I was back at the bar playing a gig, and of course I had Daniel being the only one at the bar supporting me due to Angie having a date.

(Ash, the band, all of them.)

"I saw you looking for the side door
You didn't want to stick around for
The rest of the night
I guess that's alright
They all left when you walked home
It makes sense that they all know
It was only for you
If only you knew

What good is love
Without any strings?
Held it above
Stuck in between
Tell me for once
What that even means
I wanna know you
But can't make it right

There's something on my mind
There's something that I
(Wish I would've told you, but you just don't seem)
(To wonder what I'm doing when you're close to me)
Oh yeah
There's somеthing on my chest
I wish I would've said
(I think it over and it might bе true)
(I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you)

We locked eyes from a distance
So close, but I missed it
Now you're walking away
When I wish you would stay
I get stuck in a conversation
A different night, same situation
I beat myself up
For not speaking up

Every night I can't make it right, yeah

There's something on my mind
There's something that I
(Wish I would've told you, but you just don't seem)
(To wonder what I'm doing when you're close to me)
Oh yeah
There's something on my chest
I wish I would've said
(I think it over and it might be true)
(I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you)

Only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you, oh yeah
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you, oh yeah"

My phone began to ring making me pick it up.
"Ayo?"
"Ash, we need you to come to the lab to work something out." Angie told
"What happened to your date?"
"Ended it. Guy would not stop talking about himself."
"Sad. I'll be there soon." I told before hanging up and focusing on the crowd. "Sorry for that folks! I gotta head off early. Don't drink and drive!"
I quickly got my guitar and jump off the stage before rushing out of the building.
'Wonder what's happened?'

I was next to Zack on the platform looking over some paperwork for some of the dead peeps at where Doc is, when Jack came over with an an envelope showing it to us.
"Another present from the Bayou." He told as he came over to us and Angie was also doing something on the platform.
"I keep asking for a baby 'T' that says 'The Big Easy.'." Angie told making me raise an eyebrow at it.
"Well, we're all hoping for that." He told smiling and me and Angie shared a shocked look towards what he said making him quickly backpedal. "For you, I mean."
"You know Jack, we can make that happen for you if you truely wish." I told making Angie smile and he gave me a confused look, before me and Zack moved closer to them.
"Does our funding allow us to do Dr. Brennan's vacation work?" Zack questioned only to have to clear his throat due to Jack not being all here here.
Once we got his attention, he gave us the X-ray to Zack that was in the envelope which was from in fact Temperance.
"We're doing what the government didn't. It's the yin yang of government spending." Angie told as I looked at the x-rays with the boys.
"Fuck da government." I added.
"So we're sneaking?" Zack asked making us smile.
"That's what makes it fun." Jack told while Zack studied the X-ray.
"John Doe 361. Wow. Bad things happened to Mr. Doe." He stated.
"You know, back when I was living in Santa Barbara. There's this serial killer called Mr. Yang. Basically comes out of hiding for a new challenger and see if they can save the victim. Makes the hero lose their mind afterwards due to how dangerous and all the riddles are."
"And you lived there for how long?" Jack asked
"Three years. Yeah, met Henry through my friend Shaun. He was the first proper father figure I had. Shame we had to leave."
"Why did you leave?" Zack asked making me shrugged.
"Homesick."
'They can't know.'
