-Venus POV-
We are back at the lab in Cams workspace as She explains to us, "This is where the hamate bone was taken." Temp is walking around the table describing the victim to her recordings, "Victim is female, mid-teens." Cam adds, "Extensive contusions around the ankles." I nod looking at the X-rays, "Yes, and some bone damage, too. Hip displacement, elongation of the spine. He hung her upside down." Cam then says, "I agree-- and while she was still alive, too. Is that part of Epps-s M.O.?" "No." "So his accomplice threw in some flair of his own." Temp then says, "Nine years ago, Epps kills someone and buries her. He goes to jail seven years ago. Last week, his accomplice kills another girl and swapped wrist bones with the girl Epps buried nine years ago."
I then ask, "How do they communicate?" "Inmates are allowed phone calls, visitors, letters, but those are all monitored." I then add, "He has a wife." Cam found something, "Look at this. It's a burn-- cigarette probably. And there's this. It was jammed in her shoe." Temp then ask, "She wasn't wearing it?" Angie then comes in, "The, uh, mine victim's dental work identifies her as Sarah Koskoff, Bethesda, Maryland-- disappeared three weeks ago. 16 years old." Temp looks at the file and repeats her name, "She fits Epps' victim profile perfectly.
I was in Temps office as Booth came back from Caroline Epps hair dressing salon as he says, "Sarah Koskoff was hung upside down before she was killed. That suggests a torture room. I was hoping... it was in the basement of the beauty salon, but, uh, my agents, they didn't find anything. What's that?" I looked at what Temp was holding as she gives it to him. Temp says, "Religious medal. Sarah had in her possession."
I add, "It's St. Agnes, Patron Saint of Young Women." Booth nod adding, "Especially those who remain pure." Temp looks at us, "How do you both know all that?" "We're Catholic, Bones." "SAHS." "Yeah, St. Agnes High School..." I looked at Booth, "But didn't Sarah Koskoff went to a public school." Booth nods, "She did... Oh, God." Temp looks at us, "What? What does it mean?" Booth looks at us, "It means we have to go talk to a nun." I then question, "We?" "Yes, I am taking you with me. I don't want to be alone with a nun." I sigh, "Okay."
I am in Booth's office with Sister Dunne as she says, "We have no student at St. Agnes named Sarah Koskoff." I then ask, "Is it possible that she could be a friend of one of your students?" "As soon you called me last night, we implemented a telephone tree, asking precisely that question- no response." I nod as Booth asks, "Do the names Howard Epps, Caroline Epps, Caroline Mapother mean anything to you?" "May I have the keyboard?" "Yes, Sister, yeah, of course, here." Booth gives her the keboard and turns the computer towards her as I look away. I see Booth still looking as I cough a bit getting his attention and gave him a look saying to look away. "Oh, yeah. I'll-I'll be right over here. We're Catholic. I-I go to Mass every Sunday. Almost every Sunday. I'm very trustworthy."
She finishes typing out their names, "Nobody by any of those names. I feel that I have been very patient in regard to not asking what this is about." I then say, "It's about a murder victim. A young girl was found with a religious medal." Booth gives the sister the neckless as she looks at it she looks at us again, "Helen Majors." Booth asks, "Helen Majors? Who is that?" "This golden medal is given to the Holy Spirit Award winner every year. I presented this medal to Helen Majors myself." I then ask, "May we please see Helen Majors? Talk to her?" "Helen left school three days ago. No one has seen her since." I sigh, "Thank you very much sister for you help. It really means a lot to us." Booth nods, "Yes, uh, thank you." "I do hope you find her. I will make sure to give a prayer for her and both of your safety." We thank her as she says, "Well, then I must go and inform the other nun's at the school." Booth and I stand up as he says, "Thank you. Let me escort you out." I watch Booth nervously escorting her out as I look at the neckless and sigh.
We are in the car as we picked up Temp and she looks at a picture of Helen and the sister. "Three days ago, Helen had that medal. Yesterday, we found it with Sarah Koskoff's dead body. It's possible Helen is still alive." Booth then says, "We have Caroline Epps under surveillance." We all sigh as Booth gets a call and answers it. Temp then says, "I hate this. I don't want to find that girl's remains in some mine, Booth." "Reiner Hatin? Address. 7408 Haskell Street, Cleveland Park." He hangs up and goes to the radio, "22-705 to Control, I'm en route to a possible HRT incident at 7408 Haskell Street; requesting backup." We then hear them answer back, "Affirmative, 22-705- 7408 Haskell." Temp then asks, "What?" "Epps's prison letter logs show, in the last year, he wrote six letters to a man by the name of Reiner Hatin at that address. Caroline Epps might not be Epps's accomplice after all." I see Temp trying to find something as I ask, "What are you looking for sis?" "Where's the siren on this thing?" Booth then says, "Don't touch." He then turns on the siren as I chuckle a bit.
