The secret room , 10:00am
Brennan lead the group up the stairs, they went slowly as was adviced by the rigging crew, the old metal staircase creaked and squeeked with the strain of having everyone on it. The rigging crew had commented that dispite it being over 70 years old it was in extreamly good condition and only had minor rusting around where some of the bolts were holding the stairs to the center piece. The chains holding the outer parts were in very well preserved and strong. Once Brennan breached the top of the stairs she pulled out her flash light and panned it around the room. Starla was the one just behind her and stopped with her just inside the room. It was a Speak Easy frozen in time, the light beams from the over head lighting and those lights positioned by the crew shown through the 70 odd years of dust being kicked up. Even old bottles of licqure were still on the shelves behind the bar. "Wow...this place is incredable." Booth said, the others nodded as Little Joe hoisted the camera onto his shoulder and just started filming random room ambeance.
They all stepped a little deeper into the room, then Brennan turned to Starla "Do you know where the body is?" Starla looked around briefly then stopped as though she were listening to someone talk to her. "Over there,behind the bar. There's a secret panel under one of the shelves and you'll find the bones in a narrow passageway." Starla replied, Brennan pulled out some gloves and made a b-line for the bar area. Jareth waved to Little Joe and told him to go follow her, Little Joe nodded then made his way over to where Brennan was just about to walk behind the bar area. Brennan stopped short of it though, looking at the lighting crew "Can I get some extra lighting over here please." The crew looked towards her direction,but didn't seem to apt to respond to her request. Jareth and Booth both looked at eachother, Booth then pulled out his FBI badge thing and with his free hand stuck his fingers to his lips and let out a loud whistle "FBI...!" the lighting crew immediantly stopped what they were doing and looked directly at Booth. "Lets get some extra lighting behind the bar for Dr. Brennan...thanks."
One of the electricians immediantly moved one of the medium sized lights over and hooked it up trying to fit it to where Brennan wanted it exsactly "Thank you." Brennan said to the electrician then ducked behind the bar looking for the special panel that lead to the passage way where Starla thought the bones to be. Booth watched as Brennan dissapeared behind the bar, out of the corner of his eye he also saw Jareth take both of Starla's hands wrapping his fingers around hers leaning in he kissed her forehead, then they shared a brief kiss breaking it quickly when they realized Booth was still near them. "Booth!" Brennan called out from behind the bar, Booth then made his way towards the bar with Jareth and Starla right behind him. "Coming Bones." Booth called out. When they got to the area where the bar was, Brennan was on her knees trying to figure out how to get a latch open. "I think this is the panal that leads to the passageway..." Brennan said then looked up at Starla and Booth who was just behind her. Little Joe had found a way to film while still being out of the way.
Starla nodded "Yeah, that would be it." Brennan tried again but couldn't seem to get the latch to budge "I can't get it open, can you help Booth? Like shoot it or something.." Jareth and Booth looked at eachother "Bones, I can't just shoot the lock off. This place is a historic landmark." Booth replied, Brennan sighed in frustration. "Maybe you could make it budge though..." Brennan got to her feet and moved so Booth could get in there and try fiddling with it. In the mean time Jareth had motioned to Starla to get in another spot to do some coverage of what was going on. A couple feet away Little Joe stood with his camera on his shoulder while Starla fished the EMF Cell Meter out of Jareth's bag and turned it on. She started doing some readings as Booth worked behind her with Little Joe filming the goings on. "We're up here in the Speak Easy, which hasn't had any visitors since 1933, the place has remained in very good condition almost as though with a little dusting and some well placed actors you'd never have known that you had ever left the 1930's. Apparently neither do the two or three spirits we're picking up with the EMF meter. One of them happens to be the owner to a set of bones that we believe are currently hidden in another secret passageway behind the bar here."
Starla gestured behind her were Booth had pulled out a lock picking tool, one the FBI used to open locks with out breaking them. Little Joe heard some scraping along the bar, moving the camera just in time to catch a glass sliding along the bar of it's own accord and heading right for Brennan. "Duck!" Starla called out to Brennan, and she did just in time to miss the glass hitting her,which Jareth managed to catch before it fell to the ground preventing it from shattering near Booth. Little Joe then turned the camera back on Starla "Just then we caught some footage of a rather restless spirit trying to get some attention by throwing one of the glasses from the far end of the bar at Dr. Temperance Brennan, North America's top Forensic Anthropologist who has joined us today to investigate the skeletal remains along with Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI. "We're in!" Booth announced just then, having managed to finally get the lock and latch open. He then removed the panel setting it under the front end of the bar. "Woo, that is some smelly stale air in there. Did anyone bring gass mask?" Booth asked as he stood up, Brennan moved past him crouching back down and putting her maglite flashlight under the bar area poking her head inside.
With out missing a beat she pulled her head back out looking up at Booth "I saw the remains, they're a little difficult to get to but it looks like we've got a male and the remains are mummfied." Brennan then looked at Jareth and the other two "I'm going in..." Brennan crouched even more and went slowly into the passageway. "Can I get some light in here? maybe a hand light with a clip?" Brennan's muffled voice came from the passage way "it leads behind the wall of the bar, and up a few feet is the skeletal remains." Brennan continued, Little Joe just stood back and kept the camera going. Jareth turned to the closest electrician "I need a hot hand with a clamp on it." the
electrician nodded and quickly returned with the asked for small light with a pipe clamp on it. Booth then took the lamp and crouched down under the bar to hand it to Brennan "here you go Bones, there should be some place to plug it in there inside the passage." Jareth put his hand on Booth's shoulder "actually Agent Booth, it's batery operated, she just has to clip it onto one of the wall studs and flick the little switch." Booth looked back and nodded "Did you hear that Bones?" he called into the passage. "Yeah, loud and clear Booth." Booth then backed out and stood back up.
"Be good Larry, they're trying to help you.." Starla said towards the end of the bar, where yet another glass was actually hovering in mid-air. Little Joe got the camera on it immediantly "Tell your buddies to behave too, the more you guys mess around the longer it will be before you can finally rest." Starla continued then stopped her eyes still remaining looking past Booth, Booth at that point turned around looking at the glass that was still hovering slightly above the bar surface. Booth with out taking his eyes off the glass "How do you know that's our Larry?" Just then the glass was slammed down on the bar, as though the spirit was upset. Starla laughed "I can see him, and he wasn't quite happy about you calling him Larry with out being properly introduced. He isn't happy as it is that there is a FBI Agent up here. Kinda still thinks it's the 1930's." Booth nodded " I'm not to happy to be up here either in a room full of ghost , but he does know we're trying to help him right?" "yes he does, he's just restless..." Just then the glas flipped onto it's side and started rolling up the bar towards where Booth was standing.
