Chapter 4: Big Break
Parker was beginning to think that he had bit off more than he could chew when he had asked to work under his parents. It wasn't that the work was that bad they were just still processing evidence and they hadn't found anything yet. No the feeling of uneasiness he was getting now was coming from the fact that they were all three sitting on a couch in front of one highly amused forensic psychologist.
"Sweets keep looking at me like that and I'm going to crack your coconut." Parker growled at him. He couldn't blame the crabbiness on not being a morning person; Sweets just irritated the hell out of him.
"I've been telling him that for the last twenty years Parker and he has yet to listen to me." Booth grumbled the only reason he liked these sessions with Sweets was because he got to mess with him.
"Ignore them Sweets, Booth is just crabby this morning because he didn't have time to eat before he left the house. I have no idea what is the matter with Parker though." Brennan said looking from her husband to her son.
"Parker I believe your mother would like to know what's bothering you." Sweets told the younger agent in the room.
Parker chuckled at that. "I'm fine mom, and no Sweets I don't want to talk about it." He knew that this was Sweets' way of trying to pry into his feelings.
"Park I'm curious as to where you've been staying." Booth said looking at his son.
"I've been staying at a hotel I had it booked through this morning. All my stuff is in my car. I was going to come home tonight." Parker said hopefully he was sure his parents wouldn't mind him coming home but he wanted to be sure.
"Good I was hoping that you would say that you're coming home." Brennan said.
"So how is the case coming?" Sweets asked he could feel an idea for a new book popping into his head at that moment.
"It's coming I was in the lab until eleven last night watching Uncle Jack just sort through the evidence so he could start to work on it this morning." Parker said he actually hadn't gotten to bed until well after that but that was because he went to the bar because he knew there was no way he would be able to sleep. He didn't even notice that he had pulled a poker chip out of his pocket and he was playing with it.
"Parker I didn't realize that you had that habit too." Sweets observed the way that Parker was playing with the poker chip.
Parker realized what he was doing and stilled his hand. "Sorry, I just need to do something with my hands sometimes."
"I just find it interesting that you and your dad do the same things." Sweets replied like it was no big deal.
"We've been through this Sweets I only do it when I get in a extreme zone." Booth defended himself.
"Booth is was just making an observation." Sweets said in hopes of calming him. "So how do you three like working together?" he asked getting into what he really wanted to know.
"I think that this will be a good learning experience for Parker." Bones said.
"If he can manage to remember not to just go barging into Bones' crime scenes I think he'll do a good job." Booth observed.
"I've only been working with them a day and I've already learned not to touch a body without permission and just because I'm an agent that doesn't mean I get to interview witnesses." Parker grumbled but he shot his parents a charming smile.
Parker's statements really gave Sweets something to talk about and before anyone knew it the hour was up. Parker was the first to step out the door but he stopped in his tracks when he ran into someone.
"Oh gosh, I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was…" Parker began but he cut himself off when he saw who it was he had run into. "Belle?" he asked.
"Hi Parker." Belle replied.
Four years came rushing back on Parker all at once when he stared into her blue eyes. He thought he had buried those feelings some place not even he had access to them. "What are you doing here?" he asked he mentally cursed himself when he noticed that his voice had raised a couple octaves.
"I'm a federal lawyer now Parker I try cases for the FBI. I was just here to remind Dr. Sweets that he has to testify this afternoon." Belle answered and then she asked a question of her own. "What are you doing here?"
Parker took a deep breath before he answered to get his voice under control. "I'm the junior liaison to the Jeffersonian. I didn't know that you were back in D.C. now."
"I've been back about a year I went to Harvard for law school and then I decided it was time to come back home. I missed it here more than I realized." Belle replied.
Parker felt his heart flutter when his eyes fell to her hands and he realized that she wasn't married yet. "I missed it here too. Quantico isn't quite as good as D.C. but it'll do in a pinch."
"I'm sure that I don't have to ask this but I will anyway, you break any hearts lately you charmer?" Belle asked she acted like she was joking but she was interested in if he was still on the market or not.
