Title: Unlawfully Killed
Rating: T
Characters: Jane, Lisbon
Spoilers: None
Unlawfully killed. That was the ruling on the death of his wife and daughter. Unlawfully killed, as if it wasn't bloody obvious. And Red John was still out there. Patrick Jane could almost see the mocking face, the grin pulled tight, dripping with malice. Whispering his name over and over…
"Patrick Jane, wake up!"He felt the hard slap of a co-worker and stumbled to consciousness. Lisbon was looking down on him, a half-smile traced across her lips.
"Case. The others are on their way."
"Right, good."
"It's good to see you're sleeping, Jane."
"Not for me," he replied grimly.
