Disclaimer: I don't own Bones or Doctor Who. I would have changed a few things in both shows if I had.
A/N: Quick bit here. If you've been reading this story as the chapters are being posted then one minor change has occured. As I wrote this chapter it hit me, "Duh the Doctor so would not have given away his identity upon meeting our favorite pair. He would have said he was John Smith." So that's changed. And I realized Zach is suppose to be going to Iraq so although he really isnt suppose to be here, for the sake of the story he is. Anyway please review, its always nice to know someones reading.
Smith and Squints
Back at the Jeffersonian the squints were admittedly surprised to see a lanky strange come through, instead of Booth and Brennan. The stranger patiently explained he was helping with the case, and showed his credentials. His boyish charm easily won Angela over, but Cam and Zach weren't completely convinced.
Moments later the pair walked through the sliding doors, even more surprised to see the man from the docks standing in front of them.
"But, how? We left, didn't we leave before-" Booth stuttered in disbelief. He was certain they had left at least ten minutes before him.
"Short cut. Yes a quick little short cut." Doctor Smith replied
"So you both know him?" Cam asked
"Well yes we-" Brennan said
"I found something!" Hodgins interrupted. "I found, hey whose the suit?"
"Doctor John Smith." Smith said
"Doctor John Smith." Hodgins repeated, "That sounds vaguely familiar."
"Well John Smith is the most common name in the English speaking world." Zach interjected.
Hodgins narrowed his eyes at Zach, and then went back to his computer to show what he had found. Angela walked quickly towards Brennan and whispered excitedly, "Bren where did you find him?"
"Ange!" She replied elbowing her friend. "You're with Hodge remember?"
"Hey it's perfectly okay for a girl to look. And Sweetie if a man who looks like that comes around then it's very okay."
Even Brennan couldn't suppress a grin at this. The two walked towards the newest victim. Now that the algae had been removed, and she had been dried, the young women looked placid. It was almost as though she was asleep.
Doctor Smith pulled out a small device from his coat pocket and began to scan the body.
"Um, what are you doing?" Brennan asked eyeing the tool with curiosity.
"Just doing a quick scan." He explained, "New technology."
"Where did you say you were from?" Booth narrowed his eyes and used his best interrogation voice.
"Oh you know all over." He said completing the scan. His brow furrowed and he frowned slightly.
"I still think its aliens." Hodgins said.
"Hodgins, I'm afraid I have to disagree." Zach said
"Why's that Zach?" Hodgins asked taking a menacing step closer.
Immediately Zach's eyes downcast away from Hodgins, "Because, it's evident the victim drowned."
"Aliens can drown too."
"Not entirely true." Smith said, then quickly realized what he had said. All eyes in the room now looked towards him.
"Come again?" Hodgins asked
"Well I mean." Smith began to tug nervously at his ear lobe, "I'm just saying, if it is aliens I mean, what if they were like," He paused, "Dolphins?"
"Dolphins?" Zach asked dubiously
"Yes dolphins. The happy little fellows who do flippy tricks for fish? Actually no forget that. Dolphins are mammals, mammals need air, ergo they could in fact drown. Ironic how they live in an environment where they could potentially die in, just because they need to breathe. However they are the second smartest creatures on earth, next to mice. Now let's see, let's see. Fish! What if the aliens were like fish? Fish need water, waters no oxygen, ergo they can drown. Ergo, I've said that twice already. I quite like the sounds of it. Air-go."
"Okay I get it." Hodgins interjected. "Still can't rule aliens out."
"Actually we can. Whatever killed this poor girl was definitely human."
Once again all eyes weighed in on Smith. He cursed his gob and quickly tired to think up an explanation.
"Wait a minute. Doctor John Smith, oh how could I have missed it? I know exactly who you are! Dude this is so cool!" Hodgins exclaimed
"Hodgins what are you talking about?" Cam asked clearly annoyed.
"You aren't Doctor John Smith, you're The Doctor." Hodgins said emphasizing his real title.
"Oh so you've heard of me?" The Doctor grinned smugly. It wasn't too often he met a being who knew who he was and didn't want to kill him.
"Would someone mind telling me what the hell is going on?" Cam said now annoyed
"I suppose I should probably explain a bit." The Doctor said sheepishly
This will probably be the last update for awhile. School starts this week! So leave lots of reviews for me!