Parker gave her his best charm smile. "Oh, you know me I'm a Booth of course I have. One look at this smile and I have women falling all over me." He didn't want her to think that he had spent the last four years of his life hung up on her even though he had.
Belle smiled back at him. "Yeah, I know the feeling I have done more things that I swore I wouldn't do because of that smile." She wasn't lying either that smile had almost been enough to make her stay with him but in the end she just couldn't do it.
"Like the time I convinced you to skip class on a Friday so we could spend a long weekend in the Keys." Parker laughed at the memory.
"That would be one really good example." Belle agreed smiling at him so that her blue eyes sparkled.
Parker could still get lost in those eyes even after spending four years apart. He hated to admit it but he was still under her spell. "Parker we have a case to get back to if you don't mind." Booth said bringing him back to reality. "Hi Belle." He said to the young woman with his son.
"Hi Mr. Booth." Belle replied.
"Right I know dad." Parker said to his father distractedly. "Belle listen I was wondering if maybe you're not busy if you wanted to have lunch with me this afternoon?" he asked hopefully.
Belle felt her heart start thumping in her chest. All the reasons that she had broke up with him went right out the window when he smiled at her like that. And as much as she wanted to say yes she knew that she couldn't. "Parker really I would love to but I have to be in court this afternoon. But I'll take you up on that offer later."
Parker smiled so that his disappointment didn't show. "Well then I will be looking forward to it." He said.
Sweets interrupted their conversation. "Belle it is not necessary for you to come by here to remind I have to be in court every time I have to testify." Parker shot a look at the closest thing he had to a big brother for interrupting him.
"I know but I just want to make sure you're not the one who works for Miss Caroline." Belle reminded him.
"Right and now that you have reminded me I think it's safe to say that I will be there." Sweets joked with her.
"Now that I have done my job I'd better go because I have to get ready for court." Belle said she needed to get away from Parker before she did something that she would regret. "Bye Parker."
"Bye Belle." Parker replied. His heart broke into a million pieces as he watched her walk away. All the feelings he had worked so hard to keep buried were back and that was the last thing he needed while he tried to work on this case.
"Well I have to say that was interesting." Sweets observed.
"Not one word Sweets or mom is the only person who will be able to identify your body." Parker threatened him.
"Parker anthropologically speaking it is normal for you to still feel an attraction towards Belle. She is the kind of person who would make the most suitable mate for you." Brennan pointed out to him in a way that only she could.
Parker couldn't answer her for fear that his voice would betray his feelings. Booth took one look at his son and he knew that he had to change the subject if only to give him peace of mind. "Bones I don't think he wants to talk about it right now."
"Come on dad we have a case to get back to." Parker said doing his best to bury his feelings again.
Hodgins was up in his lab staring at yet another sample from the crime scene Wendell was in the background watching him work.
"Have you found anything yet Hodgins?" Wendell asked out of boredom.
"Well the sample that Daisy sent up here from the under the victim's fingernails was soil. That only confirmed the theory that our mystery man was killed near a body of water." Hodgins replied.
"Does Angela have a facial reconstruction done yet?" Wendell asked.
"You would have to ask Angela that but I doubt it since Dr. B has yet to give a cause of death. It took you and Daisy a while to clean those bones. And Booth drug Brennan out of the lab at eleven last night when the rest of us called it quits." Hodgins answered.
Hodgins looked at a sample and then he looked again just to be sure he wasn't seeing things. "King of the lab." He exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air.
"What did you find?" Wendell asked curious as to what had him so excited.
"I found a time of death." Hodgins reported proudly.
"Don't keep us in the dark here Bug Man. You can't just say that and then not follow through." Booth said he had decided to check with Hodgins to see what he had.
"Your time of death is nineteen sixty-five. The pesticides I found in the system of some of the bugs went out of use in that year." Hodgins said.
