Monday mornings had never been booths favorite days, but with the ring of his cell phone it made getting up even harder "Booth" he listened to the other side of the line while rolling out of bed "ok we'll be their , location?" his was lit with confusion "the mountains in Los Angeles are you kidding me?, fine we will be their tonight" as soon a he hung up he called his partner and headed to her apartment.
Brennan began to pack a overnight bag as soon as she hung up the phone. She was not the type to fret over making room for a blow-dryer or any other hair styling device, instead she just packed the basic, jeans, a top, a thick jacket and undergarments. She was zipping her bag up when their was a knock at her door "come in, the door is unlocked".
"come on bones we are going to miss our flight to LA" he called out while settling on the couch, as soon as he sat she stepped into the living room dropping her bag on the couch "is their security at the site?, I don't want my evidence compromised"
"yes they have everything under control, are you ready" he asked a s he lifted her bag over his shoulder
"yes but I can carry my own bag"
"I know but im being a gentlemen and your going to be busy getting a thicker jacket, do you have any idea how freezing those mountains are going to be, you're going to be freezing with that little jacket on" with that said Brenan turned around to look for her thicker jacket" . Five seconds later Brenna returned with a much thicker jacket "is this better?" only asking so that she wouldn't have to worry about Booth freezing.
With a thicker jacket on the partners made their way to the airport "you have my gum boots right?"
Yeah their in the back along with your doctor bag"
"its not a doctor bag, it has all the things I will need to make an examination and…"
Her words cut off as soon as she saw his large smile "that's not funny"
"yes it is, hey look we are here"
As soon as they got through security they boarded the plane. As soon as they got settled Booth began to fiddle around with the radio while Brennan began to read, " those earphones are riddle with bacteria, you have no idea who has put them on"
"fine ill just go to sleep"
"no then ill get bored"
"please be aware that there are five hours left on this flight, the drink carts will be coming soon , thank you and have a nice flight" as soon as the stewardess clicked off the intercom both partners looked at each other
"well five more hours what can we do in five hours?' booth was now bored and was itching to take a walk just to have the ability to walk
" lest just get something to drink and we can have a conversation" Brennan knew that her partner wouldn't be able to deal with this long flight much longer. She had experienced in her travels that conversation always helped. The drink cart came and went and the partners settled into a conversation
"a movie about blue people it doesn't seem that interesting, it doesn't seem possible for a mutant to be blue let alone be a mutant DNA isn't something to be fooled around with"
"Its just a movie Bones, anyways Parker loved it and said he wanted to see one in real life" booth loved talking about his son as much as Brennan loved to hear about him
"Please be aware that there is four hours left on this flight, the movie will begin in 5 minutes" the stewardess kept reminding the passengers of their long flight and for some reason booth didn't like her at all
"By announcing how much time we have left its only making it longer, forget it im going to the bathroom"
Brennan had no idea what to do with her partner and his whining so she just picked her book up and began reading, Booth came back to find her head tilted towards the window and asleep. He sat back down quietly and decided to sleep.
"Thank you for flying with us and we hope you have enjoyed your flight" the stewardess final announcement , her head was now tilted on his shoulder and he didn't want to wake her, with the click of the intercom Brennan awoke to a set of brown eyes staring right at her lovingly , she felt a bit embarrassed to find the her arm was hooked to booths "hey , we finally landed" knowing that she would be embarrassed he changed the subject quickly
" Can we head to the site first, I don't want my evidence trampled on" were the only words she was able to say without feeling embarrassed about her wondering arm.
After getting their rental, the partners drove up to the mountains in a truck similar to the one they usually use. The car ride was a lot faster than the five hour flight.
They got to the crime scene at 6 pm, Brennan did her usual examination while booth stood next to her jotting down his usual notes, "these remains have a lot of flesh im going to need to Send them to Cam along with the samples of the surrounding for Hodgins" with those words the techs began getting samples and packing them up at her request.
"are we going home now?'" Brennan was still tired even after her nap on the plane and was ready to have a goodnights rest in her own bed
"im afraid not, Im officer Duncan and I was told to tell you that flights to Washington are not available" he was very old the wrinkles on his tanned forehead made it clear, his hair was peppered with strands of white and was short round and a bit built.
"are you kidding me we made no reservations for a hotel"
" im sorry but I made you reservations for a hotel room at Best western inn in Pasadena, im sorry for the inconvenience" with that he walked away and headed to his own comfy home
"Bones it looks like we are staying over night" he found that he was speaking to himself and caught sight of his partner in the car ready to sleep. He made his way to the SUV, an began to drive towards their hotel.
