AN: So everything is the same all the way through to episode Red John. The same things still happen to Jane in My Blue Heaven. The only thing that is different is what happened to Lisbon.


Chapter 1

She had to wonder how she got here. She worked hard and she believed that she did all the right things. I guess that is what got her here. What she thought right wasn't necessarily the right thing. She broke the law and several men were dead and another was on the run. That was what she did with her days now. She had a lot of time to think about a lot of things. She thought about the what-ifs and the things she could have done differently. Being in prison gave her a different perspective of what happen in her life so far and what her future is going to be. She spent time working with teens and other inmate to help them turn their life around. She was going to turn her life around when she got out and she knew it wasn't going to be hard since he was no longer a part of his life.

Lisbon was pulled out of her thoughts when a guard came to her cell. "You got a visitor."

Lisbon sat up and was surprise to see the man who had turned her world upside down. "Nice little place you got here. You've been here for eighteen months. Have you heard from Jane?"

"No." She watched as Abbot walked into her cell.

"No letters, no phone calls, no email?"

"You guys read all my mail and listen in on all my calls."

This brought a little smile to Abbot's face. He looked at the little drawings and letter she had put up on her wall. "What about Rigsby or VanPelt?"

"They are planning to visit me tomorrow. Why don't come and ask them yourself?"

"And Cho?"

The mention of Cho stung a little. Cho had been the most loyal of all her agents so when he just stop contacting her and the rest of the team it had hit her the reality of the situation that she was in. "I haven't heard from him in ages. I don't know where Jane is and frankly I don't care."

"No, you two were so close." He said as he look at a picture she had put of the team.

"That was a long time ago." Teresa was getting annoyed with the man. He had put her there and now he was invading her space. "When are you guys going to give up chasing after him?"

"We're the FBI. We don't give up." He said smugly. "That is a nice shell."

"It's a cowrie."

"May I?"

"No, I don't want you touching my stuff."

Abbot chuckled. "You know they say that a shell always carry the sound of the ocean with it. I guess this is the closes you are going to get to an ocean in a while."


"So the digital surveillance company is going well then?"

"Yeah, we've been up and running for fifteen months now and it's already turning a little profit." Despite being surrounded by criminals, Teresa could see that the couple was very happy.

"How are things here?" The red head knew it was the wrong question to be asked but it was already too late to take back the question.

Teresa just gave a little smile to take some guilt away. "Same old prison stuff. Nice and quiet just the way I like it."

"Excuse me." Vanpelt said as she got up to pick up her phone.

"The baby has a slight fever. Grace worries. I try to tell her it's nothing but it's her first baby so you know."

"Yeah," Teresa said, thinking back on her own brothers. They didn't visit her and she couldn't blame them. They did write to her once in a while and that was more than she can ask of them. "Can I ask you something Wayne?"

"Yeah Boss."

"I'm not your boss anymore." Teresa missed that. "Do you ever miss CBI?"

"Yeah, sometime, but Grace and I have been so busy. I haven't had much time to think about it."

Teresa didn't know what to say to that. All she had was time. After they said their goodbye, they went back to worrying about their baby and their clients. She goes back to her cell and it was in those moments when she thinks about him. She wonders where he is, what he was doing, if he was okay. She wondered so much about but most importantly she wondered if he thought of her.

This was her life now. Two years in prison and she had another 3 years to her sentence. She would get a visit from Wayne and Grace once or twice a month. They were busy with their new family and their new company. She would get a few letters from them and a few letters from her brothers.

During her time in prison, she had had receive two visit from Jane's carnie friends. The first time they came they snuck in a letter from Jane. She had refused to take it. She didn't have the right to privacy because she was now a criminal. That meant that during any random search of her cell they could find the letter and it lead them to Jane. She had asked them to not come back. The second time they came was a year later. This time they had snuck in the shell. They understood why she didn't want the letter but they at least want her to have the shell that he had sent. They had told her that they receive a letter from Jane to her once a week for the past year. This time was different from the last time he ran away but just like last time she didn't know if she would ever see him ever again.

"You got a visitor." The guarder said for a second time that week.

"Teresa Lisbon?" asked the man in the suit.

"Yes." The man was young and she could tell that he was fresh from the academy.

"Agent Abbot is requesting your present at FBI headquarters in Austin, Texas."

"What is this regarding?" she already knew the answer but she couldn't be sure.

"I'm not sure. I was just order to bring you to Texas."

Teresa knew that he was a good agent and just the kind that Abbot liked to work with. She couldn't believe that she was him at one point. She used to be a good little agent who did what she was told and was by the book kind of person. She broke the rules and that was why she was in prison. She wonder if Abbot was going to show her off to the new agents and make her the example to the others as to what would happen if the start bending the law.

After changing into civilian clothing and sitting in a three-plus hour plane trip she was back sitting a conference room. She had hope that they would take off the cuffs considering that she was now surrounded by FBI agents but she wasn't as lucky.


Jane quickly got out of the car. He couldn't believe that he was back in America. He stop briefly to look at the FBI Texas' headquarter. This was where he was going to work. It was different from the CBI. It was more modern and so much brighter. He took a deep breath and took another step closer to his new life. He walked through the front doors when he heard his name being called. He looked back and to his surprise he saw and a face from his past.

"Cho." He took a look at the man attire. He was dressed the same as the other two men. "You never cease to amaze me."

"I got it from here." Cho said to the other two men.

