A/N: Well I do believe in the Booth/Bones relationship, but I'm also incorporating Angel's commitment issues. I know the last two chapters have been painfully short, but my brain seems to be working in short spurts now. The story though is heading somewhere.

Chapter 4: Strangers in the night
The memories of two lives, two identities were swimming around in the mind Agent Booth, or Angel. He thinks he'll never be able to get used to this. Bouncing between the life he has now and being the person he once was. Angel wonders if this was how Conner felt every day. That was until his train of thought was interrupted by the usually suspect.
"So, Special Agent Forehead decided to join me." Spike quipped as he sucked down his longneck, addressing the entering man.
"Booth doesn't answer his cell. Maybe he's already home." Dr. Brennan said walking out of her office grabbing her jacket.
"Wait… you're going to Booth's swanky bachelor pad. I am so going with you." Angela said as she chased the good doctor out the door of the Jeffersonian Medico-legal lab.
Agent Booth's Apartment
"Ang, we're partners. This is not a social call. I'm waking him up to share new important information about our case… and I may need him to get a warrant." Dr. Brennan said knocking on his apartment door.
The insensate banging awoke the blond vampire from his beer induced slumber. The noise though went completely unnoticed by the snoring brunette beside him. Yep, human Angel did snore a fact Spike wasn't too fond of. So intent on returning to his beauty sleep, he decided he must investigate. It was when he reached the bedroom door that he thought pants may be a good idea, and retrieved his discarded blue jeans. He pulled them up as he walked to the door not bothering to button-up the fly.
Dr. Brennan and Angela were not expecting the shirtless blond that opened the door.
"'Ello, ladies something I can do for you, ta night." Spike said one hand on his hip standing in the doorway.
"Well…"Angela said walking towards the door. "Angela! We're looking for Agent Seeley Booth. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan and I have some important information about a case we're working."
"Angela Montenegro and I'm single." Angela added extending her hand. Dr. Brennan gave her a quick scowl, before returning her attention to the doorway. "Is Agent Booth here?"
"Well he's… indisposed at the moment. But come on in ladies, names Spike. So you must be Bones, well let me tell you pet you're definitely not what I pictured." Spike said as he led them into the living room. The living room was decorated in much the Angel style. Some weapons on the wall, antique furniture with some very un-like Angel touches. Like the plasma TV, X-BOX, empty beer bottles and heavy metal CDs atop the stereo system.
"Urgh…Spike I have to get back to work. The squints just found some new information and it looks like the Dad's dirty. I might need you ta…Bones, Angela?" Angel said walking into the living room putting on a fresh shirt over his head.
"Are we interrupting something?" Angela asked as she did a double take between the half-dressed Booth and the shirtless Spike
"What, no! So, you met Spike… he lives here. He's my…" Angel answered as he buttoned his shirt.
"Roommate." Spike said with his usual cheeky smile. "Yeah and he'll probably be helping us on this case. So Bones let me see what you have and Spike, please go get dressed!" Angel said walking towards the sofa and cleared-off the coffee table.
"Why is he going to help? How is your roommate guy, qualified to assist in a murder investigation? " A perplexed Brennan asked.
"Because in addition to living here, he's an FBI agent." Angel
