Disclaimer: I do not own The Mentalist because if I did it would have not taken five season for Jane and Lisbon to get together trust me!
"Aunt Teresa! He's not responding!" Annabeth yelled her scream echoing the CBI buliding. Teresa Lisbon came running out of her office to her niece's aid.
"Annabeth back up now!" Teresa pushed her niece away from her motionless father laying on the ground. Annabeth went to the side watching her Aunt doing CPR on her father, Teresa's consultant Patrick Jane was now standing next to Annabeth. Tears were streaming down the teenage girls face. Wayne Rigsby was on the phone calling an ambulance, while Kimball Cho was clearing the bull pen of people. Grace Van Pelt was now standing on the other side of Annabeth.
4 months later
"I'm not going!" Annabeth yelled at her Aunt as they pulled into the high school parking lot.
"Yes you are!" Teresa said parking the car and getting out. Annabeth reluctantly followed her Aunt into the building.
The place was full of students as the first bell had not rung yet people were everywhere, sitting in the cafeteria or in the halls or the courtyard. As the duo were walking to the main office one of the students screamed.
Teresa looked around the large open room to find a group of students gathered in a circle screaming and crying. Suddenly four people came running out from the office. Teresa had recognized that two of them were the school's Deans the other two were the Vice Principal and Principal.
"Someone call 911!" One of the Deans yelled into his walkie talkie. Teresa ran over to the scene followed by Annabeth.
"Annie did you just see that!" A girl with dark red hair said walking up to Annabeth.
"No, what happened?" Annabeth answered the girl.
"Well Ivan Luke and Roland Becker were fighting, Ivan was getting all mad at Ronald because Ronald and Christina got together and Ivan doesn't want his daughter around Ronald, he was telling Ronald off and telling him to stay away from Christina and his daughter." The girl said while the group of students began to grow.
"Then Christina showed up and she was trying to separate both of them until for no reason Ronald fell to the ground and blood was everywhere, the scary part is that Christina was holding onto Ivan the whole time, Ivan didn't even touch Ronald." The girl said now standing on her tip-toes.
"Is he dead?" Annabeth said grabbing the girl and pulling her threw the crowd following her Aunt.
"I think so." The girl said once they came to to hole in the circle which surrounded Ronald Becker's dead body.
"CBI." Teresa said holding up her badge as she approached the lifeless body on the ground.
"So who's that?" The girl said to Annabeth as they were standing watching Teresa talk to the Deans.
"She's my Aunt, I've talked about her before Zella." Annabeth said crossing her arms.
"Oh she's the one who works for the CBI and you think her and her consultant should get together right?" Zella said smiling also crossing her arms. Annabeth laughed at the last part of Zella's statement of her Aunt.
"Yeah that's her." Annabeth smiled.
"Why is she here with you?" Zella shifted on her feet still having her arms crossed.
"She's my guardian now." Annabeth sighs the smile disappeared from her face.
"Oh right sorry about.." Annabeth cut Zella off.
"Stop, I know your sorry about my Dad you don't need to be!" Annabeth said covering her face with her hands then running her hands threw her hair.
"Okay." Zella sighed. "So do you think we are going to get off of school because of this?"
"Yeah I guess, I mean the whole school is going to be swarmed by cops and the press." Annabeth said looking down at the floor.
"Uh huh, so do you think your Aunt is going to tell us what's going on?" Zella said looking at Ronald's body that was now covered by paper towels so no one could see it.
"Maybe, she never really talks about her work with me."
"Well maybe this time she will, you know because this happens to be your school."
"Could we just stop talking about this Zella, please!" Annabeth frowned and pushed her way threw the crowd trying to get as fair away from Ronald's body as possible, with Zella hot on her tale. As Annabeth was walking she wasn't looking ahead only at the ground, she ran into something hard and fell backwards on her butt. She looked up to see Patrick Jane looking down at her.
"Hello there Annabeth." Patrick smiled and extended his hand to help her up.
"Hey." Annabeth grabbed his hand helping her up. Zella came up behind Annabeth trying to pull her away.
"Annie, let's go! He could be like a bad guy or something, he could have killed Ronald." Zella kept pulling on Annabeth's arm but she didn't move.
"Zella, this is Patrick Jane he works with my Aunt, Patrick this is my friend Zella Wingsworth." Annabeth said taking Zella's hand off her arm.
"Oh sorry, Hello Mr. Jane!" Zella smiled.
"Sorry, but please don't call me Mr. Jane." Patrick smiled back. "Annabeth were is Lisbon apparently CBI has taken over a case here."
"She's over by the crowd of students, where is Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt?" Annabeth said looking around for the rest of the team.
"They were running late, but they will be here soon." With that Patrick left getting lost in the crowd of teenagers and teachers.
"Well he's hot!" Zella said still staring off into the crowd.
"Yeah well he's emotionally unavailable and physically too for that matter." Annabeth said taking out her phone seeing she had one new message.
"What do you mean emotionally and physically unavailable?" Zella said redirecting her attention to Annabeth.
"Well physically because I want him to end up with my Aunt and emotionally well his wife and daughter were murdered like 10 years ago and he still hasn't moved on." Annabeth says while reading the message from an unknown number.
"Oh that's sad." Zella says frowning then a mischievous smile appears on her face. "We should get your Aunt and Patrick together we could be like match makers but for cops and consultants!" Annabeth lets out a giggle but still focusing on the message.
"Yeah that should be fun!" Annabeth smiles then hands her phone to Zella."What do you think this means?"
Zella looked at the message, all it said was Did you enjoy the show?
"I have no idea maybe it's just the wrong number don't worry about it." Zella gives Annabeth back her phone.
"Alright, are you really serious about setting up my Aunt and Patrick?" Annabeth says crossing her arms again.
"Yeah, I think they would be so cute together." Zella smiles at the thought.
"Wait till you see the way they look at each other!" Annabeth laughs again.
"What's so funny?" Teresa says walking up behind Annabeth, Patrick following close behind.
"Nothing." Both girls say in unison.
"Alright, well I was just informed that school is cancelled until this case is solved so that means you have to come to CBI with Jane and myself." Teresa says.
"Yeah that's cool can Zella come with us, I promise we won't get in the way!" Annabeth smiles at Zella both girls know this is the golden opportunity they needed to get Patrick and Teresa together.
"Sure as long as it's okay with her parents." Teresa says glancing at the door as the rest of the team walks in.
"There cool with it, they always tell me to get out of the house every once in awhile." Zella smiles at Teresa.
"Okay let's go." Teresa started walking out the door as Cho called, "Hey Boss were ya going the body's over here."
"I've already seen it, and for all three of you being late, you guys are lucky enough to fill out all the paperwork and get the statements form all the kids that saw what was going on, and by all the kids I mean every single one." Teresa smiled as she walked out the door. All three detectives groaned as they watched Teresa, Patrick, Annabeth and Zella leave the school.
