Hey guys! How's the new decade going for y`all?! Good? Bad? Amazing or it only begun...we have a whole brand freaking New Year and decade to think about that!!!!!
Well since I'm typing this on the 1st of January 2010 and its 12:32 in the morning...Eh I'm sure you guys can think there is no freakin way I could update this new one-shot tonight...Its hard enough to get watching a YouTube vid! The Internet has gone haywire!!! AHHH!
Anyway...I'm gone crazy (It's the New Year thing) but...
My next story will be a two parter...meaning two chapters and double the Jisbon! LOL! ;) Or chances are it could be a three or four story...just depends on how my mind decides to work!
NB: I'd advise you to listen to the song before you read this cause there's this bit about a minute till the end that is just guitars and drums playing...I called it music intro in inverted commas, just to let you know if anyone's confused!
Disclaimer: No, No, No, No! I'm telling you I don't own the mentalist people! Really I don't! All I can say though is keep them all alive and healthy this year!!!Please!!! Thank you!!Oh I almost forgot! Snow patrol owns the song, not me!!!!
I think I've said enough for the mo so I give you all...
The Mentalist: Open Your Eyes.
"All this feels strange and untrue and I won't waste a minute without you"
`Why'd you drag me out of my bed at 4am in the morning for, Teresa? `Patrick Jane asked as he walked along side Lisbon in the large cold barn.
`The same reason I got myself outta bed, to catch a murderer`
Jane shoved his hands into his pockets and began to peek his head into places in the barn that he shouldn't have.
`Chances are that Austin won't turn up and we`ll just end up freezing our butts to do something that we failed to achieve yesterday`
Lisbon turned and shone the torch into Jane's face and he suddenly covered his eyes. `Didn't anyone ever tell you that you shouldn't shine light directly into someone's eyes, Woman? `
`Jane stop talking so loud` hushed Lisbon and Jane looked at her with his mouth hanging open.
`But-`
`Jane stop moaning, you'll give us away. So shut your yap for awhile please? Or just whisper`
Jane nodded and continued to walk by her side, offering to handle the torch time to time. Lisbon refused every single time.
They heard a slight bang behind them and both of them turned rapidly, eying the barn door that had been closed shut.
`I thought we left that ajar? ` Lisbon said, instantly doubting themselves as she walked over to the door and tried to open it.
`Jane, please tell me this isn't one of your idiotic jokes` asked Lisbon, shooting a worried glance over to Jane and he just shook his head walking over to the door and giving it a go himself.
`Someone put a plank of wood over the handles of the door Teresa. We`ll have to climb up onto the roof and down on the gutters and Ivy`
`How do you know there's Ivy and Gutters on the building? `
`My job is to observe Teresa, not to be a useless consultant who lies on his couch everyday doing nothing to piss off his co-workers`
Lisbon furrowed her eyebrows and scrunched her nose.
`Hold on a second` She began, pointing her index finger at him. `I never said you were useless, your trying to put words in my mouth so you can pity yourself when you purposely aren't doing anything back at the headquarters` She had his agenda all sussed out. `And I must add, you are a consultant who is most of the time a pain in the ass who does lie on your couch everyday doing nothing to piss off you co-workers!`
`Well we can talk about this all night or we can act like adults and figure a way-a safe way out of here` She interrupted, putting her hands on her hips and looking at him.
`Aw really? I think it's quite cosy in here`
"My bones ache, my skin feels cold and I'm getting so tired and so old"
`I'm freaking freezing Jane! The quicker I get out of here the better` She said, her teeth chattering from the cold gust of wind that began to blow in from the bottom of the locked barn door.
Jane walked over to her and embraced her in a hug and then he pulled back.
`What was that for? ` She queried, wrapping her arms around herself.
Jane grinned while he took off his over coat.
`Teresa dear, all you had to do was ask or mention it earlier. I was kidding`
He walked behind her and draped his coat over her shoulders, making sure it would stay on without slipping off.
`Thanks` She said, shivering from the warm coat hitting her freezing body.
`Come over here a minute Teresa` He instructed, putting his hand at the small of her back and guiding her over there.
