A/N: Continuation of 1x04 The Man in the Bear and this is how I picture Claire and how she dresses for work at the Jeffersonian~ I know some people had trouble visualizing her so here you go!

Claire sat next to Angela as she video called Brennan, Claire sipped her juice as Angela talked. "The skin in the scat has a sun on it." The man next to Brennan frowned through the screen, "That some sort of haiku?"

"It's a tattoo." Claire answered as she opened another juice box, Angela smiled at Booth and winked at the man. "Hi Booth and mystery man." The Sheriff smiled at her, "Well hello there, your names?"

"I'm Angela Montenegro and this is-"

"None of your business, focus please." Claire interrupted and Angela laughed at her before clearing her throat, "It's a Haida sun motif." Booth nodded, "Good work, very impressive. 18 to 25 year old man, Haida sun tattoo on his arm?"

Angela smirked, "Hey Booth, I have a kind of thing for tattoos. You got any?" Booth raised an eyebrow before walking away with the Sheriff and Brennan sighed, "Angela."

"What?" Angela asked innocently and Claire cringed, "Ew, I don't want to know that." Angela smiled at her before looking back at Brennan, "Sorry sweetie, but what's with that town? You getting any from the hot overnight guy?"

"Ange, we're trying to work." Brennan answered and Angela smirked, "Is that town totally wasted on you sweetie? Because I'd take this as a sign from God to loosen up and you know what the say, 'What happens in Aurora stays in Aurora'." Brennan gave her a look before hanging up, Angela sighed as she had an offended look as she stared at the dark screen.

"Who says that?" Claire asked and Angela shrugged, "Me." Claire gave her a small smile, "I don't think Temper goes by the same logic you go by."

"And you?"

"I don't care for emotional attachments." Claire answered as she finished her second juice box, Angela sighed at this and tilted her head. "Well at least you live a little, Brennan needs to sleep with someone and have fun with some danger in her life."

"I think she's getting enough danger in her life from hunting a cannibal." Claire retorted as she stood up, "And for the record, I wouldn't put sleeping with someone under the 'fun' category." Claire turned and walked away and Angela laughed, "I knew you'd grow to like us, now all you need to do is open up!" Angela called after her and Claire sighed as she went to her office, she smiled a bit while shaking her head.

Opening up isn't apart of who I am.

Claire was on the phone with Brennan as she was in the examination room with Angela, Angela had come to try and convince her to head out to a bar when Brennan called. Claire put the phone on speaker, "You found meat in the rangers house?"

"Yes and I've sent them to be delivered to you, I need to know what it is."

Angela cringed, "Do you think it's human?" Claire shrugged, "Possibly is he's our cannibal."

"It's a funny color though."

Claire hummed, "I'll inspect it once it gets here, did you question the ranger?"

"No, Booth lost him in the woods."

"Woah, I did not lose him. Tell them...I...my flashlight died."

"They don't care."

"And that he's an Indian and he's a park ranger who's very familiar with the territory, tell them that."
