Chapter Seven: No Jurisdiction Here
Tempe was having the best time of her life being twirled and dipped and pulled around the dance floor by Booth and almost didn't notice that they had been dancing for almost two hours and that they were the only couple left on the dance floor.
"Um Booth, I think we're the only ones still dancing"
"I know, and the problem is?" he was holding her close as they danced slowly, he didn't seem to mind that they were the only ones there.
As they turned around, Tempe noticed that there were two men sitting and watching them. She broke free of Booth's hold on her and walked over to the curious looking men.
"Bones? Where are you…"he let his words fade off as he saw where Tempe was heading.
She approached the men with a serious expression on her face.
"Do you mind telling me why you're watching my Partner and I?"
Before the man could speak, Booth approached behind Tempe and spoke.
"Is there a problem officer?"
Tempe looked up at him in confusion then back at the two men, who were now standing up, one was really tall, much taller than Booth and the other was shorter but more fierce looking.
"You're police?"
"Yes M'am, we are, and you need to leave the country right now" the shorter policeman had a thick Jamaican accent which made him appear more threatening.
"And what if we don't leave?" asked Tempe
"Then you and your partner, Special Agent Booth will be arrested and charged with messing with a crime scene, disturbing evidence and participating in a case where you had no jurisdiction"
"But it happened right near where we were staying, and we're a Forensic Anthropologist and an FBI agent, we were just helping the victim and the witness" Tempe tried to plead her case but it didn't seem to work. Booth just stood behind her, he didn't say anything, he was confused himself.
"we know who you are Dr Brennan, but you and Agent Booth need to leave Jamaica right now" said the taller officer.
"But this is our holiday"
"Holiday or not Dr Brennan, you need to go, you have no Jurisdiction here". The officers left the restaurant and left Booth and Brennan confused and upset.
