"So the body was dried out? Like mummified, but not?" Buffy asked as they went over what had been found.
"Well I don't have all the answers." Booth said. "But I can take you down to the lab where Bones, no doubt, has come up with something."
He couldn't help the slight smile that graced his face at the thought of seeing her. Why? He wasn't quite sure yet. 'Because she's a friend. Yeah, that has to be it.' He was brought out of his thoughts by Buffy's question.
"Bones?"
"Oh that's just what I call her, cuz…she works with bones…but um her name is Temperence Brennan. She's our forensic anthropologist."
"Ah, ok."
They made their way down to the lab, Xander and Spike still cracking jokes about Angel and Booth. When they arrived Booth's heart did an involuntary summersault at the sight of his favorite squint. She turned around and smiled when she saw him.
"Oh hey Booth." She said as she approached the group. " You must be the Agents they called in for this case. Great we're completely baffled. This is way beyond anything we've worked with before and what we have been able to uncover we're unable to produce a solid hypothesis derived from fact and not just speculation."
They just looked at her with blank faces. Till Xander said: "Did any understand half of what she just said? Anyone other that Willow I mean."
No one responded.
"Great. Then I'm gland I'm not the only one who feels dumb."
"She has that effect on people." Booth said gently. "Bones this is Agent Harris-"
"Just call me Xander, we don't really like do the whole formal thing. Just our first names are fine, except for Spike. I think he likes the power illusion the whole agent thing gives him."
"Hey! You bloody one-eyed wanker! I do not have power issues, at least I don't pretend the pirate look is cool!"
"Hey, Beavis, Butthead, can we get back to the intros here!" Buffy snapped. "Yeah first names are fine. I'm Buffy, this is Willow, the two bickering are Xander and Spike and the broody one is Angel."
Bones looked at Angel and Booth." Are you two related?"
"NO!"
"Just asking. You know this really is fascinating. Identical strangers. I mean the chances in genes being so similar are-"
"Ok Bones, maybe we could get back to the case at-" Booth was cut off by Angela coming over.
"Whoa! Booth-"
"No there is no relation! Just a coincidence."
"Not complaining. Just saying, twice the hotness for the price of one." Angela walked up and stood directly in front of Angel, ignoring the glare from Buffy. "Hi I'm Angela."
"Uh Hi. I'm Angel." The souled vampire replied awkwardly.
"The name fits." She said sweetly.
"Yes it does." Buffy said, pushing past her. "I'm Buffy, Angel's girlfriend. Nice to meet you." She said just as sweetly.
Angel held back a smirk as his beloved's aggressiveness. He had been accused of being jealous on more that one occasion, but it was nothing compared to her.
"Oh… um nice to meet you too." Both women's demeanor had gone from sickeningly sweet to very cold very fast. Bones stepped in to help her friend before this young women rearranged her face.
"Um these are my colleagues you and Angela have already been introduced so come on Angela…" She pulled her friend away as the other squints stepped forward. "this is Zack and the one in the looking at the bugs is Jack."
They exchanged hellos.
Then Zack said "You sure you're not twins. I mean we could check…"
"No!" Angel exclaimed. "I mean no thanks. No DNA tests for me thanks. We're not twins." 'Can't be, since I'm not human. Wonder what they'd think of my DNA. Probably scare the hell out of them.'
Zack just shrugged his shoulders and walked back to where Jack was.
"Well anyway," Bones spoke up. "I'm guessing you're here about the remains ad not if Angel and Booth are twins."
"We're not!" They booth snapped simultaneously. The others just gave them an odd look.
"Well what have you found out the remains. Age, gender, cause of death, anything?" Booth asked.
"We don't even know what species. We ran our tests. Defiantly not human."
The Scooby gang exchanged a look. Spike and Angel stepped forward to get a closer look at the bones spread out on the table.
"No odd puncture wound, no broken bones. We didn't even have to clean it that much. It was as if the flesh had been sucked right off the bones."
At that Spike and Angel's heads snapped up. They exchanged a look. 'It can't be, can it?'
Bones noticed the look and asked "Do you guys know something?"
"Nothing concrete but I have a theory." Angel replied.
"Care to share?"
"Not just yet."
" I'm guessing we're thinkin' the same thing here." Spike said to Angel.
"For once, yes."
"What do you mean for once? We always share the same line of thought when it comes to Buffy in a bikini-"
"Yes, but while those thought are perfectly health for me, those same thoughts will get you killed! And that wasn't the point. We need to see the crime scene."
"Well ok we can go there now-" Booth said.
"No!" Angel and Spike exclaimed.
"Why not- oh right sunlight issues. What's up with that anyway? Afraid to freckle?"
"No it's not that. It just happens to be a health hazard for …some of us." Angel told him, careful not to give too much information. "We'll go at sundown."
"Wait, at night!" Angela exclaimed. "Some of us have lives you know."
"Kinda the point." Xander muttered. Buffy smacks him. "Ok, OW!"
"Then shut up!"
"Ok" Booth says. "We'll go at sundown. Why? Do you think something was missed?"
"Oh yeah." The brooding vamp replies. "And this case is gonna get a lot bigger."
"Uh-oh. That's never of the good." Buffy said wearily.
"Oh yeah." Xander agrees. Then he says "Why do I smell another apocalypse?" Too late he realized his mistake when he saw the other Scoobies wince and the other people look at him strangely. He knows he can't get out of this when he hears Bones ask:
"Wait, apocalypse?…"
Ok that was it. That was really poorly written. I'm just not really into this story at the moment but I said I would update and I did. Sorry this chapter is crappy. It'll be better next time. Promise. Sorry for the wait but I had Thanksgiving and now school stuff to deal with. Review, Review, Review. Please!
