Thanks for reviewing my story. I appreciate it.
I don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
Brennan was in her office, working on a report for Booth, when Sweets knocked on her office door. Looking up, Brennan smiled at Sweets and motioned for him to come in to her office.
Walking across the room, Sweets sat down on the chair across from Brennan's desk and said, "I thought I would come by and check on you. I know Booth went to Richmond this morning and I thought I would see if you want to go to lunch with me.
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Sweets; but, that won't be possible. I have an appointment at 12:30 and I can't miss it. Perhaps we can go to lunch tomorrow."
Nodding his head, Sweets said, "Would you like me to drive you to your appointment? I know that you've cut down on driving since you've become pregnant."
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "I'm only five months pregnant, Dr. Sweets. I'm perfectly capable of driving. There's not that much risk at this stage of my pregnancy, besides, I'm an excellant driver and it's unlikely that I will have an accident."
Nodding his head, Sweet said, "Of course. I just thought I would offer. Uh, you only have one brother, don't you Dr. Brennan?"
Frowning, Brennan said, "Yes."
Licking his lips, Sweets asked, "Do you have any cousins living in the D.C. area?"
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "I have two cousins and neither one of them lives here."
Smiling, Sweets said, "I bet you want to know why I'm asking you these questions."
Frowning, Brennan said, "No, not really. You ask personal questions all of the time. I've become used to you doing that."
Nodding his head, Sweets said, "Are either one of your cousins a man?"
Pursing her lips, Brennan said, "No."
Sighing, Sweets said, "Jared is Booth's only brother, isn't that right?"
Losing patience, Brennan said, "I really have work to do, Dr. Sweets. I'm sure you could look this information up somewhere if you wish. I know the FBI vets everyone that works for them. I don't see why you can't just look up Booth and my records and get the answers from there."
Holding up his hands, Sweets said, "Sorry, Dr. Brennan. I was just trying to chitchat."
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "I really don't have time to chitchat with you Dr. Sweets. Perhaps you could do that with Daisy or Angela."
Nodding his head, Sweets stood up and said, "You know, Dr. Brennan. If you ever need anyone to talk to about anything, you can call me. Day or night. I'll be there for you."
Sighing, Brennan said, "I don't wish to go to therapy, Dr. Sweets. I'm fine."
Shaking his head, Sweets said, "No, I wasn't offering as a psychologist, Dr. Brennan. I'm offering as a friend."
Nodding her head, Brennan said, "I see. Thank you."
Not knowing how to continue the conversation, Sweets left Brennan's office.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Brennan had just finished her report and was looking it over for editing purposes, when her phone rang. Answering it she heard Booth's voice, "Hey, Bones. I got to Richmond ok and my interview netted me some useful info. It might lead to Little's shooter. Are you going to your appointment soon?"
Nodding her head, Brennan said, "Yes. I'll be leaving in around thirteen minutes."
"If you get a chance, could you drop by Sweets' apartment this afternoon and check on him?" Booth asked. "He's sick and I want to make sure he's ok."
Frowning, Brennan said, "He may have been sick this morning; but, he seems to be well now. He came by my office a little while ago to visit me."
Puzzled, Booth said, "That's weird. He looked sick when I dropped by his apartment this morning. What did he want?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Brennan said, "He wanted to know if I have more than one brother, if either one of my cousins are male and he wanted to know if you only have one brother.
Shaking his head, Booth asked, "And what did you tell him?"
"No, no and no," Brennan answered.
"Weird," Booth said. "That kid gets weirder every day. I'll call you later this afternoon. I miss you, Bones."
Smiling, Brennan said, "I miss you too, Booth."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
After leaving Brennan's office, Sweets had walked over to Hodgins' office. Seeing that Hodgins was in his office, Sweets knocked on the doorframe and walked in.
Looking up, Hodgins said, "Hey, Sweets. What brings you here?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Sweets said quietly, "What if I told you that I saw Dr. Brennan kiss someone yesterday and it wasn't Booth?"
Shaking his head, Hodgins said, "Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about?"
Walking closer to Hodgins, Sweets lowered his voice and said, "I saw Dr. Brennan holding the hand of some man I've never seen before and then she kissed him."
Laughing, Hodgins said, "I'd say you're up to something and it involves getting revenge against me and Angela for that mouse thing we pulled on you. Well, it won't work. I'm not stupid and neither is Angela."
Shaking his head, Sweets said, "I'm not lying and I'm not getting you back for that mouse stunt. I'm lucky Booth is still talking to me so I'm not worried about anything you and Angela did. I'm telling you the truth about Dr. Brennan, I'm just not sure what to do about it."
Nodding his head, Hodgins said, "Ok, where did you see this supposed kiss happen?"
Folding his arms across his chest, Sweets said, "You know that new restaurant, The Cracked Egg? I was eating breakfast there and I just happened to look out the window and I saw her."
Frowning, Hodgins said, "Bullshit, I don't believe you."
Nodding his head, Sweets said, "Ok, I know for a fact that Dr. Brennan didn't go with Booth to Richmond this morning because she has an appointment to see someone. Want to go with me to see who she's seeing?"
Curious, Hodgins said, "What are you going to do, follow Dr. B?"
"Yes, I am." Sweets said.
Biting his lower lip, Hodgins said, "Do you know what would happen to us if Dr. B. found out we were following her around?"
Sweets said, "How would she know? You know how she is. Unless she's with Booth and his radar is on, Dr. Brennan walks from point A to point B and she doesn't care who's behind her or ahead of her. She won't know we're following her because she won't care."
Sighing Hodgins said, "I'm probably going to be murdered for doing this; but, ok, I'll go with you; but, only to prove that your full of shit. I'll tell Angela I have an errand to run and I'm going to lunch with you while I'm out. So when do we have to go?"
"I think we need to go outside and wait now." Sweets said. "She told me that she has an appointment that she has to keep at 12:30 today."
Shaking his head, Hodgins said, "Let's use my car. I park four spaces over from Dr. Brennan. When she leaves I'll just follow behind her."
Nodding his head, Sweets said, "Sure. That's ok."
Ooooooooooooooooo
Sweets is digging the hole deeper. What do you think?
Just to give you a time table: I plan to update this story every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (if FFN is working properly)
