I do not own Bones…my only purpose here is to try and give readers what the writers of the show are so cruelly with withholding from us…
Chapter 2
Sully moved past her to stand behind the girl's chair. She stared straight ahead and Sully put on arm on either side of her, trapping her between himself and the table. All the while the young woman wore a confident, sly grin.
"You're slipping, Vivian. You're usually more careful. We've never actually been able to haul you in here before."
"Well, I've never been this pissed off before. Now where is he so I can kill him?"
"You aren't even gonna listen to what he has to say are you?"
"No…he had time to explain and now his time is up and I'm ready to start breaking things. Bones for example. And certainly not mine. Where. Is. He."
"He has the day off."
"Ahhh…the rat got lucky today."
"You're too hard on him."
"No, I'm not. This is me holding back. He'll deserve everything I give him for this and everything that I won't."
"Like that time you shot him four times in the chest?"
Temperance felt a stab of panic. This girl had shot Booth? Four times?
"He deserved that too. Just like you deserved the three I gave you. And that was just the first time. You know, to be perfectly honest, it's a little pathetic when a 13 year old girl can shoot two trained F.B.I. Agents multiple times and come out without a scratch. Even more so when one of them was a sniper."
"OK, you're gonna play it that way. You want a rematch?"
The girl let out a loud, sarcastic laugh.
"HA! Sure. Why not? You know I only take extreme enjoyment in taking down both your sorry asses."
"You're on."
Temperance watched as Sully held a hand out to the girl, which she immediately shook. Not letting go of her hand, Sully asked:
"Is this interrogation over now?"
The girl shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't care.
"Eh, I guess."
Then she smiled. It wasn't sarcastic this time. It was a truly genuine smile that somehow Temperance recognized but she couldn't place the familiarity. Before she could analyze it, Sully pulled the girl up and into a tight hug that she returned. She watched as Sully picked her up and spun her around, both of them laughing.
She couldn't remember the last time she was this confused.
A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short...they'll get longer as I go, I promise.
