Angela walks into my mom's office with her coat in her hand and Mom was at her computer.
'' Come on Honey. If we don't leave now, we won't get into the club.'' Angela told her best friend.
'' Alright, I'm just finishing up a few emails.'' Mom told her
'' Oh what''? Angela says as she walks around to the front of Mom's desj and places her purse on it.
'' My publisher wants to schedule a book tour. I'm just confirming dates.'' Mom stated
'' Okay, that can wait, sweetie.''
Mom goes over to her coffee table and then she says, '' There's a student that needs help identifying the cause of a fracture on a lateral epicondial.''
'' TGIF? You heard of that''? Angela asked
'' Yeah it's some kind of acronym but my inbox in full.'' Mom answered
'' We know that's not true.'' Angela stated
'' And there's a TV show that needs research. Not that they listen.''
Angela takes the papers out of mom's hand and then she's says, '' We're going.''
Mom points to the coffee table and then she says, '' I really should catalog that skull it's in the museums exhibit on the French Revolution.''
Angeka starts removing Mom's work shirt and then she says, '' Yeah, Pepe Le Pu is more important then booze, anyways.'' Angela says and then she hands Mom's coat.
'' I dont think that is his name.'' Mom told Angela and then she continues to talk, '' Oh before we go, I need to tell Emma where we're going.''
'' Okay! Where is Emma anyways''?
'' Knowning Emma, she's probably with Zack.''
'' She's always with Zack'' Angela stated and then she says, '' There's no chance of separting them is there''
'' Nope.''
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Meanwhile in Zack's office. Zack and I were both sitting at the computers at his desk, he was on his own computer and I was on my laptop. I was sitting on Zack's lap and Zack had his arm wrapped around me.
'' I am so beating you, Zack.''
'' I don't think so.''
Zack and I were both playing a game on our computers and I was winning, normally I would be playing on Zack's computer with him but I had my own computer with me, so here we both were on the computers playing a game, a racing game in fact. Zack's car bumps into mine.
'' Oh no you didn't''
'' Oh yes I did.''
'' Take this'' I said, I was about to bump into Zack's car but he quickly drives off
Zack chuckles
'' You can chuckle all you want, Zack. I'm still beating you.''
'' I don't think so.''
'' Emma'' I heard my name being callen by my mom.
'' I can't look up from my computer, Mom. I'm trying to beat Zack in a racing game over here'' I told her
'' Again! Sweetie, you know you can't beat Zack in a racing game. He always wins.''
'' Not this time he won't, Ang, cause I'm going to beat his sexy ass.''
'' Anyways Ems, Ang and I are going out so if you need anything--''
'' I will go to either Hodgins and Zack, I know Mom.''
'' Okay.'' Mom said and then she and Angela both leave the office and Zack and I both carried on playing our game.
'' How many laps have we done''? Zack asked
'' Um four, this is our last lap.'' I replied
'' Okay, just for the record it doesn't really matter who wins this game does it.''
'' Na.''
'' Good.'' Zack stated
Mins later Zack's car went over the finish line first and I came second. I can't believe that Zack has beaten me again but oh well it's only a game.
'' I can not believe you beaten me again.'' I said to Zack
'' I did say too you that I am good.'' Zack stated as I leaned my back against him and then he wraps his other arm around me.
'' I know!'' I said
'' So listen, I know you dont like me or anyone else asking you this but um, have you thought anymore about taking a pregnancy test''?
'' Zack!''
'' We need to find out, Emmy'' Zack stated
'' Dont you think I don't know that, Zack. Of course we need to find out.''
'' So what's stopping you''? Zack asked me
'' Nothing stopping me, Zack'' I told him
'' So then take one, Emmy.''
'' I will take one, Zack''?
'' When''? Zack asked me
'' When I'm ready'' I told him and then I continued to talk, '' Look Zack, I will take a pregnancy, okay, I will. I'd just need some time.''
'' How much time, Ems''?
'' Just, just give me a few days okay.''
'' Okay.''
'' I promise you, Zack, I will take a pregnancy test.''
'' Good! Because we need to know, Ems.''
'' I know and I will take one.''
'' Promise!''
'' I promise, Zack. You have my word.'' I said and then I kissed him and surpringly he kissed me back and we both kept on kissing until we both
needed some air.
