Chapter 2
As soon as they arrived in Chicago, Angela and Brennan drove their rental car over to visit Mr. Schneider. They were greeted at the door 由 a rotund older man who was grinning from ear to ear upon seeing Brennan.
“Oh I am so happy to see that 你 came to the reunion, we have so much to catch up on Temperance. “
As they followed him into the house, Mr. Schneider kept talking about the reunion and how glad he was to see Brennan. He was not giving any time for either one of them to ask him any questions.
Finally as they sat down, Brennan introduced Angela and then said. “I read your note 你 sent and what is it that 你 wanted to see me about?”
“Oh Temperance it was just an idea that I would like to visit with 你 更多 than we have in the past but now is not the right time to talk. I know 你 want to get to the hotel and settle in before the 鸡尾酒 party tonight.” Mr. Schneider 说 very nervously. He was quickly glancing around the room as if there was someone else there.
Angela could see that he was very agitated and did not want to talk right now but Brennan was not aware of his uneasiness. She just kept looking at him quizzically and was starting to ask another 问题 when Angela interrupted.
“Your right Mr. Schneider, we have had a long flight and need to get ready for tonight. Are we going to see 你 tonight at the party?”
“Oh of course I will be there and I am looking 前锋, 期待 to seeing 你 there. I do hope that 你 brought your husband with 你 this time, Temperance.”
Brennan looked at him with a surprised look on her face and was about to correct him when Angela quickly said. “Yes, her husband is coming in later tonight along with my boyfriend. They may not make the 鸡尾酒 party but they will be here this weekend and maybe we can all get together at another time.”
“Great. Looking 前锋, 期待 to it, now I know 你 two girls must be getting to the hotel. It was wonderful seeing 你 again Temperance; 你 have always been one of my 最喜爱的 students.”
As they left the house, Brennan turned to Angela and asked. “What was that about, he knows I am not married and why did 你 agree with him?”
“Sweetie, didn’t 你 notice how nervous he was. It looks like something is very wrong. I think he mentioned a husband because he was looking for Booth. As 你 说 he knows that 你 are not married and I’m sure he knows that 你 are partners with Booth who works for the FBI. I think it was his way of asking 你 to get Booth here.”
“Angela, I’ll call Booth but I don’t know what to say to get him to come here.”
“Brennan all 你 have to say is that 你 need him and he will be here for you.”
As Angela drove the car to the hotel, Brennan called Booth and asked him if he could come to Chicago. She told him which hotel they were at and she would explain everything when he gets here.
“Is Booth coming?” Angela asked.
“Yes. He 说 he would be here tonight. It is almost as if he knew I would call him.”
When they got to the hotel, Angela quickly called Jack to see if he would come with Booth and learned that they were already on their way. He also told her he had booked a room for them and that it was under his name.
As they approached the hotel registration desk, they could see a number of people with name 标签 talking in a group. One of the women looked at Brennan and quickly whispered to another one. Then the 秒 woman said. “Temperance Brennan is that you?’
Brennan looked at the woman and seemed surprised that the woman had 说 anything to her. “Yes.”
“Temperance 你 may not remember me but I was Peggy Walters, but now I’m Elizabeth Jameson. I am surprised to see 你 here at the reunion. 你 and your friend must come and 加入 our group tonight. All of the old gang is here and they would 爱情 to see you.” As she 说 this she quickly walked to follow the others outside before Brennan could answer.
“Who was that, Brennan?”
“That was one of the 流行的 girls when I went school. She did not even like me then and don’t understand why she wants to talk with me now.”
“Well don’t worry about it now let’s just get our rooms and make some plans for tonight I’ll check us in while 你 check in at the reunion desk.”
As Brennan walked to the reunion 台, 办公桌 in the lobby, Angela went to the hotel registration desk.
The clerk behind the registration 台, 办公桌 asked. “May I help you?”
“Yes there should be two reservations, one for Temperance Brennan and another for Jack Hodgins.”
“Yes, we have both reservations and each reservation is for a two person suite.”
“Can the rooms be on the same floor and close together?”
The clerk looked at his computer for a moment and answered. “Well we can put them on the same floor and 下一个 to each other if 你 would like.”
