"When did you find this out?" She asked Angela.
"It's Kelly Summers and I found it out almost right away. . ." Angela began.
"Then why didn't you come and tell me?" Tempe said angrily, raising her voice.
"Tempe, what's wrong?" Angela said with concern. Tempe rubbed her hand against her temple.
"I'm sorry for snapping on you Ang, it's just that . . ." She trailed off.
"Just what?" Angela asked.
"You know that Kelly Summer's is Judge Summer's kid and you know that her neck was found broken, just like the other little girl's case that we had a few days ago. Guess who the father of that little girl was tried and convicted by?" She answered and Jack's eyes widened.
"You have got to be kidding." Jack said excitedly. He loved conspiracy theories.
"Why would I kid about something like this?" She snapped angrily at Jack.
"It's an expression." Angela said softly.
"Oh, sorry." Tempe muttered under her breath.
"Anyways, I got to go tell Booth. Thanks guys." She said and she turned and walked out of the room.
"Poor Tempe." Angela said softly.
"Mmm hmm. What do you think the odds are that Booth makes a move now?" Jack asked her. Angela rolled her eyes and smacked him across the arm with her hand as she walked out the door.
"What? What did I say?" He protested as he followed her out.
Tempe had turned out of the room and headed towards where she'd left Booth and froze when she saw him. Him and Dr. Saroyan, she refused to call her Cam, were talking and laughing. Tempe clenched her fists as she saw her touch Booth's arm lightly. After Dr. Goodman had left, Dr. Saroyan had take over and was ruining her and Booth's . . . whatever they had. She strode up the stairs and coughed loudly, causing Booth and Dr. Saroyan to jump.
"Hope I wasn't interrupting anything. Booth, can I talk to you? Alone?" She said as she shot a cold glare at Cam.
"Okay, okay. I can take a hint." She said. "See you later Seely." She smiled at Booth as she walked away.
"What was that about Bones?" Booth demanded, folding his arms.
"I told you that I don't like her and did she call you Seely?" She asked him, raising an eyebrow. Booth squirmed a bit before he answered.
"She always does and why does it matter to you anyway?" He asked curiously.
"I think . . . that at work . . . an employer should show proper respect to her colleagues by showing them the proper respect." She stammered out. Booth raised an eyebrow.
"She calls Zack Zackeroni." He said, smiling. She caught herself smiling and then she remembered what she had to talk to him about.
"Okay, now that you're done sidetracking me, we found out who the little girl is and you're not going to believe it." She said grimly.
"Hit me." Booth replied, his face serious. She looked confused and punched him in the shoulder.
"Ow. Not literally Bones. I meant tell me who she is." He said, wincing.
"Oh, sorry. Anyways, she's Kelly Summers." She said. Booth stopped acting as if he was in pain and stood up straighter.
"You don't mean Judge Summer's kid. The same judge who convicted the guy, Dave Suiting of killing his daughter?" He asked.
"The same." She answered softly.
"But wait . . . didn't this little girl also die of a broken neck, like the little girl in the freezer? Maybe these cases are related, and if they are . . ." He trailed off.
". . . maybe Dave is working with an accomplice. When they found him at his friend's house, they never found the friend." She finished for him.
"Bones, he knows who you are." He said, looking at her in concern.
"So? We just catch him right away. We should probably go visit the judge first though and . . ." She trailed off as she was hit was a horrible realization.