________________________________________________________
Meanwhile at the club; Mom and Angela were both at the bar having a drink and they were both talking too.
'' Do you think Emma's going to be okay at the lab'' Mom asked her best friend
'' Honey, she's going to be fine and besides it's not like she's alone is she. She's got Zack and Hodgins'' Angela told her
'' Maybe I should have ask her if she wanted to come with us.''
'' Sweetie, you did ask her.'' Angela told her and then she continues to talk, '' Feels good doesn't it? Being with people who are alive.''
'' It's very stimulating. I have to admit.''
'' We are so going to tear it up tonight'' Angela stated
'' Wait, that's slang, right''? Mom asked
'' Riiight.''
'' Is my costume alright''? Mom asked Angela
'' Sweetie, it's not a costume, it's a cut outfit and yes it looks perfect.'' Angela told Mom
'' I know it's very...it's very warm in here.''
'' No because it looks great. You are so getting checked out.'' Angela says as she and Mom both make their way over to the dance floor
'' I love this music.'' Mom stated
'' DJ Rulz, he is so hot.'' Angela says as she and Mom both reached the dance floor and then the both of them danced to the music
'' It's so tribal.''
'' Don't say tribal, sweetie.''
'' Why? Oh, because of all the black people''?
'' Sweetie, just for tonight have fun. Stop dissecting and take apart.''
'' African Americans aren't the only ones with tribal heritage.'' Mom continued
One girl in the crowd turns around and said, '' You're saying we're natives in some tribe''?
'' Well, Anthropologically speaking we're all members of tribes.''
Another girl in the crowd turns around and she says, '' You better shut you're mouth.'' The girl two said
'' No, I just meant Hip -hop mirrors the direct visceral connection you see in tribal communication.'' Mom continued.
This time a male dancer turns around and he asked, '' What''?
'' After the Cartesians split late in the 17th century, we separated our minds from our bodies, the numinous from the animalistic...''
'' Are you calling me an animal, boo''? The girl one asked
'' No Fool, she's using Descartes'philosophy to say she's down with the music.'' The number three female dancer said
'' Who you calling a fool, fool''? The female dancer one asked
The female one dancer pushes the female two dancer and then the female one dancer goes to hit Mom but Mom avoids her slap and hits her in the chest backwards. Angela tries to leave with Mom.
'' We're going. We're going''
The male dancer goes to Mom and grabs her by the arm and then he says, '' You shouldn't have done that bitch.''
Mom turns around and kicks him backwards in the chest. He falls into a wall crashing through it. A cloud of white dust comes billowing out across the dance floor showering down on the dancers, Mom, and Angela. Angela brings her hand up to her mouth and tastes her finger.
'' Uh oh'' Angela said as she and Mom both see a dried out man in the wall.

Agent Furst is leading the way down the stairs with Booth and Tessa trailing behind
'' Are you sure she can handle this''? Asked Furst
'' Look, no one in our lab knows the first thing about dealing with a mummy. I would have to call her in anyway.'' Booth replied
'' She assaulted two agents who were trying to tape off the body.'' Furst told Booth.
Mom goes up to them once they reach the bottom floor and then she says, '' They were trying to compromise the remains.''
'' A cloud of Meth covered the dane floor.'' Furst said as he leans over to Booth and then he says, '' I think they've inhaled quite a lot.''
Booth laughs and then he asked, '' Are you two high''?
'' Only by accident so it doesn't count.'' Angela stated
Mom sees Tessa behind Booth and then she says, '' Why'd you bring Tessa? This doesn't seem like such a great date.''
Tessa crosses her arms and then she said, '' We were out to dinner when we got your call. Your pupils are the size of saucers.''
A cop goes near the remains and Mom runs up to him. '' Wait, get away from the remains.''
'' Bones, simmer down.'' Booth told Mom and then he takes his notepad out.
'' How long is this going to take''? A body guard asked
'' Who the hell wants to know''?
'' I'm sorry he works for me. I'm Randall Hall, I run this place.''
'' You run this place Mr. Hall which is interesting to know cause you know we found some drungs on this dead...''
'' We found them. We found them.'' Mom interrupted Booth
Booth looked at Mom and then he carries on talking, '' Alright, we found some drugs on the dead guy. We're going to want to know where they came from? Why he had them''?
