She was sleeping soundly in her bed as the alien crept to her side snuggling up to her. It fell asleep at her side. The next morning she stirred and there was a scurrying across her bedroom floor. She pulled out her gun and whipped it to the direction the noise had come from. There was nothing there. Strange. She returned the gun to it's original hiding place and lied back down closing her eyes only for the phone to ring. She rolled her eyes and got up. She picked up the phone.

'Bolly get down here we need your psychiatry bolloks'

'It's psychology!'

'Same thing!'

She rolled her eyes and put the phone down. She got herself ready and was about to leave when she heard talking in the sitting room. She moved closer the voices getting more clear.

'You shouldn't have gone in there!'

'Oh' a sad voice groaned

'Woody sir…we have a problem…she hasn't left…'

'What do you mean she hasn't left…?'

'She must've heard us…what shall we do Woody?'

'I don't know Buzz. Can anyone think of anything?'

'No Sir!' the soldiers chorused

'No'

'Nope…'

'Sorry'

'Nooooo' said the aliens

She shook her head thinking she was imagining it and left the flat the door clicking behind her.

'She's gone!'

'Soldiers check that'

'Sir yes Sir!

When Alex got to work she sat down at her desk only for two people to enter the room.

'DCI Hunt…where is he?'

'Probably getting pissed but I may be able to help DI Alex Drake…'

'You'll do…I'm agent Lisbon and this is my consultant Patrick Jane. We're investigating a homicide'

'A what…? Do you think she means she wants…'

'Unless you want me to have you suspended then that's quite enough DS Carling!'

'Fine Drake; see if I care!'

'It appears that a serial killer Red John has come here…'

'Nice, I'm sorry to hear about your wife and child Mr Jane'

'Meh'

'Right so what do you have on him?'

'Killed roughly eleven women and Jane's wife and child…as far as we know he came here and he also has a trademark he leaves at each crime scene; a smiley face on the wall in the victim's blood…'

'Nice!' she said sarcastically

'Bolly! Nice to see you joined us today! Who're the cling-ons…he one you picked up last night?'

'That's disgusting Guv and NO! This is agent Lisbon and Mr Jane from….er where was it?'

'CBI in Sacramento…'

'Where?'

'California…'

'Where?'

'America! For Christ's sake Guv you really need to learn the countries!'

'What for it's not as if I'm going to use it any point!'

'Try now!'

He pulled a face of disapproval and she rolled her eyes.

'Sorry about him he has some weird obsession with asking me that'

'Don't worry about it it's normally Jane that gets it!'

'Yeah well that's just my tactics'

'They're not tactics they're you getting on mine and others nerves!'