We have arrived at the location as we get down Booth says, "Okay, Bones, Blueberry, I'm going in, you're gonna wait outside." "Booth... No, I don't want to hear it, all right?" Temp tries again, "It's..." "When backup arrives, tell them there's a federal agent inside." "But the..." "Which one is it?" "Uh... Ranger, its behind you." Temp and I point at a vacant lot as he says, "Great, a vacant lot." Temp then says, "I tried to tell you." "She did Ranger."
We went back to the prison to talk to Epps again. The first thing he says was, "Did you hear? I'm gonna be a father. The judge granted our petition for artificial insemination." He then looks at me, "When I make my donation to the baby bank, I'm gonna be thinking about you." I tried not to show it, but I had a slight blush because of how embarrassing that sounded. Temp moved a bit closer to me as Booth says, "Who is Reiner Hatin?" "Ah, Reiner." He starts speaking German, "Alter Freund nit ahnlichem Geschmack." "The letters were addressed to a vacant lot." "I must have written the address down wrong. I'm slight dyslexic, you know." "Hey, come here. You know, I really enjoy playing your game." Booth drags his chains from underneath making Epps hit the table, "But now, you know what? There is a girl out there hanging upside down with duct tape over her mouth."
I then say, "Ranger, let him go... Let him go Ranger." Booth lets Epps go as he stands up to calm down a bit." Temp and I are sitting there as she tells Epps, "For all your faults, Mr. Epps, you were never interested in letting your victims suffer." I added, "Yes, you didn't torture them. You're not that kind of man." Temp continues, "She's an innocent child." "She is a young woman. And there's no such thing as an innocent woman. Look within yourself." He then looks back at me, "You know I'm right. You know, I'm just guessing here, you understand, but I think you'll find that Helen Majors has less than 24 hours to live."
The sound of the door rings letting us know that it was time to go as he says, "Better get going." Temp gets up first and starts walking away. I then get up and smile at him. He looked at me as if were trying to figure something out again just like last time as I say, "Bye Howie." I turn around and as I was about to walk, I pick the chains up with my foot and pulled it making him hit the table again hard. I then finally walked away, while saying, "Sorry Howie. It seems my foot got tangled with your chain." Epps starts laughing as we all leave.
We are back in the lab and Temp and I are in Angie's workspace as she says, "What are you asking me for?" Temp then says, "You said you've dealt with manipulative men before." "Sweetie, this is a psycho killer, not some loser who wants you to cosign a loan for his Jet Ski." "Epps is pushing us around Ange. Especially Ven. He's in control; I hate that." "You know... Epps is acting kind of like a boyfriend." Temp and I chuckle a bit as I say, "I don't think I'm following Angie." "Well, you obviously fascinate him Ven. He can't have you and he can't kill you, so he wants to make you hate yourself." I chuckle, "I see now." Temp then says, "God, Ange, what kind of boyfriends have you had?" "Let's keep the focus on Ven and Epps, okay?" "Okay." "Epps knows that you'll never forgive yourself if you both don't find Helen Majors before she's murdered."
I sigh and nod, "Yes your right about that. Not only is Helen being tortured, but... her family must be in agony." "You see?" "This is what he's doing. He's putting pictures in your mind. He's messing with your objectivity." "So, what's the solution to keep my supposed 'boyfriend' out of my mind?" "You have to step back. Okay? Let the rest of us deal with the families. That also includes you Brennan. You both just find Helen. That'll keep Epps from getting a Jet Ski out of you." We all smile at each other and enjoy the moment.
