"Aha!"
"wow, impressive" Lisbon's words where dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh c'mon, you're just intrigued by my amazing mind reading skills" Jane returned playfully
"Mhm, you just keep telling yourself that" she smiled and rolled her eyes.
"You know its n-" his sentence was interrupted by a ringing noise.
"Agent Teresa Lisbon" she said into her cell phone,
"Mhm"
"why is it-?"
"Ok then, we'll get right on it"
"No problem"
"Yeah sure, bye"
Lisbon put away her phone and turned to Jane,
"we've got a case."
"All the way down in san diego?" Rigsby wined while taking a bite into his meatball sub.
"Yes, whats the problem?" Lisbon retorted.
"Well i think that rigsby-" VanPelt started.
"Nothing, its fine" Rigsby said quickly.
"Oh no i'd like to here what Grace thinks" Jane said with a smirk.
"Well its just that since the last flight we had, wayne has been a bit uncomfortable about flying" Grace said hesitantly.
Rigsby gave an embarrassed look and took another bite from his sandwich.
Jane had a huge smile on his face, because of the fact that Rigsby had a new found fear of airplanes, and because of the fact Vanpelt had used his first name.
"Oh, seriously?" Lisbon said with a smile on her face.
Jane laughed.
"Lets just get going, and no fooling around any of you! lets not miss the plane"
"yeah yeah" jane mumbled following her out of the office.
"20-21-22-23- eh, AH! 27.. B, here we go" Jane found his seat and put his small duffle bag under it.
He took out sudoku book and got comfortable.
'crap' lisbon thought to herself, as she reached her seat and realized who she had to sitt next to. This had to be a joke, why did these coincidences always happen?
"Ahh Lisbon, lost?" Patrick Jane teased.
"Ha ha." she said with not the slightest bit of humor in her voice.
"Actually, im lucky enough to have the seat next to yours" of corse, she didn't feel lucky at all, she just wanted to rest.. obviously that dream had been crushed the second she got to her seat.
All Jane did was smile as she put her bag in the overhead compartment.
"What?!" she almost shouted, irritated at his childish expression.
"Geez woman! calm down, i was only speculating over why you looked so upset"
"well lets see shall we, i haven't slept in 24 hours, im starving and all im going to get on this flight is a bag of expired pretzel, i get the pleasure of sitting next to a human annoyance machine, that disappointingly has no off button!- "
"Okay okay, well, you can sleep during the flight, i can ask for some food from the back, and, excuse me? an annoyance machine you know that hur-"
"SHUSH!"
"fine-fine"
She closed her eyes and was grateful this would all be over in 3 hours, when the speaker came on-
a strong male voice announced, "Hello ladies and gentleman, this is your pilot speaking, we are having minor difficulties" crap "the aircraft in front of us seems to have some technical problems, and will be needing repair. Im afraid we are stuck here till it is removed, i & all of us here are terrible sorry for the inconvenience, the new estimated time of departure is- 2 hours"
Lisbon sighed "SERIOUSLY? im going to be stuck in this seat for over 5 hours."
they heard rigsby groan from the front.
Rigspy, lisbon thought, YES! she could switch placed with rigsby.
She got up and marched toward the front of the airplane where rigsby, van pelt, and cho where all sitting together in the middle. Rigsby complaining about how their could be problems with their plane as well, and that he wanted to get off.
"Hey, anyone of you willing to switch seats with me?" Lisbon said as patiently, and as kindly as she could.
"No way! I hate the back" Rigsby was acting so childish today, she figured a certain consultant was rubbing of on him. "i think i better stay here with him" Grace apologized.
"Cho?" lisbon smiled
"No thanks" he said dryly, turning back the his book.
"what? why?"
"you think i want to sit with Jane for 5 hours?" he also secretly wanted them to sit together, to see what the outcome would be.
"Fine then, thanks a lot guys, stakeout duty for a month, Cho! "
"Okay" he said casually. nothing ever got to cho.
She marched to the back of the plain and buckled herself in.
This was going to be a long night.
They had been sitting their for only 15 minutes and it felt like forever, she groaned.
They sky was starting to darken slowly outside the small airplane window.
