(Smell)

A/N: After the "Change in the Game".

I don't own Bones.

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

His nose assaulted as he stood near the body, Booth waved his hand in front of his face and tried not to throw up, "Oh my God, what the hell is that smell?"

Amused, Hodgins valiantly squatted next to the body and chuckled, "It's a rotting body, what did you expect?"

Glaring at the entomologist, Booth moved around the body so he was up wind, "I know what a rotting body smells like sport. I've been dealing with them longer than you have. I mean the other smell."

Aware that Booth was in a bad mood and therefore his short fuse was shorter than normal, Cam turned to look at her friend, "We're not sure. We think it might be mercaptan. It's possible our victim works for the gas company."

Not sure what mercaptan was, Booth turned to look at his girlfriend, "Mercaptan?"

Her finger firmly inserted in a hole in the thorax of the victim, Brennan explained, "Gas companies add it to natural gas because it's normally odorless. They want users to be aware if there is a gas leak. The smell does remind one of hydrogen sulfide."

Gagging a little, Booth stepped a few paces back, "Forget that shit, it smells like rotten eggs. This is terrible."

Moving her finger in and out of the hole, Brennan informed him, "I'm pretty sure we can rule this as a homicide."

The combination of the smell and the sight of his partner moving her finger through the meaty hole a little too much for him, Booth turned and walked back towards his SUV, "Got it. I'll go interview the person who found the body. You can continue doing whatever you do with disgusting bodies."

Amused, Hodgins shook his head, "He cracks me up sometimes. You'd think he could handle stuff like this better than that."

Quick to defend her boyfriend, Brennan remarked, "Booth had a migraine last evening. He barely slept last night. Unfortunately after he's had a migraine, strong odors make him nauseous."

Embarrassed, Hodgins blushed and turned his attention towards the body, "Sorry."

Oooooooooooooooo

Let me know what you think of my drabble. Thanks.