I am now up the platform with Temp working on the computer as Booth comes over to us, "Bones, Blueberry, Caroline Epps- not an accomplice. She was at work when Helen Majors was kidnapped." I then repeat what Epps told us earlier, "Alter Freund mit ahnlichem Geschmack." "Yeah, whatever." "Ranger, that means 'old friend with similar tastes" in German." "I don't know, Epps telling us the name of his accomplice? That's too easy." Temp then says, "Well, if it's too easy then why can't we find him?" "You know what? He talked about impregnating Caroline." Temp scoffs as I chuckle at her, "Ugh! What is with Caroline Epps? I mean, why have a child with a monster like him? What's she gonna tell the child when it grows up? 'Hi, your daddy's a monster." "W-Wait, look, time out. You got to detach from this, all right?" I nod, "We let Epps get under our skin--" Booth finishes it, "It's exactly what he wants." Temp nods, "Zack was right. Epps is trying to break us. Not only did we save his life, but he is still killing."
I nod as Hodgin comes over to us, "I found traces of ethylene oxide and high levels of an antibacterial agent on Sarah's ankles. Also, polymer residue found in latex glove liners used by people who handle toxic substances." I give examples, "Airport screeners, cops..." Booth then says, "Wait... Prison guards?" Zack then comes over to us, "Lauren Hathaway was a nationally ranked junior golfer in 1997." We then hear Booth on the phone, "Yeah, it's Booth. I need to know if Howard Epps ever had a prison guard by the name of Reiner Hatin." Zack continues, "She disappeared on May 9th, after leaving the Southampton Country Club in Raleign, North Carolina."
Booth then says, "Check and see if any guard changed his name." I then add for Booth, "Reiner' is German for 'pure.' Epps has a thing about that." Booth nods, "Translate the name and see if that comes back in any form, then you get back to me. That's the victim from the park?" Zack then looks at Temp, "Her father is in your office." We all look at him, "What?" Booth adds, "Why didn't you say that?" "Uh, uh, you were on the phone." Temp looks at us, "Booth, Ven. I can't do this one. Maybe Angela can help." I look at Booth and give him a small nod. "All right, we'll take care of it."
I am now with Angie, Booth and Mr. Hathaway in her workspace as he says, "My wife died five years after Lauren disappeared. I think, because she just gave up hope. Part of me is glad she's not here today for this. I nod, "We're sorry for your loss, Mr. Hathaway." Angie adds, "For both your losses." Booth then says, "When Lauren disappeared, the police originally suspected her golf coach. Yes, he'd had an affair with one of his students the year before. Ironically, his alibi was that he was with another student." "Does the name Reiner Hatin mean anything to you?" "No."
Angie then shows him an image of Epps. "Do you recognize this man?" "No. I'm not helping, am I?" I shake my head, "That photograph is current. Angela will show you some drawings that show what he might have looked like ten years ago." Angie hands him the drawings as he looks threw them. "Hmm... Yes, that one. He was a-a greenskeeper at the club. He helped us load the car one day. I remember because he told Lauren she looked just like his mother when she was young. It was an odd thing to say. I told the police about it when she disappeared. Why didn't they arrest him?" Angie, Booth and I looked at each other.
-No One POV-
Booth is walking with Cam as he says, "Caroline Epps, she knows something. She just won't talk to me." "Why?" "I'm a man, last time I checked." "But she'll talk to a woman?" "That's my thinking." "Fine, I'll do it." "Oh, no, you can't sarcasm it out of her. You have to connect. You don't want to send Brennan?" "No. Angela." "Angela is an artist, an expert in 3-D reconstruction." "Well, unlike you and Bones, Angela is, uh..." "What?" "She's better with the living than she is the dead." Then how about Venus? She looks good enough to do it and could also connect with her?" "No. She shows that she is doing okay, but if we push her a bit more into this... she will break and that's not something I want. And I don't think Mrs. Epps would want to see a woman who her husband loves to fantasy about." "Mm... I see... Fine, I'll go tell her what she's just volunteered for." "Thank you."
Angela and Caroline are at the Royal Dinner as they entered. Angela then says, "Thanks for coming." "I've told you people everything I know. I-I don't see the point of this." "I know this is disturbing. I find it very upsetting, and I'm... not married to the man who did it." "I love Howard, Ms. Montenegro." "I believe you." "No one's ever said that to me." "I think you'd have to love him very much to be willing to overlook what he's done." "Done in the past." "The thing is... we're not so sure that it was in the past. For Howard, it's obvious what he likes. Blonde girls." "Not, me you mean." "Men can't hide what they like. For Howard, it's this." "Men can change what they look at." "Does Howard ever just look at you? So you just feel his eyes adoring you?"
