4. Tell me something I don't know
Booth and Brennan walked in the interrogation room. Brennan sat down over the girl with red hairs. She had a lot of make on her face. Melinda was staring at her from behind the glass. What could be so great about this woman that a guy would kill for her?
"Miss Doherty, do you know a guy named Derek Osement and his wife Kathy Mcgrey." Brennan asked
"Yes, I had a romantic relation ship with Derek, but we broke up. He wanted to give his relationship with his wife another chance. I have another boyfriend now. His name is Luther Jack Ranlo. But he didn't come home yesterday." Nathalie told them.
"Your ex-boyfriend and his wife were both murdered." Booth said "his wife has been death for 3 months, and the husband died in a strange way. You are an entomologist
, if am not mistaking?"
"Right, sir. But that does not make me a suspect right?" Nathalie looked at Brennan
"Could be, the victim was killed by normal flies, who were send at him. With pheromones. Perhaps you found a way to get it at the victim." Brennan said "You wanted the wife death, but he wanted to make up with her. Therefore, you killed him. The question is how."
"I didn't kill anyone. I know my stuff over pheromones. And I can't produce the amount of pheromones to let a normal fly attack that violently." Nathalie looked at Booth "No man can produce that amount of pheromones."
"Is your friend jealous in any way?" Booth asked her "Do you have any friends that you just see as a normal friend, a loner."
"My friend, Malcolm, Malcolm Jonson." Nathalie replied "He's a strange guy, and I know he has a crush on me, but he's just not my type. He knows that, he understands that."
"Is there a chance that he could have done this? Killed them." Booth looked at the glass, and he thought he could see Melinda. But he really did not.
"No" Nathalie said "He could not have killed them. He just couldn't"
"Is there anything that is out of the ordinary?" Brennan asked "Could it be that the boy produces pheromones that make flies act this way?"
"No, absolutely not. That is just impossible." Nathalie cried a little.
"Thanks miss Doherty." Booth said while giving her a hand. Melinda walked trough the door behind Nathalie. She had a paper in her hands.
"She was lying." Melinda said "She thinks there is something wrong with her friend. She thinks he killed her. She was saying he could not, but at the same time, she recognized what you meant. She thinks it is him. She's afraid that he killed her boyfriend, and probably he did. The question is, if she's next."
"Next?" Booth asked "If he's in love with her, why kill her?"
"Because she does not love her back." Melinda said "He's going to confront her, and she's going to say that she doesn't. He will get mad and kill her."
"You're sure it's this guy." Brennan asked
Her phone went. "Ryan" She heard on the phone. It was a digging in Canada; she had taken a while ago. She had forgotten that she had said yes to it. They called her to check in.
"Do you need my help?" She asked Booth and Brennan "I'm going to Canada in two days. And I will be back in a 10 weeks or something. I do not know how to tell Zach, this search was planned. But first they told me, that there was no budget, and now there is."
Zach and Angela were standing around the bone table
"So Zach, how are you and Melinda. Hot and heavy?" Angela asked
"Yes, pretty much. We've slept together." Zach said "I'm feeling it's going to fast, tough."
"Why Zach?" Angela asked "You look so cute together?"
"Seeing her daughter brought something to me." Zach said "She never told me, what just happened to her husband, just that he was dead. Does she not trust me enough?"
"Zach, maybe she is not completely over what has happened." Angela told her "Maybe she wants to leave it behind her. She does trust you. Some things you just don't tell. You keep it to yourself. Some day she will open up to you."
"Yeah, but I do want to take it slow. Build up a relationship." Zach said "She's amazing. We really get along, sexually."
"That is important, Zach." Angela said "Very important. How much times a week, Zach?"
"You should ask how much sleep we get." Zach looked around "I'm tired."
"Oh, Zach is getting it every night." Cam said while she walked by "So Melinda is not that good girl in the bedroom? I never thought I would have this talk with Zach Addy."
"Yeah, I shouldn't talk about this." Zach said
"Oh common Zach" Angela said "Me and Hodgins do it every night, and you and Melinda apparently too. So do you kind off live together?"
"No, we don't live together." Zach replied "Prue was over at her grandparents for the 2 weeks. Something about a vacation to Egypt or something. Prue does not like me. She feels like I'm replacing her father."
"Zach, that is completely normal, the kid thinks you'll be replacing her as father. It is just fear, probably if you will spend more time together; she will learn to appreciate you in time. She's only two, Zach."
"Hey, Zach" Melinda said "Can we talk for a moment?"
"Sure." Zach walked to his office, she followed him.
"You remember that I told you I had to go to Canada for 2 months, and it turned out there was not enough budgets. Well, they have enough budget, and they are begging me, to lead the team." Melinda said "It's only two months and we could slow things down a little. I'll ask my grandparents to take care of Prue."
"No, you don't have to ask them." Zach said "I'll take care of Prue, I can bring her to the daycare during the day, and we can get to know each other."
"Zach, are you sure? I mean do you know how to take care of a two year old. Well, she is potty trained, so that is no problem. Zach, you work until 12, she can't be at the lab all this time." Melinda said "There is off course the option that I could take her, but she doesn't deal well with change. It's been like that since her father died."
"So you should let me take care of her." Zach said "I mean if we live together, I'll have to take care off her. And we are almost living together. I'm saying give me a chance to win you daughters heart."
"Okay, Zach." Melinda said "I've got to go home and pack. I have leave early in the morning. I will take Prue home, and I will put her to sleep. I'll see you later, right?"
"Yeah, sweetie." Zach said while kissing her lips "I got a lot of work left."
"Melinda is it okay; you'll start working for the Jeffersonian when you get back?" Cam asked. Melinda nodded. She walked to Brennan's office. She carried her daughter out of the building.
"That girl is so cute." Angela said "Brennan even taught she was cute. I mean she pointed at Brennan's fingers and said phalange. I think she is opening her for motherhood. I mean Brennan laterally said she wanted a baby like Prue. And I mean she's so sweet. Booth called her a squinty baby."
"A squinty baby?" Cam looked weird at her
"Yeah, product of two squints." Angela smiled "does that mean, me and Hodgins will get a squinty baby?"
"I guess" Zach replied "What does a baby off me and Melinda look like."
"I think that baby rewrites Einstein when he just got born." Cam replied "Probably your kid will have the highest IQ. Zach, please tell me there is no Zach Jr. on the way."
"There is no Zach Jr. On the way. But what makes you say I'll call my baby Zach Jr." Zach asked
"It's a joke Zach." Angela said "A kid of you and Melinda, She'll be as smart, I hope he has her hear, your nose. Your hair color."
"Let's just go back to work." Zach said "We have to find something that puts the suspect on the crime scene."
