When she got to her office Angela was there waiting for her.
"Sweetie?"
"They matched the bullet to one of Booths guns."
"Oh Bren…" they sat on the couch. "What did Booth say?"
"Not much. But Ange this doesn't look good for him."
"Of course not."
"I am waiting for Cullen to ring me and tell me which gun when he finds out."
"I'll wait with you." They sat on the couch and Brennan fell asleep against Angela's arm. When the phone rang she jumped up. "Brennan" she listened as the person on the other end spoke. "Yes… ok… thank you… I'll be right over…" she hung up and turned to Angela. "Ange, Cullen just told me which gun it was… this is great!" she left the office leaving a stunned Angela behind her.

"So that proves that he's being framed right?"
"Well Dr Brennan it does, or else it proves that Booth tried to build up an alibi for himself. It was only the two of you searching for that gun and he could have easily slipped it into his pocket." Brennan slammed her fist down on his table.
"Sir Booth would never ever do that! You can't possibly think that he would even think about that. I mean…"
"Dr Brennan. Booth is one of the only a few people that I truly respect and I know that he would not do that I am just trying to tell you how the others would use it against him!"
Brennan felt ashamed about losing her temper. She now knew that Cullen was just as much behind Booth as she was.
"I know sir. I better head back to the lab. I am expecting Booths lawyer." And she left. e was framed and the gn that was used prove