'' Why''?
'' Why he had them''?
'' Why he had them''?
'' Any idea of who he is? Any idea''? Booth asked Mr Hall as Mom walks back to the body.
'' The guy barely looks human. What makes you think I would recognize him''?
'' Bones''? Booth called Mom as he walks over to her and then he said, '' Bones, how does something like this happen''? Booth asked and then Booth reaches his hand towards the mummy and Mom grabs it twisting a little and walking him back and then he says, '' Ohh. What happened''?
'' The Egyptians would give the body a cedar oil enema and then rinse it with wine and cover it with salt, but I dont think that's what happened here.'' Mom told Booth.
Zack and I both arrived on the scene and the both of us were carring cases and Mom comes running over to us
'' Hey Mom'' I greeted Mom
'' Zack, Emmy, come here, come here.'' Mom said and then she drags Zack and I over to the wall where the remains were and then she says, '' Isn't this a beautiful specimen of mummification''?
'' What's going on''? Zack and I both aked Booth at the same time.
'' Let's just say your boss inhaled.''
Mom points to the mummy and then she says, '' See how perfectly dried and preserved the skin is. You dont find something like this everyday.'' Mom said and then she turns and looks at Tessa, Booth's girlfriend. '' Hey, Tessa. Have you seen it''?
Tessa looks disturbed by her suggestion. Booth grabs Mom and directs her back towards the mummy.
'' It's so hard to believe that you two would be a couple, you know cop and lawyer, it's very touching.''
'' I'm going to grab a cab.'' Tessa said and then she begins to walk away
'' Oh, no. Okay, hold on.'' Booth said as he walks up to her and then he says, '' Sorry, I apologize. Here.'' Booth said and then he hands her some money and then he continues, '' I'm going to make it up to you, I promise okay? Ice cream later''?
Tessa looks disappointed and then they both quickly kiss.
'' Take care.''
'' I'll talk to you later.''
'' Yeah.''
Tessa quickly kiss Booth again and then she leaves
'' Awe.'' Mom and Angela both said
'' Can we just stick to the business here? Thank you'' Booth said and then he walks up to Hall and then he continues to speak, '' I'm going to need a list of your employees, alright? We'll find out...run it through the system, see if anyone of them have a drug conviction.'' Booth said and then he goes over to Mom and then he asked, '' How long before you can ID him''?
'' Well, I'm not at all tired so I'm sure I can stay up all night and work.'' Mom said to Booth and then she turned to face Zack and me and then she said, '' We have to be careful. We're moving him, he's very dry and brittle.'' Mom said and then she brushes the cobwebs out of the mummy's face and then says, '' My first modern mummy.''
___________________________________________________________________________
Medico - Legal Lab
Mom and the rest of us were standing around the mummy which is now on a table.
'' Crystal meth is made from cold medicine, lye, and the strike pads from matchbooks. The body was not designed to deal with that kind of assault.''
'' So I'm finding out.''
'' Chamomile tea? It's very soothing.''
'' And very nice.''
'' You tried Chamomile tea''?
'' Oh yeah.
'' Can we focus here guys.''? Mom asked us and then she says, '' I just need you're results, Hodgins.''
'' How about a stick to pry the monkey off your back''?
'' Are you sure you need me here''
'' It's payback for showing me the good life.'' Mom stated
Booth walks up to the plateform and then he says, '' Okay, so how is my man the tut''?
'' In better shape then I am.''
'' The meth found in his lungs and nasal passages matches the meth that juiced Angela and the good doctor here.''
'' Can you please keep it clinical''
'' So, uh, died of uh, an overdose''?
'' Asphyxiation, Meth coated the alveoli in his lungs making breathing impossible.''
'' So ah, he uh, he overdosed with his meth behind the wall.''
'' Well the space was too narrow for him to squeeze through, he got stuck, the bag broke and when he gasped for air, he inhaled and died instantaneously.'' I said before Hodgins could answer
'' The dry air convection behind the wall removed most of the moisture from his body.'' Mom stated
'' How long was he uh, in there.''? Booth asked
'' Judging from the acrid mites in his ears. I would say six weeks.'' I said before Hodgins could answer
'' Hey didn't he have hands''
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Mom, Booth and I entered Zack's office. There is a jar with one of the mummy's hands in it.