"Way to go Uncle Jack. Now we have something to work with." Parker said and then he turned to Booth. "Dad if it's alright with you I'm going to run a search based on the ID we found with the body."
"Go on you know where all the computers are in here. I'll just go see how your mom is doing with the cause of death." Booth said reluctantly turning over some control of the case to his son.
Hodgins waited until Parker was out of earshot to ask Booth what was on his mind. "Alright Booth, what's up with the little G-Man?"
"Coming out of Sweets' office he ran into Belle." Booth answered.
"That's a tough break I know how much he still loves her even if he denies it." Hodgins replied.
"I know but who knows maybe there is still hope for them." Booth said being ever the optimist.
"If Sweets has anything to say about it they will be back together in no time." Wendell assured him.
"Forget Sweets if Angela finds out about this she will not rest until they are married." Hodgins warned them. Lord knows she had been that way with Brennan and Booth.
Parker walked into Angela's office and without even bothering to acknowledge his aunt he called up a program on computer that projected it's image onto a wall. He was a man on a mission he was trying to put his feelings on lock down and he wanted to contribute to this investigation.
"Baby Booth what are you doing?" Angela asked him curiously she didn't mind him using her setup.
"I am trying to find out what I can about the man we found in the club." Parker answered typing his name in.
"According to this George Swanson was twenty years old at the time he went missing. But he had one hell of a long record for such a young age." Angela said reading the information that was projected on the screen.
Parker raised an eyebrow. "You know there is just something about this that strikes me as off. Because I swear to you Aunt Ange I have seen that face someplace before and it is going to nag at me until I remember just where it was."
"Don't hurt your brain thinking too hard Parker it will come to you if you just forget about it." Angela said trying to help him out.
"Aunt Ange I have to contribute something to this case and what I'm having trouble remembering could be important." Parker protested.
"Baby Booth trust me on this one big guy just keep going through his records you might find something helpful in there. You never know what can turn out to be a clue." Angela countered his argument.
"He was basically a small time crook I wonder what he was doing that got him killed. And I really wonder what he was doing at that club. If I remember my history of the criminal underworld correctly you had to be a pretty heavy hitter to even get an audience with the boss." Parker said stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Maybe his prison records can tell you something. Whatever you do I suggest you get comfortable because we might be in here for a while." Angela said pulling up a chair next to him.
"Bones do we have a cause of death yet?" Booth asked his partner sure they didn't have to rush the case given the condition of the body but time could also hurt them.
"Booth this is a scientific process it can't be rushed." Brennan said without looking up from her work.
"Bones if we take any more time with this, this body is going to be classified as an archeological find." Booth whined sarcastically.
Brennan ignored his sarcasm she was working and she didn't have time to decipher his meaning. "Booth at this point I'm not even comfortable making conjecture as to what killed this man. I want to do a full examination first and that is just about complete. So if you could hold on for say about half an hour I will have your cause of death for you."
"I can wait I have no problem with waiting. I waited six years for you that is like twenty years in normal people time." Booth spouted off.
"Booth you know that I don't care to speculate where a body is concerned. Given the time that has past this body deserves my utmost care." Brennan retorted.
"Bones I'm not saying that I'm just saying that this is already a tough case to solve the longer we wait the harder it gets." Booth reasoned with his highly logical wife.
"Agent Booth while Dr. Brennan works on that I would like to draw your attention to ribs five and six on the right side of the ribcage." Daisy said hoping to appease the agent for a moment.
Booth moved over to take a closer look. "I see it Daisy but I have no clue what I'm looking at." He admitted.
"They were broken a short time before death it was a long enough time period that they had began to heal. But they without a doubt had medical attention so there should be a record of that somewhere." Daisy reported.
Booth smiled at his wife's former intern. "Good work Daisy."
"Thank you Agent Booth." Daisy said smiling back at him.
Booth pulled out his cell phone and he was going to dial a number before he thought of another question for Daisy. "Daisy how long before time of death would you say that those ribs were broken?"
"Given the progression of the healing I would say death occurred a month after the breakage occurred." Daisy said professionally.
