Dr. Murphy wants to know why some things are necessary...eventual femslash. Don't like, don't read.

In a Nutshell: Dr. Hunt is always running unnecessary tests, which usually in the end always turn out to be necessary, and in this particular case, Dr. Hunt runs a test that is against Dr. Murphy's orders, only to grab her attention, and her…affection?

Also, I did get a few ideas from the author 'subcutaneous' so shout out to them as well!

Dr. Megan Hunt's phone had vibrated for the millionth time, and she only looked at it this particular time to make the damn thing shut up. She had 5 missed calls, 3 text messages, and 2 emails, all from the same person…Dr. Kate Murphy, also known as her BOSS.

She quickly skimmed through the emails and texts, thinking to herself "I must be in BIG trouble to get this much attention from her" then smiled her mischievous grin when she had realized what she had done. When Megan had gotten to the last text message, it had been sent only 5 seconds ago, she read it and stood immediately.

The text message read: MY OFFICE. STAT.

Megan strode quickly over to her boss' office, all the while keeping the grin on her face. Before the toe of her black stiletto even hit the floor of Kate's office, Kate had stated Hunt's name in quite a huff. "Dr. Hunt" she exclaimed, quite louder than she had hoped, "Do you realize the cost to run an ANA panel, complete blood panel, and a bone density scan all on a corpse?"

Megan shut the door to the office as Kate had uttered the last word, and only stared at her boss, with the ever so slick grin still plastered on her face.

"Dr. Murphy, the ANA panel was necessary to determine the autoimmune disease our patient had, which in fact turned out to not be Lupus like Ethan and Curtis had hoped, but was instead MS. The bone density was to determine a possible cancer, which would have helped if the patient had Leukemia, but seeing as how our patient was burned to death and no longer had any usable blood, I don't quite know which dingbat in this office ordered a CBC in my name." Megan spoke all of this with a complete poker face, and when she had finished put her clever smile back on.

"I see", Kate muttered softly, looking down at the paperwork on her desk before continuing her interrogation. "Dr. Hunt, do you realize that we do have a budget here at the lab, and any unnecessary test, especially one that I told you specifically NOT to perform, is NOT to be done?" Kate was now angry, and if she had been an acme cartoon, she may have had smoke coming out her ears.

"Yes, I do realize that Dr. Murphy, and do YOU realize that I just cracked the case WIDE open by running those tests and proving that neither the husband, brother, nor the father killed this man. The killer was a female." Megan stood as she said the last part, and began to leave the office.

Kate shook her head for a moment, trying to take everything in, and just as Megan opened the door to leave, Kate stood and asked one final question, "How did you know this man was gay AND how did you know the killer was female by running an ANA and bone density test?"

"Skills, Dr. Murphy, skills and instincts." Megan winked at Dr. Murphy and left the lab for the day without another word spoken.

This isn't quite a one-shot as you can tell once you read on, but your reviews will determine how long it may end up being!
