C.14- Fun House

Oh my GOD, guys, i apologize for the (almost) three month (How ridiculous!!!) wait. It seems that a burden after burden keeps popping up in my way. Again, I apologise, and I will continue. Please say nothing about the wait; it was because of reasons I don't feel are appropriate to discuss here. Please enjoy this chapter, and the rest, until the end. Enjoy!
Words:)

XOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXoX

When Perotta and Brennan walked in, Hodgins' video was playing on the over-head projector. Watching herself on film, Brennan had decided that wrestling Perotta was not the most rational thing to do. Shortly after the call from Cullen, Brennan had discovered yet another clue from the 'Black Hole', and quickly realised this guy sucked ass at writing riddles.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Booth is scared of clowns. Go to a house where you are sure not to frown." As the words replayed several times throughout Brennan's head, and a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

'Mirror, mirror, on the wall? What the Hell?'

'How would he (or she) know Booth was scared of clowns? Its someone close to him....'

'A house of no frowns. Wait a second... Fun House!'

Brennan Yelled 'Yes' across the room, scaring an unhappy Cullen.

That probably wasn't the most rational time to make a prediction.

In fact, it had to be the worst time in the fucking world.

XOOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"Teddy, have you found a non-clown-ed door yet?"

"Um, no, I haven't. I have about 10 more doors yet."

"Shit. What do we do now?"

"Pray like hell that your girlfriend finds us before one of the clowns comes alive and kills us."

Booth wasn't sure if he had cringed more at Teddy mentioning Bones as his girlfriend, or at the terrible thought of a possessed clown killing him.

"Found it!" Teddy slung a door wide open and walked through it. Booth couldn't stop the grin that took over his face.

'One door closer to Bones...'

"Who the Helldo you two think you are? Wrestling? Hiding evidence? This is ludicrous! Unacceptable! Irrational!" Cullen bellowed ,red-faced, at the women. They both took a slight step back.
Cullen stood up and walked towards the women.

"I put you two on the case because you are the best! No one is more skilled, and you both have a connection with Agent Booth. I figured this would draw you two closer, help solve the case, but no. Instead, I find out that you two are fighting over him like lovestruck teenagers. If I find one more word of this bullshit, I am calling in the rookies. You two will be off the case. This is the last warning. The only reason I am letting you off the hook is because of your skills. Understood?"

They both nodded their heads and exhaled. It wasn't over.

Yet.

"So, Sarge, are you ready to fully admit your feelings for your partner?" Booth groaned.

"No, Teddy, I'm not." Teddy pointed a finger at him.

"So, you love her, your just not ready to admit it? That's bullshit..."

Booth opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Teddy.

"Do not deny it, Sarge! You talk about her in your sleep. Some of those thoughts , for future reference, are better kept in your head. I don't want to hear on and on about her soft breasts or her..."

"Enough! Okay, I love her! A lot! I wish I could come out with it and just be happy, but I can't. That fucking line is in the way. Always had been. Always will be! She doesn't love me back, and that's fine with me! As long as she trusts and respects me, that's fine! I love her too much to do it. I don't want an awkward partnership if she declines all, and I certainly don't want our partnership terminated. I don't know what to do, Teddy!"

"When she finds you, kiss her!" Teddy said it like the most obvious thing in the world.

"What makes you think she will find us?"

"I don't know. Gut feeling."

Haha, naturally.

Perotta and Brennan walked out of Cullen's office silently, and as soon as they got out of the door, faced each other.

"Booth is at a Fun house." Brennan said, no emotion in her voice.

"How do you know this?"

"The clue. Clowns, house, no frowns. Sounds pretty 'Funhouse' to me."

'Which one?"

"One that has clowns.."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious. That would be all of them."

"I wasn't finished!" Brennan glared at her. "It also has to be closed or abandoned currently. Think about it, what open fun house would allow a body in?"

"Point."

And it was back to work, no competition involved.