“Yes that’s fine. I am checking in for myself, Angela Montenegro and for my boyfriend Jack Hodgins and for Temperance Brennan and her partner, Seeley Booth. Dr. Brennan is at the reunion 台, 办公桌 right now. “ Angela pointed to Brennan and quickly turned back to the clerk and said. “Jack Hodgins and Seeley Booth will be coming later, tonight.”
As Angela had 说 that she was Jack Hodgins girlfriend he made note that one room was for Jack Hodgins/ Angela Montenegro and since she had 说 that Seeley Booth was Dr. Brennan’s partner he noted the other room was for Seeley Booth/ Temperance Brennan. He also made note that Jack Hodgins and Seeley Booth will be coming in later this evening. He then handed the keys to the rooms to Angela.
Angela then joined Brennan at the reunion desk. She could see that Dr. Brennan was asking about the activities planned for this weekend. The person behind the 台, 办公桌 was telling her that tonight will be the get reacquainted 鸡尾酒 party and tomorrow there were various sports activities planned with a barbeque later in the afternoon. On Sunday afternoon was going to be the final activities and awards along with the reunion 晚餐 and dance later in the evening. At that point the young man asked for her name.
“May I have your name?”
“Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
“Yes, here 你 are on the list. I also note that 你 have included a guest.”
At that moment, Angela came over to the 表 and said. “Tempe, just wanted to remind 你 not to forget that there are actually four of us together this weekend.”
Brennan looked at Angela for just a moment with a quizzical look. But quickly realized that she had asked Booth to come but who was the other person coming. She turned to the young man and asked that it be changed to include three guests. He made note and gave her a 列表 of the activities planned and handed her name 标签 to put on.
As they went to the rooms, Angela explained that Dr. Hodgins was coming with Booth so that it would look like a couples weekend so no one would get suspicious as to why they are there.
Angela handed Brennan one of the keys and said. “Let’s get ready for the afternoon cocktails and check in with those people while we wait for Booth and Hodgy to get here. I’ll come to your room in about an hour.”
“All right, but I don’t know why we need to meet up with those people.”
“We’re just looking like we came to the reunion and nothing else. We also promised Mr. Schneider that we would meet him for cocktails.”
An 小时 later they entered the 鸡尾酒 lounge with their name 标签 on and slowly mingled with the other people here for the reunion. Everything seemed like a regular reunion, but Angela could tell that Brennan was feeling uneasy. As they approached the group of people that they had seen earlier, Angela saw them talking amongst themselves with glancing looks in their direction.
The woman who had spoken with Brennan earlier came 前锋, 期待 and guided them to the group. She quickly introduced everyone. There was her husband Peter Jameson and Barbara Williams with her husband Dave and the last couple was Debbie Harcourt with her fiancé Steve Levi. Peggy then told them about everyone who was coming this weekend. She 说 to Brennan. “You remember Bruce he was the 星, 星级 football player when we were in school together. Well he married Tiffany and he is now a professional golfer. Didn’t 你 use to have a crush on him? Remember Tiffany was the cheer leader who was from a very well to do family and there is her brother Thomas. I know 你 will recognize him when 你 see him he has not changed at all. He is still as good looking as ever. I am sure that 你 do not want to miss out on seeing Vickie, she was your best friend in school until that incident happened. But never mind there are so many chances to catch up on old times this weekend. Besides we need to know about 你 and your friend here.”
Angela could see that Brennan was getting uncomfortable, so she introduced herself. “Hi, my name is Angela Montenegro and I work with Temperance at the Jeffersonian. “
“Is that where 你 two met?” Debbie asked.
“I was aware that 你 worked at a museum but I did not know that your girlfriend worked there as well, Temperance. That may explain why 你 have never married after all these years.” Barbara said.
“Oh look there is Mr. Schneider, the old science teacher, did 你 know that he is suspected of killing a former student. I don’t know why the police released him. They probably don’t have enough evidence yet but just wait and see what happens this weekend.” Dave interjected.
Out of the corner of her eye Angela spotted Hodgins and Booth. So she interrupted the conversation. “We have to go and met some other people but it was lovely. See 你 some other time.” As she pulled Brennan away she said. “Now I know why 你 have never come to the reunions before. We have to go met Booth and Hodgy 你 take them up to your room while I get Mr. Schneider.”
