Here is chapter 4 for you tell me what you think

Chapter 4

Angel/Booth was sitting in the SUV trying to find a map of Washington DC, when he spotted something attached to the dashboard of the car. He had no clue what it was but he noticed what appeared to be some kind of touch screen touch screen on the front of it, along with a flashing red dot.

Once he looked out the window of his vehicle, and read the nearby Street signs, it didn't take him long to notice that the flashing light was pinpointing the exact same location of the still parked SUV. He then recalled that when the 'Powers That Be' had prepped him for his new life in Washington as a human being and FBI Agent, part of the knowledge and Intel that was implanted in his brain, had included something about a Satellite Navigator that was also referred to as a Global Positioning System or 'GPS' unit.

Wow he thought, this must be how his friend and associate Charles Gunn had felt when he had all of the legal information implanted into his own brain by the Powers, when they needed him to be a Lawyer after they had taken over Wolfram And Heart. Angel had to admit, he felt empowered by all of the additional knowledge that had been given to him. While Angel wasn't stupid by any means, he just never gone to College or anything, so as part of his new identity as Seeley Booth, they needed him to have some level of education and Military training to fully evolve as this new persona.

But then after thinking back to how much trouble he had that time when Cordelia had bought him a cell phone, he decided to leave the GPS unit alone. Man how he hated technology and that for whatever reason, hadn't changed. He hated it back when he was Angel, and he also seemed to hate it now, as Agent Booth. I guess they didn't change everything when they made me human, he thought.

Eventually he found the map he had been trying to find when he finally came across it after searching through the glove compartment, now he could use it to plan his route. He started the engine and began his drive to work.

He couldn't believe how bad the traffic was in DC! He thought it had been bad when he was in Los Angeles, but that was nothing compared to this.

He was now traveling on Pennsylvania Avenue and looking for 935 which was the number of the FBI building. It took him at least an hour to weave his way through all of the traffic that was on Pennsylvania, but he finally managed to find the address. 'Booth' could not get over how large the building was but he eventually found the parking garage that was located underneath the structure, and then proceeded to drive around until he spotted a parking space that had apparently been allocated had to him. He knew this based on a sign at the head of the space that displayed his name: "S.A. Seeley Booth".

Now all he had to do is find his office – so upon finding the elevator, he pressed the "Lobby" knowing there would be some kind of a Directory for a building of this size. The Directory board he found showed the main FBI office to be on the 2nd floor and when Booth arrived at that level and stepped off the elevator, he was surprised by what he saw.

As the elevator doors opened, he was greeted by a very large and expensive looking Seal that covered the entire wall that was directly across from the bank of elevators, announcing that he had found what he was looking for. It appeared however, that the FBI - being as large of an organization as it was - took up not only this entire floor, but several others as well It might be a little harder than he anticipated to find his own office, he realized.

The exquisite seal in front of him had the words: Department Of Justice - around the top half of the circular Seal, that was basically the main logo for the FBI organization, and along the bottom half it read; Federal Bureau Of Investigation. He had also noted three words scrolled across the very center that read: Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity. He then realized that those three words could easily be used to describe his new persona, that of Agent Booth. It seemed that he was slowly starting to remember more and more of the qualities, traits and skills that the Powers had instilled in his memory.

He turned to his left towards the large double doors filled with etched glass, obviously the main entrance.

He was just about to go through the door when he heard someone call out the name "Agent Booth!". He turned around to find a tall and well built bald man looking directly at him. He assumed that it must be his main boss since he just had the look of someone in Authority, even a little intimidating actually. 'Booth' realized that it was going to take some getting used to, going by a name other than 'Angel'.

The man who called out to him continued speaking, "Good morning Booth, I need you to come with me to my office." he commanded, a thick manila folder in hand, "I've got a new case I need you on, I want to go over the specifics of the case."

As Booth seated himself in a chair facing the desk of his Supervisor, he noted the name plate on the desk of the man whose office they were obviously in. The name plate read; 'Deputy Director Samuel Cullen' and he immediately began discussing the details of the new case.

