A/N: I apologize for my absence but I'm suffering from a bad case of writers' block and all my stories have been placed on hold. Hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 2: Time for school!
Booth and Brennan walked into the school and met with an officer.
"Agent Booth?" asked the officer. Booth nodded. "Jane O'Reilly. I was assigned to this case and told you two would be coming. The body's this way." She jerked her head and led them into a hallway. O'Reilly showed them the locker and Brennan stepped in to examine it.
"Victim is female, Caucasian, and in her mid to late teens," she said. "No obvious cause of death."
"This locker isn't assigned to anyone," said O'Reilly. "The girl with the locker next to it noticed a wretched smell coming from the locker. She assumed that someone put a stink bomb in it so she didn't open it. That is, she didn't open it until she saw some sort of goo seeping out of the bottom. She opened it and found this." Booth jotted all the information down.
"Have any of the students been missing?"
"Of course. People skip school, they get sick; there really is no way to know if a student is missing or if they're skippers."
"Right. Thank you for your help Officer." Booth nodded to her.
"Always a pleasure." O'Reilly turned on her heel and left Booth and Brennan with the remains.
"So, Booth," said Brennan. "Can we get this back to the lab?"
Back at the lab, Zack did his preliminary exam and Cam took samples for a tox screen and Hodgins took samples for analysis.
"Zack, after you clean the bones, see if you can determine the cause of death and bring the skull to Angela as soon as possible. I'll be in my office if you need me." Brennan turned and walked off to her office with Booth hot on her tail. Once the door had but shut behind them, the blinds were closed.
"Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!" squealed Angela.
"Yes Angela?" said Hodgins, while rubbing his ears.
"Did you just see that?" she asked excitedly.
"See what?" Angela rolled her eyes.
"Booth and Bren went into her office and shut the blinds. There's something going on between them."
"Much as I agree with you Ange, I don't think standing here instead of outside that door is going to help." Angela's eyes lit up.
"Good point. Why didn't I think of that?" She ran off towards the office door and lightly pressed her ear against it.
"It's completely irrational Booth!" said Brennan's muffled voice.
"How? Unethical maybe, but not irrational," retorted Booth. "Come on Bones it'll be fun."
"I don't see how."
"It just will. I promise."
"What if the team finds out? Can you even imagine how that would look?"
Oh my gosh, thought Angela. Booth wants them to have sex in the office! They are totally together. Angela bit her lip to keep from squealing.
"It would look like I finally convinced you to step outside of your comfort zone."
"But a day at the zoo with you and Parker?" Brennan whined to Booth.
A/N: HA! I bet you didn't see that coming. Or did you?
