Booth knocked on the Summer’s residence and waited with Brennan for someone to answer the door. A teenager with long brown hair answered the door, “Hi….Angel?”
“A…no, I’m Agent Seely Booth,” he said, showing her his badge, “And this is Dr. Temperance Brennan. Can we come inside?”
“Buffy!”
“What?” a blonde said coming to the door and looking at the 2 people, who stood before her. One of them looked exactly like Angel, “Angel?”
**************************
“Sorry, it’s just the resemblance between you 2 is uncanny,” Buffy said as they all sat down in the living room. Willow joined them as well.
Booth smiled, “We’d like to talk to you about Tara Maclay, if you don’t mind.”
Everyone’s faces saddened a little at hearing the name, especially Willow’s.
“What about her?” Willow asked.
“The man, Warren Meers, who was suspected of her murder, was found dead in the woods this week,” Brennan said.
“We thought you might be able to tell us if there is anyone who would have hurt him, maybe someone close to Ms. Maclay,” Booth said.
“Dawnie, maybe you should go upstairs, you don’t need to be here,” Buffy told her little sister, who obeyed.
“What was your relationship with Ms. Maclay?”
“Friend, she was a very good friend,” Buffy said.
“She was my girlfriend,” Willow said.
“I’m sorry, I know this is hard,” Booth said.
***********************
Booth and Brennan made there way to their SUV. As they stepped into the sunlight, Booth put his sunglasses on, “I think the girlfriend did it.”
“You don’t know that,” Brennan replied, getting into the car.
Neither of them noticed Xander who had been listening to their conversation.
“She has the best motive.”
“What about the friend, who Warren shot and tried to kill, isn’t that a good motive?”
“Who’s the detective here, Bones? It was the girlfriend, I know it. She’s hiding something.”
****************************
“Did you find anything?” Brennan asked as she entered the lab.
“Not much, no fingerprints or hairs on the body from any of the suspects,” Zack replied.
“There was one thing though,” Hodgins said, “There is no flesh on the body what so ever. It’s like someone ripped the guy’s skin off and left only the muscle.”
“Oh and this,” Zack said, holding up the bullet that had killed Warren and shot Buffy in a bag, “I analyzed it and it has 2 blood types on it, one consistent with the victim and the other was O positive.”
“There you go prove Rosenberg has the same blood type and we can convict her,” Both said.
“Its circumstantial evidence, it would never hold up in court,” Brennan said.
“Why not?”
“Because 45% of the population has that same blood type; it’s not enough to convict anyone.”
“I know it was her.”
“There’s not enough to place her at the scene of the crime. Besides she doesn’t even look like a murderer.”
“Looks can be deceiving, Bones. Find me something to convict her.”
****************************
Brennan stood in the woods where the murder had taken place and looked around for any piece of evidence they could have missed. That’s when she noticed a piece of red hair on the ground.
*********************
It was late when Brennan got back and the lab was now empty. She began to analyze the hair and compare it to a sample of Willow’s. It was a match, Brennan’s heart sank. She had been so sure that it wasn’t her. The hair alone wasn’t enough to convict her but they had also found the girl’s fingerprints on the bullet. If the case went to trial, there was a good chance she would be found guilty. Now, she just had to tell Booth she had found the information he was looking for.
“We need to talk,” Brennan heard a voice say. She looked over and saw a man with black hair, standing there. It was Xander.