Booth dialed Parker's number on his cell phone. "Park I want you to check the medical records on George Swanson presuming that there is a missing persons report I want you to check a month before the report was filed." Booth listened while Parker asked a question. "Just check them and see if anything important jumps out at you. Call me back or come get me if you find anything useful." He said before hanging up.
"Now I have a cause of death if you're interested in hearing it." Brennan said looking up from what she was doing.
"Of course I'm interested Bones." Booth said as if the answer should have been obvious to her.
"The cause of death is a gunshot wound to the parietal region of the skull. There was a bullet lodged in the frontal bone I don't know if you'll be able to get a make off of it." Bones reported professionally.
"Bones if you think that then you've never met Angela." Booth told her solemnly.
"I don't know what that means." Bones replied.
"It just means that Angela is really good what she does and she should have no problems giving us the make of this bullet. That is of course after she finishes her facial reconstruction." Booth explained to his wife.
"Booth go check in with Hodgins, I'm going to take this skull to Angela so she can start her reconstruction." Brennan said picking up the skull that she had been studying.
"Personally I love it when mom and dad catch a case it means that we don't have to go work in the lab. It seriously makes my day complete." Eli said she was laying on a raft floating around the pool that was in the Hodgins' back yard.
"I know what you mean Gizmo I get sick of that lab I don't know how are parents spend all that time in there." Booth said he was floating on the raft next to her.
"That's simple our parents are the original squints. Aunt Cam, Uncle Wendell, and Aunt Daisy are the only ones who weren't part of the original team." Bailey chimed into the discussion. Bailey, Eli, and Booth were the three amigos it took a lot to separate them.
"Yeah and of course we have to live up to that reputation or risk letting a lot of people down." Eli sighed.
"No, you two little Squints in here have to deal with that. Thankfully my artist genes are more prevalent. I get away with writing songs and writing books you two have to deal with the science." Booth taunted them.
"And while you're bragging don't forget that you've been allowed to tour with grandpa." Bailey supplied for him.
"And you've put out a couple of albums all on your own." Eli added.
"You guys need to knock it off you make it sound like all I do is brag." Booth pouted.
"That is all you do Booth. If you don't have your head in one of your notebooks writing then you're in the studio playing and if you aren't doing either of those things you're bragging. It is an art form for you." Bailey told her little brother. Well little brother wasn't an accurate term he was her younger brother but he was taller than she was.
"Gizmo tell that I'm not as bad as Bug makes me sound." Booth begged Eli.
Eli pulled her sunglasses down her nose and looked over them at Booth her brown eyes shining in the sun. "Booth you're not as bad as Bug makes you sound but you're only marginally better. There I hope you're happy now I don't normally like to lie." She teased him.
Booth knew that he could feel his heart start to beat differently when he saw that smile. He swore that he was having trouble breathing. He really needed to get over the attraction he had for Eli or he was going to get his heart broken. He put his hand over his heart and pretended to be wounded. "That one cut me so deeply Eli I think I will require surgery to mend the hole that your poisonous barb put in my heart."
"Gizmo there is no hope for that boy he is all Montenegro just when I think there might be a little bit of hope for him my mom's genes rear their ugly head. They should have just named him Angela Jr. and been done with it." Bailey addressed Eli.
Eli saw it as her duty to save her male best friend from his big sister. "I don't know Bug he might surprise you. Just when I start to think Lance is all Brennan he decides that he needs something from me and the Booth in him comes out."
"Sweetie, Lance is all Brennan the Booth charm doesn't count that comes standard issue with you people. H1 is the only one of you guys that has both Brennan and Booth in equal proportions. You, Parker, and Seeley are all Booth. Although I think whatever it is in your water that makes the Booth men so buff needs to come over here and work it's magic on the flabby ass Hodgins men that I have to look at." Bailey laughed when her brother glared at her.
"I am not flabby thank you very much Bug. This is a rock hard body that I have spent countless hours sculpting." Booth ran his hands up and down his washboard abs to prove his point.