Caroline thinks about and shakes her head in disappointment. "He... he asks for magazines, DVDs. He's... he's very specific." "He likes blond girls." "Always the blond girls... But... but... he does sometimes ask me to find a picture or photograph of a girl named Venus Brennan. She has brown hair... or... or... m-maybe if I... if I dyed my hair..." Angela gives her a sad look saying that it wouldn't matter, "I'm sorry, I have to ask you something. Have you ever delivered any messages for Howard?" "Don't you miss them?" "I'm sorry?" "I wrote the message, 'Don't you miss them?' on a... on a.. on a piece of paper and slipped it into a mailbox." "Whose mailbox?" "A man named Henry Gerber, who Howard know from prison. Howard calls Henry the Mad German." "When did you deliver the message?" "Five days ago." "Thank you." Angela was about to leave as Caroline stops her, "Can-can... Will you sit with me just a moment longer?" "I'm... I have to make a phone call. You understand? But after that, I'll sit with you... as long as you like." Caroline nods as she waits for Angela to make a call.
-Venus POV-
Temp, Booth and I are at Henry Gerber's home as Booth, and I take out our guns. We get to the door as I give a nod to Booth and he kicks down the door."FBI. Hands in the air." Gerber puts his hand in the air and we point our weapons at him as I stand in front of Temp as Booth continues saying, "That's it. Now move over there slowly. Ah! Keep your hands where I can see them." "I can't do both." I look down seeing that he was in a wheel chair as I lower my gun and Temp says, "Booth." Booth goes around, "Easy." He also sees that he was in a wheel chair as he asks, "Where's Henry Gerber?" "I'm Henry Gerber."
We are back at the lab on the platform with the team as Temp says, "There is no way a man in a wheelchair could have killed Sarah Koskoff or swapped hamate bones with Lauren Hathaway." I nod as I lean on Zacks chair as Booth says, "All right, Epps got us again, huh? Gerber is paralyzed from the waist down because Epps knifed him just before he was paroled." Hodgins then says, "So, what, his message 'Don't you miss them?' meant what, his legs?" Zack then says, "Epps is good. Not, morally, of course, but it's a classic feint and parry misdirect. Delivered via his wife."
I pat Zacks head as Booth says, "He gets off on screwing with people's lives." Temp asks, "Where are we on Reiner Hatin?" Booth sighs, "Nowhere." Zack cuts in, "I had some thoughts. Perhaps the point isn't that German is a different language, but that it's actually a different language." I chuckle as Booth says, "Great. Thanks, Zack, for being so helpful." I say, "Don't listen to him Zack, go on." "More broadly speaking, I mean, like an anagram or an inner or secret language." I let him turn to the computer as he explains, "These are phrases I've found in English. Perhaps in German..." Temp then cuts in, "No, the whole German thing was a ruse. If it's anywhere, it's here."
Hodgins then starts reading the screen, "Rant herin I. You know, like inner schizophrenic voices." Zack then says, "Are inner hit' could mean... I don't really do the poetry thing." I chuckle and ruffle Zacks head, "It's all right Zack that's actually, "Neither rain' no, neither..." Booth comes over and finishes my sentence. "Neither rain nor sleet... nor dead of night..." I add, "The postal service motto." Hodgins add, "Hey the guy's all about sending messages." Booth says, "Mail to an empty lot, messages dropped in slots." I nod adding, "Postal workers wear poylgenex gloves. Who received the letters Epps sent to that empty lot?" Temp and Booth look at me as I say, "Well, lets make a call then."
We go over to Angie's workspace as a man over the phone says, "Letters with an invalid address and no return address go to the dead letter office." Temp then asks, "Who has access?" "The sorting staff and the mail carrier for that route." Booth then adds, "Stream us that route which includes 7408 Haskell Street, Cleveland Park, right?" "Yes, but there is no 7408 Haskell Street." Angie types the information in as something pops up, "Got it." She shows us the map and the route the suspect takes as I say, "There-- that's Caroline Epps's beauty salon." Temp adds, "It's St. Agnes High School." Angie then says, "The killer picked his victims from a postal route."
Booth then asks the operator, "Tell us the name of the mail carrier." "I can do better than that. All I ask is that when this goes to the press, nobody uses the word 'disgruntled". He sends us a picture and information of the carrier as we recognized who it was. I then say, "Ranger..." "Yeah, I got it." Angie then asks, "What?" I look at her, "That's the guy who found the first body. But now I guess he wanted us to find it." Booth straightens up, "Let's go." Temp and I follow him as I give my thanks to the operator guy and Angie.
