Sorry for the delay in posting. I would also like to apologize for OOCness and any other problems there may be with that. Thanks for reading!
Chapter 2
"I swear that if I hear one more squinty word the rest of the journey in this moving metal box, I will kick you right out of the moving metal box. Do you hear me?" Booth was sick of the talk about crashing cars and injuries sustained during high speed collisions.
"Sorry Agent Booth," apologizing Zach in a ashamed tone. Booth continued driving without acknowledging the young doctor. They had only been driving for a half hour before the talk started and it instantly got on Booth's nerves.
"Booth, a 7-11. I want a Slurpee. Please?" whined Brennan.
Booth looked at her with a sideways glance. "You're serious?" She nodded with a smile. "Okay then." Booth pulled the vehicle into the parking lot.
"Hey twenty miles ago you wouldn't let me stop to see a garage sale flyer, but you'll stop to get a Slurpee?" questioned Zach.
"Quiet man," said Jack. "Don't you realize? He'll do anything for his lover Dr. Brennan." At those words, both Booth and Brennan whipped their heads around fast to glare at Hodgins and ended up bumping heads, hard.
"Ouch!" shouted Brennan.
"Son of a…that hurt!" Angela and Parker were doing their best to not laugh but all efforts were futile. They burst out laughing and Booth and Brennan left the car in an angry huff.
"Sorry," they apologized in unison. Booth smiled and held the door open for her as they walked into the store. "Well Bones, what flavor Slurpee do you want?"
"Banana. No, Pina Colada. Banana. I can't decide."
Booth couldn't help but to laugh. Temperance Brennan, world-renowned forensic anthropologist and author couldn't decide on a flavor of Slurpee. "Pick on Bones and I'll get the other for me." She smiled and made herself a cup, along with one for each of the Squints. As they were walking back to the car, Brennan gasped.
"Booth, you have a huge bruise on the side of your face!" She poked it, causing him to jump back in pain.
"Ow Bones."
"Stop being a baby Booth. Come here." She took her Slurpee from the cardboard holder and placed on his face.
"Cold, cold, cold," he whined. "Okay, that feels good now."
"See what happens when you stop whining?" Brennan removed the drink. "Now let's go." They returned to the car and Brennan passed out the drinks.
"Eww. I don't like cherry," voiced Zach from the back. Booth ignored Zach and started the car again.
"This pina colada is good," commented Brennan.
"Well I'm glad that you made the decision you did. It only took five minutes."
"Sorry, but I like banana too." She extended her hand outward signaling that she wanted a sip.
Booth rounded everyone up in the car after making a quick rest stop on the border of New Jersey. They had been traveling for fifteen minutes when Zach opened his mouth.
"Agent Booth, I have to go to the bathroom." Booth looked up in the rearview mirror.
"Are you kidding me? We just stopped."
"Yes, but those are public restrooms, at a rest stop for truckers. Did you happen to notice the condition of the lavatories?"
"Yes I did, but I bit the bullet and went because I had to. Now you are going to have to wait until we arrive at our destination." Zach mumbled something under his breath that Booth didn't notice.
Another ten minutes passed before Zach whined again. "Agent Booth, please. I really have to go."
"Zach, a half hour. Just wait thirty freakin' minutes!"
"Agent Booth, do you have a clue as to what can happen for holding it in for too long?"
"No and I don't really care."
"Then I'll go here in the car." Booth violently jerked the wheel to the side of the road.
"Hey man, I want to live to get to the beach house," shouted Hodgins. Zach jumped out of the car and literally ran to the tree line holding himself. Zach returned to the car with a satisfied smile in his face.
Booth, however, turned around in the seat to face the Squints. "You Squints are more annoying when I take you out of the lab. Again I say, if you don't want to walk the rest of the way then shut up. Any questions? No? Good."
Brennan looked over at Booth with a curious look on her face. "Booth, there's no reason to be so harsh. Lighten up a little."
Booth chuckled. "Funny. You telling me to loosen up." Booth through his head back and laughed.
