THE PACKAGE

.

They arrived to Booth's in a few, and after make him sit comfortably on his couch, with everything he could need at hand, Bones went to her place to pick up some clothes and personal effects. She put everything she thought could be needed, and left and closed her door. Before she could leave the building the super called her.

"Dr. Brennan! Could you wait a second, please? I have a package delivered for you."

"Of course!"

"I have it right here." He was rummaging through the mail and packages, and then he found it. "Here you have." He told. It was a grey cardboard box, of about a 20 cm3. It haven't any sign, nor name, nor mark of any kind.

"Thank you." She told while turning the box looking for something that could tell her who has sent it. "When has it arrived? I can't find any sender." She asked, still looking at the package.

"This morning, a carrier took it, but since you weren't at home I told them to leave it here."

"It's ok, thank you. Oh, I'm going away for a week, could you please take any messages for me while I'm away?"

"Of course, Dr. Brennan. No problem!"

"Thank you again. Bye"

"Good bye, see you soon."

She left the building with the package and her luggage, and put all in her car. She sat in the driver's seat and opened the package. Inside she found a smaller box wrapped in red with a white ribbon. When she opened it she found a smaller one and a note.

"You are the most brilliant person I've known"

And when she opened the smallest box she found a light bulb, an old, dirty, and blown light bulb. She took it from its box and watch it carefully, but it was just a bulb, nothing else. She put it again in the box and drove to Booth's. In the way tried to think this strange package, and its meaning, but she had no idea and thought it would possibly be an eccentric fan of her.

She arrived to Booth's with her luggage and the strange package in her hand.

"Hi, I'm here!" She announced her arrival.

"Hey!" He said in return.

"Someone has delivered this package this morning. The super has picked it up for me. It's a little strange, take a look at it. I don't know what to think about it." She gave the box to him and he opened it, to find the second box with the rubber. He opened it too and found the note and the smallest box with the bulb. He read the note and looked at her.

"What the hell does this mean?"

"I have no idea. But it could be some fan with an odd sense of humor."

"It could be. But I'm taken aback, and I don't like to be taken aback."

"Booth, it's probably nothing, you don't have to worry for this. This is not the first odd package I've received."

"Well, I feel better now. What more have you received that I have no idea?" He said with irony.

"I receive a lot of mail every day, packages with gifts from fans, or from companies I've worked for some time, organizations… Do you really think I'm going to notify you every letter, package or note I receive?"

"No, of course not. But yes, I expect you to tell me the odd ones. What happens if there is some maniac sending you whatever maniacs could send to their victims?"

"Booth, please, you cannot be serious!" She was starting to raise her voice now. "I can take care of myself, and in fact, nothing has happened. And just for your information, what do you think I've first done when I saw the content of the package?" She was upset and she didn't want to hide it. "I HAVE TOLD YOU!" She was looking at his eyes. "I have told you as soon as I could, but now I'm regretting of doing it."

"Bones, don't shout at me, I'm just trying to help you, you know that." He said, trying to calm her down. His head was beginning to hurt. "It's ok, we can discuss it later."

"No, we have nothing to discuss. This is just what it is, an odd and insignificant light bulb."

"Ok, Bones, as you want, by now. I have a big head ache, and I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now, please!"

"Oh, I'm sorry for yelling at you." She was a really sorry. "I didn't mean to give you more pain." She sat beside him on the couch. "Do you want a pill for your head? It'll help you to sleep better."

"No, I think I can bear it without pills, thanks, at least by now. But I'm starving, the pudding is not enough for me." He said laughing. She laugh too, feeling more relaxed. "Maybe we can order something to eat."

"This is a great idea but, do you mind if I take a shower first and put some more comfortable clothes on? We can order something at Sid's."

"Ok, I'll order something while you take your shower."

"Perfect."

She went to the bathroom while Booth dialed Sid's number.

Ten minutes later she came to the leaving room in a white pajama and drying her hair with a towel. Booth was sat on the couch, when she appeared in his view. He couldn't help to stare at her and think about his dream, think about her the same way he thought about her in that dream. And then, her voice brought him to reality again.

"What are you looking at?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about… your package again." He lied.

"No, please, don't go over that again. I've told you, it's not important, really, it doesn't matter."

**Knock, knock**

"Ops, the food!" He told.

"I'll open de door, just set the table." She said while opened the door. She paid the food to the boy and put it on the table. The package was forgotten by the moment and they ate while watched the news on the tv, and after clear the table they sat on the couch and watched a night show until the two fell asleep.

In the meantime, outside the building, a pair of eyes were watching at the window of Booth's apartment, full of jealousy and envy, thinking about her disdain by running to tell Booth about his original present. But a few moments later, they had vanished.
