Chapter 1: Meet YsabellaFBI Special Agent Seely Booth enters the automatic doors to the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab on Anthropology one Saturday morning. He looks pretty amused as he went straight to the forensic examination platform; he has a picture that was evidence in a recent murder case and the FBI wants it to be verified. He saw the "squints squad", as he always refers to them, but Angela Montenegro wasn't there. She's the hot forensic artist who uses holograms to recreate crime scenarios or reconstruct faces. "Hey, where's Angela?" Booth automatically turned to his partner, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brenann. "I don't know," she replied, not really paying attention to him, "Zach! I need X-rays of these remains, CAT scans, MRI scans, and a close examination on the injuries. Hodgins, an examination on the organic matter found on the victims." Zachary Addy, Brennan's grad student, and Jack Hodgins, the resident entomologist, both nodded at her. "Where's Angela?" Booth asked the two men, who just started working, "Don't tell me you don't know where she is?" Hodgins answered him while looking at different samples under a microscope and searching through numerous test tubes, "I think she said something about fetching somebody at the airport…" Zach immediately intervened, "She said she was coming to meet her new grad student from overseas." Everybody turned to face him.
"WHAT?!"
"My sources are extremely accurate since I heard it from Miss Angela herself and you know what, staring at a person makes him or her extremely conscious of his or her appearance or behavior," Zach said in his usual squint speak. He noticed how awkward his speech was so he just bowed his head low over the remains and began his observations. " I can't believe she has a new grad student," Brenann said absentmindedly, still busying herself with the human remains in front of her, " It would be a rewarding experience for her, being able to pass on the art of her livelihood to another generation." Now everybody turned to stare at her. "What now?" she said, "Anthropologically that's what humans have been doing since the dawn of civilizations. Teaching offspring how to raise animals and crops, trade goods with other people…" Brenann trailed off as she continued to study the skeletons. Everybody got quiet, then suddenly Hodgins made a bet with Zach. "Bet you a hundred bucks that Angela's grad student is a guy." Zach protested, " That was unfair, you left me a choice which is apparently, very much against my own personal beliefs. And what I believe in is that Angela's grad student is most probably a male since she's very much attracted to the opposite sex, and males have a better chance on excelling at different fields." He looked over at Dr. Brenann, " And I definitely do not want to offend anybody in my statement."
"Exactly Zach, but I got it first."
"I told you that wasn't fair."
"Haha , but anyway you're always like that."
"I told you I-."
Zach stopped short of his sentence, directing his gaze to the doors of the lab. "You know what," he said in a steady calm voice, though a smirk lingered at the corner of his mouth, "I take back what I said about you being unfair and I now agree on the bet." He and Hodgins shook hands. Hodgins began to laugh, clapping his hands together, "Oh, I already smell the aroma of Zach's hundred bucks stashed in my wallet." Suddenly footsteps were heard form the doors. One was the unmistakable clacking of 3-inch stilettos, and the other was an unfamiliar sound of low-heeled flats. All of them turned to find Angela, dressed fabulously as usual, accompanied by a pretty young woman unfamiliar to them. Angela swiped her card to let them step up the platform. She led the girl towards the whole team. All of their eyes were focused on the stranger. She was fairly tall, about 5"6 in height. She was lean but undeniably sexy, with curves in all the right places. Her jet-black hair was slightly curled near the tips and was tied back with a simple half-ponytail, revealing a lovely face. Her eyes were chocolate-brown and were very pretty, as well as her fair, creamy skin. She dressed simply but elegantly, a baby-blue sleeveless turtleneck paired with low-rise jeans and a colored belt, while her dainty little feet were encased in embroidered black ballet flats. All over it was a Jeffersonian lab coat.
"Guys, meet my new grad student, from the Philippines, Ysabella."
