(Side note. It's gotten to the point where I'm making sure I have enough chapters in this story to leave room for an announcement for the second book when the time comes for that. That I have a chapter list of the numbers and how many I have left. Right now for this chapter, I have 56 left till I reach 200. Now onto the chapter!)
I was sitting next to Angie in her lab while Temperance was on the other side of her, we were were looking at a the screens to see an overhead picture of the golf course with three red dots on it.
"Satellite imagery of the golf course. These three dots show where the bone fragments were found." Angie stated.
"Can you show me the results of the wood chipper test?" Doc asked making me quickly type it in for her. "You work quick Ashley."
"I have a PhD in engineering. I'm fantastic with technology even though I am not a fan." I stated as a V shape appeared on the screen.
"The V shape indicates the maximum distance from the point of origin a bone fragment could have traveled given similar wind speeds and ambient temperatures." Angie explained.
"Okay and remove the plane crash it's irrelevant to this." Doc told making me do so.
"The question is, in order to use the guy's pig grinding experiment, where do we place the wood chipper?" Angie questioned.
"I bet the murderer aimed the wood chipper over the stream."
"So the evidence would wash away..." she began only to be interrupted by Temperance as she pointed to a clear section of the map.
"What's that?"
"That is a small access road for maintenance vehicles." We both explained.
"Try putting the wood chipper there." She told.
"Okie dokie."
"What's your type Ashley?"
"Why do you ask Temperance?"
"You don't really talk about relationships. So I'm just curious.... And Angela told me you were being flirted with earlier."
"Just some people who were brave enough to do so, and took the opportunity that Jack and Zack weren't around to do so. And one thing I look for in people is smarts. My ex Shotgun, he made a home made emf reader out of an old busted up Walkman. It was actually fun making it together. What can I say, I like smart people." I told before entering the data we needed making Angie looked pleased.
"Ooooo, sweet smell of success..." she told before Doc interrupted again.
"We should see if we can find anymore bone fragments here and here." She stated before Goodman spoke from behind us.
"Are we any closer to identifying our mystery woman?" He asked making Angie quickly clear the previous information off the screen and I gave a wave since I knew he already knew.
"Um, I'm not ...I'm not certain." Temperance told as she tried to hide how startled she was.
"Brennan is still waiting for an update." Angie stated.
As on que Jack entered with a file with information obviously.
"I saw you come in, Sir and I have an update. I have a list of possible matches on our Geisha in the sky." He told.
"She is Caucasian, our mystery woman is definitely Caucasian." Temperance told.
"We sent a list to the FBI and they're checking it out." He added handing the file to Goodman.
"Ah, well in that case you might want to turn your attention back to the bone fragments." He told.
"Oh yeah right. He found out cause he saw the wood chipper experiment." I told looking towards Angie and Doc. "I say blame Jack."
"Yeah cause you and Zack ran away when Goodman showed up."
"He gave me a warning, and then made a compelling argument." I stated.
"What argument?" The three asked.
"I will not say. Because I don't want it getting out how he got to me." I stated.
'Weird team we are sometimes.'(Zack p.o.v)
I was standing in the Medico legal lab with Hodgins, Dr. Brennan and Ash, going over the new found bones.
"Amazingly we found a finger with a nail still attached and underneath that nail..." Hodgins began before I cut in.
"Polyurethane, the tough stuff. The victim must have been scraping at something before he died. I... I can't identify this bone anomaly. It's full of osteoids, thick, maybe part of the mandible?"
"Human, something odd with the cell structure." She told.
"Sadly though, a wood chipper wouldn't do that damage at the cellular level." Ash stated.
"It's a non-malignant bone tumor. I need the most recent bone scans from Max Kane's medical records." Dr. Brennan told when Hodgins phone began to ring making him pick it up.
"Hodgins." He told before turning his focus to Dr. Brennan. "It's Booth. The locals just arrested Jesse Kane for attacking Karen Anderson." He told making her rush out.
"Imma go get some pastry type of thing." Ash told before walking out as well, and I watched her leave.
"Dude. Could you be any more obvious that you have a crush on her?"
"I've been trying to work out how to ask her out, but I don't know how."
"Really?"
"Yes. My horoscope that she read suggested it."
"I am so confused. But never mind that. What about Shaun?"
"I forgot about him." I admitted.
"I mean you never know. She might say yes. Just be yourself dude. She loves you the way you are, and if need be. Just use you hair as a distraction, she loves playing it." He told before tapping my back and leaving me by myself.
'This is more difficult then I thought it would.'
