Scene 7: Interrogating Trina

[paladinsuitsyou]

Previously...Trina Echolls looks good even when she's being interrogated. The flourescent lights don't do anyone any favors, but she manages to look fresh and pulled together in spite of them

Perfectly relaxed. The lighting is a bit harsh, sure, but she's been in worse.

Nor does she find it all that awkward to be watched, or questioned. (Pssst, Agent Booth. It's kind of what she does for a living.)

So she just watches him back, with a very slight smile.

It's intended to be infuriating. Is it working?

[paladinsuitsyou]

It's not entirely infuriating, but is ever-so-very-slightly irritating.

"So, Ms. Echolls, the last time we spoke, you intimated that your stepmother "would never" do something. Were you referring to her faking her own death?"

It seems like the best place to start, somehow. He wants to know what she meant by that.

[dead_hooker_2]

"No."

Ask a yes or no question, get a yes or no answer.

"What, specifically, were you referring to, Ms. Echolls?" Brennan asks calmly, interjecting herself into Booth's interrogation.

The young woman is engaging in a power play. If she irritates Booth (and Brennan has a feeling that Booth is edging in that direction) Ms. Echolls gains the upper hand.