"I sometimes wonder what would happen if we combined the Booth, Hodgins, Brennan, and Montenegro genes. I suppose we'll find out when H1 and H2 admit their feelings for each other." Eli said idly like it was just something that popped into her head.
"Well I've given this a great deal of thought. Any male born of any such union would be alpha males with feelings but with the cold calculations of a scientist. Any females would most likely be your usual giddy girls with an eye for details and a scientific understanding of the world." Bailey said going into detail with her explanation.
"Bug you have given this entirely too much thought." Booth began the grin on his face said that his sister was going to kill him for what he was about to say. "But I forgot you are the woman who had the huge crush on Parker when you were thirteen."
"Shut up Booth that is not never mentioning it again. I swear if you keep up with me today it will take mom, dad, and Aunt Tempe to identify your body when I kill you." Bailey threatened him just like she had thousands of times before it was nothing new to him.
"That is if I don't kill you first but the difference I'll be damn sure they know it's you without having to do a shit load of work. I'll do something poetic like leave a rose by your body I haven't decided yet." Booth retaliated.
Eli threw her head back and laughed at the siblings. "You two are seriously fucked up I think that Uncle Lance needs to have a talk with both of you about this."
"No that's ok Gizmo we don't need to be analyzed by Uncle Lance. As a matter of fact this conversation never happened so it can't be brought up to him even ten or twenty years down the road." Bailey rambled.
"Just remember if either of you does anything that pisses me off in any way I'm going right to Uncle Lance with this." Eli smirked she was always holding something over their heads it was the Booth in her she was good at blackmail.
"Ok ladies and gentlemen we are two months into operation get Seeley laid and so far it has yielded no results I'm forced to conclude that is because my older brother is totally repulsive to women." Hank said speaking into his hand like it was a microphone.
"I'm gonna show you repulsive if you keep fucking with me today Hank." Seeley said showing his fist to his younger brother.
"Here we go round seven hundred in the never ending Booth Brothers' Brawl. This is Harper Hodgins here with you today covering the action at ring side now to my broadcasting partner." Harper said pointing to Lance.
"And I'm Lance Booth here today to cover the always exciting action in my older brothers' ongoing feud. Last time we left you Seeley had just questioned my mother's fidelity to my father when he accused Hank of not being a Booth. Now lets take a closer look at how the stats add up. At 6'1 and a buck ninety we have Seeley Jack Booth Jr. who has without a doubt won the majority of the rounds now back to H3 for coverage on the younger of the Booth Boys." Lance picked up dutifully. They were all sitting in the dinner trying to decide what to do with their day.
"The opponent and by far the under dog is Henry Samuel Booth. He stands an inch taller than the champ at 6'2 and he weighs in ten pounds lighter at a buck eighty. Hank might be behind when it comes to the rounds but there is still a chance for him to win this fight with a decisive knock out. Let's take a listen in to what's going on." Harper said still in announcer mode.
"You really shouldn't use bad words Seel it makes you sound like an uneducated idiot. I think that a test should be done to see if you have any Brennan blood in you at all." Hank teased his brother.
"Trust me I have Brennan blood in me the proof comes when I lay down to go to sleep at night and I can't get my mind to stop." Seeley assured his younger brother.
"I have to say that was a good move on Hank the Hammer's part. He just basically used Seeley the Enforcer's words against him not many could pull that off but Hammer did and he left the Enforcer a tad bit stunned." Lance reported excitedly.
"I think that you may be a clone of dad. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure scientists made you and then implanted you into mom's uterus." Hank was on a role.
"Don't talk about clones Hank for all you know the government is listening in right now. They will haul your ass off and not think twice about it." Seeley countered.
"Oh that was a very smooth counter shot by the Enforcer he just earned back some major points. He discredited his opponent by employing the Jack Hodgins' conspiracy theory move. He is so smooth his name should be silk." Harper spoke into his spoon it was as close as he could get to a mic.
