A sad episode. So this is from Amy and her father's point of veiw.
1.20 – The Graft in the Girl – Amy Cullen & Deputy Director Cullen
Amy Cullen
This cancer is going to kill me, I already know that. What I hadn't expected was to find out that if I had never gone snowboarding and broken my leg so badly that I needed a bone graft I would have never gotten cancer.
Booth and his partner were the ones that discovered it. He had brought his partner in to show my father something to do with whatever case that they were on and she asked to see my x-rays. I didn't really think anything of it at first, but in a few days, my dad informed me that I had been given a cancerous graft from an old man. Booth and Dr. Brennan tracked down every recipient and had them all tested for the cancer. It turns out that there were a few others that had died and everyone else would receive either chemotherapy or a new graft. I was the only one they couldn't save.
I think it bothered the partners more than it bothered me. I was upset that I'd gotten terminal cancer from the bone graft, but I'd already accepted that I didn't have much time left. They both work so hard to catch the bad guy, but this time it wasn't enough and they weren't able to save the person they'd set out to, me.
The only thing that I truly gained from this experience, besides knowing why I was dying, was watching two people in the beginning stages of romance. The light touches, intense gazes, whispered conversations, and shared drive to find the answers were some of the cutest things I had ever seen; I just wished that I had the opportunity to experience it for myself.
Deputy Director Cullen
I have to admit that I have never really liked Dr. Brennan, nothing particularly about her; I just never believed that squints should be in the field. She has been proving me wrong lately though, for starters she hasn't shot anyone recently, and her and Booth's closure rate is nearly 100%, so far there's only been one case that's stumped them and I know that they both work on it in their spare time, hoping to turn up something new. I sure they solve it some time soon.
What really surprised me was how close they have grown as partners in the last nine months. They've become close enough that they didn't even think anything of trying to find out how my daughter got the cancer together, and then they pushed even further and found the other people that were infected, or had died, the man that they received the bone from and person that was responsible for distributing the infected graft.
Watching them work made me wonder if the rumors were true, was there a relationship there, or were they just finally figuring out how to work as partners. I'm certain that Booth would be afraid of what the Bureau would think if they were to start a relationship, so he probably would have told me out right. So for now I'll assume that they're just partners, and be grateful they caught the woman that killed my daughter.
