The Center Can't Hold Forever, chapter 1
Charlie is a good agent. He enjoys his work at the Bureau. To Charlie it is very challenging and rewarding to see the evil of the world locked up. But most of all he enjoyed his fellow agents.
One in particular to be exact. Special agent Seely Booth. This man is a legend. A closure rate on cases unheard of in the FBI. And intimidating… WOW this man could stare you down and fix a cup of coffee without breaking a sweat. True his success was due to his unorthodox partnership with the Jeffersonian's hottest scientist.
Well at least that was what everyone called her behind Booth's back. In front she was Dr Temperance Brennen, renowned forensic anthropologist, best selling author, and genius. Their partnership was one that everyone gossiped and talked about. There had even been gossip that they were more than partners. Which anyone who had been in a room with them bet they had. No one ever saw anything like it. They could carry on a conversation with each other with just looks. If you were in the room, you felt like you didn't exist.
It amazed everyone especially Charlie. He had been married to his highschool sweetheart for 5 years and they didn't have the relationship these "partners" had. It was a thing to be envied.
But right now Charlie didn't have time to dwell on his role model, he was on a mission, he had some files for Booth. These were the records on the scientists at the Collar Institute. The murder they were currently investigating was committed by someone at the Institute. Hopefully the files would give better insight as to whom. As Charlie turned the corner into Booth s office he saw it was empty.
"Does anyone know if Agent Booth is in the building?" Charlie asked the desk agents. "I think he is off with his hot scientist "Partner"." agent Howell said putting inflection on partner while making quotation marks with his fingers. Of course everyone chuckled. Charlie decided to leave the files on Booth's desk so he could find them. Hopefully Booth would be returning later that evening if they had not caught the killer already.
Angela really hated this case. The victim, the editor for the Collar Institutes journal was a very pretty woman. This was really not a good way to die. To be found in trash bags in an empty field. That is such a disrespectful way to leave the earth. But she knew they would catch the murderer. The best investigative team in the nation was on it. Agent Booth and her best friend Dr. Brennen.
Those two had a passion unmatched in catching bad guys. They have a passion for something else too, if they would only admit it. Angela thought. "I will get those two together eventually, and everything will be right with the world" Angela giggled.
Just then a much winded Hodgins ran up to her. "Hey Ang where is Dr. B?" Jack said between ragged breaths. "She and Agent hot Stuff went back to the collar to questions someone" as Angel glared at Hodgins. She knew there must be something important for Jack to run that hard to the platform. "Ok, I will call her cell, I found somevery interesting particulates!!" almost shouting though deep inhalations.
That man gets way too excited about particulate thingies, Angela thought as she saw him run off to the nearest phone.
But you gotta love his passion, oh wait I already did that, damn maybe another romp in Cleopatra's bed is in order?? She thought as she noticed Jack hang up the phone. "She didn't answer" Jack states.
Once again Angela's minded wandered, hoping it was because Agent hottie and Brennen were in the back seat of the Sequoia expressing their passion for each other. Doubtful, but oh a girl can wish!! Most likely it was just because they were interrogating a suspect and finally cracking this case.
5 hours later
There was a very hushed silence over two large buildings in Washington D.C.
At the Hoover building everyone was tense. One of their agents was missing. No one had seen him or his partner since just before lunch. No calls or answers to an agent's cell phone for over a couple of hours always worried the FBI. The other building was the Jeffersonian. Likewise one of their associates was missing. No one had seen her since just before lunch when her dashing FBI partner escorted her out of the building for a fun filled afternoon of lunch and questioning suspects.
They were all tense and worried; no phone calls went through to Dr Brennen's cell phone either. Director Cullen had called Cam an hour ago looking for them. It hadn't really crossed anyone's mind until then that no one had heard from Booth or Brennen. But now it was fresh on everyone's mind.
Suddenly a phone rings and Cam jumps to get it. "Yes sir, they found it where? OK, I understand, the full power of the Medico lab is at your disposal, Thanks, please call us with any information, Thanks" Cam eyes were as wide as saucers as she hung up the phone.
Taking in a deep breath she was about to give some very bad news.
"Ok people, Director Cullen said that Booths SUV was found with GPS at a parking garage at Washington Square Mall. It looked normal, nothing out of the ordinary. According to the GPS report the SUV left the Collar Institute at 2:30 pm and travelled to this mall. The agents questioned security and are reviewing tapes but it appears it is a dead end. Currently Cullen is getting a warrant to search the Collar from top to bottom. They can not use the existing warrant because the search is under different pretenses. Apparently because nothing states foul play the warrant may take a little time. I want you all to be ready to process any evidence we get as quickly as possible." Cams says as she takes a breath
"Normally we wouldn't be allowed to see the evidence because of our connection, but because of the technology we have is better than the FBI they are overlooking that fact for the time being." Cam sighs as she sees the worried look on everyone's face.
Angela, fearing the worst starts crying and embraces Jack, holding him tightly not wanting to think of the worst happening to her best friend.
