A/N: Sorry for the late update! :( I just went on vacation & I also got a new puppy (for my birthday) so I've been busy. Thanks for reading keep reviewing, chapter 3 will be up later today or tomorrow!
I was sitting in my office with Booth waiting for Sophe to arrive. "Hello Special Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan." Sophe said as she walked through the door. "Good Morning Sophe, did you bring the report?" I asked, her she nodded handing me a folder. "Yep, Sorry if it isn't good enough." she said. "I'm sure it'll be fine, Sophe. Booth what time are we meeting the boyfriend?" I asked him, he looked at his watch. "At 10, it's 9:30 now, so we should head down to the investigation room." he said, I nodded getting my stuff together. "Ok, Sophe are you ready to go?" I asked her. "Yep." she said, I got up and finished getting my stuff together. "Alright, grab the case file and you're notebook and we can go." I said, she nodded grabbing her stuff. "Why do you need me to come with you to investigate people?" she asked. "I'm only an intern." she added. "To give you a good idea of what I do." I said, looking over at Booth who was looking anxious. "We need to be heading over, it's getting closer and closer to time." he said, I nodded. "Oh, ok." she said, as we all walked down to the interrogation room. "So you watch while booth interrogates them?" she asked. "Mostly, sometimes I go in with him." I said, walking into the viewing room. "You can follow me." I said, as I turned and looked at her. "Second." I said, knowing she was thinking she was my favorite intern. "Huh?" she asked. "Oh, you're my second favorite intern." I said, she smiled and nodded. "Whose your first?" she asked, I smiled. "Zach, no offense. I really like you and you are extremely smart, but, he was my favorite." I said smiling, I missed having Zach around. "He was you mean he doesn't work here any more?" she asked, I shook my head. "No." I said looking through the glass into the interrogation room. "Anyway, you need to pay attention they are about to start the interrogation." I said, she nodded picking up her notebook and a pen. "Oh, ok." she said, looking through the glass.
On The Other Side of the Glass:
Booth; What kind of relationship did you pursue with Hayley?
Boyfriend; How's that any of you're business?
His Lawyer; Just answer the question.
Boyfriend; I've been dating her for two years, and it just got sexual.
Booth; Have you had any relationship problems lately?

Back to Brennan & Sophe:
"We don't have to watch this if you don't want, we can wait until he comes out then review all the facts." I said, she turned to me. "No, if we watch him it would be easier to tell if he killed her by his facial expressions and how he acts when he is investigated." she said, I smiled she was pretty smart. "Do you see the way his hands are moving under the table? He's obviously hiding something, that's why he's so nervous. Do you think he killed her?" I asked her, the answer was pretty obvious and I was hoping she got it right. "No, I can tell he is to weak to kill his girlfriend who is way taller then him. Were you taught how to read people's thoughts?" she asked me, I started at her confused for a second. "Huh?" I finally asked. "Back when we were talking about your interns, I was just thinking that I was your favorite intern and not talking at all then you said 'second'." she said, I nodded. "Oh, I guess I could just tell by the look on you're face." I said, she smiled. "Oh. Are you and Booth dating?" I looked at her. "No, unless you talk to Angela. She thinks we are some perfect dream match." I said, she had the look on her face that Angela gets, the 'you two are perfect for each other look' I knew what she was thinking. "Hey, look Booth's done." she said, changing the subject from this incredibly awkward situation.
"Ok, let's wait until Booth comes in here until we leave, it looks like the boyfriend's upset." I said, watching the boyfriend from through the window. "Well his girlfriend has just been murdered. I mean if someone close to me got murdered I would be pretty upset." she said, I shook my head. "You can tell it's more of an angry upset than a 'my girlfriend just got murdered and I'm devastated upset'." I said, she nodded noticing his actions, right as Booth walked in. "Well, I don't think he did it but, they had a huge fight a few weeks ago." Booth said. "What would his motive be if he murdered her? I mean clearly he doesn't really have a motive, plus I don't think he would kill his girlfriend who is a model." Sophe said, I shook my head. "Her being a model doesn't have anything to do with this, actually." I said, Booth nodded in agreement. "Let's get something to eat and we can figure out the case over lunch." Booth said, I smiled then turned to Sophe. "Sophe are you good with that?" I asked, her she shook her head. "No, you guys can go with out me I should stay here and look at the body more. Try to figure out what the murder weapon is." she said, I nodded. "It was a steel hammer with a rectangular head. You can tell by the fact that there is steel near each of the skull wounds, the foot on the other hand was harmed by something smaller." I said, stating the facts I already knew. "But it could have been something else. I should stay here anyway and make sure it is a hammer." she said, I sighed. "Alright, see you after lunch." I said, leaving with Booth to go eat.
Once we were at the restaurant I sighed. "What do you think about Sophe?" I asked Booth he shrugged. "She's smart, but, I think she could do better." he said, I nodded. "I need an assistant not a child I have to babysit, do you think I should have her identify bodies from the wars to give her experience?" I asked him, because it was most likely she'd never had real experience before. "That sounds good, we need to work on the case now though." he said, I nodded and opened the case file. "I let her stay at the lab even though I knew the cause of death. The trauma to the skull was done by a steel hammerand the trauma to the foot was caused by rusted old railroad spikes.
"What did you find out?" I asked Sophe as I entered the lab from Lunch. "I don't think it was a hammer. But it was something made of steel. I think something smaller then a hammer." she said, I nodded she could have a point. "Anything else that could help us?" I asked, disappointed she didn't know more. "Her feet bones are weird there slanted and look more like Barbie feet then real feet." she said, I figured it was a medical illness. "Do you suspect she had surgery on her feet or do you think it was a medical illness?" I asked her, hoping she'd get the answer right. "This might have been caused by wearing heels." she said, I sighed. "It looks like she has flat feet which if not treated can become severe." I said hoping she'd get the next answer right. "Oh." she said, looking at the body. "Alright, so now that we have most of the facts we need to figure out the cause of death." I said examining the body. "The skull we bashed in be a steel hammer, the foot looks to be cut into with rusted railroad spikes." I said, pointing to the talus, which had rust on it. "Where was the body found?" she asked, I looked at the case file. "At the dump, it was laying among garbage when they found it according to the case file." Sophe looked at me, I could tell she thought I was wrong. "So why do you think he feet were cut by rail road spikes if she wasn't near a rail road?" she asked, I pulled pictures out of the case file. "It's a dump filled with old rusty pipes and railroad spikes, you can see the railroad spikes if Angela zooms in on them, let me pull it up." I said, pulling up the pictures Angela had enlarged earlier. "So she was just talking a stroll through the dump and someone attacked her with a hammer?" she asked, I looked at her like she was dumb. "Well, no. She was probably riding with someone she trusted, someone close to her and they brought her here and killed her." I said, she laughed. "I was being sarcastic, but, It's probably her boyfriend." she said, I nodded my head slightly. "Her parents are also very likely to have had motive. We are going to interrogate them tomorrow." I said, I set the case file down and took my gloves off. "Great." I looked around picking up all my stuff. "We have the time of death, cause of death, and list of suspects so this case is almost solved. You can go home now, and come back tomorrow." I said, heading to my office. "Thanks Dr. Brennan, bye." Sophe said as she left in the other direction to go home.
