This is the effect of me in pain.*lol* I haven't been feeling well lately, but this idea wouldn't let go. It's stuck in my head. I am aware that I have to update my other stories, but that will have to wait until my headaches stop. I'll stop blabbering now. Hope you like. All mistakes belong to me, blah, blah, blah. I don't get why they keep saying they see each other like brother and sister. That is so wrong. Lol (Doesn't Lisbon look really pretty on the 3x10 promo? Love her hair.)

Thank you Laura for the title. You are the best!

Disclaimer: I do not own the show. There I said it! Happy?

******THE MENTALIST******

"Hey, everyone." Jane came strolling in and greeted everyone with a big smile. Of course who he wanted to see was Lisbon. Not that he would tell anyone, especially to her.

"Hey Jane." Came three voices.

"So, why do you think Boss is late" Rigsby asked while trying to swallow a donut. Grace gave him a *don't talk with your mouth full* look.

"Lisbon isn't here?" Jane asked from his couch. It was really unusual for Lisbon to not be here before everyone else. She was a workaholic. Work was her life. Where could she be? More importantly, with whom? Not that he cared, it was just pure curiosity. At least that's what he told himself.

"Nope. She called in to say she was gonna be late. No idea why." Grace said.

"Maybe she had some errands to run." Cho added.

"Mmmm... Maybe." Jane said in a soft voice. He was obviously thinking it through.

"Maybe she had some company last night and..." Rigsby started speaking.

"Or maybe you could mind your own business!" Came a voice from behind him.

"Bo... Bo... Boss?" He muttered turning to look at her then at Grace and back at his Boss.

"Bo... Bo... Boss what, Rigsby?" Lisbon asked. She raised an eyebrow at him and waited for an answer. Not getting one she smirked and headed for her office. It was fun messing with Rigsby.

"Nice one." Cho smirked and Rigsby glared at him. Grace couldn't help smiling as she went back to checking her e-mail.

Jane on the other hand stood up and followed Lisbon. He was not Rigsby, therefor, he was not giving up until he got some answers. And they better be good enough to satisfy him. Lisbon seemed a lot happier today and he wanted to know why. It wasn't like her to just let Rigsby go without chewing him for awhile then spitting him out. She simply let it go. Just like that. Of course, if it would have been him the one making those comments, he would be dead by now. Something was up.

"Where were you and why?" Jane got straight to the point. No point on waisting time.

"Excuse me?" Lisbon turned around to look at him after dumping her stuff on top of her desk.

"I want to know why you were late?" Jane crossed his arms.

"Because I can." She responded.

"Yes, but why?"

"Why what?"

"Why were you?"

"Why was I what?"

"Stop that."

"Stop what?"

"That!"

"That?" She shook her head and smiled.

"I don't think is any of your business, Jane. So drop it." She sat down on her chair and turned to her computer to start it up. She was ignoring Jane.

Drop it. Did she not know who she was talking to? This was him. Jane! He couldn't drop something. Not knowing only made it even more appealing to him. He couldn't control himself. That only picked his interest further more. How can he let something go? Especially when it came to her. He frowned. She was ignoring him. How dare she?

"It is my business, Lisbon."

"How so? Please do enlighten me. I am interested on how my personal life concerns you."

"Well, for starters, you are my friend." He smiled at her. "I'm worried about you. Who knows what can happen to you if you get involved with the wrong person."

She laughed at the irony. "Pardon me, but if that were true, I can take care of myself. Thank you, but no thanks."

Jane frowned again. This wasn't working. "Yes, I'm well aware of that." He stayed quiet for several seconds. They were having a staring contest. "Just tell me who you were with!"

"Fine. I went to the airport to pick up my brother James. Happy?" She stood up.

"Yes." In more ways than one. It was a relief to know that she wasn't with another guy. Not that he cared. It was only brotherly concern, surely.

"He's actually coming here during lunch. He is here on a business trip and I'm happy to see him." She smiled.

"What a relief." He muttered.

"What?" Lisbon asked.

"That's a good thing." Jane quickly said.

"So, do I get to meet him?" Jane asked with a smile.

Lisbon let out a puff of air. Obviously thinking if it was a good idea for them to meet. Which in turn made Jane smile brighter.

"I guess." She replied. Seeing him smile only made her smile, too.

"Tessie!"

Lisbon was standing right next to Grace's desk when she heard her brother calling her. He always called her by that nickname. Tessie. With a huge smile on her face she headed his way.

"You're early." Lisbon commented while she was being embraced by her brother.

"I couldn't wait to see you, again." He let her go, but kept close distance. "The meeting was cut short. I decided to come here and surprise you. Surprise!"

"It's not really a surprise when I knew you were coming James." She teased.

"Tessie..." James whined. God, he reminded her of Jane when he did that.

By now, Jane had risen from the couch and was headed her way. Smiling like no other.

"Are you gonna introduce us, Lisbon?" And by us, I mean ME!

Lisbon turned around and looked at Jane with an annoyed impression. Here we go, again.

"Um, yeah. James," She turned to her bother. "This is Patrick Jane. My team's Consultant."

"Nice to meet you. I heard nothing about you." James said.

Jane frowned. Did she not talk about him to her family? That was a first. Everyone liked talking about him. Whether it was a good thing or bad, but they talked. How could she...

