The young doctors.

Maybe we should never freeze?

We were at one of the tables looking over the bone fragments, which comprised of Zack, Angie, Jack and of course me. Sadly though we were having difficulty working out what did it.
"Well, one of the bone fragments has distinctive ridge mark indentations." Zack stated.
"Knife mark." Jack told
"Yes, specifically a carving knife." He told.
"We aren't sure what carving knife though." I stated.
"What about the other ones, the jagged marks?" Angie asked.
"Some kind of machine blade." We both told.
"What like a jigsaw or a chainsaw?" Angie asked before we heard someone clear their throat making us look to see Goodman standing there, looking mad.
I looked towards Zack to see he was frozen making me give Goodman the smile that I always gave when I was nervous, which only usually happened when I was doing something stupid with my ex or my siblings, especially Peter.
"Are you suggesting one of the Chinese diplomats was wielding a chainsaw?" Goodman questioned.
"Ah, good one sir, very droll. Zack knows much more about this then I do but we weren't discussing a literal chainsaw cut but rather the pattern it leaves on the bone. Right? Zack?" Jack asked only for Zack to just stare at our boss with his mouth open making me close it and wrap my arms around his shoulders.
"Endless possibilities." I told not being able to stop giving my nervous smile.
"You know blades move in several distinctive ways." Angie added.
"Several distinctive ways." Jack continued.
"Circular elliptical segmented, chainsaws are designed to cut soft materials at high speed when cutting hard materials like bone they create wave marks by the action of the blade.This pattern is too organized, too linear." Zack quickly talked pointing towards the screen making me smile towards him.
'Fucken hell it's hot when he talks fast. Feel like that'll definitely make him blush if I said that out loud to him.'
"Therefore, no Chinese chainsaw massacre scenario." Jack told.
"Hmmm, yes, fascinating. What has it got to do with the victims of the plane crash?" He questioned us.
"How do you not know sir?" I asked making him raise an eyebrow to me and I went back to my nervous smile.
"We not only have to reassemble each of the plane crash victims but figure out how their remains were scattered." Jack explained.
"Not by being cut up, that's for sure." Zack told.
"For sure in no way were they cut up. No doubt, no doubt!" I told not able to stop with my nervous smile.
"Now we've eliminated blades." Jack stated.
Goodman didn't say anything to us, except roll his eyes and walked away from us, making Jack lean towards Zack and placed a hand on his shoulder, causing me to move my arms so I wasn't in the way.
"Never. Freeze. On. Me. Again." He told Zack.
"I find Dr. Goodman scary." Zack admitted making me pinch his cheek quickly.
"Oh I think you did swell. We'll work on your freezing up."
"Really?"
"If I can date a dude who had sex with a baseball team, which is composed of 26 players in a weekend. We can fix you freezing up." I told before Angie spoke up.
"Well, I'm never trusting any of us again. We're that good at lying, huh?" Angie joked.
"We're going to do much better." Jack admitted.
"What team?" Zack asked.
"Cartwright twins. It was an eventful weekend, and a lot of planning."
"Were you two dating at the time or no?"
"Just before we were dating. Like a last hurrah type of deal. Some of them were quite nice."
"Did you.....?"
"Oh no! Not my type."
"What is your type? You never have told me."
"It don't matter."
"Her ex is so hot."
"He's got a brother." I added
"He single?"
"Yes. He tall as well."
"We talk about this later, Ash I want all the deets."
"Of course." I told grabbing my phone and calling my boy.
After a few rings it picked up and it was my favourite green eyed man.

"Ahoy ahoy, Shotgun."
"Hello Darling. What do I owe the pleasure?"
"You remember my cousin Angela, don't you?"
"How could I forget. She's a lovely painter."
"Well, she said you were hot. Which I can not lie you certainly are. But I informed her on how you have a brother. And she just might be interested in meeting him."
"Really now?!"
"Would I ever lie to you?"
"Never Sugar. Hey Sammy!"
"What?" I quietly heard in the background.
"Ash's cousin wants to meet you."
"I'm ok with meeting her if we are ever in town next."
"Tell Ashley I say hiya!" A girl exclaimed causing me to chuckle.
"Kat says hiya."
"Tell her I say hi back."
"She says hi." He told causing her to cheer and making us chuckle at it.
"She's a character."
"She's cool though."
"I gotta go though, Shotgun."
"So soon baby?"
"Yes soon love. I'm workin' a case."
"Must be lookin' attractive doin' so."
"Dude!"
"Stop it you. Talk later Shotgun."
"Talk later Bunny." He told before I hung up.

"Shotgun?" Zack asked as he raised an eyebrow towards it.
"Inside joke between the two of us."
"You good Ash?" Angie asked.
"Yeah. I'm just now able to process what he called me."
"What he called you?" The boys asked.
"He called you Darling didn't he?" Angie asked making me nod.
"Yeah."
"Darling gets you?" Jack asked.
"With how he says it..... yeah. You would as well if you knew what he looked like. Any who back to work." I told to move on.

We were back in the bone room to discuss the bone fragments with Temperance. While Angie stood at the door to keep an eye and ear out for Goodman.
"The hack marks were caused by a Heidal carving knife." Zack stated.
"Took awhile but we got it." I added.
"The osteological profile suggests evidence of post mortem freezing." Jack stated.
"Max Kane disappeared mid winter. What about the jagged cut marks?" Doc questioned.
"This is the part that makes me queasy." Angie confessed.
"The victim was frozen, dismembered, and fed into a wood chipper." Zack told.
"And spread over a golf course." Jack added.
"While there was a breeze most likely, due to how little we had found." I continued.
"Either talk loudly enough so I can hear all the way or whisper so I can't." Angie told.
"Sorry."
"Maybe if we told Goodman what we know, he'd authorize a change in priorities." Zack stated.
"No honey." I told messing his hair a bit.
"Or he'd suspend us all for defying him." Angela told.
"Angela's right." Temperance told making Zack get hopeful.
"So we're going to drop this and get back to what Dr. Goodman told us to do in the first place?" He asked
"No, we are going to keep doing what we are doing behind Goodman's back." Doc told smiling.
"That's the spirit!" Jack exclaimed.
"Sorry Bone Boy. Think of this as the only time you'd do something illegal." I stated.
"I guess." He told in defeat.
'Poor dude. He is too innocent for this world and I love it.'