"A body was just found this morning, in the lake that is located in the vicinity of the Arlington Memorial Cemetery. We still need to determine the identity of the victim so we are bringing in a Specialist, Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, to assist with that and she is the very best her field so treat her well. Now I actually need you to head out to the Dulles International Airport right about now, to pick her up, she is arriving on a flight from Quatemala." he finished.

The Director then handed him a book with her picture on the back of the dust cover, ne suddenly felt almost faint, as he realized this was the very woman that he had dreamed about that night back in Los Angeles. Booth finally snapped out of his trance, seeing the way his boss was staring at him. He stood up, grabbing the book and the file knowing he needed to now go find this Airport.

"Oh, and there's just one more thing Agent Booth." Cullen said, stopping him in his tracks. "Dr. Brennan is permanently positioned at the Jeffersonian Institute, that's where you will need to take her after you bring her to the crime scene to view the remains. I am assigning you as the new liaison to the Jeffersonian, you will actually be working with this woman a lot, so much so that you may as well consider her your new partner." he politely informed him.

So, as Booth absorbed all of this new information, he headed out to make his way to the airport to pick up his new 'partner' he was a little anxious, he had never had a single partner before. Angel either worked alone, or with his team. So this ought to be interesting if nothing else.

He was also still a little shocked as he looked more closely at the book that had her photo on the back, apparently she was also some kind of famous Author, along with her job as the top Forensic Anthropologist in the Nation. It was quite impressive to say the least, he thought. And adding to that, was the fact that she would also now be helping him, and the FBI basically, in identifying bodies of murder victims. If of course, they fell under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

When he was at the airport, he went looking for the Flight Arrival board to see which flight she was coming in on, but after noticing that something was wrong with the board, he had no choice but to go in search of an Agent at the Airline that she was coming in on. He arrived at the main Airline counter where he spotted a man typing away on a computer. Booth started to ask for assistance when the man raised his hand up, signaling him to wait.

Booth tried once again, getting a little irritated, and again he received the same response. He then thought of a strategy that was sure to force this man to stop what he was doing, and help him immediately. Booth pulled out his FBI Badge – sticking it out in front of himand waving it in the man's face.

"Okay, listen t me - I need you to stop what you are doing, and tell me what time, and which Gate the next flight from Guatemala will be arriving - okay? And, if you don't, then I will simply arrest you." Booth finished, adding that last threat just for kicks.

The now nervous looking man, promptly gave Booth the information, he felt extremely intimidated by the tall, angry Agent in front of him. "Uhh, my apologies Officer, I uh, well - the flight you are seeking is um, well Sir, it should be arriving in about 5 minutes at Gate number 11." he stuttered but finally got the information out.

"Thank you." Booth replied in a more friendly tone of voice. "Oh, and by the way, I am not an Officer," he explained to the anxious man, " I am a Special Agent, and I appreciate your cooperation."

he said as he began walking away to head toward the gate.

The plane had just landed and he could see that the the passengers were slowly exiting the plane. So he stood near the Gate entrance and waited for her. He finally spotted her and realized that she was way more beautiful that the photo on her book. The picture hadn't done her looks justice as far as capturing her true and rather intimidating beauty, he thought.

She had been informed by her own boss, that she would be picked up by the FBI Agent, her newly assigned Partner. She could tell by the expensive suit he was wearing, that it had to be him. He exuded the appearance that you would imagine an Agent of the FBI to look like. She immediately noticed how handsome he was.

They were practically drawn to each other, as Booth walked up and introducing himself. But, Temperance suddenly was overcome by the feeling that she already knew him somehow. He offered to carry the large camera bag and the carry on bag she was lugging around, but he was quickly shot down by the stubborn and independent woman. "Thank you, but I am quite capable of carrying my own bags." she stated aggressively.

Booth just raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and simply nodded his head in agreement. "Okay then." he said, "Shall we?" he asked as he waived his hand in front of him to signal her to go first, as they then headed towards baggage claim to retrieve the rest of her bags.

Then together, Dr Temperance Brennan and Agent Seeley Booth, left there and began to make their way towards the Arlington Memorial Cemetery .
