Chapter 4 – Little Run In
Brennan brain switched on, but her eyes refused open. She could movement, the shuffling of feet. Then a light tap; something being put down on her desk. She opened her eyes to see Zack's retreating back and a steaming hot mug of coffee on her desk. It took her mind back to when she and the team (including Booth) worked on the case of the girl who got pregnant by her boss, a senator, who then told her boyfriend to murder her.
She raised her head and moved her hand to pick up the mug of coffee. Sipping it, careful not to burn her mouth, and placing it back on her desk, she rubbed her eyes and tried to make them focus on her office. Looking at the computer screen, she determined that she had managed to turn that off and was beginning to work on the file.
Picking up the coffee, she drained the mug, left it on the table, and made her way out of her office.
Booth casually strolled into the lab with a large smile on his face but seeming slightly tired, looking around for Brennan. Seeing she wasn't on the platform he made his way to her office. When she wasn't there either he stepped back out of the office, confused, and came across a grinning Angela.
"What?" Booth asked, shrugging his shoulders.
"What's up Booth?" Angela asked in her flirty voice, careful not to let her fiancé hear, who was currently arguing with Zack on the platform about God only knows what.
"Nothing Ange, you seen Bones?" Booth put his hands in his pockets and stared at her, confusion still evident.
"Maybe. But it's gonna cost you." A devilish grin now replacing her old one.
Booth looked at her curiously. When ever someone asked him for a favour it never ended well for him. "And, what exactly would that be?" His hands out of his pockets and arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Well, I would like to know what exactly you are doing looking for Bren at…" she consulted her watch, "…9 in the morning. And why exactly you looked so giddy and tired looking when you came in? You after something in particular from her?" A teasing tone in her questions, which made Booth slightly uncomfortable and Angela's grin expand even more.
"O.k. Angela I have no idea why you seem so happy, but I'm here to get Bones because we have to go interrogate a lot of people today and she wanted to get a head start. But I don't know why I am looking tired or happy." Booth's nervousness and uncomfortable ness made his speech even funnier for Angela.
"Are you sure you don't know. You and Bren didn't stay up late together last night did you?" She had that inquiring tone that Booth always associated with her trying to insinuate a perfectly harmless situation is actually being dirty situation.
"Yes Ange, I'm sure, I didn't see Bones after I dropped her off here after informing the families. By the way, have you seen her?" He had begun shifting from on foot to the other. To Angela he looked really nervous, but about what?
"Yeh. She spent all night her so she wanted to go home and change in to some clean clothes." Angela said, biting back laughter at the way Booth relaxed and then looked really annoyed at her.
"You mean you have been interrogating me about whether I spent the night with Bones even though you knew perfectly well she was here all night?" Hands on his hips, he looked pretty annoyed, but Angela was too happy to really notice how annoyed he was.
"Yep. Just to watch you squirm. And to see if I could actually get any juicy information out of you." With that, Angela clicked her heels and left.
Booth made his way towards the exit, running into Brennan on the way.
"Oh, sorry. Hey Bones, there you are. You ready to go?" the conversation with Angela had been pushed from her mind.
"Oh, um…yeah sure. Let's, get going." She said, gesturing to the exit.
"Ok." Booth placed his hand on the small of her back to guide her out.
"Wait was I right?" Brennan stopped abruptly; catching Booth off guard and making him almost run in to her.
"Right? About what?" He said, recovering from the near collision.
"The saying, did I get it right. 'Let's get going'?" A smile spreading across her face.
"Yeh. Well done Bones. I am finally getting you join the human species. At last." A grin forming his face and a slight scowled forming on hers, as they both left the lab.