"This is a very close round but I have to say if things end right here and right now it's going to be awarded to Seeley." Lance gave his input on the matter.
Hayden walked in the dinner to find her brother and the three boys she thought of as her cousins going at it like usual. She wasn't in the least bit surprised that Lance and Harper were acting as announcers. "And the Booth-Hodgins' dorks are at it again with the fake announcer gig it has got to score them some serious points with the ladies." She made Hank get up so she could slide in the booth.
"And this fight is over because the evil one known as Hayden or H2 has showed up and ruined all of our fun as usual. This round is once again being awarded to the Enforcer better luck next time Hammer. This is H3 on the mic." Harper said.
"And this is Lance his right hand man." Lance chimed in.
"Saying until the next installment of the Booth Brothers' Brawl. Good Night and Good fight." Harper and Lance both signed off.
"You guys are seriously uber dorks forget the IQs you both have for a minute I think there might be something seriously wrong with you." Hayden said rolling her eyes at them.
"Ignore them H2 I know Seeley and I do but they do make it a little entertaining." Hank said slipping his arm around her shoulders.
"Hank I don't know how you deal with all three of these fools without wanting to hurt them." Hayden said laying her head on his shoulder. Neither of them found this behavior odd it was just the way they were.
"I treat them with kid gloves so I don't bruise their already delicate brains they just might surprise me and decide to use them one day." Hank replied shrugging.
"So what is on the agenda for us today?" Lance asked he was the only one who couldn't drive yet so he was dependent on them to shuttle him around.
"Well let's see here for starters we're going to grab some food and then we'll just hang out because at five we have baseball practice and Hayden has dance." Seeley informed his little brother.
"And afterwards we are hitting the path again on operation get Seeley laid because we can't give up on it. We have money riding on this Booth thinks that we're going to fail but I have news for him it's not going to happen." Hank said his resolve was strong that he wasn't going to let Booth win.
"That sounds like one hell of an operation Hank I'm not sure I want to know what that entails." Parker said pulling up a chair to the booth they were sitting in.
"Parker you weren't supposed to hear that mom will find it very amusing if she finds out but I don't think dad will feel the same way." Hank was doing some quick talking so he wouldn't tell on them.
"Hammer I've never told on you boys yet and I'm not about to. I'm just grabbing a snack before I head back to the lab. This case is pretty intense we have a lot of information that we don't know what to do with right now." Parker replied.
"Parker here is your pie." A waitress said setting it down in front of him.
"Thank you sweetheart I'm going to eat this now so I can enjoy it without my mother here." Parker replied winking at her.
"You kids want the usual?" the waitress asked them. She got a chorus of 'yes' for their response.
"I think you little Squints might spend too much time here but those are just my thoughts on the matter." Parker laughed.
"Parker eat your pie and then take your ass back to the lab you just got home and already I'm sick of you." Seeley told his big brother.
"Seeley I'm coming home tonight you better sleep with one eye open baby brother because I'm coming for you." Parker warned him in a joking tone.
"Parker I'm sure that Uncle Lance would be interested to know that you're threatening people now." Lance said in his usual Squint-like manner.
Parker was going to reply when his phone chirped and he looked down to see that his dad was telling him to get back to the lab. "As fun as this has been I have to go children I'll see you all later." on the way out he paid his tab and then he left more than enough money to cover the Junior Squints' tab as well.
Both Booth and Brennan were in Angela's office when Parker got back to the lab.
"Parker it's nice of you to finally join us again. We need to know what you found in those medical records." Booth said without any preliminaries.
"I didn't find anything in those damn medical records they were clean as a whistle. The guy was barely ever sick and he never had broken bone." Parker informed them.
"That is interesting." Was all Brennan had to say about the matter at the moment.
"I got the reconstruction on the victim done." Angela said pointing to the holographic imagine that appeared in the Angelator. " I can tell you one thing for sure there is no way in hell that this man is George Swanson."