'' They are easier to work with dismembered. I've re-hydrated them so we can get some fingerprints.'' I said and then I remove the lid off the glass jar. Booth looks at the hand clearly sick to his stomach and then I said , '' Yeah, I know it looks disguesting.''
'' Off that''
'' Sure.''
'' You've ever been to Costa Rica''?
'' I was flown down once. They found a human skull 1200 years old. Why''? Mom asked
'' Oh I got some vacation time, I was going to get off on um, Thursday.'' Booth said as he swallows hard while he watches Mom and I peel the skin in one piece off the hand. '' I heard Costa Rica was beautiful.''
'' I've been there.''
'' You've been to Costa Rica.''
'' Yeah, I went twice. Remember, mom, I went with Zack and his family and then I went with Angela .''
'' Right, I remember.''
'' How's things between you and Zack anyways''?
'' Things are good between us, thanks for asking.''
'' Hmm, fascinating wild life, lots of parrots.''
'' Ooh, I dont like parrots, no. People should really, really do all the talking. You know myabe I should...''
I put my hand into the mummy's removed skin
'' Oh, god. What are you doing''?
'' The Aztecs would filet people and then wear their skin as a body suit.'' Mom explained to Booth before I could
'' Ah, I guess you wont be needing mittens for christmas, huh.''?
I place my hand with the mummy glove on a fingerprinting machine and gets prints.
__________________________________________________________
Booth is sitting in a chair in the lab in front of a computer with fingerprints on the screen. Mom, Angela and I walked over to him.
'' Did the FBI find a match''? Mom asked
'' Yep, his name is Roy Taylor.'' Booth replied
'' Roy Taylor''? Angela questioned
'' You're kidding. It's DJ Mount.''
'' I dont know who that is.'' Mom stated
'' Mount is one of the best DJ's in DC.'' Angela started off
'' He used to play at the club.'' I finished
'' Everyone was wondering what happened to him.''
'' His album is really going to take off after this.''
__________________________________________________________
Meanwhile inside of Mom's office; Mom and I were both sitting on the couch. The both of us were listening to some hip=hop music while Mom writes. Booth walks into Mom's office and then he says, '' Never knew this side of you, Bones.''
'' It's DJ Mount.'' I told Booth before my mom could
'' Oh, hey Ems. I didn't see you there. Well this is new, ain't you normally with Zack.''
'' Normally I am with Zack but I needed some mom and daughter time.''
'' Doesn't this make you're head explode''? Booth asked
'' Not mine.''
'' Nore mine. I grabbed a couple hours of sleep on my couch and showered in the lab's decontamination shower.'' Mom stated
'' Ooh, you really know how to live.''
'' Angela said rap artists sometimes kill each other over the music: Jam Master Jay, Tupac, Biggie.''
'' Do you even know who you're talking about''
'' Yeah, I've done my googling.''
'' Yeah.''
'' Listen, you can hear the Alpha male asserting himself.'' Mom said
Booth makes some rap noises and then he said, '' Yeah, fill your ass up...'' Booth said and then he makes more noises and then he said, ''...with lead, always a nice theory.''
'' I'm heading back to the club to meet the FBI forensics team'' Mom said as she puts down her file onto the coffee table.
'' I'm coming with you.'' I told mom
Mom and I both get up from the couch and Mom grabs her purse and then she says, '' I'm getting facts.''
__________________________________________________________
Mom and I were both at the club. Zack was also there with us, Zack is using a camera to look behind the wall further that the dancer fell through. Mom and I were both watching the small monitor. Booth was in the background.
'' Was it fun coming to the club''? Zack asked Mom
'' Yeah. before the drugs and the dead body.'' Mom replied and then she said, '' Tilt, Tilt down.''
'' Seems so primitive, being in a crowd of strangers gyrating to music.''
Mom laughs and then she asked, '' You've never danced.''?
'' I've been told I look like a marinate in a wild storm'' Zack said
'' You would have fit right in last night.'' Mom said
'' Really''?
'' So what did you and Emmy do when Angela and I both left you guys''?
'' Nothing much, we just mainly talked''
'' About what''?
'' Stuff''
'' What kind of stuff''?
