Author's Note: So everyone knows, I wrote this story
on a whim and I have no idea where to take this. Any suggestions you
have would be much appreciated!
I walked to Angela's office, where she sat at the computer confused.
"What is it Angela?" I asked, though I already knew what it must be.
"This isn't coming out like Brennan. The cheekbones are too high, the eyes are a different shape, she's got signs of slightly darker skin than Brennan has… I don't get it." She said.
"We made a mistake. The bones aren't Brennan's. The journal was a coincidence. I think somewhere it says she's not dead." I told her. She looked at me.
"Wh… what?" She said, amazed. Her best friend wasn't dead, it was no surprise she'd be amazed.
"Bones isn't literally bones. At least not yet." I told her, smiling.
"Oh my god!" She exclaimed, then jumped up and hugged me. I hugged her back.
"So the question is, who is this woman. She needs to be identified. I think we have a serial killer, and if we do, Brennan isn't safe." I said, she nodded.
"I'll do it right away." She said. I smiled at her.
"Thanks Ange."
I walked out of her office to where Zach and Hodgins had the remains.
"The victim appears to be around Dr. Brennan's age, but upon further examination of the bones I don't see how we missed it wasn't Dr. Brennan. She is slightly shorter than her, though not by much. I don't think we did much for identification, it must be why we couldn't see it was her. There's no other way I can see it." Zach commented as I watched him take samples.
"Well, keep working on identifying these remains." I said. "I called the chief, it's officially FBI. But I'm getting a new partner incase this goes toward Bones." I rolled my eyes. "I apparently would be too emotionally involved."
Just then, the girl I had been partnered with walked in. My jaw dropped. They didn't. The wouldn't.
"Agent Booth." She said, grinning.
They did.
