Jane laughed as he lay down on his couch.
"Do I want to know what is so funny?" Lisbon propped her hip against Van Pelt's desk and hooked a thumb in her pocket.
"Nope," Jane smiled, eyes closed.
Lisbon narrowed her eyes at him.
"You can quit glaring at me," his eyes were still closed.
She folded her arms across her chest.
"I just told Rigsby he should leave for the day."
Lisbon stood upright, "What?"
"He has had a rough time of it."
"Do you think that was safe, Jane? He spent a good part of the past couple days being hypnotized. I think someone should watch him."
"That's why I sent Grace with him."
He was not surprised to feel Lisbon swat at his foot, "Jane!"
He sat up and donned his most innocent expression, "Is something wrong, Theresa?"
Her hands had dropped to her hips and a storm was brewing on her face, "You sent Van Pelt to take care of Rigsby? In his condition?"
"I am just kidding, Lisbon. She went home about an hour ago, and he just left," he stood and retrieved his jacket from the foot of the couch.
The agent sighed.
"If it will make you feel better, I'll go check on Rigsby tonight."
"No, thank you," she snorted. "I'll go check on him myself."
Jane shrugged.
Lisbon was disturbed to find that Agent Rigsby did not answer his door. Standing at his door, she took out her phone and dialed.
"Cho, here," a distinct voice sounded on the other end.
"Do you know if Rigsby had plans for tonight?" Lisbon considered the lock on the man's front door.
"No, why?"
"He isn't home."
"He has a life outside of work."
Lisbon grimaced at the implication that she did not."
"Thanks, Cho," she hung up and dialed Jane.
"Why, Lisbon," his cheery voice grated on her nerves, "what an unexpected surprise."
"Where is he, Jane?"
"Who?"
Her teeth ground together, "At least assure me he is not going to hurt himself or someone else."
"I can tell you he is in a safe place."
She sighed, knowing it was the best she was going to get.
It was a good thing he didn't tell her Wayne was not going to hurt someone, because the actions that followed were to lead to pain for him as well as others.
