Chapter 3: How far did you get last night?

"I don't know where the hell they are."

"Angela," Cam said, obviously having her patience tested by the artist. "Its only 8 o'clock in the morning. Maybe they went out to breakfast or something."

"Maybe. But Bren is never this late."

"Ange, I'm sure there's an explanation as to where they are, and why they're not here yet." Hodgins tried to stop the whirlwind that was Angela. "They were working on the case file last night, and were probably up late. They'll show up soon."

Angela sighed. "You're probably right. Oh! Look there they are!" She ran down the steps of the platform to meet them, just as they were coming to the platform.

"Angela!" Brennan laughed. "Why are you running?"

Angela cocked her head to the side and looked at her best friend. "Why are you late?"

"Never mind that," Cam interrupted, from up on the platform. "How far did you guys get last night?"

"Not far at all," Booth replied, just a bit too quickly.

"This morning on the other hand, is a completely different matter." Brennan said as she walked up the steps to the platform to look at the human remains on the examination table. "Is this a case from Limbo?"

"Well, yes it is," Hodgins replied. "Nigel Murray found that the victim was a male between fifty and sixty years old, and particulate evidence suggests that he lived in a cave. Also, I've found other unidentified particulates that are in his stab wounds, which are the cause of death. We were waiting for you to come in before we did anything else… Why are you all looking at me like that?! I was informing her on the case at hand."

"Dr. Hodgins, the case at hand is the one we are currently assisting the FBI on." Cam said. "Dr. Brennan, you said that you and Booth figured things out about the case this morning?"

"I never said that."

"No, sweetie, but you implied it." Angela injected. And what did she mean that this morning was a completely different matter?!

"Oh well, I meant no implication of that. We didn't find anything out about the case this morning."

Booth, for his part, had maintained a semi-natural skin shade throughout the entire exchange. "Bones, Bones c'mere a sec." She looked at him inquisitively and then obliged. "Bones," he whispered in her ear. "When Cam asked how far we got last night, she was talking about the case. You understand?"

"Oh!" Brennan said loudly. She then turned to the rest of the group. "It appears I have misunderstood what you were talking about, Cam. Generally, when Angela asks me how far I have gotten the previous evening, it has sexual implications. Booth and I did not get very far last night, although this morning, I'd say we got very far."

Jaws dropped. As did medical tools, trinkets, gadgets and anything else people had in their hands. Booth was leaning on the railing of the platform trying not to drop to the floor. Angela was trying to contain her excitement. It was finally Hodgins who broke the silence.

"You guys all owe me $50! Each! I told you it would happen before Christmas!"

A/N: Okay, so I know its been FOREVER and a day since I've updated, but I finally got around to it! Now on another note, how freakin' wierd/disappointing was the finale?? I was not okay with the overuse of hallucinations and everything. I mean, I liked it, I guess, in a wierd twisted 'I will pretty much go through any means necessary to see Booth and Brennan married and together' kind of way. I am really curious to see what's going to happen with the whole "Who are you?" thing. Like is Booth going to always think of Brennan as the woman in his hallucination? IE his wife? I can't wait for the new season to begin. I'm hooked-there's no way around that. Does anyone know when it starts? If you do please let me know. And if you don't, and you find out, let me know too! Let the countdown begin!

Also, I have a new addiction. Its called "Burn Notice" and its on USA. If you don't watch it you totally should. The new season starts Thursday June 4. WATCH!

Thank you for reading my fic! Please review!!!
