A/N: Couldn't help but be inspired. That was the best promo I've seen in a long time.
And I know it's not the most original title.
Spoilers: The awesome season 6 promo from the 27th August 2013 (just to clarify for future reference).
Disclaimer: It's been almost six years and I still don't own it.
"I'm sorry Patrick, Teresa can't come to the phone right now." That voice. The blood ran cold in his veins. And though he would rather not he couldn't help but think that the last conversation he'd ever have with Lisbon had been an argument.
He'd called to apologize, but now he'd never have the chance too. He shouldn't have let her run off by herself in that state, what had he been thinking. Fact was, he hadn't. Whenever Red John was in the picture his higher brain functions went out the window. And right at this point he couldn't decide what was worse. Losing love the first time because of stupidity or the second time when he should have known better. He felt a familiar despair creeping up on him, reaching out with its gnarling fingers, hanging on to his clothes and skin like tiny hooks, pulling him down, and choking any remaining life out of him.
He staggered. But just as he was about to fall he heard her voice. "Jane." He looked in the direction of the sound to make sure he wasn't imaging stuff. He wasn't.
She was coming towards him with a concerned look in her eyes. "Are you okay Jane?"
"Me?" He asked in surprise. "Forget about me. Are you okay? Where were you?" His voice shook with a mixture of fright and anger.
"I'm fine. I was just..." She didn't get to finish her sentence before he had his arms around her and she was embraced in a tight hug. With his face deeply buried in her hair she heard him sigh in relief. As they pulled apart she looked into his eyes, he looked scared, terrified even. All previous disagreements evaporated, vanishing into thin air. Something bad must have happened while she was out. For some reason he needed reassurance that she was okay so she gave it to him again. "I'm fine Jane. See. Everything is okay..." As an afterthought she added: "I just can't seem to find my phone anywhere."
Something inside of him melted. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He said as he took her into another hug. Red John had taken her phone, not her, her phone. She was still here. With him. But he'd taken her phone. He'd been close. Too close for his liking. He needed to take this monster down sooner rather than later. But most importantly he needed to keep Lisbon safe. Losing her was not an option.
A/N: Don't know what's gonna happen. Most likely not this. But the promo was so good and I was inspired.
I'm just so excited for the new season!
