Red past

It was a long tome ago but Lisbon and Jane met before Jane joined the CBI. secrets reviled. This is my first mentalist fanfic. I say sorry now because I can't spell

Set 8 years in the past:

Lisbon was a rookie in her second month at her first agency. She was on her first ever undercover job with a more experienced agent named Chris Stone. The aim was to get access into one of the mafia rings this was stone's job. It was well known that there are a series of 'tests' that need to be passed the first of which was to pick up a 'prize ladies' which the head Mafioso would pick out of the patrons at the arranged bar. This was Lisbon's job.

Patrick Jane had recently gotten a job at a casino as a psychic which didn't pay all that well so he also spent some of his earning at the casino but tonight he decided to go to the bar near his apartment named Mc Palos. On this particular night he walked in and it was relatively quiet. A few people scattered here and there a group of guys near the back and a beautiful brunet sitting at the bar. She has short dark wavy hair, she was wearing a backless low cut red dress that fell just above her knees.

A good looking blond haired blue eyed man came and sat next to Lisbon at the bar only minutes after her and Stone took there positions. The man offered to buy her a drink. It's just one drink she thought to her self it couldn't hurt and he's so good looking it would be rude to deny it. She accepted his offer and the man introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm Patrick Jane"

"Molly Quinn" she replied with a quiet smile.

She then was unsure if that was her name. Of course it wasn't her name. She just wasn't sure if she should have used her real name but then again she was on and undercover job. But it was too late now.

The two talked for about twenty minutes it wasn't really a deep conversation just chit chat but both found it nice. Jane couldn't help but read her body language in particular her eyes when ever she smile her eyes smiled too it seemed to light up the room. Stone on the other hand was getting worried about his 'conversation' and the Mafioso didn't seem to be bringing up the 'prize woman' task and he was starting to get a bit nervous. Little did Stone know the mob knew who he was and what he was trying to do because some one at Stone's and Lisbon's agency had leaked the information to another mob family and that family had contacted the group of men sitting at the table opposite agent Stone.

Another ten minutes past and Jane and Lisbon's conversation had now moved on to talking about childhood pets, and now Lisbon's favorite kind of flower. Neither of them brought up the subject of there jobs because both knew from previous experiences that more often then not it didn't end well. Some people scare so easily Jane thought to himself.

Lisbon suddenly remember that she was at that bar for a reason ad it wasn't to talk to good looking blond haired blue eyed men, it was to get a case solved and to back up her partner. She discreetly looked over to the table in the corner where Lisbon noticed that Stone was getting up from the table and was being led away by the head Mafioso. She had no totally blanked out on what Patrick had been saying, she didn't to levee him or make him think she wasn't into him because to admit it he was very good looking. Lisbon decided to excuse herself and said she was going to the ladies room. Patrick could tell she was lying to him but he couldn't understand why even using his mentalist skills.

Stone and the rest of the mob walked down a small corridor there were two doors on each side that lead to different bathrooms. There was also a door right at the end which Agent Stone was being led through as Lisbon poked her head around the corner. Patrick got a sudden feeling of worry wash over him. By the lime Lisbon got to the end of the corridor Stone had disappeared through about a minute ago. When Lisbon got to the door she found there was a small rectangular window, she looked through it curiously and was shocked by what she saw.

Patrick Jane had followed 'molly' and as he stepped into the small corridor he saw her running to the door franticly she stopped for a second and she let out a small scream then disappeared through the door. Lisbon had seen Stone and one of the mob men. The man had punched Stone in the face twice, Lisbon had flinched both times. Then the mob man pulled out a gun which Lisbon noticed had a silencer attached to it, he pointed it at Agent stones head she wanted to burst through that door and catch the man off guard but she couldn't she was frozen in time.

"We know who you are Agent Stone" the man said in his most evil voice he then aimed the gun at stones head. Stone fell to the ground and he could have sworn he herd a small scream.
