"A what?" Tempe asked looking him in the eyes; she could not believe what he just said.
"A twin, you know a sister who shares the same looks, the same birthday, the same everything with you." Booth said turning into the parking lot of the museum.
"I know what you mean, but how do you know this? I didn't even know I had one." Tempe said holding her head in her hands, confused as ever.
"as I was looking through your file I came across your birth certificate, taped to the back of it was that of another child, I thought maybe it was a copy of your, but it was real then I saw the name 'Patience Brennan'." Booth explained following Tempe up to the main entrance of the large building.
"How could I grow up not remembering her though?" she asked as they entered the elevator to the lab.
"I don't know, but I'll look into it for you." Booth said as the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened.
"thanks." Tempe said as they got out of the elevator and started to get to work, "just don't tell anyone."
"Not a soul."
"What do we got today Ange?" Tempe asked walking over to the main area where a body, only bones now, lay.
"It seems to be a female around the age of six or seven." Angela replied looking down at her paper drawing the face while Zach and Hodgins looked at the bone fragment.
"Where did the body come from?" Booth asked looking at the same child's remains.
"The FBI, they sent it over and then some woman stopped by, she said the FBI directed her here, apparently she was the one who called them." Zach answered running about from the remains to the screen.
"Is she still here?" Booth asked looking Zach.
"yeah, she's in the lounge back there, Dr. Goodman thought you'd like to asked her a few questions." Angels said pointing behind her, never once taking her eyes off of her work.
"I'll be back." Booth said to Tempe as he took off towards the lounge.
"Hi, I'm agent Seeley Booth from the FBI," Booth introduced himself and showed a young woman his badge. "I'd like to ask you a few questions, ms?"
"Dr. Patience Moore." The young woman said taking his hand and meeting his eyes. Her eyes were a lovely shade of green and her hair was so dark it was almost black. Her fair skin and shape of the face reminded Booth of someone he knew, but didn't know who.
"Dr. Moore," Booth began, but was cut off by the young woman.
"Please call me Patience." She said as they both sat down across from one another.
"Patience, what kind of doctor are you?"
"I'm a pediatrician." She said faking a smile to cover up her tears.
"Where did you find the body?"
"Outside my work, I was going home late last night and noticed something the birds had been picking at, it was near my car, so I went to see what it was. I found the corpse there, it was torn up and badly decomposed." She explained beginning to cry again.
"Where do you work?"
"St. John's hospital."
"Were you the only one there?"
"Yes, I was alone."
"What happened then?"
"I got in the car and called the police, the next thing I know the cops and FBI are everywhere, they picked up the body after taking a lot of pictures then told me to come down here today for some questioning."
"Do you know who the person is?" Booth asked trying to be as sympathetic as possible.
"Yes, it's one of my patients, her name is Nicole Pulaski. I was supposed to see her last week, but she never showed up and her mother never called."
"Is it unusual for Nicole not to show up?"
"Yes, she has a heart disease and requires weekly treatment."
"How old is she?"
"Six."
"How do you know it was her?"
"By this." Patience said pulling out a gold bracelet and handed it to Booth, the name Nicole was engraved on the inside. "She always wore it and it was on the wrist of the corpse."
"Ok, that's all I have to ask for know, just stay close, don't leave town." Booth said walking out of the room.
"I won't I still have patients to see." She whispered and walked out of the building to the outside world.
"What did you find out?" Tempe asked while studying a bone fragment.
"It's a little girl, Nicole Pulaski, age six, and had heart problems that required weekly attention."
"She was so young." Angela whispered and everyone looked at her, remembering the last time they had dealt with a child how emotional Angela had gotten.
"You ok, Ange?" Tempe asked looking her friend in the eyes.
"I'm fine." She lied and looked back to the remains. Then up to Tempe and Booth, Tempe stood there resting the back of her head against Booth's chest as he held her back to him, his hands resting on her shoulders. For that brief moment in time Angela forgot about the case at hand and started to focus on how to get the two stubborn people together. It would be a challenge, but she was up for it.
