It was Monday. The clock hit the 8a.m . Jane being an early riser , as always , was already dressed to leave for work in a few minutes and was sitting on his old bed , reading "The Human Mind" , a thick book that he had bought while roaming around in the market a few days ago. His room was old , but was very well organized. "Beginner's stuff" Jane said to himself about the 1000-paged book. Suddenly his phone rang , it was Lisbon. He immediately picked it up .
"Jane , where are you?"
"I'm sorry Lisbon , I'm just reaching the office , gimme 10 minutes and-"
"No No , you need to come quickly to the St. Roger's Park on 23rd street , we have a case" Said Lisbon immediately , cutting Jane.
"Alright , be right there" Jane quickly locked his room , put his phone in his pocket and went outside. It had been raining last night but now it had stopped , although the sky was still dark. Jane saw kids splashing in the collected water , he smiled to himself , remembering those peaceful days. "Taxi!" he quickly got in the cab. "St. Roger's Park , I'm in a hurry"
Jane paid the driver and quickly got off the cab. He saw that the place was now a crime scene. He saw Cho and rushed to him.
"What do we have here?" asked Jane
"Two dead bodies. Both middle-aged men. Apparently they were friends. There , boss is waiting for you" said Cho addressing to Agent Lisbon. They both walked towards her.
"hmmm" said Jane , analyzing the bodies.
"What took you so long?" asked Lisbon , in a demanding voice.
"Hey I got here as fast as I could , blame the taxi driver!"
"Two middle aged men. Both shot. One in the head and the other one in the chest. The both were lying facing the ground so I think they were shot from the back"
Suddenly Rigsby came rushing towards both of them. "I have some info , boss"
" What were you doing at the police stations Rigsby?" asked Jane
"Gathering information . Their wives had reported them missing a day ago. How do you know?"
"We don't have time Rigsby." ordered Lisbon
"Both of our guys were friends. The one in the black shirt , his name is Eddie Brown. He was a small-time business owner-"
"What kind of business?" asked Jane , interrupting Rigsby
"A pet store."
"The one in the jacket is Scott Nash , worked at a bank. I have addresses of both of them"
"Okay , you two question the people around here to check if there were any witnesses. Me and Jane will got to their residences."
"Alright boss"
Both Lisbon and Jane left. "How the hell did Jane know where I'd been?" Asked Rigsby , in a shocked fashion. "Oh I stopped asking questions a long time ago." replied Cho , maintaining his 'no-emotion' state.
Lisbon and Jane first went to Eddie Brown's house. Lisbon rang the door bell , no answer. She rang it again and this time a beautiful middle-aged Blonde , whose cheeks were wet because of crying, opened the door. "Ma'am , I'm Theresa Lisbon , this is Patrick Jane , we're the CBI . We're here to question you about your husband"
"Oh , come in please"
Jane noticed the house. It was an elegant one. The people who lived here had a sense of art and style. Beautiful wooden door with Golden-colored bronze handles. Inside , a red carpet and some fine art pieces.
"You have quite a sense of art , uh Mrs…."
"Rebbeca Brown" , replied the lady. Lisbon exchanged an angry glance with Jane , as if warning him that this was not the time to have this kind of a talk.
"We're very sorry of your loss" said Lisbon
"Thank you , please sit." said Rebbeca , addressing to the sofa , Lisbon sat but Patrick didn't , she looked at him. "Uh , thank you , I prefer to stand"
"We won't take much of your time" said Lisbon . Rebbeca didn't reply.
"Did your husband knew Scott Nash?"
"Yes , they were college friends. Often Eddie , Scott and Alan would go to long walks in the night , actually a few times In a month"
"Alan?" asked Jane
"Oh , he works at a bank , other than Scott's. He had never done it but due to some work he cancelled to go for a walk with Eddie and Scott last night." Rebecca was trying to control her tears but it was very difficult for her. Jane realizing this offered her a napkin.
"Thanks" Rebbeca replied.
"Okay , we'll be needing his address." said Lisbon "Where were you last night?"
" I was at the home only , when Eddie didn't come , I lodged a report to the police."
"Okay , we'll be contacting you in the future if needed , again , we are sorry , and thank you for your time."
"Goodbye" Rebbeca said , as if nothing was important to her now , it looked as If she was still in shock.
Patrick and Lisbon left. The went in the car.
"So?" asked Lisbon
"So what?" replied Jane
"Don't you have any theories? Anything at all?"
"Well , Rebbeca didn't do it . I sensed the clarity and truth in her words , besides , when you were talking I checked their fridge and their was last night's dinner…"
"Okay , now time to go to Scott's house then." said Lisbon.
