This is a story I have been thinking about for a while. I have just started watching the mentalist and I am really enjoying it so I thought I would right a fan fic. Hope you enjoy.

Fight Till The End

Red John

Patrick Jane turned the handle of his door. He hated coming home knowing that the bloody face that Red John had left, still stained his bedroom wall and he could not rid himself of it.

"Patrick Jane" said a voice from behind him "I have been waiting for you"

Jane stood motionless next to the door.

"Shut the door" the voice demanded. Jane obeyed and shut the door; with a click he turned to face the voice. Anger welled up inside him as he realised who it was.

"Red John" he said, his tone livid.

"Well I was passing through so I thought I'd pop by, say hi," said Red John, mocking Jane "How's the wife and kid?" he smirked.

Jane did not move, he wanted so badly to kill Red John right here but he knew better than that. Red John Pushed Jane to the ground.

"Stay there" he said with ersatz.

As slowly as he could Jane pulled his phone from his pocket, carefully, so that Red John didn't notice. He thanked God he had added Lisbon to his speed dial. He placed his thumb over the speaker so that Red John would not here her speak as she answered.


"Hello, Jane, Jan…" Lisbon was cut off by the voice of Red John; she knew immediately to make her way to Jane's house. She just hoped she would get there it time. What puzzled her most was what Red John wanted with Jane anyway? She knew that he had killed his family but what did he want Jane for? The answer was at Jane's house and she knew she had to get there, fast.


Red John walked to Jane; knife in hand "Don't pull any stunts or your dead"

"Aren't you going to kill me anyway?"

"Well yes. But I am going to have a little fun first"

"But that would break the pattern"

"Oh you aren't going to be part of the pattern. In fact I am going to kill you in a completely different way to the others"

"Well I am, honoured to be so singled out"

"Don't be coy with me Patrick Jane, it isn't going to get you anywhere"

"My apologies" said Jane with a sarcastic tone; his anger was now brimming.

"You should show me more respect," said Red John as he lifted Jane's chin with the tip of his knife. With one swift movement he cut Jane's chin. Jane winced but did not give in, he did not want to seem weak to his captor.

"Yeah, and whys that?"

"I killed your wife and child. I have kill many more people and I haven't been caught" Red John paused, he took in Jane's demeanour "well you don't seem to fear me"

"No I don't" replied Jane as he gave Red John an enraged look.

"All that anger that I see isn't good for you Patrick" Red John paused and smiled at Jane mockingly "it'll get you killed"


Lisbon pulled into Patrick Jane's driveway, her heart raced as she began to worry that she was to late. She got out of her car swiftly and speedily made her way to the door. She did not wait to see if there was talking from inside, there was no time. She kicked down the door without a seconds thought.

"Put down the knife" shouted Lisbon as she pointed her gun at Red John.

"Agent Lisbon. How nice of you to join us" Red John paused, he looked at Jane "I told you not to pull any stunts. You shall be punished for this"

"I said put down the knife," shouted Lisbon again.

"Come on sweet heart. Do you really think I would only bring a knife with me" Red John pulled out a gun from his pocket, pointing it at Jane's head he took control "You put down your gun and Jane's brain does not become a feature on the wall"
