The Road trip News
A scorching summer day inside the CBI Headquarters, definitely makes the day go by slow, with paper work, no food in the fridge, and especially slow for the top specialized team led by Agent Lisbon. A sweltering consultant lies down on his favorite couch and fans himself with his sudoku book. Cho, Van pelt and Rigsby sat down and work endlessly on paperwork and wish they all could be the blonde Consultant thinking to himself in the ridiculous heat. The team hasn't had a case since the early spring, and the team and Patrick Jane could use a long break since the last emotional case with Red John. In Lisbon's office she talked to an officer on the crime scene.
"Yes… How far… alright I will enlighten my team members with the exciting information."
Lisbon sighed, and hung up the phone then started to walk to the bullpen.
"Okay, we definitely have new interesting case on our hands. A homicide of two girls and a man out in the wilderness."
" Alright boss, but where in the wilderness?" Rigsby asked with a grin.
"Yeah, because I don't want to see Rigsby again with that short, tight camp shirt on again." Cho explained emotionless, while still staring at the half- filled paper files.
Van Pelt chuckled and smiled at Rigby.
"There was no other sizes, it couldn't be more perfect…" Rigsby whispered sarcastically to himself.
"So you were saying boss?" Van Pelt asked with her usual bright smile.
"So the interesting case part… it's not quite in California, the first case is south and in a National Park, Sequoia then we have to go north east to Utah to another National Park the famous Utah Arches. Then finally we make our way back to the base. Sounds great doesn't it." Lisbon furthered explained.
" Great, That sounds Fantastic! I love road trips." The blonde shot up from the couch.
"Anyway, it's way to hot here. I would love to go on this trip even if it wasn't a case." Jane gave his boyish charm that everyone knew so well when he was going to cause trouble.
Lisbon rolled her eyes.
" Just because this is a different case does not mean you get to try different tricks, Patrick Jane." Lisbon poked him firm on the chest and told him in a stern voice.
Jane shot up his hands.
"Don't worry Mom." Jane confirmed.
"So who's car are we taking, and what equipment do we need?" Cho asked still with the same blunt expression.
"Oh, oh! How 'bout Lisbon's favorite car!" Jane said while raising his hand.
"And whose car is that? Yours?" Lisbon asked disbelievingly
Jane nodded his head.
"Alright, we need another car. Rigsby, how 'bout yours?" Lisbon questioned.
"Sure boss, I don't think we could leave in my car right now because it's so messy, I have to do some serious cleaning to do." Rigsby said while scratching his head.
" Don't worry about it, we aren't leaving until tomorrow morning." Lisbon reassured him.
Rigsby gave a smile and stood up.
"Were taking the CBI RV also right? That's a hot ride." Rigsby asked Lisbon, and Cho nodded and grinned.
" Since we are out in the wilderness we need tents right? I have a lot of supplies for camping, and a large tent, well, only for three." Van pelt shrugged her shoulders.
"Great bring everything you can. Jane please bring your car tomorrow. Oh and Rigsby I guess it's okay about your car we can just bring the CBI RV instead, it can hold the evidence equipment, food and, a tent." Lisbon clarified
"Wait so all the equipment is going in my car?" Jane asked puzzled.
Lisbon gave a sly smile.
"Not all of it is going in your car." Lisbon said proudly and getting ready to go home for the afternoon.
"Liiisbon? Putting some equipment on my roof of the car is so hard to get up there." Jane complained.
That's why everyone is going home early this afternoon, so we can pack and get here early tomorrow so everyone can bring their supplies and pack it into the RV and the top of your car." Lisbon explained.
"Alright. I'll deal with that tomorrow." Jane started to walk to the door
"See you early birds in the morning." Jane said with a smile as he walked out the door next to Lisbon.
