She knew it was a bad idea as soon as he told her what he wanted to do, but she couldn't help it, there was just something about the way his eyes would slightly light up at the prospect of catching a killer. That all she could do was nod her head, and let him get on with his elusive plan, while following silently behind. She knew that it was going to either get her or him into trouble, and then she would be the one that would have to fix all the trouble he caused but she did it anyway.
So here they were sitting in Minelli's office after it all happened. But she did have to admit it didn't go as badly as she thought it would, but still I didn't end well, but then again it never did when Jane was involved. And to be fair he did catch the killer, even if it was someone we didn't want it to be. Lisbon turned her attention back to Minelli.
'so let me get this straight, you and Jane went and got yourself kidnapped, put into a crate, driven into a dessert in the middle of Mexico, managed to get out of it, to then walk into a court room and disrupt a trial, all so that you could question both the judge and the DA. Is that about right?' He voice getting slightly more angry as he went, and all that Lisbon could do was nod her head and look to Jane with a pissed off look, but he simple smiled at her and turned back to Minelli, who just nodded his head stood and then continued.
'Well know that we have that all sorted out, congratulation on solving the murder. It's never a good day when you have to send someone who you have known for years to prison but when you have to you have to there's nothing you can do about that. Now go home guys get some rest and you can finish your reports tomorrow.' And with that he closed the file and put it in his out tray. Lisbon stared at him for a moment, and then turned to Jane, who had already stood and was waiting for her. Still completely in shock, she stood slowly and followed Jane like she always did until they were in her office. Once Lisbon was in her office Jane closed the door behind him and shut the blinds to give them a little privacy in case anybody walked past. He turned away from the door and noticed Lisbon just standing there staring at him. He took a step towards her before saying,
'Hey are you alright.' He locked eyes with her, to show that he was genuinely concerned. She kept the gaze for a couple of seconds, before breaking it and stepping away from him, and moving towards her desk and sitting behind it. She still hadn't replied to his question, and she really didn't want to, as she knew if she lied to him and said she was fine then he would call her a liar and get her to tell him what was really wrong, or she would tell him the truth and have him question her about it, and she really didn't want that, it was a lose-lose situation. So deciding that it was probably best just to tell him the truth she began.
'No I'm not alright. Why must you always do that Jane? You don't even seem to notice what you're doing to the team, what you're doing to me. It's like you don't even care most of the time. Please tell me Jane, why do you do it?' she looked at him again at the end to get the point across. Jane just stared at her for a couple of minutes, taken aback slightly at the honesty she was giving him, before taking a seat opposite her, so deciding that it was probably best to be completely honest back he replied.
'I'm so sorry Lisbon, I didn't mean for my action to make it seem that I didn't care about the team. And most certainly didn't care about you. Because I do care, I care more than I thought possible. Since I came to this team, I've learnt a lot about myself and that all thanks to the team and the most importantly you. But I'm not sorry for doing all the things in a case because usually it catches the bad guys, I'm just sorry that I seem to lose more and more of your trust when I do it.' All through his confession, Lisbon sat dumbfounded at his honesty and wasn't really sure what to say back, but she didn't get a chance to reply as Jane continued.
' but I meant what I said earlier, I will always try to save you, I don't know why, maybe it because I'm usually the one to get you into trouble, but on another level something inside me tells me that I have to do it. And to be honest I don't mind doing it at all.' After saying this Jane rose from the chair and walked around her desk to stand next to her. Lisbon wasn't sure why she did it but she stood and turned to face him, they were so close together that she could feel his breath on her face. They just stood there staring at each other, trying to convey everything they wanted to say to each other but couldn't through their eyes, after a couple more seconds Jane couldn't help himself and he lent forward closing the space between himself and Lisbon.
