Ch2- For Work

"You're late. How come? And why are you glowing? Oh, I know!" Angela asks, and shouts gleefully even though none of her questions were answered by her friend.

Bones rolls her eyes and walks right by. "I had a late night," she offers succinctly.

Angela practically squeals, following her. "Oh my god, you slept with him didn't you? You did! Oh my god!"

"Who did what?" Hodgins throws in as he joins them. "Ange, quit being so loud."

Bones sighs. "Thank you, Jack." Still ignoring Angela, she enters her office.

"Bren slept with Booth." Angela says dismissively, only half paying attention to him. "Don't you have something more interesting to do, Hodgins?"

"Ange!"

Hodgins grins. "Not anymore, babe."

Figuring there's no way out of it, Brennan blows out a breath. "Can you keep a secret?"

Her two companions lean closer, bump shoulders, and glare at each other. "Yes," they chorus together.

She watches them, satisfied. "Good. So can I." Smiling to herself, she proceeds to close the door on both of them and locks it behind her.
