Okay sorry this chapter maybe a little short but it's better than nothin.
Back at the lab Booth stops by Brennan's office to follow up on the case. She's examning the reports her team has done so far on the case.
"Anything yet for me Bones?"
"Zack is trying figure out the cause of death. Hodgins is examning the locket and earrings and Angela is working on a facial construction."
"What are you looking at?"
"The t-shirt we found was purchased at a local dance shop just down the street from the theater. And get this we found human hair stuck in the fibers. I've sent it to the DNA lab to see if we possibly have a victim match."
Angela walks into her office during their conversation to inform Brennan and Booth that she has a face.
"Her name is Sarah Cronell. She's 20 years old and the star dancer at the theater. She disappered about 6 months ago."(Angela)
"Hey everyone just got a call from the DNA lab. It turns out the hair in the fibers belong to Samantha Prickard. She's one of the two daughters of Stanley Prickard."(Hodgins)
"Well sounds like that talk we need to have with him and his daughters is now."(Booth)
Booth and Brennan are in the Prickard girls' dressing room (with them fully dressed) talking about Sarah Cronell.
"Good afternoon, Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan. I'm Samantha this is my sister Carly."
"Hi girls, my partner and I would like to speak to the two of you about Sarah Cronell. Samantha let's start with you. Did you know Sarah Cronell."
"Of course, she was mine and Carly's best friend. She danced with us here at the theater, went on shopping trips with us, she was like our thrid sister."
"This t-shirt belongs to you does it not?"(Brennan)
"Yes I thought I had lost it forever /Sarah and I liked to trade each others clothing a lot of times. I let her borrow it a few months ago, just before she disappered."
"We found it at the crime scene with her body and the shirt had your hairs in the fiber. Hairs that we not very old meaning you wore the shirt recently."(Dr. Brennan)
"I haven't worn that shirt for months. The last time I saw it was back in May. Sarah was meeting her boyfriend for the weekend in New York City and asked to borrow my shirt because it was her favorite and I guess she wanted to look good for him."
"really?"
"Agent Booth I swear to god I'm telling the truth."
"Agent Booth, my sister and I were very much close to Sarah why would she harm her?"(Carly)
"I didn't say she did anything to her."
"Well you sure are making it sound like she did do something."
"What about you Carly how was your relationship with her?"
"She was pretty cool, an excellent dancer, Sarah I mean. She spent a whole week with me teaching sashes. I finally got a hold of the concept. I had hoped to someday be as good as her and my sister."
"What about the boyfriend you mentioned eariler? What do you know of him?"(Brennan)
"Carly and I know nothing about the boyfriend other than she has one. She kept her lovelife kind of secret. I guess cause of her mom. She wouldn't approve of the guy. All I know is that he's a rapper for some club just a few blocks away from here. Talk to her mom and see what she says..."
Back in the car Booth phones the FBI asking them to call Sarah's mother to come in for questions. She arrives at the interrgation room about an hour after they arrive at Booth's office.
"Barbra Cronell?"
"That's me"
"My name is Special Agent Seeley Booth and this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan."
"I'm a forensic anthropologist. I was the one identifed your daughter"
"Pleasure to meet you both"
"We are very sorry for your loss."(Booth)
"Thank you I can't understand who would do something like this to her. She was such a sweet girl and an excellent student."
"Was she attending college?"(Brennan)
"Yes the local communtiy college outside of DC on interstate 47. She was studying to become a dance teahcer and earned her grants trough the dance program at the theater. They were paying for her full ride as long as she worked at the theater and just loved it. Her whole life after all was devoted to her studies and dance."
"We were recently informed that she had boyfriend. Do you know anything about that?"
"She was seeing a guy name Tony Pittin, but he seemed a little too dark and low class for her so I forbidded them from being together. But I imagine they did sneak off together a few times. I became even more upset when I found out that at the time they were going out he was seeing another woman."
"Did she know about the other woman?"
"I think so, I'm honestly not sure. She was too wrapped up in Tony to even notice his secret life. Oh and there's one more thing you ought to know."
"Yes, we're listening."
"When I first met Tony I asked to keep a picture of him so I can remember him when he visits and I noticed something awhile back that disturbs me a little now more than it did then. I have a picture of him at home with two other guys. One I know is no stranger to the law. The one guy is a man named Howard Plankton who was a good buddy of Tony's. He's in Iraq now serving for the army. But the other guy worries me..."
"It's okay Mrs. Cronell you can tell us..."(Brennan)
"The other man in the picture is a guy by the name of Howard Epps..."
