Rescuing the Rescuer
Spoilers: Whole Series (Seasons 1& 2)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Mentalist...wish I did, but most of us do.
Teresa Lisbon laid asleep, resting finally after four days of no sleep. Another child murder and having to control her consultant, Patrick Jane. With the murder caught, everyone went home to their families…at least home to what their families were.
After much ring-around with Hightower, Jane finally pulled the impossible and managed to convince John Magnus, the Director of CBI to allow Rigsby and Van Pelt to work together while having a relationship as long as they submitted a formal statement of their relationship and had to work with a third party if going somewhere together.
Hightower was pissed at Jane but of course impressed by this loyalty to the team, Rigsby and Van Pelt soon rekindled their relationship and each gave Jane a hug in response.
Lisbon had been impressed as well, a bit more by the fact he convinced the Director of the CBI without hypnosis but instead used the 'you'll loose your best team if you split them up' speech then the fact he was so determined to keep the two together.
Asleep without a worry in the world and alone, no one was there to witness the dark figure entering her bedroom in the middle of the night.
A/N: Who is the dark figure...give you a guess?
