As Lisbon makes her way to the trailer after talking with Cho and collecting her dress from inside the cabin, she'd hung it there out of Jane's eye sight with threats to his person if she caught him sneaking a look, she spies Jane down by the pond. She's pleased to see he's dressed, and looking quite delicious, so the trailer will be all hers to use to get ready for the wedding. It's not the ideal place to glamour up, and adding more bodies inside would make it impossible, not that she cares too much. Today she's to marry Patrick Jane, what more can she ask for?

She still, sometimes, thinks it's all a dream, and steals another look at him just for reassurance. It has taken a long time to get to this place, and it wasn't that long ago she was certain it would never come, that she'd lost him forever, that she would never see him again, but now not the time to dwell on that. Her hand reaches for the ring around her throat, that's joined her cross. The ring that's graced his finger for many years, a symbol of his devotion to his departed wife and his revenge. As he continued to wear it after declaring his love for her, it bothered her. She tried to ignore it, afterall things were new, things were good, he was attentive, always trying to please her, more honest than he'd ever been. He just needed time. But there were moments as she caught flashes of it in the sun, she wondered about his commitment, was he ready to move on? He'd said all the right things, continued to say all the right things, but he's always been good with words.

Then he left. His fear of loss paralising him from moving on.

She shakes her head. Stop this Teresa! He's taken off the ring, with a beautiful speech about the past and the future. Now it's around your neck, because it's so much apart of him, apart of the man you fell in friends with, and gradually, imperceptably, you fell in love with. He's building us a house. She takes one last look, he standing at the water's edge, hands clasped behind his back, his body relaxed as he waits...waits for her.

Once through the door she turns and locks it, there's no chance that Jane's going to surprise and have a peak. She keeps the key in the lock so he can't pick it.

She turns around and finds herself staring at a man, his face and arm ravaged, a fact that barely registers. with Lisbon as she concentrates on the gun in his hand that's pointing at her. She knows who he is. She instinctively backs away from the gun until she feels the door up against her and there's nowhere and she can go no further, it helps keep her standing as she feels the adrenelin, that's shooting through her body, weaken her knees.

"What do you want?"

The gunman smiles:

"I want Patrick Jane."

"He's not here."

Her mind's racing. He's not here, but he's not far away, and if she doesn't come out, he'll come looking for her. She can't let this madman near him, she can't and won't lose Jane today.

The smile widens, and then, moving faster than she expected, and catching her by surprise, he's upon her, his arm pressing across her neck, she feels his gun against her temple, his body leaning in to hers, pushing her against the door, she finds herself trapped, unable to move. She tries to stay calm, to think of her training, but the pressure against her neck is increasing, her larynx being crushed against his weight, taking her breath away. She struggles but is useless, as she becomes lightheaded, her body weakening, slowly darkness prevails.

She aware of the pain in her throat as consciousness approaches, at first she's confused, she's uncomfortable, she's on the floor. Why is she on the floor? She moves and it all comes rushing back as she realizes her hands are tied behind her, with her own handcuffs and there's duck tape across her mouth. She feels hands on her, pulling her up to a standing position. He stands behind her, she feels the gun now against her neck. She struggles as he pushes her towards the door. She can't let this happen, she has to stop him, she has to find away. He wraps his free arm around her pinning her against him.

She knows he has to let go to unlock the door, she relaxes and waits.
