"Red!"

"No that one was Yellow, Jane!"

"What?"

"Your supposed to say the colour of the word, not the word itself."

"Well I've never played this before…"

"Yeah but you'd think with your knowledge of thi--- SAY BLUE!" "BLACK! NO BLUE!"

"WHY DID YOU SAY BLACK I SAID BLUE!"

"The word was black!"

"RED!"

"Okay now you're just creeping me out."

"No! Say Red!"

"But its green!"

"That's because you just missed the Red one!"

"Oh… RED!" "NOO! You have to say Green!"

Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon had been sitting on the comfy brown couch for atleast an hour, playing on the Nintendo DS Lite that Jane had rummaged from the "Lost and Found" box. The only game present at the CBI was "Doctor Kawashima's Brain Training™ How Old Is Your Brain?" and so far, Jane was proving himself to be pretty crap at it. Every time he got something wrong, Lisbon had to count to ten in her head in order to avoid strangling him there and then. She had the game at home - But Jane had never seen it before in his life.

"Okay, Lisbon, next round… That's just great. Math."

"Come on, we can do it."

"I'm not so sure about that, in my class at school I was--"

"Jane, shut up its started! Quick, write 24."

Jane scribbled down the number 24 on the touch pad. A green tick appeared and the next question popped up immediately.

"Its too fast I don't like it!"

"Live with it, what's 5 x 9?!" "54! NO, NO, NO I MEANT 45!" A red cross appeared as the device read the number 54. Jane lolled his head forward in shame.

"This is an easy one, come on. 2 x 4."

Jane scrawled the number 8 down so fast the pad nearly set fire. Unfortunately, the tiny computer read it wrong, therefore bringing up the number 6. Lisbon pulled a face.

"We didn't write that?"

"Damn right we didn't, what's going on?"

"No one cares anymore, next question!"

Eventually, the math section finished. Both giving a sigh of relief, Jane and Lisbon relaxed back on the couch. "And people actually do this every day?" Jane asked. Lisbon nodded. "If they're sad enough."

Suddenly, the DS made a noise - sure enough, a new task had popped up. Jane groaned. "Oh yeah I forgot there were three… Well never mind. This is the last one." Lisbon reassured him.

The last task was a memory game, and anybody with a photographic memory could have easily passed it with flying colours. But for those who didn't have a photographic memory, it was quite a hard activity to do. A load of words came up on both the screens, two rows each containing atleast 6 or 7 four letter words. They had about a minute to store them inside their heads, and then 3 minutes to write every single word on there down. It wasn't easy.

"I think "Stop" was on there." A green tick appeared.

"Yeah it was. Was "Vain?"

A red cross appeared uninvited onto the screen.

"Oh, well done Jane."

"That rhymes with Vain."

"Write "Goat" in there, I thought I saw that too."

"I saw "Oval" as well." "Yeah that was in there."

"What about "Frog"?"

"Was it? Try it."

Frog wasn't one of the words, neither was Goat. After 3 minutes was up, out of the 24 words to remember, Jane and Lisbon only managed to remember 8 of them.

"Gosh, we're getting old."

"That was a good game but it sucked."

"Just cos we failed at it…"

"Why else would I be saying this?" Jane shot her one of his smiles.

Lisbon rolled her eyes in a smile back, grabbing the DS to have another go for herself. This was going to be a long afternoon.
