A/N Get ready for twists
Part 11
Brennan's flight was on time for once she had wished it wasn't, because she didn't want to say good bye to Booth just yet. this is crazy I've left been away from Booth working on cases before I can do this., but this time it was different they were together she thought as she watched Booth wave from the gate was it just her imagination or did he look a little sad?
The fight was uneventful the in flight meal was bad, but not the worst she'd had .the plane had just landed at salt lake City international airport, Brennan had just collected her bags when she saw him a pimple faced scrawny kid with Brown hair holding a sign that said DR. T. BRENNAN in size 16 font she walked towards the sign suddenly feeling like a panel member at a really bad conference! This kid had probably been at some conference that she'd been asked to speak at!
"Dr. Brennan?"
At her nod the kid continued "I'm Rusty Jakes, and I'll be your assistant while you're here."
He shook her hand he had a very strong handshake.
"Pleased to meet you Mr. Jakes."
"You can call me Rusty."
"Ok can you tell me what I'm going to be doing here Mr. Jak… Rusty."
"I'd better let my boss explain that we'll be there soon. "
He gave her a shy smile as he climbed into the dark green SUV.
It was a silent 45 minute ride to the University, Brennan didn't mind she was tired, confused and she missed Booth a lot.
When they got to the College Rusty parked and led Brenan to the science building and to the 3rd floor down the hallway past non descript doors to the end of the hall, Rusty knocked once and was gone with a nod in Brennan's direction. Something is going on here she thought…
"Come in."
She'd know that voice anywhere, but it couldn't be him if it were Cam would have told her…
Brennan turned the Knob
"Ah, Dr. Brennan wonderful to see you again."
She stopped for a split second, because sitting behind the desk in a leather chair was Dr. Daniel Goodman.
"It's great to see you again Dr. Goodman, I didn't know you were working here now."
"I started 6 months ago."
"How are things at the Jeffersonian? I heard about Mr. Addy, a shame really he was so bright."
"Yes, he is and it is."
"Things at the Jeffersonian are great, Dr. Hodgins and Angela are married now, and they have a son Jack Jr. who likes to play with dirt just like his father."
"How are things with you and Agent Booth?"
"Things with Agent Booth and I are great we are both very good at our jobs and working together." If Dr. Goodman noticed Brennan's slight smile at the mention of Booth's name he didn't comment.
It's so nice to see Dr Brennan happy with Agent Booth and the smile she had at the mention of him she deserved to be happy, she'd been through so much. Thought Goodman
"Not to be rude, but why am I here Dr. Goodman?"
"As you know my team was digging at a site for prehistoric animal bones. We found some human bones that look to have been buried for 4 years, so this is quickly dropping out of my area of expertise and into yours."
Brennan nodded, "what have you found?"
"The femur and patella of the left leg, we stopped digging once we realized what we had found."
"I'll need unrestricted access to the area and the FBI needs to be called."
"They've been notified an Agent Walker will meet us there at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow.
"If you'll follow me I'll show you to your temporary lab and you can look at the remains."
She followed him to the next hallway to a lab not as big as her own, but it looked sufficient.
The remains were male between the ages of 12-15 who had at one time had 3 pins in his leg, but they were removed before his death.
"Dr. Brennan, there is a room for you at the Night In hotel already paid for. I'll have Mr. Jakes take you there now if you'd like"
"Yes, Thank You Dr. Goodman"
"Oh, Dr. Brennan? I know Mr. Jakes looks like he just fell off the turnip truck yesterday, but he is VERY bright so use him please he still has a lot to learn and could learn a lot of it from you."
"I don't know what that means."
Goodman chuckled as he called Mr. Jakes something's never change he thought