"You join the FBI."

"Yeah, finish training at Quantico five months ago."

"Wow, look at you. Congratulation," Jane said honestly.

"Thanks." Jane moved into a hug but Cho just stared at him. Jane deciding that he was going to be getting a well welcome from the man gave him a pat on the shoulders instead. "Follow me this way. Where are your socks?"

"I don't know. Is there a chip in your neck?" Jane asked as he followed the man up the stairs.

"Not that I know of," Cho answered, as he continued to lead the way. "Why?"

"You just don't seem too happy to see me." They were best friend like he was with Teresa but they were still friends. Jane would have assumed that Cho would at least show a little more emotion.

"I am happy to see you. I just wish it was under different circumstances."

"Why's that?"

"I don't think you and the FBI are going to get along very well. I don't think they understand how you operate." Jane could tell there was something more that Cho want to say but he didn't want to push too much. He would have plenty of time to find out what Cho want to say.

"They will loosen up once they get to know me." Jane couldn't help think of Lisbon. Cho stopped and pointed to a door,

"First door on the left." Jane nodded and went where he was told, not seeing the little smile Cho gave him.

He open the door and saw a person sitting with her back towards the door. He didn't have to see her face to know who it was. "Hey."

She quickly turned in her chair. She instantly recognized the man voice. "Hello." She stood up to greet him. He saw that her hand was cuff but he was too excited to see her.

"I missed you." He said as he pulled her into a hug. She couldn't hug him back due to the restraint of the hand cuff.

"I missed you too." He just held her for a moment. He had missed her the most in his time away. She step back, breaking his hold on her. "What's going on? What am I doing here?"

"Sit down." He said as he took the seat next to her. "Tell me about this." He said pointing to her cuff.

Lisbon took a deep breath preparing herself to tell him what had happen after he left. "After McAllister's body was found, the FBI figured out that he was Red John and what you have done. The FBI continued to do some more digging and decided that our team had broken a few too many laws. Since I was the team leader, I took responsibility. There was a trial and I was found guilty and I was sentence to five years."

"I'm sorry Teresa. I'll fix this. Trust me."

Teresa just smiled. "Nice bread."

"Thanks."

"Also thanks for the letters. I didn't get to read them but I knew about them." Before Jane could respond Abbot walked into the room.

"Let's get started." Abbot sat a crossed from them. He opened his file and dropped a small stack of paper in front of Jane. "These are the charges pending against you: homicide, aggravated assault, grand theft auto, etc. You are looking at twenty to life but all of that can go away if you agree to serve as a consultant for the FBI for at least five years.

Teresa looked at Jane. He shrugged his shoulder as if the deal was nothing. He just continued to look as if he did not care for one word that Abbot was saying.

"You will be under my supervision, on federal parole which maybe revolt at any time at my discretion. You screw up, you run away, do anything I don't like and you will be in the jail house. Sign and we have a deal." Abbot pushed a paper and pen towards Jane.

"Interesting," Jane said as he pulled out a napkin from his shirt pocket. "As you are aware, you have already agreed to some terms."

Abbot just smiled smugly. "I didn't agree to those. I sign indicating that I read them."

"Same difference."

"No, it's not. Believe me."

"Firstly, no parole; I'm a free man. Secondly, Lisbon is also a free woman now and has to work with me."

"Jane," Lisbon tried to say something but was cut off.

"You won't need Lisbon. There is already a team assemble."

"That is not negotiable. There are also other stipulations. Easy stuff, I'm sure we can figure them out but none of this applies." Jane said pushing back the contract that Abbot had give him. "This…"

Abbot cut Jane off. "I don't think you are hearing me Jane. You are on U.S soil now. I am the federal government and I am telling you that is a napkin." Abbot pushed his contract back. "This is the deal. Take it or leave it."

"I leave it." Jane said putting back his napkin in his pocket.

"That's too bad. You made a mistake."

Before the discussion could go any farther, a woman walked into the room. "Kim?"

"Agent Fischer," Abbot introduced.

"Kim?" Teresa asked. She had saw the shock in Jane's face when the woman had walked in.

"Agent Fischer," She said answering Teresa question.

"Agent Fischer," Jane said this time.

"Mr. Jane will be going to a detention suite." Abbot said to Fischer.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'll make the arrangement."

Jane pushed his chair back and put his arm up. "I'm not fussy. You have one with a view, I'll take it. If not, whatever, as long as I can make some tea."

Teresa didn't understand what was going on. "Who is she? And what is a detention suite?"

"Don't worry Lisbon it's all under control." Jane said giving Lisbon a wink.

"I'll get an agent to take him." Fischer left the room.

"Jane," Teresa was completely lost as to what was going on.

"Don't worry Teresa. I have everything under control." Jane said as he was being led away in hand cuff.

"Lisbon," Abbot said calling her back to his attention. "You have served your purpose. I will have Agent Cho take you down where a car is waiting to take you back to prison."

Cho walk into the room and Teresa got up. He held the door open for her. He didn't lead her like he would to most criminal. He walked next to her. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You're only doing your job." Teresa said not looking at Cho at all.

"I don't mean about this. I mean…"

"Cho," Teresa stopped and looked at Cho for the first time. "I'm the one who need to say I'm sorry. I understand why you lost contact. I made decision and I did things that cost you your job. So, I'm sorry."

Teresa continued walking and Cho just follow behind. He hoped that Jane came up with an idea to get them out of this mess.
