Ok this chapter is pretty brief, just beginning to form the friendship between Vincent and Grace.
I wanna say thanks to all who are following this story, and I have one tiny request; I would love one tiny review and as a reward the first person to review will get a special mention in the next chapter ;) fancy being a part of the story?
Let's be scientists.
"Ok kiddo, I've gotta dash but you can hang around here and we'll go out to eat later?" Booth had just answered his phone, to discover a new lead in their current case.
"But Seeley, I haven't even met Brennen yet, and what am I supposed to do?"
"Just hang about, see you soon!" The agent ran out, leaving Grace to her own devices. She looked around the empty room and sighed, she had so much stuff to sort out; a job, place to live and she knew sooner or later Booth would wanna know the real reason she was here. 'Well what shall I do' she thought to herself, that's when she clocked the grey lab coat sprawled over the sofa, "hm, I always fancied myself a scientist" she chuckled to herself.
Within seconds Grace was strutting around the room, wearing the grey lab coat, getting into character "Well Dr Brennen, cause of death is currently inconclusive…"
"Erm hi again" Grace swung around, cheeks red with embarrassment as she was met by Vincent. "Could I possibly have my lab coat back? As long as you're finished with it of course?"
"Oh god, of course you can. Im so sorry, it's just Seeley left me on my own, and I was bored and I thought I could pull off the scientist look, so you know I went for it, and now im mumbling. Sorry."
"Haha no need to apologise, I personally think it looks better on you then me. Fancy keeping me company on the platform?" Grace was hesitant; by platform he meant him and a dead body. She wasn't sure if she could stomach that, but it was hard to say no to Vincent; she wanted to get to know the guy better, and if this required her to befriend the deceased she was willing.
"Sure, am I actually allowed to?"
"Yeah, you can be an intern-intern, which makes me the boss." Vincent winked; he couldn't deny that there was an attraction between him and Grace.
"Well im use to be bossed around, im a psychology student and before I left London was interning for a big company, so lead the way boss."
Brennen had yet to meet Grace; Booth had filled her in on who she was whilst in the car. However, whilst looking forward to meeting her, she was not happy to find her on the platform with the remains.
"Mr Nigel-Murray who is this and what is she doing here?" Brennen had walked in to find Vincent accompanied by a female who did not belong there.
"Dr Brennen, this is Grace O'Conner." Vincent was aware from Brennen's tone that he was in trouble.
"It is amazing to finally meet you, Booth has told me so much, I feel like I already know you." Grace extended her hand to shake Brennen's, but was met with an icy reception.
"It's nice to meet you, but you should not be here, near the remains, I think it best for you to take off that lab coat, return it to its owner and go find Booth who is looking for you. As for you Mr Nigel Murray, you should have known better."
"I'm sorry." Handing Vincent his lab coat back, Grace reached up to whisper in the intern's ear "Good luck, I'll see you around" squeezing his arm in support, she turned to leave. Vincent sighed as he watched her walk away; he knew the next few hours would be hard, firstly Dr Brennen was mad at him, and secondly he was going to have trouble concentrating on anything but Grace.
