I had a few requests for another Hide and Seek chapter. I hope you like it.
I definitely don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Her phone pinged and unable to contain her curiosity, Brennan removed her latex glove, pressed the message button and read the text: Ice Ice Baby
Shaking her head, Brennan sighed, placed a new latex glove on and returned her attention back to the bones lying on the table before her.
Curious about Brennan's reaction, Angela decided to prod her friend for information. "Who was the message from?"
Her gaze riveted on the pelvic girdle of the victim, Brennan replied, "Booth."
Angela knew she'd just have to ask if she was going to move the conversation along. "What did he say? You didn't seem to be happy with whatever it was."
Her fingers noting a small nick on the edge of the bone, Brennan thought it was possible she had just proven the victim had been murdered. "Ice Ice Baby."
Confused, Angela shook her head and laughed. "What? Honey, what's that supposed to mean?"
Brennan knew her friend was not going to be satisfied unless she knew what was going on and since it was harmless fun, why not tell her? "Booth and I are playing Hide and Go Seek."
Angela let out a rather loud snort and shook her head in disbelief. "You're playing Hide and Seek? I don't understand, how is a message saying Ice Ice Baby playing a children's game?"
Moving the bone under the magnifier, Brennan confirmed there was a small slice in the bone. "Whoever is 'it' receives clues about the whereabouts of the person they are seeking. If I put the clues together in a timely fashion I should be able to find Booth."
Her mind now racing with possibilities, Angela was about to speak when Brennan's phone pinged. Excited, Angela hurried to where the phone lay. "Let me look. I promise I'll just look at the current message."
Amused with her friend's excitement, Brennan nodded her head. "Of course."
Checking the message, Angela frowned and read the message out loud: Round and round and round we go. Where we stop only we'll know. "His clues are terrible, Brennan. Do you ever win this game?"
Her attention back on the bone in her hand, Brennan assured her friend. "Of course, both of us are very good at this game and most of the time the hider loses."
The phone back on the small table, Angela asked her friend, "What do you guys play for? What's the prize when you win?"
A rather contented smile on her lips, Brennan stated, "Whatever we want. We get to choose the prize once we find the person hiding. That's part of the game. The hider has no idea what he or she will have to do if they are found. You would think that would be an incentive not to be caught, but for some reason we are always found."
Thoughts of sexy times filling her head, Angela smirked. "Yeah, I can't imagine why the hider would fail to make it hard to find them."
Another ping and Angela turned back to the phone. "I'll get it . . . I'll never let you fall . . . God, Brennan these clues are just terrible."
With a sparkle in her eyes, Brennan chuckled. "Booth will be at the ice rink this evening."
Oooooooooooooooooo
With her skates on, Brennan stepped out onto the ice rink and waited for Booth to make a turn on the ice and notice her. Waving at him, she waited patiently for him to come to her.
Hurrying his pace, Booth skated quickly over to where Brennan was standing and as he drew near, slowed and then stopped. "I made it too easy for you."
Her arm now hooked around his arm, Brennan laughed. "Yes you did and for that you will pay."
Patting her mittened hand, Booth smiled. "You know me, I'm a pretty good loser. What do you want this time?"
Allowing him to pull her along as they skated, Brennan thought it over and smiled. "I want to wear your Hockey shirt when I go to bed tonight."
His gaze raking her body, Booth smiled at the thought of her in his jersey. "I'm pretty sure that can be arranged, but . . . I'm not sure how long you'll get to wear it."
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Any good?
A/N: the clues were from their case "The Fire in the Ice".