There was a small sheltered area towards the corner of the barn under the stair leading to the walkways that ran around the area of the barn with alot of hay bales stacked into the other shelters.
Although Jane shouldn't have, he began to rip apart the stacks of hay and threw it on the ground of the shelter along with more ripped up stacks of hay. `Hop in there Teresa` He said and she looked over at him thinking what the hell are you at?
She climbed into the shelter that was only about 2 and half feet from the ground and made herself comfy against the stacks that Jane had put against the back wall. Jane then climbed into it and wrapped his arm around Lisbon's small frame which to her was completely unexpected and he pulled her in so her head would fall against his shoulder.
`What are you doing? ` She asked, looking up at him and he beamed back down at her. `Keeping you warm. Is that a problem? `
She shook her head and decided not to say anything to make him feel bad. After all it had only been four hours since a new year rolled in so it was best to keep the complaining to a minimum.
`So what's your new year resolution? ` He asked.
`Eh...I don't know. What's yours? `
`To kill Red John without harming anyone I truly care about`
`Jane, that's not a resolution. That isn't something that you can do better this year that you failed to do last` Once she said it, she didn't realise it.
` That's exactly what it is. It's something that I can do better this year that I failed to last year. I didn't find Red John last year, I didn't kill him so it is a resolution`
`You've been making the same resolution every year haven't you? ` She whispered softly, looking blankly at his shoe.
`Yes and I don't intend on changing it either` He admitted, looking down at Lisbon's exhausted face that had been drained of any new year's excitement whatsoever.
`Want to play 20 questions? ` He asked and she nodded her head faintly while her eyes were occasionally opening and closing.
`Okay, I`ll start...`
He thought for a moment and then said he was ready.
`Is it a girl? ` She asked drowsily.
`No`
`Does he have black hair? `
`No`
`Blond? `
`No`
`Is he real? `
`Of course he's real! Well he's a human anyway! `
`Does he have a job? `
`Yes he does`
`Does he have a girlfriend? `
`Eh...kinda`
`Hey, I thought these were meant to be yes or no answers! `Exclaimed Lisbon and Jane clamped his hand over her mouth.
`I don't know! `
`So it's a no? `
`Yes`
`Well is he hot? `
`Yes...? ` Jane had no idea how to answer that one.
`Well he's either hot or he isn't! What's it gonna be? `
Poor Jane thinking Lisbon was well on her way to sleeping.
`Yes! `
`So he's a man, he`s real, he has a good job, he`s hot and yet he doesn't have a girlfriend? `
`Yes`
`Is he good at his job? `
`Yes`
`Its not Cho is it? `
`No`
`Um...Does he live in California? `
`Yes`
`Do I know him well? `
`Yes`
`Why the hell did you make this one so hard? `
`No`
`You're trying to say I don't know? `
`Yes`
`Why didn't you say it to me then? `
`No`
`Jane, stop annoying me will you? `
`Yes`
`Who the hell is it? `
`No`
` I was saying my thoughts out loud! `
`Eh I don't know Jane! Tell me! Please? `
`Well your 20 questions are up anyway so I have no choice but to tell you`
Lisbon sat up eagerly and looked him right in the eyes.
`Who was he? `
`I don't know how you didn't get this one`
`Well you weren't exactly giving me anything to go on`
Jane smiled. `I'm never mean to. Anyway, the guy was...`
The Mentalist: Open your eyes.
Okay! You might think the bit with the 20 questions is random but it doesn't always have to be when you're stuck in an elevator/lift!
I played the game sitting out in the corridor with 3 of my friends and they stared to crack up wondering who the hell I chose! I chose Grace VP and only one of them watched the show halfway through the season and one of the others saw the last two episodes on five for the season finale!!!
***Please have a go at figuring out who the guy was in the 20 questions!!! I'll give you a clue: He's American and I'm not really sure if he's together with the girl on the team or not. Let's just say they srsly like each other cause they flirt in nearly all the episodes I've seen oh and he's got blue-ish eyes and brown hair and slightly tanned skin! Just give it a go!!!
Please R&R and next chap should be up later today or tomorrow!
Cheers,