We made it to Lappin's home and Booth and I take out our guns as I follow behind him with Temp behind me. Booth breaks down the door and we enter to be meet with the dog again. He starts barking as Booth says, "Whoa..." Temp then says, "Oh, great, him again. I'll need a pine cone... Ven do you have a bone on you?" "No... I didn't think about needing one right now." Booth then steps up to the dog, "Listen, dog, I will shoot you in the head if you don't cut it out right now!" The dog begins to whimper and sit as I say, "Awww, Ranger you don't need to say it like that." I go up to the dog as I start petting it as it turns to his belly and I start rubbing it. "Your actually a good dog aren't you... Yes you are... Yes you are..." Temp and Booth looked at each other a bit weirded out with me as I stand up. "All right be a good boy and sleep on your bed, okay?" We watch as the dog listens and goes to his bed and lays down.
We then search the place and finally enter a room where it is filled with pictures of the missing girls. Booth then says, "God. I hate the serial killer wall of death." I go up to a picture, "This is Sarah Koskoff. Helen Majors." Temp then says, "They were so young, so innocent." I pick up another picture, "Lauren Hathaway." Temp picks up another stack of photos seeing something off about them, "These seem to be different." We look over to her as Booth asks, "Different? What do you mean different?" "These photos show a girl with brown hair... but she has her back towards the camera." "Look at the other pictures then, to see if we could see this girl face sis." Temp goes to the next photo that shocked all three of us as I say, "That's me... Why does he want pictures of me?" Booth then adds, "Maybe Epps talks about you in his letters so he wanted to check you out?" Temp then says, "I don't know, but I don't like this at all." I nod, "It's okay, as long as we catch him, he won't be doing that anymore even it is creepy."
We are in the car as Temp says, "Southampton County Club-- That's where Epps and his accomplice met. Lappin maintained the golf carts." Booth then says, "He's winning, Bones, all right? We're this close to saving Helen Majors' life. Running out of time." Temp dials Hodgins as He answers, "Yeah?" "Hodgins, it's me. Is there anything you can tell us about where Srah Koskoff was held before her body was dumped in the gypsum mine?" "The only substance I can't explain is ethylene oxide." "What about the ethylene oxide plus the antibacterial agents?" I then say, "Doesn't really help Temp, it could be a lot of things." "She is right. I'll set up statistical model, give you four or five scenarios." Booth then says, "There is no time. A girl's life is at stake here. Just give me your best guess, right now." I cut in, "He can't just guess Ranger, he has a process." "Thank you, someone understands. What if I guess and the girl dies? No. No way."
Booth then says, "All right, just simmer down, Hodgins." I text Angie and tell her if she could help Hodgin's calm down and help him through the process. Booth continues speaking, "We're all just trying to do our best in this situation right now." I then hear Angie get there, "Jack... Hey. Pretend it's me asking, okay? Look, we're just exchanging theories here at work, like always. Two substances. Right? Put them in the same place at the same time. Either they mean something, or they don't." Booth then asks, "Hodgins, you there, buddy?" "Yeah, just give me a second, please!" "We don't have a second!" "You're not helping Ranger." Hodgin then says, "Okay, all right, uh... antibacterial agents, and, uh, he-he's a postal worker." 'Okay. What else, Jack?" I then thought of something, "Hodgins! Anthrax." "Anthrax? Anthrax! Right! After the anthrax attacks in 2001, the post office shut down several sorting centers." Booth nods, "Okay. All right."
I then add, "They used ethylene oxide and this antibacterial agent." Hodgin adds, "That's how they cleaned them. Not all of them reopened." Temp then says, "So it's possible Sarah was kept at an abandoned sorting center?" Hodgin and I say at the same time, "Yes." Booth then says to Hodgins and I, "I knew you both would come through for me. Good work." I then speak, "Thank you Hodgin, I got the rest from here." "All right."
I found the location of the abandoned building and directed Booth to the location. We made it there as we had our guns out and Temp behind us with a flashlight. We make our way as I cover Booth and Temp from the back and Booth at the front. He then sighs, "All right." He takes out a gun and hands it to Temp. "Here." "I didn't even have to ask." "Yeah, well, just be careful, all right? Don't shoot me, don't shoot Blueberry, don't shoot Helen Majors. Otherwise..." We then hear chains clanking in the distance. Booth gave me a signal to where he heard it and I gave him a nod as we quietly made our way to the noise.
