Chapter 1
(In a bowling alley in Sacramento CBI team are having a well deserved time out from case work, its Jane's turn, he is about to bowl when he gets a gutter ball and Lisbon laughs at him)
Patrick: Ah come on Teresa, that was a fowl, I was distracted by you guys talking.
Lisbon: We were not and anyway there are no fouls in bowling, I should know, I was the Sacramento Junior Bowling Champ 3 years running.
Patrick: Fine then, just watch me cheat my way to victory.
Lisbon: There is no cheating in bowling.
Grace: (whispers) Is it just me or are they flirting?
Rigsby: I agree
Cho: You agree with everything she says.
Rigsby: But its true, it does look like they are flirting. Who wants to bet?
Grace: On what?
Rigsby: On whether those two will be together by the end of the next case.
Cho: I'm in
Grace: Me too, but what are we betting for?
Rigsby: $50
Grace: You are so on
(Lisbon's phone rings and she answers it)
Lisbon: Yes sir, okay, we'll be there right away.
(Everyone groans and she outs her phone away)
Rigsby: Wait, don't tell me, we're all being honoured for our excellent service to the CBI.
Grace: We're getting pay rises.
Lisbon: What do you think?
Cho: I think we have another case.
Lisbon: A gold star for Kimball. A shooting in McKinley Park.
Grace: Another one, that must be the 6th shooting of its kind in the state in the last 3 weeks.
Lisbon: Let's go get this sick son of bitch then.
(Everyone walks off except Jane)
Jane: Wait, can we stop for tea first?
(He runs to catch up with them. The titles role)
