Hey!
I was asked to do that and I hope readers will like this. I apologize in advance for all the mistakes I'm going to make here but don't hesitate to correct, it could be great for me to get some advise from real English-speaking people!^^
Wow! That was close! A huge vaccination campaign had been started in the whole department, two weeks ago. Hopefully Lisbon had never actually booked a day off in 1 year so she decided to pretend to be sick and then she said she had to much work to avoid the dreadful injection that she hated so much. Even if she could be sick then, she prefered that to the awful sensation of being pierced by the needle, especially when it was around the shoulder.
No one had a doubt about it, because she had got an ability - certainly from experience - to lie, especially when it was about hiding her weakness and her fear from people.
The vaccination period was now over, she could finally breath, a great relief eliminating all the fear. She now thought she was strong, and invulnerable, she wasn't close to anyone after all. And this, since many years. Even though, sometimes it made her feel like shit, she felt lucky when epidemies, like flu's one, were spreading in Sacramento.
Finally safe! She could walk down the corridors whithout being worried by Hightower et work peacefully! Well, only when Jane didn't get her into hot water...
The team had a case that - even though Jane's intuitions turned out to be true - was much more complicated than all what they've seen until then.
Indeed, the murder of the high dignitary Gandha seemed to be shoving the bases of an institution that was taking care of worldwide's security, which was pressuring them. They had to be careful but also efficient. The political side of cases annoyed Lisbon but she knew that the reputation and the future of CBI depend on the way of dealing with it and about the damages that this bloody case could do on the ONUs image. The permissions and the mandates were harder to get for Hightower and the main explored leads turned out to be unsuccessful until now, she got snappy and her bad mood affected Lisbon. She had decided to take care of this big minefield by herself, dealing with the technical matters and protecting her team.
Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt were grateful and showed her with some nice things: the coffee, most of the time. It seemed they were able to analyse her cafeine level by a single look on her face's features. They felt it when she was about to snap and did everything they could to calm her down.
"Well, listen, thanks for trying to care about me but i want you to focus on this russian diplomat and his counterpart Saudi. I think they were not best friends at all with our victim, that was what was written on your last report, Cho, right ?"
Cho : - Yeah, exactly.
Rigsby : - Van Pelt to call them but her legendary charm didn't work on them, they don't want to cooperate with CBI apparently.
Van Pelt [weak voice, embarrassed, full of reproaches] : - Wayne!…
Lisbon : - Thanks for this really relevant comment, Rigsby ! I'll see what I can do with Hightower…once again…Rigsby and Cho, get ready to go there, it's our only true lead right now.
Cho : - Right.
Rigsby : - Thanks, boss.
Lisbon: - Van Pelt, keep on looking for informations about these suspects and call your partners if you find anything useful. And also, find out about the ways we have to get around the diplomatic immunity, it has to be known by everyone before the end of the case, in order to get them pay for what they did, even if we have to get them loose their jobs before that, we'll get them!
She had spoken with so much faith and passion that everyone's motivation suddenly increased. They were cheering up. Rigsby and Cho left, with a confident pace and look full of sureness.
