The Lab
Daisy loved working at the Jeffersonian and now the FBI had cleared her to work on their cases she was even happier to work there. She swiped her card and ran up the steps to the lab as Jack caught her by the shoulders. She knew she was late but that was down to Lance. If he hadn't kept me talking on the phone all last night I would never have slept through the alarm. She hurried along, aware that Dr Brennan was going to be angry at her for being late and then she would probably end up working on the skeletons in Limbo rather than their current case when she connected with something larger and stronger than her.
"Hey, slow down there" He laughed as she rolled her eyes. Why was everyone always telling her to slow down?
"Hi Dr Hodgins"
"Hey" Cam called from the platform "Daisy, Dr Hodgins, can I see you in my office please"
Jack shot Daisy a look as she shrugged. Neither scientist had any idea of what they had done to cause such a reaction from their boss. Cam looked angry and worried. Silently they followed her into the office as Jack tried to think of a reason for whatever had caused Cam's mood that morning.
"Dr Saroyan, I can explain" Cam raised an eyebrow as Hodgins stepped in front of Daisy ready to defend whatever experiment that had gone awry and caused more problems.
"I really hope you can" Cam sighed as she ushered him into her office only for him and Daisy to be greeted by a very upset looking Angela, Sweets, Vincent Nigel Murrey, Gordon, Clark and Wendell. Booth just looked angry. He didn't even raise his eyes to meet the newcomers as Daisy walked straight to Sweets.
"What is it?" Daisy watched as Sweets closed his eyes "Where is Dr Brennan?"
"That, Cherie is what we all wanna know" Caroline folded her arms as she stood in the doorway. All eyes fell on the Attorney.
"She's missing" Cam explained as Angela buried her face in her hands. "She left here as late as always last night and vanished"
"People do not just vanish" Wendell stared at his boss. Booth remained silent in the corner.
"Ah hu" Caroline agreed with the young intern as Angela wiped her eyes. Hodgins was next to her in seconds as she gave him a watery smile.
"What happened?" Hodgins took Angela's hand in his own.
"As I said" Cam started. "I left here before Dr Brennan last night. I had to collect Michelle from her friend's house. Anyway she was here until the early hours of the morning. The Security Guard, Ben confirms this. And so does the CCTV. Anyway, when she wasn't here this morning I just assumed she was with Booth or that she was late for work."
"She is never ever late for work" Angela interjected.
"I know" Cam sighed "Anyway I called Booth"
"Cam was the last person to see her before." He couldn't bring himself to say the words. Instead he kept his eyes on the floor and glared at the carpet.
"Her apartment is empty" Booth explained "Nothing to suggest a break in. Nothing to suggest she was taken from the apartment and her car is parked outside"
"So what happened? Where is she?" Daisy tried to fight the tears that were welling up in her eyes. Sweets glanced at Gordon and Clark who had both remained stoic since the news of Brennan's disappearance had reached them. Cam closed her eyes as Booth continued to glare at the floor.
"I don't know." Booth sighed.
"That's just the thing" Caroline glared. "Right now Dr Temperance Joy Brennan is missing."
