Chapter 2, Pam gets lucky
Pam Noonan woke up in a strange apartment and thought she was having her own weird dream. She felt better than she normally did. Her clothes were much looser on her than she remembered which immediately cemented her good mood. When she came into the living room of the apartment, she was less impressed with all the weird souvenirs decorating the room, and even less so with the nuts and berries that were available in the kitchen. She decided that she might enjoy looking at her slimmer self in the mirror, and when she found a mirror, she saw the face of Dr. Temperance Brennan. She gave a slight scream at the sight of her arch enemy staring back at her and then gave a feral smile. Temperance got to work with Seeley, and since she was now Temperance, she would get to work with the handsome FBI agent. Without too much trouble, Pam found Temperance's identification cards. She also happily discovered that Temperance carried some money around with her (more than Pam had) so she could get breakfast before going to the Jeffersonian. "This is going to be fuuuun" thought Pam.
When Cam saw the figure of Temperance Brennan entering the lab, she was surprised, to say the least. "Dr. Brennan, I thought you weren't coming in today."
"Changed my mind" Pam mumbled. "I'm feeling better." Now Cam was really confused; Brennan had said she was going to stay home to work on her book since there were no cases pending. She didn't say anything, but gave the woman who she thought was Brennan a puzzled look.
Pam did not, of course, know where Dr. Brennan's office was; fortunately, her office had a sign on the door and Pam managed to find the key to it on the ring she had found this morning in the apartment, though people looked at her funny when she took a long time finding it. When Pam walked in, she was startled to find a giant iguana in a cage next to the desk. "That woman is a freak" thought Pam. Unfortunately for Pam, most of the files on Brennan's computer were encrypted, and the few that weren't were completely incomprehensible to her.
Angela came barging into Brennan's office, as usual, without a knock. "Sweetie, I just have to vent to you. I had this horrible date last night….." Pam tried to listen and nod at the appropriate times, and just shut up. Fortunately for Pam, Angela was (for once) too preoccupied with her own troubles to grill her.
A knock came on the door "Dr. Brennan" said Daisy Wick "I've finished reconstructing the skull you requested".
"Thank you" said Pam.
"Aren't you going to check it?" asked Daisy.
"I trust your work" said Pam. "Are you all right Dr. Brennan" asked Daisy in surprise? "I'm fine" mumbled the supposed Dr. Brennan.
Angela just barely registered the conversation, and only really processed it about 15 minutes later.
Pam was hoping that Seeley would visit her office, not knowing that the real Brennan had emailed him about her absence.
Suddenly Cam knocked on her door "you've got a case" and started giving Pam the particulars.
