Chapter 5:
"Booth" The FBI agent said into his phone.
"Cherie, get over to the Hoover, I need you" said the puckish prosecutor they all know and love, Caroline.
"Oooh, you need my expertise huh?" smirking all the while he said it.
"Just get over here"
At the Hoover:
"What do you need Caroline?"
Booth led Caroline into his office. He listened as she started to tell him what her job for him was.
"I need the pictures you're squint took at the crime scene. They're on an SD memory card at the Jeffersonian. Bring it to me."
"Why didn't you just call me? I was just there!"
"Oh is that where you were? I thought you were off having lunch with your girlfriend"
"She's not my girlfriend" hoping she wouldn't realize the hesitation and worry in his voice.
"Oh please, it's OBVIOUS you two are together! And if there's anyone to thank for that, it's me!"
"Why you?"
"Because Cherie, I'm the one who made you two lovebirds kiss under the mistletoe"
"Oh right, well um, thank you for that but um, that kinda wasn't our first… you know what? Thank you Caroline, for making me kiss my partner."
"That's all I ask for Cher" she said this with a loving grin on her face
"So why do you need the card?"
"Doctor Sweets said he could use his psychological skills to tell us about the victim's personality by looking at pictures of his home."
"Oh no need, Bones knew him. She could just tell us about him."
"Sweets just wants to make sure. So, are you gonna get the card or what?"
"Ok, but who has it?"
"Who do you think has it? The person who deals with all the computer technical whatevers. Angela's the one who put them on the card, and she's the one who has it now"
"Of course Angela has it. And I'm going to have to talk to her to get it" Booth said under his breath
"That won't be a problem, will it Cher?"
"No no, of course not Caroline it's just um, why didn't you call me instead of having me drive here while I was already at the lab"
"That would've been the more efficient thing to do wouldn't it?"
Back at the Jeffersonian:
Booth walked back to Angela's office with clammy hands. How was he supposed to talk to her? Ask her for the SD card and walk away like he still hates her and isn't talking to her? "Maybe she'll understand what I need if I write it down for her. No, no that'll take too long! OH! Maybe if I use sign language! Wait a minute, I'm not deaf! How am I supposed to know sign language? How about-"
"Hey Booth"
His thoughts were cut off by the all too familiar voice, which he was always happy to hear.
"Hey Bones, could you do me a favor and go get a memory card from Angela for me, please?" He gave her that pouty look he knew she couldn't resist.
"Sorry Booth, but Wendell found a recovering wound on the victim's left femur. I'm going to check it out now" And she resisted the pout
"Aww please – don't just- walk away…"
By the time he finished his sentence, she was already out of sight.
"Come on Seeley. Face her like a man"
He walked into the Artist's office and was greeted with a jolly and sincere "Hey Studly"
He looked at her with a straight face without saying a word.
"Still not talking to me huh? You came for the SD card didn't you?"
All Booth did was nod in agreement
"Ok, you can have the card… But you have to say please" Angela said this with an all too triumphant glowing look.
Booth knew she'd find a loop hole out of this. She always does. What was he going to do? He was not going to talk to her! He refused. So he shook his head.
"Oh really, well then how are you gonna get the card? Because I have it and you don't. Come on, I'm making it easy for you. All you have to do is say please. It's not like I'm making you apologize, which you will have to do sometime. But in the meantime, just say please."
He once again just shook his head. At which point Caroline walked in at Angela talking and Booth shaking his head at her. She didn't know what the heck was going on. So she decided to speak.
"What's going on?"
"Caroline! I was trying to get the SD card for you when Ms. Montenegro over here didn't want to give it to me!"
"Um, excuse me Mr. Booth but I said I would give it to you if you said please"
"WELL I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO SAY PLEASE?"
"YOU JUST TALKED TO ME!"
A defeated Booth gave up and shrugged his shoulders. Caroline was trying to hide her snickering but wasn't doing a very good job of it.
"Look Booth, I came over to tell you that you don't have to bother with the card. Sweets took it and dropped it off thirty minutes ago."
"What? But Angela has it, how'd he-"
"I lied" A sneaky Angela replied
"You mean you don't have the card?"
"Nope. I did, but Sweets took it."
"But then why did you-"
"I just wanted to get you to talk to me. I did a pretty good job didn't I?"
