Chapter 2. APB

"Booth?"

"Bones?"

"I'm sorry the perp got away."

"That's okay. I put out an APB on him."

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT BOOTH!"

"Do what Bones?"

"Put out an APB!"

"What?"

"An Anthropological Priority Bulletin!"

"What?"

"One, you're not an anthropologist and, two, they are used to inform all anthopologists immediately of important finds, which this incident was not!. You did it to be mean!"

"What?"

"You wanted every single anthropologist, MY COLLEAGUES, to know that I hit you with a 2 by 4!"

"Wait Bones! You got it all wrong."

"I'm never wrong when it comes to anthropology!"

"I know but you got the APB part wrong."

Pause

"I'm listening."

"It's an All Points Bulletin Bones. I got every cop in the city looking for him."

"Oh."

Pause

"Booth, I know what I have to put in my APB, but what do you put in yours?"

"Oh, the name and description of the subject and, in this case, the year, make, model and license plate of the vehicle we saw him drive off in."

"That's logical."

"Thank you Bones."

"For what?"

"For saying the FBI uses logic."

"I didn't say that."

"You said it was logical!"

"There's a difference of being logical and using logic Booth."

"Oh, I've got to hear this."

"You ignore me Booth?"

"What?"

"You said 'I've got to hear this' meaning you don't hear me at times."

"It's just an expression Bones."

Pause

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Are you going to explain to me the difference between being logical and using logic?"

"You said it yourself."

"When?"

"Less than 10 minutes ago! What? You not only ignore me but also yourself?"

"I think I'm getting a headache."

"Probably from the 2 by 4 striking the back of your skull."

"Bones, can you just tell me what I said less than 10 minutes ago to support your statement?"

"You said that they teach you to not only to use logic but also to use illogic, which is illogical. They think outside the square."

"Box, Bones, not square."

Pause

"I'm hungry. You want to get something to eat?"

"You're always hungry."

"No, I'm not!"

"Give me one example when you are not hungry then."

"When I sleep."

"Nope! The day you feel asleep on my couch you were naming off different types of pies."

"I don't talk......BONES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Making a U-turn."

"WHY?"

"I just seen our perp go the opposite way."
