The door was closed.
It was never closed, with all the running and excitement of that bounding girl, the door was never closed; and yet it was. Patrick Jane reached out his hand and gripped the doorknob as he slowly turned it. He pushed open the door and gasped.
They were dead.
His wife and daughter were dead and staring at him, was his face. Bloody and smiling, Red John stared back at him and laughed. The dripping sticky blood that had been used as paint was smeared above of what remained of Patrick's life. Patrick dropped to his knees and wept.
It took two hours before he had enough mind to call the police.
"My family is dead." was all he managed to say before the tears welt up in his eyes again.
At first the police at Patrick's phrasing over the phone, suspected him, but as soon as they caught sight of the now infamous smiley face, they quickly changed their minds.
They tried their best to ask him questions but they didn't understand that Patrick Jane wasn't there anymore. He just stared and soon an ambulance came to take him away.
A/N: Okay, this is cannon and will contain some spoilers; mainly for season 3-4. However, up until Chapter Four everything "could" have happened off-screen. Any comments would be welcome! And if you want to point out any inaccuracies I would really appreciate it! R&R :D
