The Bones in the Serial Grave (A Bones/Criminal Minds Story)

Chapter 5: The Agents and the Squints

Author Note: The length is getting better, so is the character's voices. I haven't really watch Bones in a loooooong time so I've rewatched a few episodes to get a feel for how the characters talk. Let me know if there are any glaring issues with their talking or if anyone seems really OOC. Also this a little boring but it gets exciting soon once they start doing stuff.

“I don’t see why they have to set up at the Jeffersonian?” Brennan asked from the passenger seat. Booth sighed and ignored her. Ever since they had left the crime scene Brennan had been asking Booth questions about the BAU, never mind the two agents crammed in the backseat with Zack. Morgan had elected to ride with Hotch and JJ to the police station.

“The bodies are at the Jeffersonian,  the police department is tight on space, and Hotch doesn’t want us at the FBI agents because he thinks they will try to get in on the case,” Reid said from the backseat. He was wedged between Prentiss and Zack, a messenger bag on his lap. Booth hardly spared a glance at the two agents in the rearview mirror. He was still hoping to figure out if the kid was smarter than Bones. The kid looked too young to be an FBI agent; Booth assumed that’s why Hotch had introduced him as Doctor instead of agent. The other agent, Prentiss, had the look of an FBI agent. Booth was hoping that the BAU agents would forget Bones judo flipping their boss.

“Just worry about your bones,” Booth said when Brennan opened her mouth. His phone started ringing again. Booth pulled it out of his pocket and frowned at the caller id.

“I assume from that look that it is Rebecca calling,” Brennan said.

“Who’s Rebecca?” Reid asked.

“She’s Booth’s ex-girlfriend,” Zack said.

“Not really helpful to the case Zack,” Booth said. He ignored the phone call.

“Why does she want Parker this weekend?” Brennan asked.

“That’s their kid,” Zack informed the two agents in the backseat.

“Zack!” Booth snapped. “She wants to take him on some stupid field trip. Which I already told her I could take him on. But, moving on from Parker.”

“How are things going with the lawyer Teresa?” She asked. Booth, surprised by the question, nearly turned into oncoming traffic.  

“What?” Booth asked. “Everything’s fine.”

“Oh everything’s fine?” She asked with a slight grin.

“Really Bones?”

“What? It’s nothing to be ashamed of, Booth. Humans act on a hierarchy of needs, and sex is very highly ranked. It’s an anthropological inevitability.”

“Thank you, Bones. I really appreciate you boiling me down to your anthropological inevitabilities.”

“Sure.”

“That was sarcasm, Bones,” Booth said. They pulled up outside the Jeffersonian. “Look we’re here. Everyone get out.”

The bodies were wheeled into the Jeffersonian, taken out of the body bags, and set up on the tables. The members of the Jeffersonian were preparing to examine them when the rest of the BAU team arrived.

“Oh look out big brother alert,” Hodgins said. He and Angela were standing on the platform in the middle of the lab. Hotch, JJ, and Morgan were headed towards one of the small offices that Cam had cleared out for their use. Reid and Prentiss were already going over the information they had obtained already.
