Props to mendenbar and nertooold54 for finding the line! What can I say mendenbar I like to sprinkle DB's lines in my stories. There were actually quite a few in Lock Down in the Lab I was surprised no one mentioned them.

I'd really like to thank all of you who review it makes me want to keep posting.

Booth did a brief summary

"Hodgins you get to teach the tech's about particulates. Agents you need to stay with your techs and I will be in the lab in case they need anything I can help with. So let's go. Angela let Sweets know when you have those photos done. Maybe he can help with them and pull any techs you might need," Booth finished off with a smile. Everyone began filing from the room after he had finished.

Putting Brennan's laptop in her bag, he carried it with him to the SUV. They made their way to the lab after arriving he set up the connection to the Jeffersonian as he had seen her do so many times. The screen opened and showed Wendell sleeping in front of the computer.

"Rise and shine sleepy head," Booth said and Wendell shot up straight.

"You take after your professor way to much there Wendell. You finish what she wanted done?"

Wendell rubbed his eyes and flipped Booth the bird.

"No respect, see my squints give me no respect. I take it you finished the x-rays then?"

Wendell got up and walked off. The agents were laughing at them. Booth turned around and looked at the agents.

"When was the last time you worked over night and woke up in your office? These guys do it all the time. How many of you techs have done the same? They work hard and let me tease them so I put up with it," Booth told them in a laughing tone.

"Because of what Wendell did last night we will be able to move forward with evidence. He developed and scanned x-rays. I've seen him do an entire set of x-rays in four hours now multiply that by twenty. You do the math," Booth explained then Wendell sat down with a cup of coffee.

"I'm sending them to her computer now. The x-rays should all be there by," he looked at his watch "no later than 10." Booth nodded.

"You're going home right?" Wendell shrugged.

"I'll probably go catch a nap on Dr. Brennan's couch then work on the remains we brought in last night."

"Hey Sarge are you coming back to DC at any point in the near future?" James appeared over Wendell's shoulder.

"We still have awhile yet and I was put in charge of a case out here so hopefully we'll have it done in two weeks," Booth replied.

James nodded and said, "Hurry up, Hacker is getting on my last nerve."

"Your case files are to go through Cullen. If Hacker causes any more problems, you go to Cullen. Got it?"

"Got it," James said then stepped out of the screen and Wendell looked over Booth's shoulder.

"Bones I'm taking you back to the hotel you have not slept enough and your teaching Wendell bad habits," he teased her over his shoulder.

"Good morning to you too Booth. How did you see me over here? Good job Wendell I see they are coming my way. You should go home and get some sleep," she instructed.

"Bones I would see you if I was blind," Booth stated in an undertone.

"We have a case Dr. Brennan. I was going to take a nap for a few hours on your couch," Wendell told her.

"Fine there is a throw in cabinet next to my display case. Have Clark do the preliminary," she told him with a nod.

"Okay Dr. Brennan," Wendell agreed.

"Does your team dig all in each other's lives like that all the time?" Raburn asked curiously.

"I don't know what that means," she said.

"Yes, we do. They almost need babysitters; they won't sleep or eat unless you tell them too. It's hard with them because they are driven to perfection and completion. She doesn't expect it but they follow her lead. The first case we worked together as partners she left the airport went to the scene did her examination at the scene, went back to the lab pieced the skull together and THEN went home and got probably three hours of sleep before I woke her up. That was a fun phone call. She answered the phone with, what!" The agents laughed.

"That is incorrect. You had me held by Homeland Security and I was questioned for two hours before you got there. Then you kidnapped me until we settled on an agreement of how this was going to work. Then I went to the crime scene, did scene examination, went back to the lab and reconstructed her skull. I went home and Peter tried to pay a booty call. That was why I answered the phone with what," she corrected.

"What do you mean reconstructed the skull?" Juarez asked.

Perotta said excitedly. "She can take a skull busted into a hundred million pieces and glue them back together into a human skull for identification. It's unlike anything you've ever seen."

"Cleo Eller's skull was only 129 pieces," Brennan corrected and Perotta laughed. Booth grinned at the agents.

"There's a reason I told you she was the best," Booth said proudly.

"Anyone who is a doctorate in Forensic Anthropology should be able to do it. It may take them longer than me but they can do it," she absently told him.

Looking at her watch, she realized that the x-rays would soon be done transferring. Pulling up a stool, she nudged Booth to the side and he slid over. She pulled up the first set of x-rays. She glanced over them looking for anything that might help them. She enhanced the x-ray and felt the agents crowd around her to see what she was looking at. She scanned the bones adjusting the angle of the x-ray several times.

