September – Cam
Dr. Saroyan pulled in to the high school parking lot to drop off her daughter for class. She was dreading the day ahead, just like she had the past few months and just like she will for the coming months until May.
She had hired an anthropologist as a temporary replacement for Dr. Brennan and this guy really was a jerk. He had no idea what he was doing and he ordered her around like he was the boss.
Cam was the one that hired him! Not the other way around. She should be used to it. It was a similar situation she had had with Dr. Brennan. But Dr. Nady was just so…bossy. He could be kind and had a way with the victims' families but he, and the new FBI agent, just weren't like Brennan and Booth. And that was odd to Cam.
Agent Colvin was a bully. He hated working with the Jeffersonian and it was quite similar to the way Booth had been when he first started working as the liaison agent. But at least Booth didn't let his feelings toward the scientists at the Jeffersonian affect his work. This guy criticized her people in the field and in the lab. It wasn't fair, even to the two knuckleheads that replaced Angela and Hodgins for the year.
The new bug and slime guy was actually a girl. Tiffany Silva was a piece of work. Sure, the same could be said about Hodgins but this chick loved dirt a little too much. She loved the way bat guano smelled. Not even Dr. Hodgins would admit to that.
And then there was Angela's male counterpart, Ryan Fontenot. The Frenchman had come straight from art school to do recreations for the team. He and the English Mr. Nigel-Murray shared a love for random trivia bits and hit it off. Cam thought it was quite funny that the two foreigners became such good friends but it was difficult now having two Vincents around.
Sweets was the only one left with her and even the kind, baby-faced doctor was getting on her nerves. Cam could only handle so much whining about how his love life is ruined because Daisy left. She has told him several times to lose the attitude and to act like an adult. He has for the most part but, on occasion, Sweets slipped and whined to Cam about his broken heart.
She said goodbye to Michelle and pulled out of the parking lot. She steered her car toward the Jeffersonian dreading the day ahead.
When she arrived to her office, she opened up an email and sent one mass email to her friends.

Dr. Brennan, Dr. & Mrs. Hodgins & Agent Booth,
While I know some of you are enjoying your time off, others maybe not so much, it is my duty to ask you to consider returning to the Jeffersonian and/or FBI as soon as possible. The case load is falling behind and your temporary replacements are, for a lack of a better word, inadequate.
Dr. Saroyan

Dr. Saroyan,
I will not be returning until next May. If you would like, I can provide you with a list of anthropologist who have a different work ethic than Dr. Nady.
Best,
Dr. Brennan

Cam,
Are our replacements really that bad? We'll think about coming back to DC sooner than a year but we've barely had time to really take in Paris. We'll think about it. I'm sure our replacements are as bad as you say they are.
Jack and Angela
XXXXXXXXX
Camille,
Just call Hacker and request another agent. Say something like, the working chemistry between my anthropologist and your agent isn't flowing as well as I had hoped. Hacker will find you someone else. As much as I want to get out of the desert, I can't until May. I just got back from one mission and we're leaving tomorrow for another. If you need more help, email me by tonight and I'll see what I can do.
Seeley
