Brennan sat in the passenger seat of Booth's SUV singing along quietly to a familiar song on the radio. Booth sat beside her tapping his fingers on the steering weal anxiously waiting for the stop light to turn green. "Come on! There is no one coming! Turn green already!"
Temperance looked at her partner curiously, she laughed when she saw him jumping up and down in his seat. "What is wrong with you Booth? Do you have to use the bathroom?" Booth glanced at Brennan then focused his attention back on the light, willing it to turn green. Parker sat in the backseat playing carelessly with his game-boy oblivious to the two adults.He was just about to beat is own record on his hot-wheels game, and nothing else mattered at that moment.
Just as Booth was about to let out another string of angry rants and the stop light, the light flicked green. The lady in front of Booth sat talking on the phone with her turn signals on, not paying any attention to the now green stop light."What is wrong with you,lady!? Can't you see it's green, are you color blind?!"
He honked his horn angrily at the still oblivious women, and she turned around and looked at him surprised. "Go! It's green!" The women rolled her eyes and turned around now looking directly at the light, she pulled out just in time to miss it flick back to red.
Booth groaned angrily and looked both ways before running the red light. "You know the world has gone mad when an FBI agent is forced to run a red light, because the stupid women in front of him can't tell her..." "Booth! Slow down your going way passed the speed limit!"
Booth slowed the car down and pulled into the mall just before the police officer three cars behind him realized he was speeding. He parked in the nearest parking spot he could find and turned off the engine. He quickly jumped out of the car, went around to the back seat and unbuckled Parker and practically ran to the entrance of the mall.
Temperance was right behind them trying to keep up with Booth's quick jog. When he got inside the mall he made his way to the bathrooms picking his way throught the croud. Brennan saw were he was going and picked up her pace, Parker dropped his fathers hand and explained that he would stay outside with Temperance.
Brennan got to the bathrooms just as Booth ran inside, she smirked and grabbed Parker's hand. Apparently he did have to go to the bathroom. A few seconds later Booth emerged from the bathroom a look of relief on his face.
"Are you OK now, Booth? I told you to go before we left.""Just because you told be to doesn't mean I have to!"He playfully retorted, then to add to it he stuck his tongue out at her. She lightly slapped him on the arm causing him to rub the arm in fake pain."Wow, Bones! If your going to be that vilent I won't invite you to go shopping with me anymore." "Oh, I'm sure that would absolutely kill me, Booth."
Booth laughed at her then grabbed Parker up. "So, were are we going first, Parker? Toy store?" Parker nodded at his father and happily lead the way to the toy store near the front of the mall.
