When Booth got to the lab he found Cam, Brennan, Angela, Hodgins and Vincent Nigel-Murray on the platform discussing evidence. When they heard the beep of the security system they all turned to see Booth bounding up the stairs to join them.
"What do you have people?"
"We have confirmed through DNA and dental records that this is indeed Heather Taffet" Cam informed him.
"Good riddance I say", Hodgins grunted causing everyone to turn their gazes to him. "What?"
"Do we have anything on the ballistics?" Booth asked.
Hodgins spoke up, "Not yet, I've collected the particulates and I'm still sifting through them to get all the bullet fragments."
"You know Booth with the amount of damage to the skull we may never have enough fragments to piece together a complete bullet" Brennan stated, never raising her eyes to him.
Booth didn't miss the fact that she hadn't looked at him since he walked up. "Yeah, Bones, I know but a guy can hope, right?" he said smiling at the top of her head.
Cam and Angela looked from Booth to Brennan then to each other with raised eyebrows. They both shrugged, neither knowing what had happened to cause the partners to be so weird with each other.
Realizing he wasn't going to get any additional details from them until all the evidence was reviewed Booth said, "How long before we have anything?"
"I'm not sure what additional information we can give you at this point. We have already identified the body and the cause of death" Cam replied.
"We are cleaning the bones now. Once that is complete and I can reconstruct the skull for Angela we may be able to give you the trajectory and size of the bullet" Brennan stated.
"Ok, well I'm headed to the Hoover, call me as soon as you have something" Booth said as he walked away.
Angela saw Brennan's eyes follow Booth's descent down the stairs of the platform and asked, "Sweetie, what's going on between you and Booth?"
Brennan looked at Angela with sad eyes and said, "Nothing is going on with Booth and I Angela".
Seeing the look of determination in Brennan's face the artist decided not to argue.
