Authors Note: This is the final chapter. It's given freely, and I really want you to enjoy. All I ask in return, is that you consider reviewing it. As you read, pick out those parts you loved or hated. Thanks!!! I really do appreciate the time it takes to read these.----Susan H. P.S. I realize I probably abused the author's note prevision, (there's more at the end,) but I'm an artist. Pushing the limits is what makes me different! LOL I say different, keep all other adjectives to yourself! LOL

Birthday Suits in a Suite

(AKA Booth in a Loincloth)

Chapter Eleven

Susan H.

Later that day, Foster knocked on a blue door. A middle-aged woman opened it.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm Agent Foster,"

"Oh, Agent Foster. Let me call Susie down."

"Uncle Willie, come in the kitchen and have some coffee."

"Thank you Susie. Is your brother here?"

"He's around somewhere. What happened to your hand?"

Foster held up his bandaged left hand. "Nothing serious, just a hazard of the job."

"The bank sent us all home."

"Well, I arrested your bank president. He and the sheriff were the bad guys."

"Yes, I heard some rumors. So…"

"So, I stopped here to tell you in person. It was Roger. I'm so sorry. The sheriff moved his body, but he's told us where. I can send you the funeral arrangements."

"I appreciate your kindness. He really was a nice guy."

"Yeah. Your brother left me a little clue that helped break the case."

"Really?"

"Yes. He marked the spot with an arrow made of marbles."

Susie laughed. "Yeah, Paulie and his marbles. It's such an old fashioned game, but he loves it."

"Old fashioned? Child, you make me feel so old. Well, I need to be heading out."

"Okay." Susie stood and hugged Foster. "Thank you Uncle Willie." He chuckled and walked out to his car.

He picked up his phone and hit speed dial.

"Hello?"

"Hi Franny."

"Well hello Darlin'. Has the dust settled?"

Foster smiled at the image of dust settling around Booth.

"It most certainly has. Are you available this evening, around 6:30. We could eat, and catch the 8:20 show."

"That sounds just wonderful. I'll look forward to it like a school girl."

Three days later, Brennan and Booth returned to work. Booth walked into the lab and headed to Brennan's office.

"Hey, Tarzan," Hodgins laughed.

Booth pulled his jacket and exposed his gun.

"Dude, this is funny enough to die for."

"You know, I thought Foster was a stand-up guy. I figured he'd keep that to himself."

"No way man. A perfect man wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. He told Cam, and I think he included it in his report." Hodgins continued laughing.

"Thanks Cam," Booth yelled up to the second level. Cam popped her head over the railing. "Hey Booth, do you have any pictures? I mean, like I always said, you look good out of your suit!"

"Okay, let's all get this out of our system now," Booth said.

"No way sexy FBI guy," Angie yelled, and joined Cam. "This one will never die. Can you pose for me, I'll draw that moment."

Booth just nodded his head and kept smiling.

"Thank you all for understanding, and for your concern for our safety. I think I'll go and talk to my partner now." He did so to catcalls and whistles.

He closed Brennan's door to block out the noise.

"How are you Bones?"

"I'm good. My team is better."

"Yeah, I got an earful."

"They are happy that we are safe."

"Yep. Are you sleeping okay? Have you had any problems adjusting?"

"I'm doing fine Booth. That was the best captivity I've ever experienced. I mean, come on, admit it, it was mostly fun."

"Oh, it was a lot of fun. I'd do it again," he smiled into her eyes.

"Me too," she smiled back.

Angie popped her head into the office, "Excuse me, I thought maybe you two felt a bit overdressed."

"I'll talk to you later Angela," Brennan said.

"Oh, I know you will!" Then she looked Booth up and down, and Booth was uncomfortable with the look in her eye.

"Bye Angela," he said to break her gaze. She left.

"Bones, how long do you think this will go on?"

"I don't know Booth, that's your department."

"Would you like to come to my house tonight and eat some Tai. I'm still trying to flush that awful food out of my system."

"I'd like that very much Booth."

Angela spied as they smiled into each other's faces.

The End

Author's Note: The next story in this series is Athena and Tarzan. It's one of my favorites. Brennan and Booth are manipulated by a sociopath, take trips down memory lane, so the readers are reminded of some favorite past episode. It ranks high on the creep meter, yet contains plenty of humor to keep things from getting too angsty. It is also part one of a two part story. The story just grew so much, and had so many surprises, that the appropriate thing to do was break it in two at a very natural junction. And for all you fluff lovers---YES, YES, YES, there will be no shortage of fluff either. How far will B & B go to keep the killer from killing again? How reliable is DNA, and what are it's limitations?

Please review this story. Even if you did not like it, or wished it went another way. I value all reviews, positive and negative, as long as they are sincere and respectful. Thank you all who did comment. One more thing, and you may be tired of hearing this, but this is a series of connected stories. So far, I have written nine and posted four. For the best appreciation, I suggest you read any past stories you may have missed.

1 The Memory in the Amnesia (Booth's self-control and chivalry are seriously tested by a clueless Brennan)

2 Booths R Us, (has comical moments of a drugged Booth! Also, Human Jerky, as in Beef Jerky, plays a lead role. How much more icky can death get)

3. The Death in the Vow (Booth makes clear to Brennan the onlythink he is willing to risk their friendship for. And it's not casual sex! Also, this investigates when bad things happen to good people. The answers are just not always clear. Unselfish love can lead us all to incredible sacrifice and selflessness.) Also, this one has the least readers. If you think you know why---spill. It does deal with some very serious emotions, but Brennan and Booth get even closer in this one.

4. And of course this story, which you just finished. Birthday Suits in a Suite. No matter which way our heroes think they are going, the Universe has a way of drawing them together!)

Again, I hope you are enjoying my take on the B n B romance and relationshiop development. And--not to nag---or maybe I am nagging, I can never tell, please post reviews. They give me that warm squishy feeling we all love so much. A Humble Thank You to ALL!!!!--Susan H.
