Hey this is the first story I have ever written hope you like it feel free to let me know if the characters are out of character or anything like that excuse the language I tried to limit it hope you enjoy =)
It was 10:30 am when a blue citron pulled into the small parking lot of a road side produce store the engine was shut off and an average sized man climbed out he had sandy colored hair, and he wore a light blue shirt, that was covered by a darker blue vest, which was also covered with a slightly lighter blue jacket, with even lighter blue stripes on it, his pants were the same color of his jacket and they were accompanied by brown lace shoes. As he rose to his feet he took off his jacket to sling it casually over his extended arm. He began to walk amongst the produce to inspect it, occasionally he would pick something up raising it to his nose to smell it to see if it was worth buying, well meanwhile back at the Californian Bureau of Investigation Lisbon was walking around the department to find out where he was when she couldn't find him she decided to call him on his mobile she dialed his number then waited for him to answer.
When she heard him take the call she spoke, "Jane where are you?" She demanded, sounding just a little annoyed,
"I'm taking a drive I was going to tell you but you would probably still be asleep so I didn't bother disturbing you." He replied calmly, as he continued to walk amongst the fruits and vegetables,
"Jane are you nocturnal or something don't you ever sleep?" She asked reasonably,
"I ran out of medication so here I am." He replied quietly,
Noticing she had hit a nerve Lisbon backed out of that conversation and back to her previous one,
"What are you doing tacking a drive so early in the morning then?" She asked,
"I'm buying fresh produce clears the senses and chase away the blues." He replied, almost poetically,
"Why do you want to know where I am for?" He asked innocently,
"Because I get nervous when I don't know where you are without me to keep an eye on you, you usually freely tell people their lying, or their doing something else that they don't want any one else to know about, so they hurt you or you get the department in a whole lot of trouble." She explained, making sure she didn't miss a thing,
"You haven't had you're coffee this morning have you Lisbon?" He asked, Changing the subject,
"No I haven't how did you know"? She demanded, sounding a little shocked that Jane could find what she did and didn't do jut by talking to her over the phone,
"Because you're voice is still slightly drowsy, probably because you slept in this morning, and you sound a bit hoarse because you didn't drink anything yet." He explained,
"You know Jane you're lack of sleep is making you weird you wouldn't have a clue if I slept in this morning or not." She corrected, refusing to accept what Jane had said,
"And you get slightly irritable when you haven't had you're coffee." He added quickly,
"You know what you just behave and buy you're fruit and leave me out of you're little physic readings." She ordered, as she hung up and slammed her phone on her desk and rose to go get a coffee,
After his discussion with Lisbon he walked up to the counter were the shop owner was lining up fruit "Excuse me do you have any red delicious?" Jane asked,
"Si we have red delicious how many do you want?" The shop owner asked enthusiastically,
"Make it four, I'll have one now you can pack the rest in a brown paper bag." Jane answered as he pulled out a five pound note from his vest pocket ready to exchanged it for the bag of apples the shop keeper then grabbed a small brown paper bag and placed three large apples in the bag and folded the top which was then secured by a strip of tape Jane then handed him the five pound note and retrieved the bag of apples from the counter as he held the other apple is his right hand ready to eat,
As he walked back to his car he took a bite of the apple he bought for himself, and holding the bag under his arm he opened the door and placed it on the passengers seat he then closed the door and walked around to the drivers side and sat on the seat with his feet firmly on the ground, as he sat there eating his apple his mobile suddenly sprang to life with his ringtone.
So placing his half eaten apple on the dash board he retrieved his phone from his jacket pocket, his phone identified it to be an unknown caller so quickly swallowing the apple that was left in his mouth he then flipped the lid and raised it to his ear to take the call.
"Hello?" Jane started, while still in the process of swallowing the fruit,
"Are you Mister Patrick Jane?" The voice asked,
"Yes I am." He answered honestly,
"I have some information regarding red john, I am not sure if I am safe so I need you to come as soon as possible." The mysterious voice continued,
After hearing the name red john Jane became so much more fixated on the voice he was listening to.
"I do not have time to talk now, but meet me at the old abandoned shopping center not far from you're present location just proceed up the road 7 miles and you'll see it you can't miss it." The voice explained, no sooner had it said that then it hung up.
Jane immediately did what he was told he got in the vehicle and started the engine it sprang to life as it reversed out of the parking space and began its journey down the road Jane had his eyes trained on the road making sure he didn't miss a single detail, and 7 miles further he saw the large building that had been abandoned now for some years, it wasn't until he parked on the side of the road and began walking into the shopping center grounds that he saw what shape the building was actually in.
It was a 2 stories shopping center, it also had an underground parking lot, the inside of the building couldn't be in much better shape then the outside the windows had been smashed on the ground floor, and the walls were starting to harbor mold spores for the walls looked unwelcoming and ruined, he continued to walk toward the building just then he thought he caught a glimpse of someone in the underground parking lot he didn't know if going down there was the smartest thing he could do but if it meant getting information on red john he would ignore the dangers.
So as he began to walk cautiously down the sloping decline he inspected it to see if it was indeed safe to walk under a building that could fall on him any minute, but he saw the pillars holding it up were still quite strong so he continued to walk down the ramp until he was on flat pavement it was dark so he continued cautiously but all the caution in the world wouldn't have prevented the turn of events that would soon take place because hiding in the shadows was a figure in a car ready to strike the unsuspecting consultant.
After walking into the unknown, Jane thought that maybe he should contact Lisbon so he retrieved his mobile from his Jacket pocket, but he also thought that if he called her he might scare the person away who was going to give him information, so he returned his mobile to his pocket again as he walked out of the underground parking lot and when he did a car came out from behind the degenerating shopping center and headed straight toward Jane. He turned his head just in time to see the car come up behind him and just then he was flung on the bonnet he struck his head with force and lost touch with reality, and as the car maneuvered slightly Jane limp body was cast over the roof and he went rolling for a few feet until finally lay motionless and battered in the entrance to the abandoned shopping mall and the car sped away in the direction of Sacramento.