"I'm kidding, dude. She talks about you all the time."

"Does she, really?" Jane asked while glancing at Lisbon. This time, a big mega smile on his face.

"Do not!" Lisbon defended and James laughed.

"Mostly about him Tessie." James argued. He was having fun teasing her. Always had. Ever since they were little.

"Yeah, well." She paused, thinking her words through. "Mostly complaints."

"True." James agreed. Jane laughed and Lisbon looked away.

"Come along and meet the rest of my team." She pulled him towards the bullpen, meanwhile ignoring Jane.

After meeting the Team, a glare from Rigsby because he flirted with Grace and a couple of jokes from Jane; James invited everyone out for lunch. Jane agreed before he had finished asking and the others after he had finished.

"I want to see your office before we leave Tessie."

"Come on, that way I can lock the door afterwards." And they headed of to her office.

The rest of the team went back to their desk to collect some things. Grace grabbed her purse and followed Rigsby to wait by the elevator for their Boss and her Brother. Rigsby was a little grumpy. Jane and Cho were left behind.

"What do you think?" Asked Cho, signaling to Rigsby and Grace.

"I think someone is jealous of Lisbon's brother." Jane said while laughing a bit.

"Yeah." Cho agreed. "He wasn't the only one." He pointed out, smirking.

Jane stopped laughing and turned to look at Cho with a frown.

"What do you mean?"

Cho raised an eyebrow. In a manly way.

"Come on Jane. Don't act dumb."

"I don't know what you mean."

"It really doesn't look good on you man." Cho added.

He waited for Jane to say something, but he never did. Could Jane really be that clueless when it came to his own feelings? Oh, Brother, Cho thought.

"You were jealous when you didn't know where Lisbon was. Admit it."

"I admit no such thing!" Jane defended himself. He was not jealous!

"Come on, just admit it." Cho argued in a low voice, just like Jane.

"I.. I.. No! You are way off my friend." Jane laughed, nervously.

"Whatever you say man." Cho rolled his eyes.

"No, not whatever I say. I was not jealous!"

"Ok, you fooled me." Cho added with sarcasm.

Jane was not liking were this conversation was going. He did not see Lisbon other than as a colleague or a friend. And Cho was not making any sense, whatsoever.

"I've seen the way you stare at her ass Jane."

Jane was speechless. He did not! After a long pause and a very mean stare to Cho, he finally was able to get his ability to talk, back.

"I do not! … Let me just tell you that I see Lisbon as a sister."

"Really?" Asked an incredulous Cho.

"What kind of weird family raised you?" He smirked and headed towards the elevator, leaving Jane behind.

"Jane, are you coming?" Lisbon asked him as she came out of her office.

Jane had been thinking it through. He needed to clear some things. Why would Cho say such a thing? Lisbon was a beautiful woman, but he was not attracted to her. Right?

"Jane?" She asked again. It was obvious he was thinking of something else.

"Yeah." He snapped out of it and followed.

"Tessie, I have a surprise for you." James said.

They were all sitting in an out door table to Lisbon's favorite restaurant. The view was really pretty, it was no wonder why she liked it. The atmosphere was great. They were all chatting along while waiting for their food.

"I wonder what it is?" Lisbon asked with sarcasm. It was so like James to have as he so called them, "Surprises."

James smile grew. "I think you will like this one Tessie."

Jane and the others were enjoying the chit chat, a lot. It was fun to see their Boss so relaxed. Especially Jane. He was having a blast. He had discovered that he shared the same humor as James. It was also something to tell Cho about. That only proved that he saw Lisbon as a sister.

"Ok, what is it?"

"You have to close your eyes first."

"James..." She warned and Jane laughed.

"Please, Tessie." James smiled at her.

"Fine." She gave up. She could never say no to him. Especially when he looked that excited.

So she waited for her surprise. "What the...? She felt a hand cover her eyes from behind her. Was this necessary? She had already closed her eyes. And who was the person who did so?

"Who is this?" She asked, bringing her hands to remove the one covering her eyes. She could here James laugh.

"Hello, Beautiful." Came a voice she hadn't heard in a long while.

Jane was waiting for her to kick the person who called her Beautiful. Who did he think he was? Apparently he didn't know Lisbon that well to know she did not like to be touched by strangers, or anyone that wasn't related to her.

Lisbon stoop up like if she had been burned and just stared at the tall and handsome man.

Beautiful? Rigsby mouthed to Cho.

This is what Jane had been waiting for; A show down. Any minute now, she would kick his ass. Jane smiled.

"Don't I get a hug?" The man asked.

"Jack!... You're back." She smiled.

This was not what Jane expected. Who the hell was Jack? And why was he calling his Lisbon, beautiful?

Lisbon was now being held by another man. A very handsome man at that. In a long hug. What was going on?

Cho looked over at Jane and smirked. Jane's smile fell. This was not happening.

***THE MENTALIST***

Hope you like the first chapter. Do you want me to continue?

I just can't stay away from a jealous Jane. He is like that piece of chocolate cake that you know you shouldn't eat because it has to many carbs, but you still eat it. Then you feel guilty, but not that much because it was delicious. Yeah, like that. Darn. Now I want cake. This is what medication does to me... lol

Please Review and tell me what you think.
