Here's the last one for today, it's from the episode that they are in quarantine in the lab over christmas, so it is from Goodman's point of view.
1.9 - The Man in the Fallout Shelter - Goodman
Trapped in the anthropology unit of the medico-legal lab was not my idea of a good Christmas, I have two little girls at home who's faces lighting up as they open their presents Christmas morning, that the very essence of Christmas. The quarantine however did give me the opportunity to watch Dr. Brennan and her now partner Agent Booth. Its ironic how well they seem to work together, and are even friendly with each other, given her original misgivings about being a liaison with the FBI.
He was concerned about her take on Christmas, wondering why she was such a Grinch, until Ms. Montenegro pointed out that Dr. Brennan's parents disappeared just before Christmas when she was fifteen. That explained a lot to all of us. Booth reacted best to it though, taking it in stride not trying to bring it up with her but rather he helped her solve the case that had started this whole mess. He was not much help as far as the actual forensic work went but he did his part over the phone making the contacts he needed to get her as much information as possible, and theorizing with myself over the man's habits and plans.
They solved it, as per usual and Dr. Brennan tried to track down Ivy Gilisby. She sat in her office making phone call after phone call on Christmas Eve trying to track the woman down. Booth watched her carefully through the windows of her office while he took part in our resourceful Christmas celebration. He was not going to interrupt her but he was constantly making sure that she was ok.
When we were freed from the quarantine, everyone was quick to leave except Dr. Brennan. Agent Booth was leaving quickly with the rest of us when he realized that she was not with us and he stopped. I am not sure of the details but I am sure that he wanted to make sure that she knew he would celebrate with her if nothing else, that she was not alone.
I am continuously surprised that their partnership continues, Dr. Brennan has driven away numerous different agents and yet there is something about him that has caused him to stick. She may have complained about working with him in the first place, but now she will not work with anyone besides him. He takes her out into the real world allows her to live a little, which was my original goal in assigning her to the FBI, but I had not thought that she would really take to it as she has. I can only assume it is because of the man, one who she has come to respect and maybe even consider a friend. Only time will tell, how their relationship will evolve, and it will be an interesting process to watch.
I hope you liked them, I'm going to keep working of season one, some of them are hard because the relationship we see in season four definately doesn't exist yet. Alright that's all.