'' Just stuff, Mom.''
Mom looks at the camera and then she said, '' Footprints in the dirt in the termite shavings.''
'' Looks like someone was on the other side of him.'' I stated
'' Light.'' Zack said as he turns to look at Mom and then he said, '' This leads to the outside.''
'' We need to get inside that wall.'' Mom said as she turns to an agent.
'' Or take it down''
'' One last look''?
'' Take them in and show them around.'' The FBI angent said.
__________________________________________________________
Mom, Zack and I and an agent are behind the wall with flashlights.
'' Can we conform to as much forensic protocol as possible.''? The agent asked
'' We're not as bad as you think'' Zack answered
'' You know what those are''?
'' Rats.'' Mom responded
'' You're trying to scare us with rats''? Zack asked
'' Dude, we've been in places where the rats eat the laces right out of our boots.'' I finished
'' Take it easy there Willard.''
Zack aims the flashlight on the floor and then he says, '' There are the footprints.'' Zack said
'' There are marks on the wall, it's scraped.'' I finished the setence
'' Blood smear, dried. I see something.'' Mom said
'' What''?
Mom turns around to the agent and then she asked, '' Can I retrieve''?
'' Yes'' The agent said and then he hands her a evidence bag to her
Mom picks up something small with her tweezers and puts it in the bag
__________________________________________________________
Booth and I were both standing near Mom. Mom was sitting down at the table and she has the image of the object she retrieved and it was on the computer screen and it was blown up.
'' Apparently there's a rivalry between Mount and this guy uh, Rulz.'' Booth said
'' We saw him perform at the club last night. Did you talk to him''?
'' Oh, no I dont have enough yet. If I go too soon, he could run.''
Angela walks up to us to join us on the platform
'' Hey Ang'' I greeted Angela
'' Hey sweetie'' Angela greeted back and then she sees the object and then she said, '' Wow, that's a beautiful piece, Zirconium or Diamond''?
'' I'm more focused on the dried blood and flesh at the moment.'' Mom stated
Angela turns to Booth and then she asked, '' Do you buy Tessa Jewelery''?
'' You know I really dont want to talk about that right now.''
'' Zack buys me jewelery.''
'' Zack buys you jewelery.''?
'' Oh yeah, he buys me jewelery.''
'' She's got a box full of jewelery. You should see it, it's filled with necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.'' Mom said
'' I dont have much earrings though, it's mostly just necklaces, rings bracelets.'' I told them
'' Too much of a commitment. I just thought because you two were going away.''
Booth turns to Mom and then he asked, '' Do you have anything yet''?
'' Given the right of aire convection and the degree of dehydration of the flesh...I'd say they were there at the same time.''
'' I'm gonna have to agree with that.'' I said
'' Must of hurt like hell to get that thing ripped out of your belly button.''
'' I thought it was an earring.''
'' Look at the size of the stud, Mom.''
'' I had one of these before they became totally Miami divorcee.'' Angela finished
Hodgins enters the platform holding a glass jar. He comes over to us and join us and then he said, '' Good news. I was able to pull some particulates.''
Hodgins puts the jar on the table in front of Mom next to the computer. There were two eyeballs floating in it.''
'' Are those''?
'' Eye balls? Yeah, two types of foreign materiel in the eyes. Low density polyethylene residue and Meth Amphetamine crystals.'' Hodgins said
'' Polyethylene''? I asked before Angela could
'' It came from the plastic bag holding the Meth.'' Hodgins said
Mom points to the belly ring and then she said, '' This can be cleaned now.''
Mom pushes her chair back and then she gets up from the chair and then she and Hodgins walk over to the table with the mummy on it and Angela, Booth and I continued to talk at the table behind them
'' Yeah that's a real diamond.'' Angela stated and then she turns to Booth and then she says, '' Hey, why don't you get her a belly button ring? That's not too much commitment.''
'' That's if she's got her belly button pierced, Ang.''
Booth laughs and then he said, '' Yeah that's not...''
Mom is looking in the mummy's mouth and the said, '' The inside of the lips was damaged by the teeth. This was not an accidentally inhalation.'' Mom said and then Booth walks over to Mom and Hodgins and then Mom continues to talk, '' The Meth was pushed against his face with force. Someone was trying to smother him.''
