A/N: Since I'm not blocked on one shots, here's another Sully death. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! This idea is from ewriter. This one's a little different (please don't hurt me) as it's from Brennan's POV instead of Sully's. Enjoy!
Never smile at a crocodile Sully (or an alligator)
Temperance Brennan, aka Bones, was in Florida. Without Booth. It just felt wrong somehow. The agent she had just met rubbed her the wrong way. He was weaselly for starters, and stupid. He'd proclaimed loudly that the creature in front of them on the shoreline was a crocodile, which Brennan was quick to point out was wrong, also educating him on the differences between the two species.
She wouldn't admit it, but she missed her partner. She turned back to the task at hand, only to see that the idiot was now in the water, splashing around for no apparent reason. She took a closer look at the situation and noted that there was an angry looking woman at the water's edge. She was now gleefully laughing at the man, who'd introduced himself as Tim Sullivan, in the water.
He'd told her to call him Sully, which Brennan wasn't sure was professional, so she called out to him formally. "Agent Sullivan, get out of the water. We have work to do. This isn't a public swimming pool!" She shook her head. This was going to be a long case.
As she watched Agent Sullivan slowly making his way back to shore, she caught a glimmer of movement in the water behind him. It vanished, and appeared again seconds later, closer to the "man" taking his sweet time getting back to land. The third time, she saw more than just a glimmer and the powerful jaws of an alligator came into view, snapping down on Agent Sullivan's legs. A girlish scream rang through the air and those present came over near Brennan to watch. After the animal was finished with Agent Sullivan, there was nothing left but blood and an arm floating in the water. Brennan shook her head. Perhaps the alligator hadn't liked Agent Sullivan calling its fellow alligator a crocodile. Or maybe it was just a sign that she wasn't meant to work with anyone other than Booth, if one believed in such things of course.
She sighed and turned to the gawkers, giving out orders and getting everyone back on track. She wanted to get back and call Booth.
A/N: Hopefully, not different in a bad way. Thanks for reading!
