Broken Bones

Episode 32 "The Widow's Son in the Windshield" Part 2

-Venus POV-

The team and Caroline were there looking at the stuff. Caroline then says, "What else you got?" Hodgins answers, "This alter is made of the same pink syenite we found embedded in Gavin Nichols' skull." Where's the rest of him?" Booth answers, "Probably tossed into dump trucks from overpasses." Temp then says, "All of the bones found here show teeth marks." Caroline adds, "Somebody kidnapped a fiddler and served him for dinner in an old bank vault stuffed with museum pieces?" Angie then says, "I think this is high medieval, Spanish, possibly Calabrian in origin." Hodgin then says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, 12th-century Calabrian? You know what that means? The Order of Alcantara?" "You people have no idea of the reach of the Illuminati, do you? Tell you what else. This old bank is an original vortex point on the triangular grid designed by the infamous architect of D.C., Pierre Charles L'Enfant, not to mention the way that this skeleton's displayed..." Caroline cuts him off, "Okay, okay, we get it. This is the lair of a cannibalistic secret society." "Hey you know what? You know all my answers? Don't ask me the questions."

I then say, "Someone is replacing the silver bones in this sculpture with human bones. There's no way this manubrium and this sternum came from the same person." Caroline then asks, "We got a multiple murder?" Angie then asks, "Is she pleased?" "Hell, you could go your whole career without catching something this juicy. Who had access to the building?" Booth answers, "The building conservancy." "Run those people. Look for priors. Childhood cat skinning, all that." Temp then asks, "I'd like permission to move the contents of this room to the Jeffersonian." I smile as Booth says, "It's a bank vault." I then say, "I already have that handled Temp, I already made much more room in the basement for this." Caroline then says, "I think this may be one of those 'Bring the mountain to Mohammed' situations." Temp and I look at Booth as he groans, knowing that he needs to get what we asked done pronto.

Temp set some other people to help us on the platform as Temp comes up with Cam as she says, "These are the bones we found on the altar." "Can you confirm that any of these are Gavin Nichols'?" The finally came over to us as Clark says, "To be 100% positive, we'd have to check DNA." Booth then comes up as Cam says, "All right, let's get that going." Booth then says, "Bones, I mean, you see what's going on here, right?" "What are you talking about?" "You're getting them all to help you now." Angie then says, "Booth, the vault is filled with priceless artifacts." I add, "Probably material stolen from other victims." Hodgin adds, "It's gonna take months to sift through that evidence." Booth shakes his head, "No, this is enabling. You're enabling somebody with a mental problem." Temp and I look behind Booth to see someone we all miss so much. Temp then says, "Zack..." Booth says, "No, you. You, Bones. You're the one with the mental problem."

I don't listen to Booth as I run past him as they all look at me as I jump onto Zack with a big hug. Angie then shouts, "Oh, it's Zack!" I knock Zack back a bit as he drops his bag and hugs me back. Everyone else starts coming over to great Zack. I finally get off of him and give him a big kiss on the forehead as I say, "We miss you so much Zackaroo!" Angie then asks, "What are you doing here?" Zack then says, "Can I, can I move back into the place above your garage?" Hodgins then says, "Are you kidding? Of course! Come here!" Temp then hugs him, "Welcome home, Zack." Booth then asks Zack, "Did you get wounded or something?" 

I look at Zack all over making sure he didn't have any wounds as he says, "No, they just sent me home." Temp then asks, "When can you start work?" Zack then sees Clark as Booth puts a hand on him, "Nice meeting you, bub." Zack asks, "If you didn't fill my job. Who's that guy?" Clark then goes down, "Nobody." Hodgins then says, "Man, you look like crap." Cam then says, "Iraq's not a vacation." Angie adds, "I think you look very rakish." I then ask, "Are you starving?" "Actually, what I'd like is to get into whatever it was you were talking about before Dr. Brennan's mental problem. We all smile as they bring him up the platform. I see Clark about to pass me as I grab his arm stopping him.
