His nights are haunted by mocking smiles and blood-drenched sheets, and sometimes he wishes he would never fall asleep again. He's fighting a losing battle against his own body, well aware that exhaustion will eventually take over at some point.
And he'll dream of them all.
Red John. Angela. Charlotte. His old dad, and Daisy the elephant. Lisbon. Lisbon again. Rigsby and Sarah, Van Pelt with her flaming hair. Cho laughing like he never does in his waking life.
Gale Bertram. Craig O'Laughlin. J.J. LaRoche. Rosalind Harker. Luther Wainwright with a hole to his head. Suspects, murderers, victims. A local sheriff, nosy neighbors, frightened kids and rabbits in a pot.
It's a wonder that he hasn't died of a sleeping pills overdose yet.
