First day back.

Well I got a warm welcome back to work this morning.
I rolled myself into my office and found a note on my desk by my phone:

Hello Dr. Brennan, welcome back. Just informing you that there is a case which came in this morning, and given the resant legal scandal of yours I suggest you sit this one out. No pun intended.
Witter is working on it, he seems to have it under controll.
Signed - Dr. Gergory Hennigar

I frowned. I've been back to work exactly 5 mintues and already that damn law suit is thrown in my face.
Right, as if Hennigar never made a mistake...well whatever, he should have known I wasn't going to listen to him anyway.

So I called Witters office, but it wasn't him who answered the phone.
"Dr. Smith"
I was confused, what the hell was Matt doing answering Greg-o's phone?
"Mathew? Wheres Greg?"
He gave a short laught. "Which one, theres 3 of them you know."
Yeah, okay smart ass.
"How about Greg Witter? You know, the guy whos office you currently have taken over. Where is he?"
"Oh! Dr. Brennan! Yeah....um.. he's in the OR..I thought you'd be there with him. You know his current patient so I assumed...."
"Don't ever assume, when you assume you gamble..and we frown on that, or so I'm told. Who's his patient?"
"Um... a five year old boy. Aaden Scott"

I gulped, my heart stopped, and I froze completely. Aaden? My Aaden? I just saw him two days ago..what could have happened to him. Surely Scott would have called me to tell me...wouldn't she?

"Brennan? are you there?"
I snapped out of my stooper, shaking my head, trying to clear it.
"Yes, Dr.Smith, I am. When did this patient come in?"
"Uhh....this morning, around 3 a.m. He was in some kind of an accident"
"Okay, thank you Matt" my voice was a hushed whisper as I hung up the phone.
All I had left to is wait until I can hear about the accident and what happened.

Huh? Coleman, I hope thats you...
Brennan..did you tell anyone who wasn't on the staff?

Umm, nope. Not me, I didn't even know what happened up utnil a few hours ago. Witter didn't either so don't even think it. I don't know, but I do know this.. you wouldn't let Aaden run around outside in the middle of the night, so this accident was no fault of yours. HOWEVER someone in your house is at fault...and I have a dman good hunch as to who.
