So a new point of view, Cullen has not had much of a part thus far this season but I still like him as a character so I am using him. PLEASE Comment and let me know what you all think.
"Director Cullen, this is Dr. Brennan."
"Dr Brennan it is early, is everything okay?" I asked the doctor. What did her and Booth get into now I couldn't help but wonder.
"Agent Booth is going to be out this week." She told me, I could hear in the background Booth talking I was sure to Dr. Saroyan. These two…if they were not the best at what they did I would not put up with them.
"Is everything okay Dr Brennan?" I asked.
"Yes Sir."
"Is Agent Booth sick?" I asked already knowing he wasn't.
"No Sir."
"Are you sure? He has been acting off this week."
"Everything will be fine." She answered simply.
"You take care of your partner this week. Are you still going to be at the ceremony?" I asked assuming that this stunt at a week off had something to do with Booth's reaction to the anniversary. The more I thought about it the more I realized I was right, he has taken vacation the first part of September every year since he started here.
"Thank you Sir, we will see you Thursday and he will be back to work Friday."
"Okay Dr. Brennan. See you then." I said getting off the phone.
Those two are always up to something. I had to call Dr. Sweets and see if they had said anything to him. They meet with him at least once a week and have been for about a year. He should know what is going on.
"Dr Sweets I have a question for you." I said when he answered.
"You want to know why they took the week off don't you." He answered smugly.
"Yes, I assume they have discussed this with you."
"No Sir, I just got a call from Cam asking what was going on and she said something about Booth breaking up with her and moving away from New York but she was talking so fast I couldn't keep up."
"So they have not said anything to you?"
"I just said that Sir."
"You meet with them on Tuesdays don't you?"
"I do."
"Then you find out what the heck is going on with My Agent." I said hanging up the phone.
I got onto the computer and pulled up Booth's file. Army from 1991-2001. He did not reenlist after the towers fell. Ranger beginning in 1995. Sniper beginning in 1998. Mostly secret missions from 1999 until he left in 2001. Was due to go to Iraq September 12th. Squad he was set to go with…all deceased. All deceased?
I had to look into it farther. I called up my pal, a general, at the local base and asked him to find out for me. I was on hold for less than five minutes before he came back on the line.
"The squad Seeley Booth was planned to ship out with was meeting in tower two when the plane hit. He was the only survivor. Obviously his last mission was scratched and with all the chaos we did not have the man power to get him to re-up again.
I thanked him and got off the phone. He lost his friends when the towers fell. He was with them. He should have died with them. Thank God he didn't, all of the people him and that brainy partner of his have taken off the streets. But wow. I can see why he took vacation time, I would too.