We then see Helen being hanged upside down calling for help, "Please." I pull Temp and Booth and show them another way to get there. We go around and rush over to her as Booth says, "Helen..." "Please... please help me." Booth grabs her as Temp starts bringing the chains down, "All right, all right, all right, easy. I got you. Where is he?" "He just left." "He just left?" "I don't know where he went." "Bones, Blueberry..." I looked at him, "Got it Ranger. Go get him, Temp and I will stay with her." He nods and leaves. A minute later I get up as Temp asks, "What are you doing?" "I am going to find Ranger?" "You can't go!." "It's okay Temp... I will be okay... Just take care of yourself and Helen. Protect her okay?" "Okay... Be careful." I nod as we gave each other a hug as I go and try to find Booth.
I walked quietly looking around as I hear grunting and a pipe being hit onto the ground. I quickly made my way over to the noise. I then see Lappin lifting up the pipe in the air about to strike down on Booth and I quickly aim and shoot him at the heart as he drops the pipe and slowly turns towards me and drops to the ground. I have a sad look as I had killed another person, which will bring me another person to haunt me at night. Booth sits up asking, "Is he dead?" Yeah... He's dead..." I put my gun away and rush over to Booth and help him up, "Are you okay Ranger?" "Yeah... I will be okay... Are you okay?" "I killed another person Ranger... That's another person to haunt me..." "Yeah... I know... But you had to... He was going to kill me or Helen and much more, but you stopped him." "Yeah, but still... I don't like killing people..." "Yeah... We'll get through this... okay?" "Yeah... okay... Let's go get Temp and Helen." Yeah, lets go."
We had saved Helen and stopped the killings. We entered the prison as I collected myself and put a smile on my face and hugged Temp as we entered the room with Epps inside. He sees us walk in as he says, "Well done. Really." Booth then says, "Game's over, Howie." "Yes. I won." Temp then says, "Only if you wanted your accomplice dead." Temp and I sit down as he asks, "Lappin's dead?" Booth says, "Shot resisting arrest." "Who shot him?" He looks at Booth then Temp, then finally me and he stare at me for a second then says, "It was you, wasn't it?" "What was me Howie?" "You shot him? Did he take long to die? Did he suffer? This is better than I hoped. I thought it would be you." He looks at Booth then back to me, "How did it feel? Dirty, yes? But there's also a rush. Pleasure. Part of you liked it." I kept my smile as my eyes went dull a bit letting him see something new about me as I say, "This whole game was to have us kill someone? Howie, you should know that this isn't my type of game?" "This isn't your first time killing someone is it?" I could see Epps getting more excited as he says, "This is amazing... Your always surprise me with something new. That's what make you so intriguing, your young, beautiful... have this elegance, but you're so mysterious. What else are you hiding? I want to know all your deepest secrets that you keep from everyone."
Booth then cuts in, "We're done with you. You're never gonna see us again. Come on you two." Temp stands up first as Epps and I still stare at each other as he says, "I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that, Agent Booth." I stand up and take something out of my pocket, "You know Howie... it's rude to send someone to take pictures of me." I drop the pictures of me that Lappin took of me as I finish saying, "If you wanted some pictures, you should've asked?" I then walk away with Temp and Booth as Epps looks at the pictures and smiles.
We are in the lab as Temp and I are in the second floor on the couch as Temp has alcohol in her hand as I lay my head on her shoulder. Booth comes over to us, "Vodka? You know, Bones, I'm not sure you grasp the basic theory on how to get drunk." "Hey." "What you need to do is order a shot of hard liquor from a bartender named Shakey, tell him to leave the bottle on the bar." "I know... But I am worried about Ven." "How you doing Blueberry?" "I'm getting there... Just processing today's event..." Temp then says, "You did the right thing Ven. He killed Sarah and he was about to kill Helen." "I know Temp, but when you kill someone another human being, you know, there's a cost." Booth nods, "Yeah, there's a steep cost. I know. I've done it too." Temp grabs my hand and squeezes it, "You did the right thing Ven." I nod as Booth then smiles, "I got something for the both of you." We look at him questionably as he takes out a small toy pig. And puts it in front of Temps face, "Hmm? Meet... Jasper." Temp and I smile as she takes jasper out of his hands. He then grabs another thing from his bag and takes it out. I show me a stuff bullmastiff dog as I sit up. "It's a bullmastiff..." "Yup."
I take it from Booths hands as Temp asks, "What's it's name?" I looked at them with a smile, "I will call him... Jupiter." Booth chuckles, "That's a good name." Temp nods, "I like that name."
