This is a Jane /Lisbon story; it covers a red John case. This time he is after Lisbon.

Lisbon walked to her office, like every day she was early, on the way she noticed Jane had slept in the building; he was lying in his couch. She stared at him a bit; she couldn't stop to think how lonely he was. How lonely she was. Jane knew Lisbon was staring at him and pretended to be asleep..

He knew she was going to be early. That woman never slept more that five hours. She stopped staring at him and went to her office. Once in she noticed there was an envelope in the floor, it was for her, the letter inside was tipped. Lisbon stayed there shocked; breathless as she looked at the smiley face drawn at the end of the paragraph. It was from red John.

Two days before...

Jane looked at her with a concerning look. It was the third time he saw Lisbon, his lovely-harsh Boss taking pills, as he noticed in the prescription, they were made to ease the pain. You don't need to be psyche to know that she was feeling pain periodically. She used to take one of them once a month, and now it was twice a week that really worrying him.

Patrick Jane knew how stubborn Teresa Lisbon was; he admired and hated from her. It remembered of him she must have been refusing the idea of going to a Hospital. Also she didn't seem well in the outside, she was sometimes distracted. not in her normal speed, if he did something annoying Lisbon simply didn't bother to shut him up. She was too distracted, lost in her thoughts.

After deliberating with his mind, he knew he couldn't push his doubts any more. So he managed to sat up leaving his couch and approaching her in the little kitchen .She was obviously taking more pills.

-Lisbon can I talk to you for a minute?

-Lisbon looked apprehensive.

-What have you done? Please don't tell me you provoked another fight. She to their current case they had two families in confrontation, because of the death of two teenage kids who were in love, just like Romeo and Juliet, every member of the kids families hated each other it was forbidden love.

And with both getting killed every member of the families was a suspect. Well only the one that didn't have an alibi for the day and time of the murder. Jane was messing as he usually does with one of the suspects, It happened to be the father of the teenage girl. When Jane suggested he had killed his daughter and her boyfriend he punched him in the face. Lisbon stopped the man from doing more harm but didn't pressed charges because of course, Jane have gone too far this time.

- I'm not hurt, obviously there wasn't any fight. Jane smiled. She kept looking at him.

-So, what's the matter? She was moving toward here office he followed and closed the door after him.

-I am concerned. You seem to need too much Advil lately... are you having any sort of pain?

-She stayed quiet.

- So there is something wrong with you. Jane's voice sounded scared this time.

- Come on Jane is nothing to worry about, I have been having these headaches, and they come and go between days. As you know we have been really busy this stress that's all that it is.

- We have been busy before with a lot more work and you didn't take pills two often.

-You need to get checked. You know this is not normal at all.

-Me? No. Its stress that's all.

-Lisbon, and he was serious this time, you have to see a doctor and soon. It can be something simple or cant you got to find out. It's your health we are talking about.

-Why are you telling me that? You have any right since you didn't let me take you to the doctor when you were hit by a baseball ball.

-Its different.

-Oh yeah? How so?

Jane tried to pull up an argument to support his statement, and brought up a lame one:

-Because I have less responsibilities than you. You are a senior Agent, I am a consultant and besides, I promised Bosco would take care of you. Please Lisbon, he is going to haunt me!
