Chapter 1

It all started with one phone call from Washington DC which is 2377 miles away from Sacramento.

Lisbon walked into the bullpen with a confused look on her face, 'What's wrong boss?' asked Van Pelt as she noticed the look on Lisbon's face. Lisbon sighed 'We have a case there's only one problem'. Cho finally looked up from the novel he had been reading 'What's the problem then?' Lisbon sighed for the second time in the space of two minutes 'The problem is that the case will take us to Washington' Rigsby was about to speak up and ask why they would be going all the way to Washington for a case but Lisbon carried on speaking 'and it's a Red John case'.
At hearing this piece of information Jane shot up from his couch all most falling over from being light headed, Lisbon would have laughed if it wasn't for the serious look on Jane's face and his sudden blabbering.

Lisbon walked over to Jane and put her hand on his shoulder 'Patrick, you need to calm down, I haven't even finished explaining yet' Jane stopped and lowered himself so he could Lisbon in the eye 'Theresa, what are you trying to say' he was trying to stay calm but his voice was shaky 'Well...the call was from the Jeffersonian, about some bones they have found' Jane furrowed his eyebrows, he was more confused then he had ever been. 'I..I.. don't know what you mean, Bones, how can they tell its Red John from BONES!' he was calmness was fading quickly 'AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE JEFFERSONIAN' Lisbon flinched at how loud Jane had suddenly got but she didn't move from her position next to Jane. 'Hey, Jane no need to shout, calm down, the best thing we can do is fly out to Washington and see it for ourselves, standing around here shouting is not going to solve anything' Jane nodded and sat on the couch taking deep breathes to clam himself down, he ran his hand through his hair, Lisbon sat down on the couch with him before she proceeded to talk to the rest of the team.

'Van Pelt I want you to book us flights to Washington ASAP, after that I want you all to go home freshen up and grab your stuff and we'll meet at the airport' before Lisbon had even finished speaking Van Pelt had already booked five ticket from Sacramento to Washington. 'Boss we have four hours to get ready and make it to the airport'. With that everyone jumped up and went to get prepared for there four and a half hour journey to Washington.
