Chapter 21

Flirting with ones boyfriend

Ms. Front proved to be a sufficient intern. She did everything I asked her to the letter and even got me coffee. I did find it somewhat creepy that she knew exactly how I liked my coffee. Three sugars and a small batch of half and half.

Angela came in with the medical records and the guy's id for me to look at. Carl Alfa, a semi rich business man. He had left behind two grown up daughters one adult son, two ex-wives one being the mother of one of the girls and the other the mother of the other two children. Lastly he left behind his current wife, a young thing by the name of Gaby. In another file I found his bank records. He also left a very large sum of money for everyone; even his previous wives got something. This raised a question. If he left everyone so much why did they take the time to kill him and then mutilate his body?

I gave Front something to do and started going through all of the things this guy had with him when he died and all the things that were missing. His medical records informed me that he had swallowed a coin around the tender age of three. The coin had never left his system. Front came back with the X-rays given to her by Zach. The coin did not appear on any of the X-rays.

"Ms. Front, question." I told her and she jumped.

"Yes Dr. Calloway." said Haley

"This man swallowed a rare coin at the age of three. The coin -according to his last doctor visit about three months ago- was in his system and not causing any problems to the now dead man. My question is, where did the coin go?"

"Surely it is on the X-rays."

"No."

"Then….then…I don't know…"

"This would lead me to believe that whoever killed this man was looking for the coin." I explained. "So much for the coin not posing a threat," Laughing I went to talk to Cam and found her and Angela discussing the case.

"Did you find anything?" asked Cam

"This guy swallowed a coin when he was three. It would help if we knew what kind of coin it was."

"I already know." said Booth. "Our victim swallowed a Shield nickel circa 1873. That coin is worth a lot of money."

"I calculate price to be around five hundred, thousand dollars." said Zach

"Now that is definitely worth killing for." said Cam and we starred at her.

Sweets came in, but not his usual confident annoying self. He looked a little down and a little pleased.

"Something wrong Sweets?" asked Booth.

"Daisy and I broke up." he explained.

"Daisy that ditzy Anthropology major" I asked and he nodded in response. "You broke up?"

"We just didn't feel it anymore." explained Sweets.

"Really, I think you two would be perfect for each other." I said.

"That's what I thought, at first anyway. She talks too much."

"Really," said Booth sardonically.

"It's ok though," admitted Sweets. "I think I need someone who talks less and who is passionate with out being too obsessive."

"Boy do I have a girl for you." I said. "How would you like to go on a date with the most amazing girl you will ever hope to meet?"

"Who is it?"

"That's my secret." I replied with a laugh. "SO…a coin worth that much money…"

"Already interviewed the kids," explained Booth. "Son has a fiancé; oldest daughter's married with a baby on the way. Second daughter's studying in France."

"Aw a baby…" I smiled. "Right, I'm heading back to…hey where'd Zach go?"

I entered my office and saw Haley talking to Zach. I did not enter the room. I just ducked to the side. It wasn't spying. I was simply proving a suspicion I had over said intern.

"So…Dr. Addy…" she said "What are you doing around here?"

"I came in here to drop off a copy of my report on the possible murder weapon. I hope that Althea will be able to help Agent Booth find the culprit." He placed a folder on my desk.

"So…um…can you tell me what the murder weapon is?" asked Haley moving closer to Zach. He moved back away from her, but she moved closer. Far too close for a professional distance. Anger boiled in me. She wasn't going to get away with this…

"If you would please keep a professional distance…" said Zach. But Haley appeared oblivious to his statement. "You appear to be-as the term- hitting on me. I do not like it. I took that as my queue to walk into the room.

"But why…I'm so irresistible…" whined Haley

"Excuse me?" I asked

"Althy…" started Zach already moving as far from Haley as possible.

"Ms. Front need I remind you that this is a work zone. We do not flirt with our coworkers, especially when those coworkers are in a relationship with someone who can terminate your internship." I snapped.

"Who Dr. Saroyan?" she asked.

"No, me and unless you want to spend your entire life working as a Waitress seven at the local bar and grill I suggest you get back to work." she turned around heading to her station.

"That was effective." said Zack.

"We'll see…" I told him and gave him a kiss. "Oh, I'm setting up Sweets with…her."

"Haley?"

"No not her, her…." he wasn't getting it. I whispered the name in his ear and he smiled.

"Oh that would be an interesting idea, but do you really want to put her through that?"

"I won't force her it's strictly voluntary."

"She has no choice." said Zach looking at me and I nodded as I took out my phone. I hit a button and it sent it out.

"Hey it's me…listen…I got an email from you saying you were transferring to D.C. permenantrly...oh already great…so how would you like to go on a date with Dr. Sweets…but…no, no….fine, but only if Zach agrees….great lets say…Tyner's restaurant in Georgetown at eight….ok see you…" I hung up and turned to Zach who read my expression very clearly.

"She wants us there?"

"You really are brilliant aren't you?" he just nodded and pulled me in for a kiss. I have the best boyfriend ever.

After a little chat I went to Sweets office. He sat behind his desk as I entered his office.

"Ah, Dr. Calloway you wish to see me professionally?"

"Yeah, not for anything short of a billion dollars," I told him "I'm here to tell you that you and my girly are all set. Tyner's at eight tonight in Georgetown. Formal dressing and…you'll be there with Zach and me per her instructions. That way it will be less uncanny for you…"

"Um…"

"See you at eight." I said and left. Suddenly I heard my phone ring. "Calloway, yes I checked phone records…yeah there were a lot of payments being issued to an unnamed account. The account was in the name of Victoria Gifford. She is? Well ok then that should be enough for a search warrant? No…well then the rest is up to you." I closed my phone and drove back to the Jeffersonian

Booth had taken Victoria into custody and began interrogating her. It ended well. She wanted the coin as a gift for her fiancé. According to her he was a coin collector and she wanted to give him the perfect gift. NUTCASE!

Jack and Angela had gone off to lunch together and Cam had to go and pick up her daughter from school because she was sick. Booth had to pick up Parker and take him to the Jeffersonian.

"I'm Parker." he said proudly as the eight year old boy came up to where Zach and I sat in my office.

"Nice to meet you Parker." I told him "I'm Althy and this is Zach."

"Cool name."

"Thank you."

"Do you know if my Dad has a girlfriend?" asked Parker

"Why do you wish to know?" asked Zach.

"I heard Dr. Sweets ask Dad why he missed their late appointment and Dad said it was because he had a date."

"You're going to have to ask your dad that one…or Dr. Brennan." I replied.

"Ok." he smiled and ran out to find his dad.

"He's adorable." I muttered. "Its boys like him that really makes you think."

"About what," wondered Zach

"Having Kids someday"
