A/N: Unfortunately, these characters aren't mine. Fortunately, I am allowed to borrow them and make them how I want them. Enjoy!
I'm going to kill him, Special Agent Teresa Lisbon thought as she got into the federal issued SUV she drove when on duty. "Damn you, Jane," she muttered out loud. Something consultant Patrick Jane said had been prickling at her for the past hour now so she felt complied to check out his hunch. Her other team members were out performing various tasks she had assigned them and Jane was somewhere being smug so Lisbon was on her own for the moment. Which was fine with her.
"No one just disappears," Jane had told them from the corner of Wayne Rigsby's desk he was leaning against, dressed, as always, in his three piece suits. "Most people try to work their way backwards from the time they vanish. But if you start at the beginning you can pick up the trail of things that are important to the victim. Clues to their whereabouts."
Teresa had ignored him at the time, sent her little minions to go play nice and interview the friends of missing 14 year old Lily Browning and went into her office to attack the never ending mounds of paperwork which seemed only there to give her an excruciating headache.
Now she was headed out of town to check out Lily's beginnings in a sense. Lily's mother had been married to the same man since her daughter was 2. According to Mrs. Browning Lily's father had never been in the picture. Lisbon was on her way to talk to the biological father and see what his story was.
What the hell, she thought. There were no other leads.
