Chapter 34
Brennan held Booth's hand as they walked into her living room-filled with feds. The one who had left them earlier in her room waved them over. "Can we make this quick?" Booth asked—more like demanded. "We want to get to the hospital to see her father and Angela."
The man nodded. "I just have a couple of questions and then you can come to headquarters and finish the report yourself." They started to sit down but he stopped them. "This won't take that long." He handed Booth a pad of paper and a pen. "You know what I need."
"I don't understand," Brennan said. "Why are you being so nice?"
"The director ordered us to Dr. Brennan. He's at the hospital."
"What about Cline and Walsh? Any idea how or if they were involved?" Booth asked as he wrote.
"Not yet. You know these things take time. But we'll handle it."
"I want to be kept appraised of what's going on."
"Agent Booth…"
"I got shot and they are dead. Things could have gone much worse for Bones and Angela if Max Brennan didn't show up. We all deserve to know if Cline and Walsh were involved or innocent scapegoats. And so do their families. You WILL keep us informed, is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
Booth handed him the note pad and pen. "We'll be at headquarters later. Let's go Bones."
"Geez Booth. Though I agree with you about finding out about your two co-workers, you were a little harsh with that Agent. He was just doing his job."
"Just doing his job—I know that Bones. I just," he sighed, "when it comes to you, I get a little protective, all right?"
She smiled at him. "I know. And I admit I occasionally find it attractive. But I'm not so sure that other people do."
"Screw other people."
"No--" Whatever she was going to say, Brennan lost her train of thought—her focus rather as Booth's lips came crashing down on hers.
