Thanks for reviewing my story. I really do appreciate it.

I don't own Bones.

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

After everyone had eaten and returned to the body in the woods, Booth had walked over to his truck and looked to see if there was anything left to eat. Finding some chicken and biscuits left, Booth sat down in the back of his truck and started to eat. Watching the woods and the tunnel, Booth was thankful for the quiet time.

Sheriff Messersmith decided to drive back to Bedford and told Booth to call him if and when he found out something about the victim. The Sheriff had talked to his deputy before he left. He had told her that she would have to stay until the FBI was finished and they had left the site. Nodding her head, Deputy Jay had turned her head to look at Booth.

Sheriff Messersmith, noticing his deputy ogling Booth said, "You better leave Booth alone. If his partner finds out your putting the moves on Booth, she's liable to drive up here and kick your ass."

Shrugging her shoulders, Deputy Jay said, "I'm just looking. He's already told me he's not interested."

Smiling, the Sheriff said, "Just making sure. His partner is the world's leading forensic anthropologist and if she decided to get rid of you she could do it and we would never be able to prove she did it."

Frowning, Deputy Jay said, "Come on. I don't for a minute believe that someone like that would do what you're saying. People like that don't think like you or me. They're too smart to let themselves get that worked up."

Shrugging his shoulders, Sheriff Messersmith said, "I've met the lady and I can tell you right now, she doesn't like other women to hit on Booth. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone."

Laughing, Deputy Jay said, "What's he going to do, tell his partner that I've been hitting on him? She's not here. She'll never know. If she's as jealous as you say she is; then, I don't think he'll tell her."

Smiling grimly, the Sheriff said, "Booth may not tell his partner about it; but, that doesn't mean that Dr. Hodgins or Daisy won't do it. They work with her and I'm pretty sure they'll tell Dr. Brennan the minute they see her. Mind your manners and leave him alone. I need to be able to call them to help me out sometimes and I don't want Booth or Dr. Brennan refusing to come up here because of your antics."

Glancing at Booth and then back at her boss, Deputy Jay said, "Ok, I get it. Leave the FBI agent alone."

Patting his deputy on the shoulder, Sheriff Messersmith returned to his car and drove away. "I don't know if Dr. Brennan is as jealous as I said she is; but, why risk it," David thought. "I've seen with my own eyes that she doesn't like it when women hit on Booth and he doesn't like it when men hit on her. That's enough information for me."

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Booth had finished eating and cleaned up all of the trash. Putting everything in the big bags that the sides and water had been put in, Booth tied off the tops of the bags and put them in the back of the truck. He'd throw them away the first chance he got.

Sitting in the back of the truck again, Booth took his phone out of his jacket pocket and called Brennan.

"Brennan."

"Hey, Bones." Booth said. "What're doing?"

Smiling, Brennan said, "Well, currently I'm talking to someone on the phone who can't seem to quit calling me."

Frowning, Booth said, "Don't you want me to call you?"

Hearing a little hurt in Booth's words, Brennan said, "I was just joking with you Booth. Of course I want you to call me. How is your investigation going?"

Smiling, Booth said, "I went and talked to the guy that found the body. I'm back at the site where the body was found and I'm waiting for the squints to finish up so we can transport the body back home. I think I may be back home early this evening. It'll just depend on how long it takes for my crew to finish up."

Smiling, Brennan said, "That's good. At least Bedford county is less than two and half hours away. I'm glad you're not staying overnight. I miss you and so does Christine."

Grinning, Booth said, "I miss you and Christine too. I don't like working cases without you Bones. It doesn't seem right." Glancing at the deputy, Booth said, "One of the deputies up here keeps hitting on me."

Frowning, Brennan said, "Well you are a very handsome man. I can see where the deputy would be interested. I'm assuming the deputy is a woman."

Scowling, Booth said, "Of course the deputy is a woman. What the Hell, Bones."

Laughing, Brennan said, "I was pretty sure you wouldn't brag to me about a male deputy flirting with you."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "I'm not bragging. I'm complaining. I told her I was off of the market; but, she isn't taking the hint. If you were with me then the deputy would know to leave me alone."

Puzzled, Brennan asked, "Why would she know that?"

Smiling, Booth said, "Because one look at you and she'd know she isn't even in the same league as you. You're gorgeous and she'd see she didn't have a snowballs chance in Hell around you."

Blushing, Brennan said, "Thank you Booth."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "It's only the truth Bones. You're all I want. You're all I'll ever want."

BBBBBBBBBBBB

I love it when Booth and Brennan miss each other.
