." She asks.
"Everyone this is Jason." Tempe tells them
"Hi everyone, nice to meet you all." Jason greets them politely.
"Hi"
"You too"
"Hello"
"What's up" Came from the others. Simultaneously.
"Sorry to cut this short, but I need to steal the doctor here for a minute." He says smiling at them.
"I'm busy!" Brennan snapped sharply. The others still looked on completely confused.
"Aw since when did you become a workaholic?" He asks smirking. The others snicker at the thought of Brennan not working all the time.
"Jason, go to hell." She tells him shooting him her famous death glare.
"There's the Tempe I know!" He exclaims chuckling "It brings back memories."
She smirks at him "Not any I want to remember." He sighs
"I need to talk to you about-"
"Old problems." She asks cutting him off harshely. He winces but throws her a questioning look. She gives the squints a pointed glance. "I have nothing to talk about with you." She tells him with hatred.
"I have a right to know-"
She cuts him off again saying "You don't have a right to anything anymore. You gave up those rights a long time ago."
"I just want to see-"
Only to be cut off again but by Hodgins this time "Dude it's pretty obvious dr. B doesn't want to talk to you. You need to go man." The others all nod their heads in agreement.
"Fine. I'll leave but eventually you will have to talk to me about…" he pauses looking at the others "Everything." She turns back to the body on the table. "Bye Ali." He says starting to walk away.
Brennans head shot up. "Don't call me that!" She hisses at him. He looks at her strangely, then turns to walk out.
