Scene 17: Coda: Booth, Brennan, and Hannah

Nov 02, 2007 21:43

Previously . . . It's been a relatively quiet day at Neptune High. Hannah had no papers due and no tests toay. No major scandals have broken, everyone is still dating or not dating the people they were dating or not dating this morning, no one's been beaten up or taped to a flagpole ( Read more... )

Brennan returns the wave. It's good to see Hannah laughing with her friends over lunch at school. That, more than any conversation they've had over email, the phone, or in Milliways, tells her that Hannah is okay. Hannah is going to be just fine.

The reaction of the other students does not go unnoticed. She glances sidelong at Booth, who is carrying a couple of pizza boxes.

"I don't remember outside visitors being this big of a deal when I was in high school."

On the other hand, the FBI had never turned up at her high school, so she may not be in the best position to judge.

"Lucky for you, I called ahead," Booth says, a bit smug. When he was in high school, school shootings were very, very rare. They're still not common, but administrators get very tetchy when strangers show up these days. "So we're cool with the administration, at least. The students...we're just gonna get stared at. Sorry."

He can't wave, thanks to pizza, but he beams at Hannah.

Brennan shrugs. She's not bothered by the students' stares; she just finds the phenomenon interesting.

"Hi Hannah." They have by now crossed the courtyard. "I hope you don't mind us dropping in again. We have to catch an afternoon flight back and wanted to 'hang' with you a little more before we left."

She's picked up 'hang' as an idiom during this trip to California. She believes it is somehow related to surfing in this context.

"The pizza was Booth's idea," she adds.

"That's . . . great," says Hannah, working very hard to keep a straight face over the use of the word "hang" by Brennan (and not in the context of a death's impact on the neck vertebrae).

"Agent Booth, Dr. Brennan, this is Emily Conlin, Geoff Adams, and Sam Keith, who I think you've met," she adds, getting a little dry there at the end.

There's a somewhat muttered round of inarticulate hello's.

"So, case is all solved?"
