This is going to be my first Mentalist fan fiction, so enjoy!


Patrick Jane walked into the bullpen, whistling a song he had heard earlier. He couldn't help but feel slightly happy, he had gotten 6 hours of sleep that night. For the first time in a long time time he felt refreshed, sure the guilt of losing his family was still there, but it wasn't as painful as other days.

"Why are you so happy?" Rigsby asks, being the first to notice Jane's happy attitude.

"Just got a good feeling about today," Jane answers honestly.

"Well that feeling might change, we got a call, not good either," Lisbon says to her team.

"What happened, Boss?" Van-Pelt asks.

Lisbon sighs, "It would be best if you just found out when we got there, so team lets go!" Lisbon yells.


Lisbon pulls up to the crime scene and Jane jumps out of the SUV the moment the engine is cut. Patrick examines the nice two story house in front of him. It really is a nice house, with white paint and tons of glass windows. It actually has a small resemblance to his house. He quickly pushes the awful memories that threaten to flood him, into the back of his mind.

"Let's go Jane!" Lisbon calls, starting to head inside to house. Patrick follows Lisbon into the house and up to a bedroom on the second floor. Jane steps into the bedroom and is shocked to see it pink, stuffed animals and other small toys littering the floor and bed. Why are they in the room, it should belong to a little girl, oh god.

That's when he notices the girl, covered in blood, lying on the ground, gunshot wound in her stomach. Jane feels his chest tighten when he eyes the girl carefully and notices her eyes and hair. The hair laid out like a fan, a beautiful color of blonde, and her eyes a mix of blue and green, just like his daughter Charlotte's. He also doesn't fail to notice her age, which is around 7.

Jane couldn't help but stare at the scared, lifeless eyes of the girl. Lisbon eyes Jane nervously, she knew seeing the girl would be hard for him. "Jane?" Lisbon asks trying to regain his focus and help him look away from the dead girl.

"Jane, are you okay?" Lisbon asks, her eyes coated in clear concern. "Um... ya," Jane says, shaking his head slightly to clear all the awful thoughts filling his fractured mind. "Are you sure?" Lisbon presses wanting to make sure he isn't close to breaking. "Ya, I um, I'm gonna take a quick walk," he says leaving the house.

Once he leaves the house he heads down the street, not caring that he's walking in the middle of road. Why! Why, would someone kill such a beautiful girl! He thinks angrily, fighting back awful images. Instead he forces happy images of his family into his mind, but every single memory leads to a bad one.

He starts taking deep breathes, trying to force himself to calm down so he can actually help out with the case. After a couple minutes he decides he is calm enough to head back to the house where the awful tragedy happened.

As he is walking he hears a car behind him and moves to the side, considering he was still walking in the middle of the street. Out of the corner of his eyes he notices the car is an old white van that starts slowing down.

Okay, that is defiantly not creepy or anything, Jane thinks ignoring the roar of the van and the strange feeling flowing through his body. With that he begins to speed up his pace wanting to get away from the van behind him. A small amount of fear begins to flood his system as the van speeds up also. The van then starts driving next to him and without thought he pulls out his phone to call Lisbon.

Before he can even dial the first number the side door is thrown open abruptly and a man covered in black clothes and a mask jumps out wielding a gun. The man grabs Jane by the arm roughly and starts shoving him towards the doors, Jane on the other hand starts struggling and fighting the man.

The man growls angrily and brings the gun down onto Jane's head, successfully knocking him out. The man then takes the unconscious man and throws him into the van.


Lisbon and her team finish up at all crime scene and they all head back to the SUVs. Lisbon looks around the cars and sighs angrily when she doesn't see Jane anywhere.

"Where's Jane!" Lisbon yells to the others. "Haven't seen him sense he left the house," Rigsby answers climbing into the one of the SUVs. Lisbon sighs and pulls out her phone dialing Jane's number.

She groans unhappily when it goes strait to voice mail, "Jane we are leaving and we are not waiting for you to come back," Lisbon says to the voice mail before closing her phone. With a sigh she climbs into the drives side of the SUV and heads back to the station.
