A/N: Thought of this last night and after some thinking decided to write it down. If I continue this will be a lot more chapters. Read it and tell me if you would be interested!
"So what do we got?" Lisbon asked, dying for another coffee. Rigsby cleared his throat. "Alan Dickhoff, 37, found dead by his neighbor, a girl in the opposite apartment. It's a bloody mess boss. Half of the place looks ransacked and everything is as filthy as can be. The landlord says the guy just moved in here two months ago." "Guess he wasn't the homey type of guy, huh. " "Nope, he also was arrested for possession once and minor theft. That was five years ago."
Lisbon looked around. "Where the hell is Jane?" "Van Pelt called him, he should be here any minute." As if on cue Jane's blue Citroën came round the corner. "Speaking of the devil." She muttered under her breath.
Jane stepped out of the car, wide smile on his face. He stretched his back and smacked the car door shut. "Good morning Lisbon, haven't had your third coffee yet, huh?" She gave him a death glare. "Shut up, Jane." "My, are we a little grumpy today." "Keep talking and you just might find out."
She repeated Rigsby's words to Jane. "I just wanna talk to the neighbor who found him. Are you coming?" "Sure, although I'm quite sure this will be a very boring case. " She ignored his last statement and knocked on the door.
It was opened by a young woman carrying a toddler on her hips. "Miss Anders? I'm agent Lisbon with the CBI." She showed her badge. "And this is…" Jane was gone, his footsteps disappearing down the stairs were the only thing betraying he was ever there. She gave the woman an apologetic smile. "Excuse me, I'll be right back." The woman cocked an eyebrow, but shrugged and went back inside.
"Jane!? Jane?!" She found him pacing on the backside of the apartments, in the courtyard. "What the hell, Jane! You can't just leave me standing there. What is wrong with you?" He grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her. "Lisbon." His voice was hoarse and he looked genuinely scared. "Look into my eyes, are my pupils dilated?" She was confused as hell. "No, why?" Frantically he ran his hands through his curls. "That woman, we just saw, describe her to me!" "Jane?" "Please Lisbon, describe her to me." "She had long brownish hair, blue eyes. She wore a three piece navy blue suit with a blue and white striped blouse." His face fell and he looked utterly defeated. He sunk to the floor.
She sighed and let herself down next to him. "Jane, talk to me, please." He swallowed and for a minute she swore she could see tears glister in his eyes. "She's Angela." Lisbon didn't think she heard him correct. "I'm sorry, what?" He spoke a little louder this time. "She's Angela." Lisbon didn't understand. "What do you mean, she's Angela?" He buried his head in his palms. "She looks exactly like Angela, when she was about that age. She's what, 25?" "26." "She's the spitting image of Angela."
For a second Lisbon didn't know what to say. "Maybe she's related to her, it's the only logical explanation." He laughed, a sound so hollow it scared her a little. "Related…sure. No Angela didn't have any family besides Danny." "Maybe she's a niece?" "Lisbon stop trying to find a logical explanation. She's probably here because Red John send her to torture me, we should just arrest her and try to see if she will tell us anything." She was taken aback by his grimness, but recovered. "You know I can't do something like that, I have no grounds to hold her on. She's not even a suspect in this case,…yet." She laid a hand on his back, wishing there was more that she could do. "Jane, maybe you should just get back to the office and wait there. We can do research on the woman later. I'll let Van Pelt run a background check." He jumped up, determined look on his face. "No. Let's have a talk with her." She helped herself up. "Jane, right now I don't think that's a good idea." He was already making his way up the stairs again. Lisbon let out a deep sigh. "Lord please help me." She ran after him, just in time to see the door open again.
Let me know what you think!