Standing up she slipped on her lab coat she left there yesterday and snapped on a pair of gloves. Leaving the room, she stuck her head in the doors until she found one with bones laid out. She walked along the tables until she found the corresponding bones to the x-ray. Glancing down at the table, she sighed in frustration.

"Who put these bones on this table?" Looking around no one answered. Booth sidled up closer and groaned.

"Even I could have done better," he stated rubbing his hand down his face. Grumbling under her breath, she stalked to the room where they were boiling the bones. The agents followed her in and groaned in disgust at the sight before them. She walked up to the glass and sighed. Snapping off her gloves, she retreated to the door of the room they were in.

"I'm going back to the hotel and when I get back you better have those people have the bones laid out right," stalking off she headed to the entrance. She stopped when she heard Booth call out to her.

"Bones wait a minute hang on. Hey what's going on," he stepped in front of her.

"That is unacceptable," she gestured toward the door "Parker could have done a better job."

Booth sighed and looked at her. "So why don't we make them feel dumb. You used to be good at that," he grinned at her and she narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Well Bones you didn't realize you were doing it but you could make an intelligent person feel dumb and I think we should do that here. Hang on." He picked up his phone; she listened as he arranged to have Parker at the lab that afternoon. When he flipped, the phone closed.

"We're in luck the school has half day for parent teacher meetings so Rebecca can drop him off at the lab. We'll show them sloppy work is unacceptable," Booth grinned. Brennan thought about it and nodded then went back into the lab and sat at her computer.

Picking up her phone she called Clark and let him know what was going on. Clark agreed and told her Wendell was sleeping but when Parker got there, he would wake him up. Booth ushered the agents away from Brennan and back into the lab with Hodgins and the techs. Booth brought her coffee but otherwise everyone left her alone. A few hours later she heard a beep from her computer.

She saw the conference link blink and she pulled it up. "Parker is here are you ready for him?"

"Not yet Wendell let me set it up when I connect again I will be," she replied. Wendell nodded and she moved the computer to the room with the bones, she placed it on a rolling table and put the computer down.

She walked across the hall and asked that everyone including the lower level lab technicians join her in the other lab. She walked back to the lab and pushed the tables around so the one she had examined that morning was in the middle.

"Everyone get in a circle around the table so you can see the computer," she instructed. When she was satisfied, she opened the conference link.

Parker's face appeared in the screen. "Hi Bones."

"Hi Parker I'd like you to meet the people we are working with here in Dallas okay?"

"Sure Bones."

"Everyone this is Parker. Parker this is our conference team," she introduced them.

"Hi everyone." Parker said enthusiastically.

"Parker inform everyone how old you are."

"I'm 11 but I'll be 12 soon."

"Okay Parker, can you help me?"

"You need my help Bones? You're really smart what would need my help for?" Booth sighed then chuckled.

"Parker just help Bones okay bub?"

"Okay dad."

Brennan turned the camera on her computer to show him the skeleton.

"Wow who put that together a kindergartner?" Brennan tried not to laugh and choked instead.

"Can you tell me what is wrong with this skeleton?"

"Sure all of it or just some of it?" Parker asked her with a grin.

"As much as you can Parker," Brennan told him with an indulgent grin.

"Well, there is only one shoulder bone or scapula. I know you would rather me tell you the science names. There isn't a humerus on one of the arms but there is a tibia bone there instead. Is this person short or what oh wait there is no fibula on either leg. His spine is all funky wait."

They watched as his tongue stuck out of the corner of his mouth and they saw his finger moving. "There are four extra vertebrae or spine bones. Isn't there suppose to be a coccyx too Bones?"

"Yes Parker there is," she said in affirmation.

"Man the ribs are all messed up. There are some bones missing. And why is the manubrium upside down? Bones you messed up on that one really bad," Parker pointed out and the agents snickered.

"I did not do this Parker but thank you for your help. When we get back I owe you a sundae okay?"

"Cool! I need to help her more often dad. She always says sundaes are bad for me." Booth laughed.

"Now behave for Wendell and don't get in the way okay?"

"Mr. James and I have been making fun of Wendell. He's tired and silly," Parker, told him. Booth laughed again.

"Max is coming we're going to do another experiment. I have to go. Bye dad, Bye Bones!"

The connection was abruptly cut. Brennan closed the computer took a second to compose herself and settled a stern glare on the forensic team standing there. The technicians faces were varying shades of red.

Sorry about the filler chapter but I so had to squeeze Parker in and I thought this was a cute way of doing it as well as teaching the techs that they should have higher standards!

Where o where is this going? Review to find out...
