This what I feel that would have happened after the cameras stopped rolling hope to get some feedbacks and reviews, good and bad are welcomed. I wonder why Jane wasn't so upset when Lisbon sprained her ankle. (Or wasn't he? )
After Lisbon gave him a piece of her crutch to Jane's toe, he followed her back to her office wobbling. "That hurt Lisbon; just because your foot is injured you can't go around maiming other people." Jane said annoyingly. Lisbon smirked at him and said "Well... I thought that you should experience some of the pain I am experiencing since you are part of the reason I am injured." At this Jane took one step back and gave a look of complete shock and pain which was of course an act since he was laughing inside. "I did not intend for you to be injured, I was just really excited to see gold in the river." "Hmm-hmm" Lisbon said with a roll of her eyes, she was back to doing paper work. Honestly she did not know why even if she spent the last 2 days doing paper work they never seem to completely disappear. There's always a mountain of them she had to accomplish. While she was contemplating her magic mound of paper work she heard Jane say. "Does it really hurt?" With a note of seriousness in his voice. She looked up at him and said "What do you think?" at this Jane's face turned sombre. "You know I can help you with the pain, since it's all in the mind; I can just put you in a light trance and..." she stopped him there. "I have meds for the pain and I really don't want you in my head again once was enough and you really weren't efficient back then." Lisbon said with a triumphant smile she always liked to bring up the few failings Jane had, although could still be considered as a failure if he eventually helped clear her name? "You said you were in pain." Jane said while walking over the sofa he bought her and sitting down. "Nothing I can't handle, I've had worse." Lisbon said distractedly since she was focused on her paper work. She did not see the surprise, pain and anger that flashed through his expression in a nanosecond, by the time she looked back at him he was already composed and had his poker face back on. "Would you at least like me to bring you some tea to relax you? Since your stress with work must be adding on to the actual physical pain you're feeling?" he inquired. "You know what I would love?" Jane closed his eyes seemingly reading her thoughts... "You would like a bear claw and a cup of Joe with 2 teaspoons of sugar." He finished and opened his eyes to see if he was correct he was usually astute to when Lisbon needed her coffee and the bear claw was just to chase away the bitterness. "You got the coffee part right, but I wanted a blue berry muffin." She beamed at him; she really liked it when Jane can't figure her out fully. As to why she does not know.
With that remark he got off the couch and headed for the door, "Be right back with your wish since you are injured I will get you your coffee and muffin. But just this one time... since you did pick up my cane once when I was blind." This made her smile, sometimes Jane could be thoughtful. "Make it 2 muffins please" she called after him still smiling.
Jane was glad for the distraction, what Lisbon said about her getting something worse than a sprain threw him off balance. He knew she meant her father has roughed her up pretty badly to give her a broken arm or leg. But hearing it from her felt like being doused with cold water, he was a father once and he could never imagine hurting his little girl. Now hearing from Lisbon that she was hurt enough to be immune to the pain of a sprain was a bit disconcerting. How does a little girl deal with being physically abused by someone who was supposed to protect her; how did his Lisbon deal with it? "His" where did that come from? Never mind, he was already in line at the corner shop to buy Lisbon her blue berry muffin. When he got to the counter he placed his order and waited for the clerk to punch the amount and Jane paid it. He was out of the store 15 minutes tops. On his way back to the office, he was recapping his field day with Agent Hightower, it was more of an adrenaline rush really being shot at and held hostage at gun point. He knew Lisbon would never take a chance to endanger his life like what Madeleine did although to her credit she really was a good shot but none the less he really could have been killed. Then while he was boarding the elevator his thoughts turned back to Lisbon. He was worried that she was in pain that she wouldn't be able to drive back to her apartment and it was already 4 p.m. so he thought of a proposition. Let's see what she would choose.
