Deceiver in the Yard: Part 7
Brennan entered the bar usually frequented by the team after tough cases. She immediately caught sight of Hannah sitting alone at the bar.
"Hello," Brennan said, taking the stool next to her.
Hannah smiled sadly. "Hey, Temperance. How did the case go?"
"It went very well. Mrs. White did not confess, but she had razors under her fake fingernails which perfectly match the murder weapon, and she had a motive. It should be an easy conviction once we get all the details in."
"That's good."
"Is everything alright? You seem unusually depressed."
"Seeley and I broke up. Well, I broke up with him."
"Why? Did he do something to upset you?"
"Of course not. He's perfect, but…he's not mine. I'm taking a job as a traveling journalist, based in Chicago."
"You're breaking up with Booth because of a job?"
"Look, Temperance, he told me about what you said in the car after the Lauren Eames case, and everything before that."
"Hannah, I would not try to take him from you. I should not have said that, especially considering that he loves you. Don't break up with Booth because of me. I will not get in your way, or do anything that will harm your relationship."
"I know. That's not why. I'm the one who messed things up, between Seeley and you. I should have stayed in Afghanistan, and let the relationship end. I'm glad I came here though. I hope we can still be friends?"
"Yes, of course."
"Great. Let me know how things work about between you and Booth."
"There can't be anything between Booth and I. I called Hacker and requested that Sweets examine our ability to work together, and reinstate us as partners. If that happens-"
"It wouldn't be the first time the two of you bended the rules. I should be going, I have to make sure I have everything packed. My flight leaves early tomorrow."
"Good luck in Chicago."
"Good luck with Seeley. Watch out for him."
"I will."
Hannah smiled. "It was nice meeting you, Temperance. Keep in touch. Take care of Seeley."
"Okay."
Brennan watched Hannah leave the bar. A minute later her phone lit up, with a call from Booth.
(Okay, so this is the last part of this fanfic-isode. The next one is barely even halfway done, and I hate posting them before I know exactly where they're going. However, if you guys send me reviews requesting another chapter I will post first thing tomorrow, but you won't get as many updates this weekend. I'm really sorry. Writer's block it hitting me hard, and the sad part is I know exactly what I want to happen with this. Anyway, please REVIEW!)