'' Which would explain how the particulates got into the eye.'' Hodgins stated
'' So he didn't OD.'' Angela said
'' He was murdered.'' I finished the setence
'' So we just have to find out who owns this belly button ring.'' Booth said
Close up of the belly button ring. It's a silver heart with a diamond in the center on one side and on the other is an inscription.
Angela is cleaning off the ring with a q-tip and then she said, '' Look at this, Luv Rulz.''
'' Well at least we know who to ask'' Mom said
__________________________________________________________
Zack and I were both in the bone room. Zack is laying out the bones of the mummy on a table and Mom enters.
'' Roy Taylor''? Mom asked
'' Yes.'' Zack replied
'' Anything pop out at you now that the bones are clean''
'' Some damage to the facet joint on four and then on C4 on the right side of the neck.''
'' That suggests his head was forced that way.''
'' One other thing, I was looking at the skull through the microscope.'' I said and then I went over to the computer screen and then I said, '' I came across a slight depression, barely discernable.''
'' Slight indentation.''
'' Could it be congenital or a bone anomaly''? Zack asked before I could
'' Yeah probably.'' Mom said and then she picks up the skull and then she asked, '' Did you ever go on vacation''?
'' I take my vacation when you take your vacation'' Zack stated
'' What do you do''?
'' Go back home to Michigan, see the family. I have three brothers and four sisters.''
'' I'm so glad that I'm the only child.'' I said
'' Do you enjoy that''?
'' God no. I made the mistake of telling them I work with corpses and skeletons. They think I'm a freak.''
'' Your not a freak, Zacky.''
'' Then why do you go''? Mom asked
'' It's my family, they love me.''
Mom hands him the skull and then she says, '' Alright, take a closer look at the anomaly under the scanning microscope see what made that mark.''
___________________________________________________________________________
Mom and I were both sitting inside of Angela's office with Angela. Angela is sitting at a computer screen running a simulation, Mom and I were both watching her.
'' The damage to his C4 vertebrae was a result of his head being twisted so far to the right.'' Mom said
Angela points to the simulation and then she said, '' He was moving this way towards Eve.''
Booth walks in and then he said, '' My bet was he was chasing her.''
'' And that's based on''?
'' Money and Meth, she left that corridor carrying money saturated with the same Meth that killed Mount. She was moving fast.'' Booth said
'' She didn't even stop when her belly ring got ripped out.'' I said
'' I mean money is a pretty good reason to get chased, hmm? The only question is why wasn't he facing her''?
'' It got tight back there, fifteen centimeters.'' Angela said
'' Eve ripped out her belly button ring here and then left a smear of blood until the corridor widened here.'' I said finishing off the setence
'' Oh, god'' Mom exhales and she looks like she's going to be sick
'' What''? Angela asked
'' That just uh, makes me a little sick.''
'' Mom, you pick dead bodies out of mass graves and yanking out a belly button ring makes you sick''
'' Okay, okay, okay. I've shot a lot of people in my time and I've got to admit that whole belly button thing makes me nauseas too.'' Booth stated
'' Thank you.'' Mom thanked Booth
'' At this point Mount must have looked behind hin but kept going.'' Angela said
'' Then the passage way narrowed so he couldn't turn his head back towards Eve.'' I said finishing the setence.
'' Then there is no way she could have shoved the Meth into his face. Eve didn't kill him.'' Mom said
'' The third person surprised him that's why he turned his head to look.'' Booth stated
'' Mounts body prevented this third person from getting to Eve so she escaped.'' Mom said
'' But he got to Mount, shoved the Meth in his face and he killed him. Ah, but the real question is who the hell is this third person''?
___________________________________________________________________________
Hodgins, Zack, Mom, Angela and I were all on the platform. Hodgins was putting a bullet proof vest over Zack's head. Angela, Mom and I were watching.
Angela turns to Mom and then she says, '' Get this, I called Tessa to tell her a couple of places she should check out in Jamaica, she's not going.''
'' What happened''? Mom asked
'' Well, she said that something came up at work but I know the truth.'' Angela said
'' How many times do you want me to poke Zack''? Hodgins asked.
Hodgins is holding the cane by the bottom and Zack is holding a clay canister in front of him. Hodgins is going to poke the clay with the top of the cane to see the impression it makes.
