Broken Bones

Episode 5 "The Man in the Wall" Part 2

-Venus POV-

I had woken up from a well needed nap as I see Temp up at the platform about to examine something. So, I went over to her as Booth just got up with us as well. I bend over a bit to get a better angle on a charm of some kind as Booth speaks. "Apparently, there's a rivalry between Mount and this guy Rulz." I pip up, "We saw him perform at the club last night, before the accidently getting high part." Temp then asks, "Did you talk to him?" "Uh-uh. I don't have enough yet. I go in too soon, he could run." Angie then comes up from behind us "Wow. That's a beautiful piece. Zirconium or diamond?" Temp speaks "I'm more focused on the dried blood and flesh at the moment." Angie then asks Booth "You buy Tessa jewelry?" "I... I really don't want to talk about that right now." "Too much of a commitment? I just thought, because you two were going away..." "Do you have anything yet?" 

Temp speaks "Given the rate of air convection, and the degree of dehydration of the flesh, I'd say they were there at the same time." Angie then adds in "Must hurt like hell to get that thing ripped out of your belly button." "I thought it was an earring." "Look at the size of the stud. I had one of these. Before they became totally Miami-divorcee." I looked at her a bit confused as Hodgins come up to us happy. "Good news. I was able to pull some particulates." We watch as he puts down a beckon with two eyeballs as Booth speaks. "Are those, uh...?" "Eyeballs? Yeah. Two types of foreign material in the eyes- low-density polyethylene residue and methamphetamine crystals." Polyethylene?" Came from the plastic bag holding the meth." I take Temps seat as she stands up speaking to us, "This can be cleaned now." Angie looks over my shoulder at the screen, "Yeah. That's a real diamond. Hey, why don't you get her a belly-button ring? That's not too much of a commitment." "Yeah, that's great." I was cleaning the belly button ring as Temp looks at the body. "The inside of the lips was damaged by the teeth. This was not an accidental inhalation. Then meth was pushed against his face with force. Someone was trying to smother him." I piped in "That would explain how the particulates got into the eye." Angie then added "So he didn't OD. He was murdered." Booth added, "So we just have to find out who owns this belly-button ring." I pitched in "Don't worry Ranger I already ahead of you. Look at this 'Luv Rulz. Now we know who to ask."

Booth, Temp, and I got to Rulz place hearing music coming from inside. We walk inside looking around as Booth speaks up first. "Hello!" Rulz answers "Yeah, it's open." "Yeah, it's open. FBI. Special Agent Booth." Rulz looks over at me "Is the FBI recruiting from America's Top Model now?" I blush, not because of him, but I am easily flustered as Temp speaks up for me. "We are forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian." Booth then speaks "Eyes of buddy, they work for the FBI." Rulz then says "Yeah, I can live with that." "Dr. Brennan and Dr. Venus also discovered that Roy Taylor was murdered." "So?" "So, murder is wacked. See? Cause those are the rules... Rulz." "Maybe he had it coming to him." "Oh, so you and Roy Talyor don't get along." "That sucker ran me down, man. Tried to slam me on one of his tracks, and ain't nobody do that." "And, uh... what happens when they do?" "I take a piece of them. I got his face one night at the Bassment. I told him to disappear, and I ain't seen him since. Cause he knew to follow the Rulz." Booth chuckled a bit, "And, uh, maybe your girlfriend made sure that your... your problem just went away." "That ain't my woman no more. I kicked her sorry ass out months ago." "What is her sorry ass name?" "Eve Warren." 

I pip in "What was she doing with Mount?" "Take a guess. I guess it was just his turn." Booth then adds "She kept your ring?" "It's a diamond, man. Why she going to get rid of that?" "Any idea where she is now?" "Probably ripping somebody else off. That girl don't care about nobody but herself. Even though she got a kid, don't care about her neither. Let her brother shoulder that. Bitch." Temp comes next to me as I ask him "What happened to your hand?" "I got shot through the wrist a few years ago." Temp then adds "Shattered the lower radius and the pisiform." "Yeah. I got some nerve damage, too." "That's impressive." I piped in "Sis, if you want to see impressive, then I could show you one that I have on the right side under my chest." Rulz then speaks "I would like to see that too." Booth then speaks "Yeah no. Let us know if you hear from Eve." "That's all I got for y'all. I'm going to get back to work. Come on, let's hit it." "Let us know if you hear from her." Booth and I start walking out but turn back seeing Temps not following. Booth then calls her as she tells us how she like the music.
