I'm standing on the outside of the yellow tape.

I've been an officer of the law for about two years and I've never seen anything like this before. And I'm just not talking about the crime scene but the chemistry that runs in the SCU team.
Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon accompanied by Agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and Grace Van Pelt and the infamous consultant Patrick Jane take over this case and my boss can't do anything about it but to grumble and mutter something about politics.
I see Mr. Jane's eyes slowly changing to a darker shade when he enters the house.

I didn't talk about the crime scene to you, did I?
Well, yes, it is a Red John's case and from what I've heard in the station about how Red John killed Mr. Jane's wife and child, I'd say the consultant has every right to seek revenge.
There are two victims inside, a mother and daughter, both with blond hair and blue eyes, cut open with their nails painted in their own blood and two smiley faces on the wall.

Mr. Jane walks out of the house and the Senior Agent follows him.
I can't hear what they're saying but the consultant seems angry and the agent is trying to calm him down. Ouch…He pounds his fist in the outside wall and that seems to hurt. Agent Lisbon grabs him and almost drags him violently to her SUV.

I approach them slowly, still going unnoticed and it appears to anyone that I'm just doing my job, surveying the scene, but I'm more interested in what is going to happen next.
I see Agent Lisbon reaching the First-Aid Kit to treat Mr. Jane's hand. To me they appear to be incredibly close, but not in a relationship. I picked up some stuff over the years to know when a man feels a certain attraction for a woman and vice-versa or even when they are just friends and their relationship won't move to the next level.
Teresa Lisbon and Patrick Jane, God help me if I'm wrong, but they seem to be a mix of the two categories. They're just friends but there's the indescribable attraction between them, towards the other.
I shake my head to clear my thoughts and to focus on what I'm doing… hearing them.

"He's playing me Lisbon and I can't allow him to do that."

"Jane, please, just listen to me. You can't play his game. That's what he wants you to do."

"If I don't play by his rules, I'll never catch him."

"I've had it, Jane. I'm not letting you choose death, because no matter what you say, that's exactly what you're doing right now. I understand all you're feeling right now…"

"No, you don't. You've never been married, you've never had a child to go home to. You're way more dysfunctional than I am, Lisbon. Your mother died in a car crash, your father was a drunken man who hit you and your brothers and you only care about your job and your career, never trusting or trying to trust anyone, not having a normal life."

"Screw you, Jane. I tried. I swear I did, but this is the final straw. You have no right to mention my family when I'm here every single day sticking my neck for you and to make you see that there's more than just revenge. Do whatever the hell you want. I'm tired of fighting and trying to reach for a person who just gave up living a long time ago."

I see her leave him and return to the house. Mr. Jane curses and sees me looking at him. He shakes his head and goes away.
Someone is calling me but I'm so immersed in my thoughts that I return back to reality when my boss touches my arm.

"Hey Lucas, you ok?"

"Yes boss. I'm sorry. You were saying?"

"Pack your things and let's get back to the station. This case belongs to the SCU."

"Sure thing Boss."

As I'm packing my stuff, I see them again walking back to the SUV, together. The consultant stops and touches the agent's hand. Boy, I admire that man. Agent Lisbon is the scariest woman I've ever met, including my mother-in-law.
It looks to me he's about to say the two words that even though are pronounced many times, can't change a thing, but she doesn't let him. Instead she just nods and they are back to themselves again.

The Senior Bossy Agent and the Pain in the Ass Consultant.

Even though I'm standing on the outside, I can smell a future romantic relationship.
