"I've worked for the FBI for a long time, and that's a new one for me." Booth shook his head as he walked away from the interrogation room. He looked at the new FBI psychologist, Dr. Ling. "What do you think?"
"Claiming to be possessed by demons is nothing new, Agent Booth. Many people have used it as a defense strategy when charged with murder. Actually making demonic noises, however, is new to me. I'd say our suspect may actually be able to plead insanity."
"Great. Just what I need...another headache to deal with. Would you subpoena his records from his psychiatrist and his personal physician? I need to know what we're dealing with here. Hey, Aubrey!"
"Yeah….hey, Booth. How'd the interrogation go? Is he our guy?"
"Dr. Ling here says maybe so, but we have to check his mental health status. Oh, that's right...you haven't met our new psychologist. Agent James Aubrey….Dr. Sian Ling."
"How do you do, Agent Aubrey?" Dr. Ling extended a hand.
Aubrey gaped a few seconds at the beautiful woman standing in front of him. Finally he realized he hadn't actually spoken. "Nice to meet you, Dr. Ling. Been here long?" He knew immediately he'd said something stupid.
Dr. Ling smiled. "I've been with the FBI a few years at the Dallas office. I've been in the United States for 27 years. I came from Indonesia when I was 5."
"We're going to go to the diner and discuss the case, Aubrey. Do you want to come?" Booth was growing restless.
"Yeah, sure….the case."
"I'll get my coat." Dr. Ling walked to her office.
"Damn, Booth….she is hot! Wow…."
"Aubrey! Be professional! Besides, what about Jessica and Sylvia?"
Aubrey shrugged. "I think I'm over them...Let's go to lunch."
