Okay, another fun fic. I don't think it's a Jisbon focused fic, though there will likely be Jisbon inserted.

Chapter One: You know

************************************************************************

Jane hadn't thought it odd the first time. It was normal for colleagues to leave at the same time every once in a while.

But when Cho and Lisbon walked out of the office together (chatting and laughing no less) for the third time in one week, Jane's interest was piqued. He wasn't suspicious, just curious. If he was a bit more observant when it came to the two of them after that...well, it was his job to be observant, right?

So when he was walking by the break room the day after the third occurrence (on his way to put a 'don't worry, be happy' bumper sticker on Minelli's door) and happened to hear Lisbon's voice, he couldn't help but stop just out of sight, leaning against the wall. Okay, it may have been more what she was saying than her voice per se. After all, he obviously heard her voice quite often.

"Last night was great. You were unbelievable, Cho," Lisbon laughed happily. Jane's brow furrowed and he strained to hear Cho's response.

Last night? Cho, unbelievable? What the hell was she talking about?

"Well, when you provide that kind of motivation, my performance will always get better."

Was it Jane's imagination or did Cho's voice actually have a teasing quality to it?

What kind of motivation was Lisbon giving Cho? And just what kind of performance was he talking about?

Jane berated himself for letting his mind slip to inappropriate topics. No way. He heard some shuffling inside and started away from the wall only to freeze at Lisbon's next words.

"See you this weekend?"

They had this weekend off. All of them.

"Of course." Hearing Cho's affirmative, Jane booked it down the hall. He was not in the mood to explain why he was hunched against a wall outside the break room. Even if he could probably pull off whatever excuse he chose. His mind was too bewildered at the moment.

There was nothing going on between Lisbon and Cho. The two most no-nonsense agents on the team. By the book. Dedicated workaholics. Practically Regulation Rangers—if there were such a position, the two of them would already have a badge for it.

So, really, there was a logical explanation for the comment about this weekend. Jane nodded, satisfied. Yes, indeed. There must be a case that needed the team's attention. He flopped onto the couch and waited for Lisbon to pass by, forgetting his plan for the bumper sticker in his vest pocket.

He didn't have to wait long. "Lisbon?"

She stopped and turned to him, expectant yet slightly wary. He smirked, ready to show off his acute mental abilities by illustrating that he already knew there was a case for them—before she could even inform them.

"Where's the new case?"

She looked perplexed. "The new case? Um, no new case, Jane. Sorry."

Oh. Well, that deflated his smirk. He perked up once more. "Is there a conference? A team meeting? Sexual harassment training?"

She raised a brow, slightly amused.

"Noooo," she answered, drawing the word out. "We have the weekend off. Remember?"

Shoulders slouching imperceptibly, Jane nodded. Well, there went those theories. Cho walked into the room and Jane watched as Lisbon tossed the somber agent a small smile.

Okay, something was going on between Cho and Lisbon.
