“What happened in Iceland?” Booth asked through the mobile phone. Booth was livid and tired at this
point. It was his and Parker's weekend together and Rebecca would use it against him if he missed it
again. Stupid Jeffersonian Japanese exchange/ FBI retreat, stupid unpronounceable Icelandic volcano.
Booth put the mobile away to scan the airport, spotting Bones, the Squint Squad and Sweets huddled
into the duty free shops buying last minute items for the trip home. Booth watched as the flight time
billboards all switch to canceled. He groaned before making his way over to the duty free.
“Look Bren, they sell your books here!” Angela squealed pointed to the stall covered in Bones's latest
novel. “Ange, my book went best seller in several countries including Japan...” Bones replied deadpan
. Booth stepped in at this point before a repeat of the coffee shop in California occurred again, glancing
around to make sure no one overheard them. “Our flights have been canceled, due to a volcano
somewhere in Iceland going off. Apparently the entire of Europe airspace is filled with smoke and ash
and they have no idea when it will clear up. All commercial flights are grounded for now.” Everyone
grouped around him now listening to his words with looks of horror on their faces.
“How about private flights?” now everyone turned to Hodgins as he pulled out his phone and punched
a number in and after an exchange in fluent Japanese between Hodgins and who ever he dialed,
Hodgins grinned. “Private flights at at their own discretion to fly or not. Thankfully the other half of
my family's business is based right here and at the cost of a hundred thousand yen and a less than
awake air crew but we got the clear to charter back to sweet DC.” Angela grabbed onto her boyfriend
and placed a kiss on his lips as cheers erupted from the rest of the gang.
Booth now pulled out his own phone to dial the same cab service he has been using over the week long
retreat/ exchange. Once a cab big enough for all of the squints, Sweets and himself was arranged to
pick them up from the airport, Booth began shepherding all and their luggage, which in Angela's cases,
was a task and half.
Booth went to take Bones's suitcase from her while shifting his own bags to make room. Bones
immediately, as expected, began to complain about Booth's alpha tendencies while after hearing the
same rant over 50 times, Booth just tuned out and just nodded whenever she took a breath. Right after
reason 23 why, anthropologically, she should carry her own bag and before reason 24 they reached the
outside and managed to spot their own cab and with the taxi owner's help stored the bags of luggage in
the back then rushing to pile in before the oncoming hoards of stranded tourists swarmed out.
Now all seated and Hodgins and Angela sat at the front giving directions to private air strip near by,
Booth relaxed and sat back listening to the conversations around him. Bones was discussing something
about Nordic matrimony ceremonies in matriarchal societies compared with patriarchal ones with
Zach. Angela and Hodgins was whispering sweet nothings to each other and Sweets was imitating him
watching the Squints interact. He finally felt like contented. He had to thank Cam and the higher ups in
the FBI and the Jeffersonian who arranged the exchange with Japan. Basically the Squint squad,
Sweets and himself traded places with another similar team in Japan to observe each others methods. It
was part a treat for their unrivaled conviction rate and as a diplomacy deal.
They arrived in good time and as Hodgins paid the taxi and registered them in as Booth unloaded the
taxi and again shepherded all the occupants and their luggage onto the runway and stowed on the jet.
As Hodgins boarded, Booth stood back for second as the thought of how rich was the bug guy was
before onto how rich Bones was and what Angela would inherit and how much Sweets made off the
book. A moment of jealously over washed him before he dismissed it as he wasn't that sort of man,
both religiously and morally. Booth shut the hatch and made his way into the plush interior and sat
next to Bones before buckling himself in.
