Ch. 2 Where`s Jane

It was 8 a.m., and Lisbon was just walking into the CBI unlike the rest of her team she was the only one who didn't have more than one drink the night before. So she wasn't surprised when she was the only one there. Wait a minute, she was never the only one there, some one was always there before that person being Jane. Lisbon was a little worried at first when she didn't see Jane there, but she thought that maybe he was just continuing his depressive stupor. So she just went to her office to do paper work.

Around 9 a.m. is when the rest of the team started showing up. First Cho, who didn't drink too much the night before, but enough to earn himself a hangover, of course he didn't show it though. Then VanPelt, who drank a lot more than Cho and Lisbon so she had a wicked headache when she walked into CBI. Then lastly, Rigsby who drank just as much as VanPelt, so he felt just as crappy. All the members of the team immediately started on paper work when they got in, not seeming to notice the missing consultant.

"VanPelt!" Lisbon called, with a groan VanPelt walked over to Lisbon's office. "Ya Boss" VanPelt replied tying to sound cheerful. "Have you by chance seen Jane?" "No boss, I haven't" VanPelt replied with a small grimace at the boss's loud voice. 'No wonder this morning the bullpen was missing its usual noisy climate, probably due to the absence of the rowdy consultant. Now that she thought of it most of the fun days at the CBI were because of Jane, she hoped he was okay' VanPelt thought. Lisbon noticed the grimace and gave a slight chuckle before apologizing. Once VanPelt left, with a feeling of guilt tugging at her heart for not noticing the consultant`s absence, Lisbon became even more worried about Jane he never was 2 hours late. After much debate Lisbon finally decided to call him, but all she got was his voicemail. This worried her even more, but she knew that if she started a full blown search like she wanted, and he ended up just being at home lying in bed he would never let her hear the end of it. So she decided she'd wait till lunch and if he still wasn't there she would tell Hightower.

After a couple hours of mindless paper work, which consisted mostly of complaints about Jane, Rigsby invited her to lunch with the team. "Sure Rigsby I'd love to go", "Alright boss we're going to be at the diner across the street". Just as Rigsby was about to leave Lisbon said "Rigsby has Jane come in yet." "No boss I haven't seen him since yesterday…Why?" Rigsby said confused. Lisbon sighed "I guess I better tell Hightower." "Tell Hightower what boss?" Rigsby was becoming agitated and confused by the boss`s lack of communication which didn't help his hangover. "I better tell Hightower that Jane… is missing"
