This is when they went to LA, it's from the annoying agent they were assigned to work with in LA field office. Enjoy.
1.10 – The Woman at the Airport – Agent Finn
The field office insisted that I need help on this case from D.C. at first I was aggravated that they didn't think that I was capable. Then I discovered that they were in fact sending Dr. Temperance Brennan and her partner Special Agent Seeley Booth out. I'd heard out their unusual partnership, one of the few in the bureau that was between two different organizations. I saw it as an opportunity though. Dr. Brennan's book was being made into a movie and maybe I could convince her to let me write the screenplay.
They were an interesting pair to watch work, though I didn't particularly enjoy it myself. She didn't seem to care about the screenplay and would just ignore me whenever I asked questions or she would leave it to Booth to scold me. He seemed to just thoroughly dislike me, snapping at me whenever I went anywhere with them and eventually he just started leaving me behind. When I confronted him about it, he told me that as far as he was concerned that there was nothing better than the FBI and if I didn't believe that I should just get out.
They were fascinating to watch work though. They were incredibly different, he was a fabulous investigator, his instincts were flawless, he followed every lead, and when it came to science, he trusted her instincts. He took her out into the field with him letting her question when appropriate, but he would always cut me off.
She was a different matter. People weren't her thing, but she had a drive to solve this murder that was only matched only by him. She didn't really seem to care about the movie all she cared about was the murder, and the ridiculousness of plastic surgery. She spent hours in the coroners examination room to find the weapon, talking to the people back at her lab as often as necessary, and going out with Agent Booth into the field.
They seemed to be complete opposites, and yet they worked so well together. Bouncing ideas off each other, bickering, ignoring me was all done with a kind of rapport that a lot of partners the wish that they had. They had a definite vibe about them. I wasn't sure if they were a couple but they seemed to be working on developing a friendship as a basis for something more.
After he'd arrested the call girl responsible, I'd watched them together on the balcony of her hotel. He'd found out the victims true identity, as a favor to her because it was so important to her. They watched the typical LA scene that was occurring on the pool deck to look out at the city companionably, they were working on that friendship, that's for sure.