Thank goodness they weren't needed in san diego till tomorrow, or she would definitely have to have a nice long chat with the units new boss.
She was so tired, tired of everything that was happening.
She was tired of people leaving, of sam bosco leaving, of course that wasn't his own fault, its not like he choose to die, sad because of their boss, Minelli retiring, tired of them being hurt by red john again.
She always had felt sorry for Jane,
for his family being killed by red john, but never has she felt that same thing inside,
now she had lost bosco to red john, and though it was against every fiber of her moral being, she now too wanted her revenge, but she pushed the thoughts of the months past events aside.
She just needed some sleep, but she was never one to fall asleep easily, just like patrick jane, who was sitting their wide awake, already finshed with the large book of sudoku puzzles.
"Soo.." he started
she rolled her eyes. "what?"
"What on your mind?"
"Stuff"
"that narrows it down"
"what do you want jane?"
"Nothing im just bored"
"Join the club"
"okay, when do you meet?" god he was annoying.
Lisbon pulled out her iPod and pluged in the headphones.
"fine ignore me" jane mumbled.
She closed her eyes and slowely drifted into sleep.
when lisbon woke up, she felt a strange popping sensation in her ears, and their was a weird, empty feeling in her stomach, that wasn't hunger, she realized while she had been asleep the plane has finally taken off. Then she felt something puncturing her head, she opened her eyes to realize she had fallen asleep on jane's shoulder and quickly sat upright, embarrassed.
"Hello sleeping beauty" she blushed.
Jane smirked but made no comment, "Rise and shine, well acutally its 10:00 P.M, so-"
"10:00? thats it?"
"yeah well, you were only sleeping for 1 hour! The plane just took of 10 minutes ago, we're still not all the way up yet.
Lovely, she though to herself, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she had to sit and listen to jane talk for hours till they landed. She could just feel some freak snow blizzard breaking out in san diego delaying their flight even longer, even though it tended not to exactly snow in san diego, ESPECIALLY not at the end of august, but compared to today's events, it wouldn't surprise Lisbon.
"You know, i really love flying" jane announced casually.
Lisbon was caught of guard, "huh?"
"Flying? i love it, i mean.. your up in the air, floating , getting away from all civilization, just .. flying, it so fun"
"Thats great" lisbon said weakly
"Your still tired" their was a hint of compassion in his voice, okay, more than a hint.
"Obviously" she stated
"well, you know if you want to sleep i can-"
"im not letting you hypnotize me jane"
"well fine then, wanna play some cards?" he smirked
Was he serious? oh for goodness sakes,
"Fine"
she had nothing better to do.
"Wonderful" Jane said as he fished the cards from his bag underneith the seat.
"well, i doubt im going to win anytime soon, so i think we should quit" Lisbon said defeated.
Jane laughed," i guess your right"
"Ahh, only 30 more minutes till we land"
she should have been happy about landing, but for some reason she was sad.
She started to feel like what Jane said earlier about flying was true.
She never got a brake, and to be able to just sit their, floating through the air, playing cards, and just, relaxing.. its felt so good. She wanted to sit their forever.. that made her feel weird. She didn't really like sitting around doing nothing, she liked being busy, thats why she hated paperwork, and loved going out and catching the bad guys, but now, something changed. and then she realized it wasn't that she just wanted to sit their, but it was because of who she was sitting next to- Jane.
Wait, what?
How did that happen?
She hated being stuck with jane, he was annoying, arrogant, cocky.. the list just went on. But of course she always liked having him around, he was also funny, sweet, strangely caring, extremely understanding, and always their for you no matter what. Ok, now this was getting weird.
But she just felt SO conformable sitting next to him.
Like they have known each other forever and where best friends.
Though when she thought about it, he was the closest thing to a best friend she had.
And now she just wanted to sit their forever..
floating in the air,
next to patrick jane.
Ok, well thats the beginning!(: Hope it was okay.. next chapter everyone will be stuck in a hotel room together, and Lisbon and Jane will be the last ones up ! well.. im going to write it now.. PLS REVIEW, i'll UD anyway but it would feel like no one likes it and id be discouraged so dont ruin my self esteem people hahaa! yes im playing the guilt card on ya!(:
Thanks for reading ~ANna
