Okay, chickies. You know you all wanted it to continue. So, here especially for all those lovely people who reviewed Pain, is a continuation. It's only short, but another, also short, chapter is coming. Basically, I'm over writing angst for the mo, and have included lots of fluff! And more of my favourite, ANGELA! She is the best charcter to write, I reckon.

Anyway, review please! If you keep reviewing my imagination keeps chucking ideas at me. :)

Continues the morning after Pain ended...

When Angela entered her office, Brennan looked up, a smile on her face.

"I assume it went well, then." Angela commented, smiling back at the anthropologist.

Brennan's smile disappeared, and Angela could have sworn her expression became guilty, like she had been caught doing something illegal.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Uh, the trial, Bren? I was assuming from your happy disposition that the scumbag got what he deserved."

Brennan's guilty expression disappeared, and she looked almost relieved. "Oh, yes, it went great. He got twenty-five to life. No parole."

"That's fantastic! And Booth's suggestion of the death penalty didn't stick?"

Brennan shook her head. "I convinced him not to suggest it to the prosecutor. It would never have gone through. And I don't think Booth wanted to legally kill him, anyway."

Angela laughed. "Knight in shining FBI standard issue body armour, sweetie."

Angela turned to leave the office, but stopped and re-entered. "So, why didn't you call me last night? After the trial. You said you were going to."

Then Angela saw a remarkable, and damning thing. Brennan let a small secretive smile pass over her lips. It was only there for a second, but Angela did not miss it.

"Oh, I was just really tired, and I forgot. I'm sorry. I just went straight to bed."

"Hmm. How come I don't believe you?" Angela leaned over the desk and studied her face. "You had sex!"

"What! How on earth can you come to that conclusion by looking at my face, Ange?"

"The grin, sweetie. When I walked in, you had the grin."

"Excuse me?"

Angela sighed. "The grin. The unconscious contracting of the face muscles, resulting in a huge grin. A huge grin that screams sex." She smiled at Brennan. "So who was it?"

"No-one! I had sex with no-one."

"No use denying it, Sweetie. The grin is never wrong. You may as well just admit to it and save yourself the embarrassment."

Brennan grimaced. "Fine, I did sleep with someone. But I'm not telling you who."

Angela smiled at her. "That's alright. Guessing is half the fun." She shot a wicked look at her. "Was it the lawyer?"

"No."

"The bailiff? They can be hot."

"No, Ange."

"The judge? Because I'm pretty sure that compromises the case…"

"No."

"The clerk? Now I'm scraping at the bottom of the barrel, Bren."

"No, Angela. It's none of them, and I'm not telling you who. Now can you let me finish this report, please?"

Angela held up her hands in a sign of surrender. "Fine, fine. But you know I'll find out, sweetie." She walked to the doorway. "I'll be watching you!" She left.

As Angela headed back onto the platform, she saw Booth approaching.

"Hey, Angela. Bones here?" He shot her a grin.

"Yeah, she's in her off –" She stopped mid-sentence. Stared at his face. Slowly, an evil grin appeared on her lips. "She's in her office, Booth."

"Thanks…" He looked at her quizzically, and was puzzled further when she fell into step along side him. "Did you want something?"

"Oh, no, I just have to tell Bren something really quick." They reached the door to her office.

Booth entered, and Angela stuck her head through the doorway. She looked straight at Brennan, the evil grin present on her face.

"You have matching grins, Bren!" Brennan's head shot up, and she looked at Angela with a stricken expression.

"What?'

"Don't deny it! I know!" She looks from Brennan to Booth, "I'll be back later for details."

The door shut behind her, and the partners heard a loud squeal from the other side.

Booth looked over at Brennan, unable to wipe the grin from his face. "We are never going to hear the end of this."
