Chapter Three: Thai Food Comfort
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones.
A/N: I'll try to make my chapters longer. Thanks for the reviews! To answer one question, I won't tell you yet. I left you on a cliffie, didn't I? I always wanted that to happen to my readers. My dream came true. Anyway, I put the revised first chapter yesterday. Enjoy the new chapter! Also this chapter is longer than usual.
Booth's SUV pulled up to a newly abandoned amusement park.
"An amusement park?" Bones asked.
"Yeah," Booth replied, "Didn't you read he file?"
"Yeah," she said, taking out the file and reading it. "The amusement park was doing repairs on all the rollercoaster for six months. One of the repairmen came to fix the car on the rollercoaster, 'Burn!' What he got was a burned body. The rollercoaster is the most popular of all of the rollercoasters. I don't get it."
"You don't get what?" Booth asked.
"How it is the most popular ride. Fire is shot at you while you are sailing in an underground tunnel. Even the name sounds frightening."
"It's sound like fun." He smiled. They made there way to the tunnel opening. They quickly jogged down the stone steps to be greeted with an elevator. "Wow, this might be a great ride!" They made there way down aproximately one floor. The doors opened and the FBI was asking the repairmen questions. Bones made her way, led by Booth, to the car. Inside the car was a badly burnt victim that was leaned on the right railing of the car. The car was a mine cart.
"The victim is male, late teen to early twenties," Bones started working, "He's been dead a few months determined by the deterioration. There are fresh burn marks on both of the railings. I'm going to need to bring back some of the soil and the car. Can you call the team to bring a truck over?" She looked at Booth.
"Can't we just ride it back?" he asked, smiling.
"No, it will compromise the evidence. And how is it going to work without no electricity or a railroad? You know that, Booth."
"It's just a joke."
"Oh, okay." She smiled. She got the joke before she even started talking. She just liked the way Booth looked when he was correcting her.
Back at the lab...
The new body was on the platform. Hodgins looked very giddy when Bones gave him the soil. Daisy was busy working on the burnt victim.
"We're going to need to remove all of the flesh to see the bones underneath," Daisy said, "I'll get Dr. Saroyan right on it."
"Thank you, Daisy," Bones said. She made her way to Angela's office and knocked on her door. "Hey, Ange. I need to talk to you?"
"The hunky FBI agent ask you out?" Angela asked and smiled.
"Booth?" Angela nodded. "No, it's not that. It has to do with another one. Actually a former agent." Bones said the last sentence very quietly and she sighed. "Sully's coming back, Ange."
"Sully? He's coming back? After he left you all alone, which I'm thankful for, with the hunky FBI agent?"
"Yeah," Bones whispered. "Ange, do you think I need to be back with Sully? It's been years and I'm scared he's going to go on another adventure and leave me all alone again."
"He'll leave you alone, with Booth." Angela smiled. Bones left Angela's office and went to hers. She spent her last three work hours on the new victim. She left, Booth waiting for her in the parking lot.
"Hey, Bones," he said brightly.
"Take me home, please," she said, opening the passenger door. The seat had Thai food on it and she smiled as she lifted them and set them on her lap. The warmth radiated to her legs. Booth took her to her apartment. "Could you sleep over tonight?" she asked as they pulled up. Booth was taking aback by this but agreed. They entered her apartment and Bones set down the food on her table. "Want a beer?" she asked.
"Sure," he said, taking the food out of the bag. She came over and gave him one of the beers. They ate in silence. It was a Friday night so they didn't have to go into work tomorrow. It was around nine thirty when they finished eating. They took a few more beers and started a conversation while sitting on the couch. Booth couldn't help but stare at her lips. Focus, Booth, he thought, This is your partner. They stopped talking at around eleven. Bones grabbed a pillow and a blanket from her closet and set up a bed on her couch. Booth sat on the couch and thanked her. She sat on the couch, so close to him that their knees were brushing, and just stared.
"What?" he asked. He didn't finish the sentence. Bones had kissed him. Booth took a few seconds to process what was going on. He kissed back. The kiss was gentle with a little bit of tongue. Bones broke the kiss and headed straight for her bedroom.
I heart cliffies. - giggles - I'm sorry but I love cliffies. Okay, spoiler alert, the next chapter is the day that Sully comes back. You probably already knew that. - laughs - Okay sorry. Real, spoiler alert, there may be kissing. I won't say who! Haha. I'm so evil. Please review!
