I stayed late to figure out if it was a weapon that killed her or not, only to fall asleep at my desk. I was awoken by being lightly shaken, making me look to see Zack there and some coffee on the table. I looked around the room more to see Jack and Angela walk in.
"Did you sleep here all night again?" Jack asked
"Yes."
"Sweetie, why didn't you go home?"
"I've spent the night trying to figure out what killed our vic."
"Have you done that?" Zack asked
"I've been able to work out she was hit with something round in the head. Also nothing like bats and pipes were used. Too big. But my prediction is that it wasn't what killed her." I stated as I grabbed the coffee to start chugging.
"Sweetie you worry me a lot." She told making me stop.
"Angie I have been making you worried since I was 12."
"That is true." She told before I began to chug the coffee once again.
"Why don't you go home to get changed and get some sleep." Jack suggested.
"I'm fine in the sleep department. But I do wanna change." I told once I finished my coffee and stood up.
"I'll come with just so I know you don't crash." Angela told
"I'll be fine." I told as I waved them goodbye before heading off to my car.I walked back into the lab and headed to Angela's office to see Zack and Jack waiting there as well.
"What did I miss?" I asked as I walked over to the couch and laid down so my head was in Zacks lap.
"Nothing much. We are just waiting for Dr.Brennan and Agent Booth." He told as he looked down towards me.
"Ah. Agent dick womble. What do we need him for this time?"
"What's with people calling me dick womble?" Seeley asked as he walked in.
"The fact that you've been called that before surprises me that someone else other then Ash was game enough to call you that." Jack told making him roll his eyes to us and looked towards Angela's art.
"This is interesting, Angela." He told
"Guess we won't learn who called him dick womble." I stated before Temperance entered.
"Good morning. Does Booth know how this works?" She asked as we all got up and went around Angela's computer program.
I stood in between Jack and Zack and she began to fill in the details for this, before she began to explain it to Seeley.
"This computer program, which I designed, patent pending, accepts a full array of digital input, processes it and then projects it as a three dimensional holographic image."
"Ok."
"You get that?" Temperance asked him as we all were curious how smart he actually was.
"Yeah, that and the patent pending part."
'Peculiar.'
"Brennan reassembled the skull and applied tissue markers." Angela told as we all looked at the Angelator.
"Her skull was badly damaged, but racial indicators, cheekbone dimensions, nasal arch, occipital measurements suggest African American."
"And.... We have our victim." Angela told as a full upper body photograph appears as a holograph form on the appropriately named Angelator.
"Whoa... have to admit, that's pretty cool." Seeley whispered as he wriggled his fingers through the hologram.
'This dude is so weird.'
Temperance quickly removed Seeleys hand before speaking to Angela.
"Ang, rerun the program substituting Caucasian values."
Angela did what she was told and the imaged slightly altered, and I began to think she looked oddly familiar.
"Does she look familiar to anyone?" Temperance asked
"No..." Seeley told as he shook his head in disbelief.
"She looks oddly familiar but not at the same time. Might need to change something again." I stated making Temperance nod.
"Split the difference, mixed race." Temperance told making her look towards us.
"Lenny Kravitz or Vanessa Williams?"
"I don't know what that means." Temperance told.
"Try one first and if that doesn't work then try the other one." I told making her nod.
She made the change and the image altered again. I looked over towards Seeley to see he was taken aback from it. I quickly looked back towards the image and began to think.
'Why am I thinking senator?'
"Angela, reduce tissue depth over the cheekbones to the jaw line." Temperance told making the image change once more and I instantly realised why she looked familiar.
I noticed Seeley looked towards the skull before moving back to the image.
'Must be a case of his or something.'
"Does anyone recognize her?" Temperance asked
"Not me." Zack told
"Wait, is that who I think it is?" Angela asked
"Senator affair." I told making Zack and Jack look towards me before looking back towards the image.
"The girl who had the affair with the Senator?" Zack asked.
"Her name is Cleo Louise Eller. Only daughter to Ted and Sharon Eller. Last seen approximately 9pm, April 6, 2003 leaving the Cardio Deluxe Gym on K Street, she didn't even make it to her car." Seeley told
'Definitely past case.'
"Pretty good memory." Temperance told him.
"Yeah well, it's my job to find her."
"Well, in that case, congratulations on your success." Jack told making me give him a look.
"This isn't exactly the way I wanted it to end." He told before leaving.
As soon as he was gone I whacked Jack on the chest making him give me a confused look.
"What was that for?!"
"Why would say congratulations on how she was found?!"
"He had to find her and he did."
"Jack! When looking for someone you never want to find them dead. It's never a congratulations when they are found that way, because instead of telling their love ones that they were saved.... your telling them that they can never see them again." I told
"Ash...."
"I'm hungry. Lunch? Lunch." I told before turning around to get my food with them following.
'Feel somewhat bad for him.'We were sitting on the steps eating our lunch as Seeley and Temperance stayed standing. I was sitting near Angela but in enough distance from Jack in case either one of us said anything that made us high five one another.
"Cleo Eller is not just some missing girl." Seeley told
"Yeah, she's a senate intern who was boinking Senator Allen Bethlehem." Jack told
"It's more allegations since nothing was confirmed. But it is highly likely that, they were getting down and dirty." I told as I reached my hand up for Jack to high five it.
"I was secondary in the investigation to the disappearance of that girl and we couldn't confirm that." Seeley told before he began to look at her file again.
"They were fucking." I told in a sing song voice making Jack and Angela chuckle.
"How did you recognise her before she even had her own face?" He asked Temperance in an obvious attempt at ignoring us.
"I recognized the underlying architecture of her features, the rest is just window dressing." She told
"I'm not an expert but, shouldn't he be happier?" Zack asked Temperance.
"Oh no, believe me, I'm happy." He told
"He's not happy because Senator Bethlehem chairs the Senate Committee overseeing the FBI." Jack told
"You seem happy to me." Angela added.
"You guys do realise that he is happy that she's no longer missing and the family can finally get closer, but would also be much more happy if she was found alive."
"I need this kept quiet." He told us before he began to leave.
"Ha! Cover up!" Me and Jack exclaimed towards him.
"Paranoid conspiracy theory." He replied back as he walked away from us down the stairs.
"Da fuck you call me son?!" I exclaimed as Angela was quick to make sure I wasn't going to stand up.
"Is it paranoia that Monica Lewinsky was a KGB trained sex agent mole?" Jack asked before he was out of ear shot.
"I hate him." I told making the boys nod.
"I think he is pretty cute." Angela told
"I know you do sweetie."
"You have to admit you find him cute."
"I can see the appeal of him to people. But I think I don't like agents after my leg incident." I told.
"What do you mean leg incident?" Jack asked
"Wouldn't be a mystery if I told you Jack."
"That reminds me. We are having another movie night this weekend. You in?" He asked
"Fuck yeah I'm in. You down Angie?"
"I'm good."
"Looks like it's just us boys."
"It's always just us three though." Zack stated.
"Still counts for something Zack." I told making us all smile.