'' Just once, but as hard as you can.''
'' As hard as he can? Why don't I hit him as hard as I can''?
'' Because you have arms like noodles while I'm vigorous and burly.''
'' For god sakes Hodgins, just be carful with Zack.'' I told Hodgins
Mom turns to Angela and then she asked, '' What truth''?
Hodgins hits Zack with the cane and then Zack said, '' That all you got burly boy''?
I chuckled.
Hodgins takes the canister from Zack and brings it over to a computer and then I asked, '' Are you okay, Zack''
'' Yeah, yeah I'm fine.''
'' They got freaked out by stage six.'' I heard Angela say to Mom
'' What's stage six''? I heard Mom asked
'' One, spend the night''
'' Done that with Zack.''
'' Two, spend the weekend.''
'' Also done that with Zack.''
'' Three, exchange keys.''
'' We haven't done that, yet.''
'' Four, sexy weekend get away.''
'' Haven't done that.''
'' Five, extended vacation.''
'' Don't think we've done that, yet.''
Angela, Mom and Hodgins looked at Zack and I and then I asked, '' What''?
'' You've done all those stages.''?
'' Not all of them, we only did one and two.'' I told Hodgins who asked the question
'' Follwed by six, move in together.''
'' I bet you haven't done that one yet then, Ems, have you''?
I stuck my tongue out to Hodgins
'' Okay, I'm an Anthropologist; I know the stages of everything. You made those up.'' Mom said
Angela laughs and then she said, '' I did not.''
'' Yes you did.''
'' They got to stage five and they baulked.''
'' Not Booth. Booth did not baulk.''
'' Sweetie, it's always the guy.'' Angela says
'' No, Booth is not a baulker.'' Mom said defending Booth
Hodgins turns to Mom and then he said, '' Hey! The mark on Mount and the mark on Eve are the same.''
Mom and Angela both walked over to have a look.
'' He can't resist hitting them with that stupid cane. The end of the cane...'' Mom said as she points to the marks on the screen and then she said, .''....it's a fit for both marks. Hall is the killer. Send the cane, the photos, and the medium to the FBI, let them confirm the match.''
'' What? Wait, let them have all the glory''?
'' My chest hurts.''
'' I thought I told you to go easy on him.''
Hodgins stick his tongue out to me and then Mom says, '' Yeah, all the glory''
__________________________________________________________
'' What a long day it has been today''? I told Zack later on that night as I climbed onto his bed
'' You're telling me'' Zack said as he joins me onto the bed.
'' How's you're chest''? I asked him
'' It's okay.''
'' I told Hodgins to go easy on you but did he listen, no he did not.''
Zack chuckles and I couldn't help but to sigh and groan and then Zack asked, '' Are you okay, Emmy''?
'' No.'' I groanded
'' What's wrong''?
'' My back is hurting. It's been hurting most of the day.''
'' Oh, do you want me to rub it for you to make it better''? Zack asked me
'' Rubbing doesn't work, Zacky.''
'' What do you want me to do''? Zack asked me
'' Do you have any ice or a water bottle''?
'' I dont have any ice but I do have a water bottle.'' Zack said and then he climbs off the bed and then he looks back at me and then he asked, '' Do you want hot or cold.''?
'' I want hot, please.''
'' Okay'' Zack said and then he leaves the bed to go and find the water bottle and then Zack says, '' While im in the kitchen looking for the water bottle, do you want me to make you something to eat''?
'' Um, I'm not really that hungry Zack. I had three bowls of pasta back at the lab.''
'' Three bowls of pasta, jesus Emmy.''
'' Scratch that, it was four bowls of pasta.''
'' Four''?
'' I know it seems a lot but lately I've been eating a lot of food.''
'' So I've noticed.'' Zack said
Minutes later Zack comes out from the kitchen and then he comes over to the bed with the hot water bottle. He climbes onto the bed and then he puts the water bottle onto my back and I couldn't help but to flinch as the hot water bottle touches me, '' Ow that's hot.''
'' You did say that you wanted it hot, Emmy.''
'' I know.''
'' How's the back now''? Zack asked me
'' It's okay, the pain is going.''
'' That's good.''
'' Night Zack.''
'' Night Emmy.''
The End
