Brennan is spending a lot more time in her office these days. It used to be she was always either out on the platform or in one of the labs or workrooms. But this was more peaceful.

It keeps her and the investigators out of each others way, and that makes Cam marginally less anxious.

Brennan scrolls down on her computer screen, to the second paragraph on the fourth page of the article on occupational stress markers she's drafting. She wants to get this, and an additional article about early twentieth century ballistics in good shape before she leaves for Peru.

"Goes straight to voicemail."

There's a very long pause.

"I don't think he's doing well, Bren."

"Sort of," Angela says.

"It's just . . . it's never about Zach, it's always about . . . who was late, and the sink broken, and my lawyer called, and . . ."

Angela shrugs.

"I don't know, Bren."

"The sink was in Zach's apartment."

So . . . that'd be a "no."

"I . . . no. No, this is more I need to talk to my best friend than I want to involve my boss.

"Besides, I don't think subterfuge is a good idea.

"I just . . . I keep waiting for it to start to get better. And then he goes off somewhere and doesn't tell me where. Or why."

The problem, really, is that this is kind of an unsolveable problem. There's nothing you can do, nothing you can fix, to make it get better any faster. You just have to ride it out.

"Thanks.

"It will get better. For all of us. It's just . . . still a really raw wound."

"I will," Angela says.

"And if he calls you, for any reason, got me, let me know.

"Please."

Angela starts to say that no, she's fine, that's not necessary, she knows Brennan is busy with plans for Peru and all . . .

And then just nods.

"Yeah. That'd be . . . thank you."
