Chapter 25

Psychology

Sweets and I sat there. It was creepy how he could sit there and not say anything. But finally a question came.

"What was your initial response to getting an intern?"

"I wasn't particularly happy having had bad experiences with the interns I worked with in Egypt."

"Upon meeting Ms. Front what was your reaction to her?"

"She was efficient and did everything I asked of her to the letter."

"But…"

"But she began to flirt with Zack. At first I simply informed her that I was dating him and that her attempts were inappropriate in the work place"

"Did the advances stop?"

"No, she began wearing inappropriate attire to work and I caught her on top of Zach on the floor of my office. I prior to that threatened to end her internship."

"Was that the end?"

"No, she attempted one last time in the basement when Zach was waiting for me. He made it clear to her that he wasn't interested."

"Could it be he only said that because you were there?"

"He didn't know I was there." I explained "until I came down and told Ms. Front to hand in her resignation."

"How can you be sure that Zach wasn't interested in her?" asked Sweets and I had to blink to register what he was insinuating.

"Zach loves me. He wouldn't do that."

"Ok, why was Haley interested in Zach?"

"She wasn't Dr. Sweets; my Daddy paid her ten grand to do it. I learned that from a Blog an ex-friend of hers wrote. So if I was going to kill someone it wouldn't have been her." He didn't laugh; he simply sat there and jotted something down on his pad.

"Your father paid her? Why would he do that?"

"Because I love Zach and I don't want to be a Suzy-homemaker wife to a jar head. That was the image he had for me. I had different ideas and in the end my IQ overpowered his ideas for me. But he isn't one to give up." I was getting so annoyed. I felt like a patient. He was analizing me, judging me.

"I see…and after that did you have any contact with Ms. Front?"

"Not directly, but she did leave a rather nasty message on the answering machine. She threatened me with a law suit."

"And did that make you angry?"

"No, it amused me because she had no case."

"Has Zach ever cheated on you?" asked Sweets.

"Excuse me?" I said angrily "Zach would never do something like that."

"My bad." said Sweets and wrote a few notes down on his pad. "Did you kill Haley Front?"

"No, I didn't. Now if you don't mind Lance. I have things to do."

He left the house and I didn't feel very positive or optimistic. There was no reason for me to kill Haley, really. But I had to wonder. Who was I trying to convince myself or them?

As soon as Sweets was gone from the grounds I went back to the unofficial stuff. All the evidence seemed to point to an ex-boyfriend. Well if I was in his shoes I'd be angry too. Who could I inform of this news?

I grabbed the phone and dialed Jack. "Jack….yeah, yeah, he just left. Listen, I think you guys should look at an ex. I found male DNA on her clothes….I am aware of that….just tell Booth…trust me…alright bye."

The guy was arrested that day. Zach, Angela and Jack came home and we had dinner together. I made my mom's famous risotto. It had rice and beef and carrots cut into small pieces added in with my special sauce made it perfect.

Zach sat next to me and Angela and Jack sat on the other side of the kitchen table. Why Jack needed a counter and a table was beyond me.

"So the guy was arrested?"

"Most definitely!" replied Zach, "Agent Booth chased him for eight blocks." I laughed a little.

"And the best news of all…." began Jack

"Is that I can go back to work." I finished for him, "Oh Zack what would you like to have for lunch tomorrow?"

"I have macaroni and cheese every day, excluding for the few times we went out for lunch."

"Ok," I replied. "Zach, will you spend the night?"

"I'd love too."

The following, extremely happy morning Zach woke up next to me and looked outside. Something out there intrigued him because he began to nudge me to wake up. "Althy look outside."

"Eh," I whined "I'll look later." I checked my clock "I still have a half an hour to sleep." I turned over and closed my eyes. Zack wasn't happy about my lazy response and continued to nudge me.

"Come on it is important for you to see this before it seizes."

"Fine, you'll pay for this later." I got out of bed wearing my warm Spiderman Pj pants and a red tank top. I put on my glasses and looked out into the window. Snow was falling at a nice steady pace. It was falling softly, by my calculations it all started happening around two am. "Alright I won't revenge on you, but…you did wake me up."

"If you are expecting an apology…"

"I'm expecting my good morning kiss." He walked over and kissed me. The fact that I was a half an inch shorted then him annoyed me, but did make kissing very easy and very enjoyable.

"Will you be ok during the trial?"

"I'll be fine."

"Come on we have to go to work" I nodded and we walked downstairs to the kitchen. Angela sat looking relaxed and careless, unlike she did every other morning before work.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Jack

"It's snowing and Cam just called. We get half the day off because of the storm. It'll be comming in deep all day."

"What will we do?" asked Zach.

"You'll see how powerful I am when I have a snowball in my hands." I laughed evilly.

We had breakfast and I decided against packing lunch and just packed a little snack. I mean what was the point of packing a lunch if we were going home half way through the day.

The snow was falling more violently. Uppon our arrival Cam had posted info on the Chistmas party. That sounded like fun. Anything was better than going home to Michigan. Dr. Brennan walked over to me. She seemed calm and had something on her mind.

"I am glad you are not the murderer." she replied

"Oh well….thank you Dr. Brennan," I replied. I entered my office and took off my jacket. It sat on the hanger and I got to work. I hadn't checked my work e mail and began on that. Oddly enough I had two emails in my box. One was from a State department Agent. She informed me that everyone was going to go through a security review to see if we can work on classified cases or not. And speaking of security Jonah's was the second email. It was a rather nasty email. He was yelling about Haley Front, it was funny how he knew her. He then continued on and on about how Zach was ruining my chances of getting with a much more-I believe the word he used was-macho man. I deleted the email.

A security review, I had to wonder if Agent Pickering remembers me. I did hope that she wouldn't be doing the review. Would I even be checked? Jack wasn't the last time, but then the whole review was suspended. It took them this long to have another one. Really makes you think about how slow the state department really is.

But I didn't need to worry about that now. Right now I had work to do…


Ooh a security review. I know I'm recycling old episodes, but they are going to be different from the episode mentioned. Also Jonah has not yet disappeared from this story. Keep that one in mind. The court aspect will have to wait because it usually takes a while for cases such as these to reach the courts. I will try not to keep you waiting too long. My next update will be closer to Christmas because I am waiting for the time to catch up with the story. So please keep reading and keep reviewing.
