Disclaimer: I don't think I have posted one of these in a while, so here it goes. I do not own Bones or its creators. All I own are my own ideas and my dead body in this story… (Evil laugh)
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Is she there?" Bones asked Booth. He just shrugged
"Hello?" Booth yelled through the door, which was then opened by a woman dressed in a ratty t-shirt and Tweety Bird pajama pants.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm Special Agent Seeley Booth with the FBI. This is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan with the Jeffersonian."
"FBI? What's going on?" she asked.
"Are you Ann Walker?"
Ann nodded. "What is going on?" she asked again.
"Can we come in?"
Ann nodded and opened the door to let in the agent and the anthropologist. As they sat down… "Ann, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your sister is dead. She was murdered"
"Amy dead? I…why would someone kill her?" She asked, her voice cold and emotionless. Seeley Booth took notice of this, but remained impassive. "Where were you last week?"
"I was here, I had to work."
"Where do you work?" Booth asked her.
"I…I'm a teacher's assistant at Jefferson Community College."
"Your sister just graduated from there didn't she?"
"Yes she did. Why are you asking me this? Do you think I killed her?"
"We have to cover all angles." Booth said.
"Yeah, of course," she said. "Sorry, I … how was she killed? How did she die?" Ann asked them, leaning against the wall, seeming almost unaffected by this.
"We're not quite sure yet." Said Brennan.
"Did she get into any arguments or have any problems with anyone?" Booth asked Ann.
Ann just shook her head. "No, no one…except maybe her mom. They argued a bit before she left."
Having finished the conversation, Booth and Brennan left Ann Walker's apartment. As they headed to the local PD where they had set up headquarters while they were investigating Amy Ward's murder Brennan said to Booth. "Something's off about her."
"Everyone deals with grief in their own way Bones."
"Perhaps Booth, but her actions and body language…
Booth chuckled. "Careful Bones. Someone might think you are picking up some psychology techniques."
"Psychology is a soft science. I'm merely using what you deem to be observational skills."
"Whatever you say Bones."
