I bet you were wondering where the murder mystery part of the story was. We should see more of it as I get further into the story.
I still don't own Bones. I guess HH didn't give me that late birthday present after all.
oooooooooooooooooooo
The next day, Booth heard from Agent Shaw that someone had called in with some information about the murder victim from the park. Normally the FBI doesn't get involved with local murder investigations. The local police doesn't like it. What made this case different, was the fact that the victim was a congressional aide. Matt Breaux was working for Congresswoman Michele Landry. The congresswoman was a representative from the southern part of Louisiana and had been for 10 years now. She wanted answers and so did the higher ups in the FBI. The D.C. police were more than happy to let the FBI look for the killer of a congressional aide. If the investigation went side ways then all of those powerful fingers would be pointed somewhere else.
Finding Booth in his office, Agent Shaw said, "Agent Booth? That caller I told you about turned out to be another congressional aide. He works for Congresswoman Landry too. He didn't show up for the meeting I scheduled for this morning. Want me to try to track him down?"
Looking up from his computer monitor, Booth said, "Call the Congresswoman's office first and see if the guy is there. What's his name?"
Agent Shaw responded, "His name is Robert Borel. He said that Matt Breaux had told him something kind of shocking the day he died. Mr. Borel wanted to make sure we knew about it."
Looking back down at his monitor and then back up, Booth said, "OK, If you find Robert Borel then go speak to him. Take someone with you though. We don't know why the guy set up a meeting and then didn't bother to show up. I don't want you taking any chances."
"Of course, Agent Booth. Harris will go with me. He told me yesterday to let him know if I needed any help this week. He said he had wrapped up the Spencer Case and said he has a little free time until he gets another case."
"Good, keep me posted," Booth said, looking back to his monitor. He knew promotions came with more paper work; but, this was ridiculous. He had been working on paper work all morning. He didn't mind paper work. It's just that he never seemed to get out into the field unless Bones was needed and their cases seemed to be getting light lately. He knew violent death was down; but, come on, it didn't stop. The only thing he could think of was the fact that the local jurisdictions were really getting good at solving their own murders.
At around 11:30, Brennan called Booth, "Hi Booth. Would you like to go to lunch with me?"
Grateful for a break, Booth responded, "You bet, Bones. I'll meet you at the diner in 20 minutes. That is if the traffic cooperates."
"Ok", Brennan acknowledged. "I'm bringing someone with me to eat lunch with us. Is that all right?"
Not trying to be suspicious, Booth said, "Sure, I don't mind. Uh, Bones, who are you bringing?"
"I would tell you Booth; but, this person told me not to tell you. He wants it to be a surprise. Bye"
"Yeah, bye," Booth said. Slowly putting his phone down, Booth shook his head. No, She wouldn't." Shaking his head, Booth left his office.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
