Zack still hadn't gotten used to the shift in point of view. Everything looked taller, like going back to your elementary school but in reverse.

And people kept touching him. Hodgins guided him with a hand at his back, Dr Brennan put her arm around him, and Angela was running her hand through his hair right now. It was weird.

"Hey, we'll figure this out sweetie. I'm sure they can fix this." Angela was talking to him like she always did though, but Zack wasn't sure what that meant.

"And I'm sure they do this all the time. Imagine what you could do with this technology! Assassins who would be above suspicion, what's effectively immortality for the oligarchy! What do you want to bet this all gets brushed under the rug?"

"Your paranoia is showing, Hodgins."

He started to answer but stopped when they heard the main door to the lab open. Angela leapt up to look over the railing and Zack followed. Hodgins stood on his other side, arms crossed.

There were three people bellow them, two men, one old and one young, and a woman in a black suit.

"Hello?" The woman was examining the room, searching it for people.

Hodgins started walking towards the stairs. "Up here."

Zack went to follow him but was stopped by Angela's hand on his shoulder.

The woman took a badge like Booths out of her pocket. "Agent Dunham, FBI. I'm looking for Zack Addy?"

Hodgins backed away from the stairs, shaking his head. "No. No way." He took Zack by the wrist and started down the stairs. "If you're going to come into our workplace disappearing people, you're going to have to go through me to do it!"

Zack followed him as he marched past the agent and out the automatic doors, turning to see Angela following them with her coat over her arm.
