Chapter 10: Winding Down

Angela was looking over Hodgins' shoulder when she heard someone swipe their card to go onto the platform. She looked up and gasped.

"Sweetie!" she cried running towards Brennan. "You're home!" Angela wrapped her arms around Brennan and Brennan hugged her back.

"What, don't I get a hug too?" said Booth feigning sadness. Angela grinned and hugged him.

"So??" asked Angela.

"So what, Ange?" asked Brennan.

"So, how was Canada?" Angela leaned up against one of the tables and awaited her answer.

"We didn't get to go sight-seeing Ange, but the Ambassador's house is huge," Brennan replied.

"As big as mine?" piped up Hodgins.

"I don't know. I've never been to your house." Zack came up the stairs with a paper in his hand.

"I found it Dr. Hodgins," he announced. Then he saw Brennan. "Dr. Brennan! You're back. How was your trip?"

"It was fine Zack…Hodgins, have you been making Zack find things for you?" asked Brennan. Zack turned to Hodgins.

"See? I told you she wouldn't approve," said Zack smugly. Hodgins looked shocked.

"I was asking him for help!" he protested. Angela looked at him.

"Yeah, you were asking him for help, I have a doctorate in archaeology, and Brennan's seen Monsters Inc.," she said. Booth and Brennan laughed.

"Ah, the humour of a squint," sighed Booth. "Oh, Bones, I need you to sign off on some papers."

"Okay, and I've also got some others that I've signed," replied Brennan. They disappeared into her office. Angela's eyes followed them.

"Where do you think they'll end up tonight?" she asked.

"Wong Foo's," replied Hodgins. "They always end up there."

"No, I meant after that," Angela said exasperatedly.

"Ange, that won't happen for a while yet. But are you busy tonight?" he asked. Angela grinned.

"Guess I am now Hodgie."

"How come I can never get a date?" asked Zack to no one in particular.

"Did you ever ask anyone?" Hodgins questioned.

"No."

"Well, there's your problem Zacko." Booth and Brennan had left Brennan's office and were walking towards the door.

"Hey Bones, want to go get some Wong Foo's?" asked Booth.

"Sure," Brennan replied. Angela called to her from the platform.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do sweetie!" Brennan laughed.

"That narrows it right down," she said. Then they were gone.

"Hey, why aren't we going with them?" asked Angela suddenly.

"What do you mean?" asked Zack. Angela sighed.

"We always wind down after a case at Wong Foo's," she replied.

"Good point," said Hodgins, standing up. "Let's go."

With amazingly no squabbling, Hodgins, Angela and Zack drove to Wong Foo's. The squabbling started after they got in the door. Booth looked up from his food at the bar and Brennan followed his gaze. Booth sighed.

"Sid, the squints are here," he called. Sid appeared from behind the counter and brought three steaming plates of Thai food to the "squints'" booth.

"I wondered how long it would take you to get here," said Sid while putting the food on the table. "Oh, and Angela?"

"Yeah?" replied Angela, eager to dig into her food.

"I have a sneaky suspicion that more happened in Canada then the duo is letting on." Sid grinned and started to walk back to the bar. Angela's face broke out in a huge grin.

"Sweetie!" she cried across the room.

"Ange, nothing happened!" Brennan called back. Angela abandoned her plate of Thai food and rushed to her friend's side. Hodgins and Zack looked at each other and shrugged.

"When do you think Angela's going to give up and return to her food?" asked Hodgins.

"Approximately one and a half minutes," replied Zack.

Zack was right. Approximately one and a half minutes later, Angela returned to the booth with a smile on her face.

"Okay, spill," said Hodgins.

"Well I found out that they met Booth's old friend, who's now a Mountie, and they stayed at a high end hotel called Les Suites Hotel," replied Angela. "But honestly, I think more did happen." She smirked and picked up her chopsticks. Hodgins grinned at Angela's comment. Zack looked confused.

"What more could have happened?" he asked. "They were there investigating a murder."

"And they were in a high end suite Zack," Hodgins said. "Think about it." A look of realisation came over Zack's face.

"Ohhhh," he said, "oh! I get it now!" He looked at Angela. "You think they had –"

"– dinner," Hodgins rushed in. Angela blushed and nodded. She glanced over at Booth and Brennan, who were rising from their seats. Booth tossed a couple bills on the counter and nodded to Sid.

"Thanks Sid!" he said. Booth's hand found its way to the small of Brennan's back as she echoed him.

"Thanks Sid," she said. "'Bye guys. See you tomorrow," she said to the squints.

"Have fun sweetie!" cried Angela. As they walked out, Angela turned her digital camera onto 'video' and aimed it at Booth and Brennan. Booth leaned over and whispered in his partner's ear. As he did so, the hand that was on her back slid across her back so that when he pulled away, his arm was wrapped around Brennan's slim waist. Angela fought back a squeal as the two walked out the door. She ended the video and turned back to Hodgins and Zack with a satisfied smile on her face.

"What are you so happy about?" asked Hodgins.

"Something DID happen and I've got the proof!" said Angela happily. Zack's eyes widened.

"Really?" he said.

"Let's see it!" Hodgins added. Angela handed over her camera and smiled happily. Her cell phone chirped, indicating that she had a text. She flipped it open and read the text:

Ange, NOTHING happened!!
Bren

Angela giggled and smirked as she sent a reply:

Bren, a NOTHING is the worst kind of SOMETHING…or best kind. :-)
Ange

Hodgins looked up from the camera.

"What?" he asked.

"A nothing is always the worst kind of something," she replied. "Or in this case it's the best!"

THE END!