"No that man looks exactly like Spud Henderson." Parker said his brain seemed to be working now.
"Parker who is Spud Henderson? Is this about your damn mob theory?" Booth asked his son not knowing what the hell he was talking about this time.
Parker shook his head and chuckled. "No dad this has nothing to do with my mob theory. Spud Henderson is a Sgt. that served under me in the corps. I'm telling you right now that he looks exactly like the guy on mom's table. It could be nothing and it could be something big I don't know yet."
"Parker are you sure the victim doesn't just remind you of your friend?" Brennan asked her son.
"No, mom you don't understand Spud doesn't just look like this guy. Spud and this guy could be twins." Parker tried to get his mother to see where he was coming from.
"Bub this is really bothering you isn't it?" Booth asked his son gently.
"Yeah it is dad, and for some reason the name Henderson is ringing a bell and that isn't because of Spud. I really need to work on my memory retention." Parker groaned and then a light bulb went off in his head. he pulled his cell phone out and started going through the numbers in there.
"Park what are you doing?" Angela asked confused.
"I need to make a call real quick Aunt Ange. If you guys will excuse me I'll be right back." Parker said walking out the door.
Booth pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "I swear to God Bones, that kid gets more and more like you everyday."
"Booth you should be very proud he is a warrior just like you." Brennan replied dryly.
"Pride has nothing to do with this Bones. He is driving me nuts right now. I know that he has a hunch and he isn't sharing what it is." Booth pouted.
Parker came back in the room a moment later and sat down at the computer terminal. He logged into something and pulled up the dossier on his buddy Henderson.
"Parker I don't understand what this has to do with the case." Brennan told him.
"Bear with me for just a minute here mom and I think I will be able to tell you what is going on here." Parker said as he read through his friend's background. "Here we go James Thomas Henderson IV. I knew that I wasn't going crazy it all makes sense now," he intoned triumphantly.
"Parker I wish you would let the rest of us in on what you're thinking." Angela said patiently.
Parker wasn't paying attention to her; his fingers were flying over the keyboard typing something else in. He clicked on the first helpful looking link that he found and he began reading.
"Parker what the hell?" Booth demanded of him.
"Just a minute dad I'm trying to read here." Parker replied never once looking up.
"See what I mean Bones?" Booth asked his wife a smirk on his face.
"I have no clue what you're talking about Booth." Brennan said innocently.
"Sweetie he's talking about the fact that you get so wrapped up in what you're doing that you ignore everyone else around you. Parker is doing a very good job of that right now." Angela helped her friend out by telling her what her husband had meant.
" King of the lab! I got it right here." Parker exclaimed as he closed out of what he had been looking at and stood up. He walked out of the office with the three other people hot on his heels.
"Parker where are you going?" Booth asked he had no clue what his son was going on and on about.
"Dad I don't want to tell you right now. What I have right now is what mom would call conjecture, I want to have something solid before I tell you about you about it." Parker replied distractedly.
"You're not even going to give us a little clue?" Angela asked she really wanted to know what he thought he was on to.
"No, I'll let you guys know later I promise." Parker said and then he called out. "Hey, Wendell grab an extra pair of those damn coveralls and the ladder we're going back to the crime scene."
"Dr. B is it ok if I go with him?" Wendell asked Brennan.
"Yes it is quite alright Wendell." Brennan said she knew her son he would go off by himself if he got it in his head to.
"Parker as soon as you know something tell us." Booth ordered him.
"Sure thing dad, Wendell and I shouldn't be too long." Parker assured them before he walked off the platform with Wendell.
"Well gee I hope he's onto something that will make my work easier." Hodgins mused.
"You're not the only one who hopes that Hodgins." Booth said sighing.
"I guess I'll get to work trying to identify the victim." Angela said shrugging.
"That would be very helpful Angela." Brennan agreed.
"And I will just wait around for either Parker or Angela to bring me something that I can investigate." Booth sighed again. He had no clue what his son was up to. But he could tell from the look in his eyes that he thought he was onto something big.
