" Where are we going? " Jane asked bored as they were heading to Lisbon's car. It was almost 4 am.

" Cublicon castle. Someone has been killed and the local police needs our help." Lisbon answered quickly while starting the engine. 10 minutes later they arrive in front of the old building. " Looks…old and scary! " Van Pelt sighted.

" Oh, Grace… Scared about the ghost? " Jane teased her.

" What? A ghost?! I…I… " She shivered.

" There is no ghost. He only wants to make you worry! " Lisbon glared at Jane who's just grinning. Quickly they walked to the entrance and went in.

" What do we have here? " Lisbon asked. An officer came to her and told her about the facts.

Jane sat down onto an old chair and watched the people around him. Suddenly he stood up and headed towards the stairs. In the right moment Lisbon looked up to see him sneaking downstairs. " Jane?! " she shouted but he didn't seem to hear her, so she just followed him. When she stepped into the only room she could see, he was looking the old pictures and books.

" Jane! What for god's sake are you doing here? You can't just leave without saying a word! "

She said angrily, but he simply ignored her and kept focusing the books. " JANE! " She shouted once more.

" Keep cool, Lisbon! I just found something really interesting! " He grinned and pulled out a book. Without any noise the shelf opened like a door. " See! Cool, isn't it!?"

" How did you find that?! " Lisbon asked surprised and stepped inside the dark room behind the shelf. Jane grinned and followed her. " It was the only book that begun with 'M'. All other begun with 'N'. That was easy…" It was dark so that they hardly see a thing.

Suddenly the door closed again and left the two in totally darkness.

" Jane, open the door ! That's not funny. " Lisbon sighted.

" I'm standing next to you, so I didn't do anything. The door won't open again! " Jane answered quietly. Lisbon pushed him aside and tried it by herself. Jane was right, the door didn't open. " damn! What now? " Lisbon shouted desperate.

" We first should look around in here. " Jane said and stretched out his arm.

" JANE! Stop that or I'll shoot you! " Lisbon squeezed.

" Just take my hand. I don't want to loose you here! Obviously we're in a secret passage and I guess there's more than one way out. So probably we should stay together until we have light." Jane said reassuring. Lisbon sighted and took his hand.

" But don't do anything stupid! " she hissed.

Slowly they take a few steps. " Lisbon? " Jane breathed.

" Yea? " She whispered back, still holding his hand tightly. It felt really good, but she'd never admit that.

" I found a flashlight here! Wait.." Jane said and tried to turn the light on. " … The battery is empty! What a surprise… " Jane grumbled. " Let's just try to find the end of this passage. "

He took a few steps and pulled Lisbon behind him, but as he stopped she bumped into him and was glad that it was dark, because so he couldn't see her blush. Suddenly she squeezed and jumped into his arms.

" What happened? Are you ok? " Jane asked worried as he held her close.

" There… there was something on my leg! " her voice shivered. Soon she realized that she was still clasping Jane's shirt and has wrapped one arm around him. Quickly she took one step back and waited until the embarrassment went less. " Sorry, Jane. I didn't want to… "

She looked down.

" It's ok… I won't tell anybody. No need to worry. " Jane said and took her hand again.

They slowly started to walk again, but soon Lisbon stumbled and fell to the ground.

" Ouch! " She groaned.

" What? " Jane asked worried.

" My leg hurts… " She tried to stand up, but she couldn't. " Why now?! Damn! " She grumbled.

" C'mon. I'll carry you. " Jane offered.

" You carrying me? No; Never! " Lisbon said.

" OK, then I'll just leave you here until you die. " He smiled and started walking away.

" Wait! Ok, you can carry me, but don't take advantage of it! " She begged.

He kneed down, wrapped his arms around her and stood up again.

Carefully he stepped forward and some time later he found a kind of lantern.

" You ok, Teresa? " he asked. She blushed at the use of her first name

" Don't call me Teresa! " She grumbled.

" OK, you are fine I hear." He laughed. " I'm handing you a kind of lantern now. When you can turn it on, we have light."

She tried and it did really work! Suddenly the shine of the lantern lighted the room. It was a wide tunnel made of stone, soon turning. With light they got on faster, but it still was like a labyrinth. Jane had no problems carrying Lisbon, but he soon got bored of walking around corners and through tunnels. " What did you eat for dinner? " he teased her.

" oh, shut up Jane! " he smiled, because she guessed that he was kidding.

When they finally arrive at a wooden door, they had been walking for almost 20 minutes.

Jane opened the door and they were flooded with light. He stepped outside and closed his eyes. It was only 5.30 am and the but the sun was already rising.

" Looks like a garden with roses and a big fountain… " he heard Lisbon wondering.

Then he opened his eyes as well and stepped to an old looking bench. He laid Lisbon on it and sat down next to her.

" What is that here? " Lisbon asked surprised.

" I guess that's some kind of a secret garden. The better question is how we can get back! "

Jane answered. He stood up and started walking around. The garden was really beautiful; with lot's of flowers, most of them were roses in every color. He picked a beautiful, red, shining one and gave it to Lisbon. Instantly she blushed and took the rose, hiding a big grin.

" Thank you Jane. " She smiled. " But have you any idea how to get out of here? "

" Mmmm… No, not yet." He replied. " Let's just wait here. " again he started walking around. Lisbon was bored, because she couldn't stand up or do anything else so she looked at the flowers. It was like a paradise in that garden; everything colorful and looking antique.

Suddenly she heard a little noise behind one of the walls around them. " Jane ? Come here! " She whispered and quickly he came over. " What's up? " He asked.

" Listen… there's some strange noise! " She stood up without thinking and instantly fell down again. Just in the last moment he caught her before she hit the ground. In that moment a door in the wall opened. They didn't saw it before, cause it was hidden behind roses. Surprised they watched Van Pelt, Rigsby and Cho coming into the garden.

" What are you doing here? " Lisbon asked without noticing that Jane was still holding her.

" The better question is what YOU are doing here! " Van Pelt blushed, because she had the strange feeling that they've interrupted something…

" OH, that's a long story. " Jane sighted and carried Lisbon out of the door, the others following.

" I'm sure you'll tell us soon. " Rigsby said wondering.

" I know it. " Cho guessed with his normal disinterested voice.

" NO, you don't! " Lisbon glared at him and shot Van Pelt a warning look.
