I'm sorry this took so long! I've been pretty busy with school! This chapter's on the short side but I hope you like it anyway! :D

I do not own Bones or any of the movies or tv shows I referenced!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T.J. THYNE! :D

Chapter 4

How had he not thought of it before? How had he not thought of it before? Slightly annoyed at himself for not thinking of it yesterday, Jack Hodgins drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. If Amanda Jones had really fought back in the struggle then she may have ripped out hair or something else that could have been hidden in the struggle. Something that could have been missed.

Cam had sent him and one of the interns to check it out. "What exactly are we looking for, Dr. Hodgins?" Finn asked from the passenger seat.

Hodgins shrugged as he pulled up at the crime scene. "Anything. Anything that will help in the investigation." He was searching around the grass in just a few moments, eagerly looking for anything that could give them a lead. He hardly noticed as Finn began wandering around himself, doing his own search.

"How's Michael?" he asked, accent thick as always.

"Great. Talking more and more every day."

"Much like you there, Thurston."

"Aw, thanks, Opie," Hodgins replied with a grin as he squatted on the ground near where the tent was.

A half an hour flew by with nothing happening and Hodgins was beginning to feel discouraged. "Thurston," Finn called. "I think I have something." He was kneeling by a tree quite a few feet from where the murder took place. Raising his eyebrows in curiosity, Hodgins moved to stand beside the young intern. "Right there." Finn pointed even though it was pretty unnecessary. Hodgins noticed it instantly. There was a small area where it had obviously been dug up. However, seeing as it was so far out of the way of where the girls had actually been killed, Hodgins was impressed that Finn had noticed it.

It only took a couple of minutes to find what was burried. It was a piece of black clothing. Hodgins lifted it up and a small paper fell from it onto the dirt. He glanced at Finn, who picked up the note. Hodgins nearly immediately knew what the cloth was and stared. "Look at this…." He lay it on the dirt and pointed. "You see that?"

Finn's eyes widened. "Holy…"

It was the left half of the Zodiac symbol from the outfit that the killer had worn to attack Cecilia Shepherd and Bryan Hartnell in 1969. Hartnell had described it to the police during the investigation. This was that symbol on a piece of black shirt, much like originally described.

"Dude, are you serious?" Wendell grinned at Finn. "You found a piece of the… You really found…" He whistled. "Nice work man!"

"Now, what'd the note say?" Clark asked.

"It had another code," Finn answered.

"Oh, Angela can't be happy about that," Wendell said.

Finn shook his head. "I reckon not. It also said that we ain't got a chance at catchin' him. Said that they wouldn't be the last girls to be slaughtered."

"Did he really say "slaughtered"?" Arastoo asked.

"He did indeed."

Arastoo shook his head in disgust. The five interns were sitting on the steps outside of the Jeffersonian with their lunches. They had done the same thing yesterday and did it again today without any questions. Finn had a feeling that it was becoming a regular thing. Silence fell on the group as they each got into their bags of food.

After a moment, Wendell spoke. "Have you guys seen the movie Class? With Andrew McCarthy and Rob Lowe? It came out in '83."

The question threw Finn through a loop and he cocked an eyebrow at his fellow intern then paused before answering. "I have not. Is it any good?"

"Please," Fisher scoffed, giving Finn his best "There's something wrong with you" look. "It's one of the best movies to hit this dismal world."

"Actually, I'm afraid I haven't seen it either," Arastoo put in.

Clark chuckled. "I haven't seen that movie in years. I must have been seventeen the last time."

"Gentlemen, that won't do," Fisher said with a shake of his head.

Wendell shrugged. "I found it at Wal-Mart. You lot want to hang out after work and watch it?"

That threw Finn off guard. He glanced around at the group and shrugged. "I ain't got nothin' to do tonight. What the hell, I'm in."

"I'll have to talk to Nora but I'd love to see that movie again," Clark agreed.

Arastoo gave a smile and nodded. "You know, that actually sounds fun."

Fisher nodded his head in agreement. "I'm there."

Still surprised, Finn smiled to himself. "What's the movie even about?"

"Two roommates at a prep school," Fisher answered simply. He glanced at Wendell and Clark. "We shouldn't say anymore."

"Couldn't if I tried," Clark replied with a chuckle.

Wendell grinned. "You boys are in for the funniest hour and a half of your lives," he said as he bit into his sandwich. "Trust us." He grinned at Fisher and nodded. "They'll thank us."

"Without a doubt," Fisher replied.

Slightly to his surprise, Finn couldn't help but be excited to see these other interns outside of work.

Arastoo glanced behind him and then moved into Cam's office. He'd told the others to go ahead of him and that he'd meet them at Wendell's. He wanted to see Cam first. She looked up and smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her quickly. "You'll never guess what I'm doing this evening."

Cam chuckled and shook her head. "I probably won't. What?"

"Going to Wendell's with the other interns to watch Class," he replied. She couldn't hide her surprise. "Yeah, I know. We've never done anything out of work. Seems like it could be fun though."

"I think it's a good idea," she told him. "Go have fun. Get to know the boys. Besides, Class is a great movie. Michelle and I used to watch it all the time."

He nodded. "Fisher and Wendell both like it a lot. Should be interesting right?"

She chuckled. "To say the least. Let me know how it goes."

"I will." He gave her a quick kiss before jogging out of the lab.

Angela yawned as she lay on the couch in her living room, her head on one arm of it and her feet crossed on the other. Her eyes were closed and she could feel herself drifting to sleep.

"What're you watching?" she heard as she felt her legs lifted gently off the couch and then placed in her husband's lap.

"How I Met Your Mother," she mumbled, opening her eyes.

Hodgins smiled at her adoringly. She loved it when he looked at her that way. "Honey, you love this show and you're barely awake. Are you ready for bed?"

"I wanna finish it," she insisted sleepily.

He cracked a grin. "All right, well which episode is it?"

"You know… The one where they're in the bar," she replied, grinning back as she realized she honestly had no clue.

Jack laughed lightly. "You sure you're not ready for bed?"

She chuckled and nodded her head. "Yeah, bed sounds great," she replied as she sat up, sliding her legs off of her husband. Jack took her hand and gently led her upstairs. "Did you hear about the interns?" she asked, remembering for the first time since Wendell had told her earlier.

"No." He glanced at her curiously.

"They're all at Wendell's watching Class."

"I love that movie." He grinned and kissed her cheek.

She chuckled. "Trust me, I know. I'm more of a Dirty Dancing girl."

He grinned. "Trust me, I know." He kissed her cheek once more before leading her to bed.

"Oh, I'm exhausted," Angela sighed as she slid into bed. "That code's giving me trouble. But it's close enough to the last one I think I can get it tomorrow."

Jack shook his head as he lay down beside his wife. "This is a heck of a case." He threw her a playful grin before adding, "Think we'll go down in history for it?"

"I don't even care as long as we solve it before I go insane," Angela chuckled with a shake of her head as she turned out the lamp. She leaned over and kissed Jack quickly. "I love you."

He smiled. "I love you too."

Neither of them slept well. It was almost as if they knew subconsciously that this case was just about to get more troublesome.

There we are! I sure hope you all liked it! Has anyone seen the movie they watched? :)

Next chapter is going to be a fun one! xD
