Title: The Zeppo Redux
Author: Maeve Bran

Disclaimer:I don't own Buffy or Angel or Bones
Notes:This is for the August fic a day. This is set durring the "Woman in Limbo" episode of Bones.
TTH100 Prompt:#29 Heartache
Word Count:360
Willow stared as Dr. Temperance Brennan seemed to go nuts just looking at the holographic recreation of the latest Jane Doe. Willow almost agreed with Zack's assessment of caffeine intolerance. That theory made as much sense as any. Then Special Agent Seeley Booth came in and made a phone call. He canceled her court appearance and then explained that the Jane Doe was actually Christine Brennan. Willow was shocked at that revelation. She knew about Brennan’s heartache but had thought that someday they would find her parents alive.
Willow was more determined than ever to help solve the case and ease the heartache. There had been people Willow had lost for no good reason to natural causes and she had lost loved ones to murder. The later case there is something one can do just as long as it didn’t involve flaying someone alive, or even dead. It might make you feel like you were doing something but in the long run it leads to black eyes and veins and trying to destroy the world.
If it was possible to prevent that Willow was willing to do anything. Everyone else apparently agreed. Zack had briefly called his wife, Dawn formerly Summers, and explained why he wasn’t coming home. Zack reported that she said for him to stay as long as necessary to solve this one. Willow understood that she was thinking of her mother's death. Joyce Summer's death had hit everybody in their gang but it was hardest on Dawn.
Willow had been trying to find away to lessen Dr. Brennan’s sorrow since the case about Jesse Kane’s dad a couple months but nothing had come up. Here was something tangible she could do. There was not much call for the computer knowledge that Willow had, but she could make sure that those who knew more had enough caffeine and snacks to get through this. Willow now understood how Xander had felt their senior year, being relegated to fetching doughnuts and snacks. Willow was too much a feminist to do that on a regular basis, but she was smart enough to know it was the best way she could help.
