Total Drama Lab Chapter One: "The one with the stomach"

"So, Booth, what do you have for us today?" asks Dr. Brennan 'Bones'. She puts on her lab coat as he leads her to the table where the body. She takes a good look at the body. "Booth, this body has too much flesh on it. This is Cam's job now." She says and turns around.

"C'mon Bones, we both know Cam is totally useless. Without you, there's no solving this case." Booth says. Bones thinks about it for a second when Hodgins walks up from behind her.

"I don't even know why she's needed. I'm the one who gives the most helpful information to solve cases. Besides, even with a shit ton a flesh, Cam is still says. Both Bones and Booth stare at him. Booth starts to speak. "Sorry, the King of the Lab is needed to do the real work." Says Hodgins, who goes up on the examiners station and right past Cam, who has her arms folded.

"You know, I am the boss." She says uselessly as she turns around.

"If you had been doing your job while we were fighting, then maybe you wouldn't be so useless." He says without even lifting his head. He picks up some slime that they all missed. "I'll go and analyze this and solve this case. You should probably go get coffee or something." He walks off.

"I'll show all of them whose useless." She says and storms off.

Meanwhile, in Hodgins' lab…

"Wow, you look incredible." He says.

"Hey, baby. Talking to the evidence again?" Angela asks and walks up to kiss Hodgins.

"Yeah, and I've solved the case again. This slime is…."

"Guys, the new intern is here, and you should see this guy." Sweets interrupts and leaves the lab. Hodgins and Angela exchange looks of interest and go check it out.

They all rally in front of Bones whose standing in front of them.

"Bones, where's the intern? Is he behind that wall behind you or something?" Booth asks.

"No…Booth, this 'wall' is the intern. I want you all to meet Owen." She says and points her arm at him.

"So, does this job come with free lunch and stuff, because I get really hungry looking at corpses?" Owen asks.

"No," says Cam. "And I really don't think you need to be eating that much anyway." She insults Owen. He starts crying and Hodgins goes to hug him.

"Hush, hush. Don't let Cam get to you. Cheer up, big guy." Owen hugs Hodgins back stops crying. Hodgins turns around. "Geez, Cam, a little sympathy for the new guy."

"Guys, we still have a murder to solve." Booth says.

"Booth, I've told you, too much flesh, and ….where's the body?" Bones asks after turning around.

They all turn to Owen who is licking his fingers.

"Man, that human sized beef jerky was pretty good. I hope none of you wanted any." Owen says.

They all stare at him with looks of disgust and intrigue, but Cam pukes and re=uins the silence.

"Damn it, Cam!" exclaims Hodgins.

"Great, now we have no body, flesh or bones to solve the murder." Says Booth.

"Dude, you never let me talk." Says Hodgins. "The slime I found on the victim's body was rich is bacteria, and not just any bacteria, but the bacteria of a komodo dragon. Ironically enough, the victim was also a snack for several of these large reptiles. And the only store that sells them in D.C. is Reptiles R Us."

"Good job, Hodgins." Says Booth. "Cam, you're so useless." She glares at him and storms off again.

"Umm, Owen, are you ok?" Angela asks. Owen starts wobbling back and forth and has dark rings under his eyes.

"Yeah, you don't look so hot." Sweets adds on.

"The corpses he ingested was covered in komodo dragon bacteria. We need to get him to the hospital." Bones says and pulls out her phone. "We need an emergency medic with anti venom handy, and an ambulance with an extra ton weight limit." She hangs up and she and Booth head out to the store.

"Well, I've done everything I had to, so, Angela, wanna go home?" Hodgins asks.

"Sure." She smiles and they grab arms and walk out together.

There is an awkward pause between Sweets and Owen, and Owen vomits out the corpse and it splatters on the ground, clean of any flesh.

"Whew, that tasted better coming out then going in." he says and laughs. Sweets looks at the vomit and skeleton and just walks away.

Meanwhile, at Reptiles R Us…

Booth and Bones walk in and look at the clerk. He whispers to the guy in line before they get to the counter and he leaves. They pass by and the guy goes out the door and runs away frantically. Booth pulls out his badge.

"Hey, I'm special agent Seeley Booth, and this is my partner, Dr. Brennan. Has anyone suspicious purchased any komodo dragons lately?"

"No, not since two days ago. Why?" the man asks.

"Because someone was fed to several of them recently, much like those over there." Bones points to a cage filled with komodo dragons and blood stains everywhere. "Odd, is there usually blood in the cage?" she asks.

"Yes, from the small animals we feed them." The clerk says. The man goes to the cage and grabs the hook next to it. He stabs a rabbit and lifts it over the komodo dragons who flock to it and tear limb from limb. "See." He pulls out the hook and puts it down.

Bones and Booth both shrug and walk out.

Back at the lab…

"Are you telling me you coughed up a full, complete human skeleton?" Bones asks.

"Yeah, it's no biggie. You should see me on holidays." He .

Bones awkwardly turns away and examines the skeleton. She focuses on a point in the ribs.

"There was a sharp and acute stab made here. Whatever it was, it was small, but very strong, like it was made for stabbing and lifting."

"I already examined the particulates in the wound, and it's the same metal used for zoo and pet store hooks for when feeding highly dangerous animals." Hodgins says as he walks up to them.

"Booth, the shop keeper had one of those." Bones says.

"On it. Cam, you're still useless!" he exclaims as he exits the lab. Cam throws her cup of coffee on the ground and storms back to her office.

"Well, Owen, not a bad first day, huh?" Hodgins asks him.

'Can we go eat now?" he asks. Bones and Hodgins shrug their shoulders and the three of them leave for dinner, forgetting all about Angela, Sweets, and Cam.
