Chapter 2

"We have two options, we could wait until the storm is over or I could go and search for a phone. Since it doesn't look like the rain is going to stop anytime soon I think it would be best if I searched for a house."

"But Jane, we are stuck in the middle of nowhere in the woods. The big green area on the map you remember? Where do you get the idea that there is a house somewhere near?"

Jane smiled at Lisbon. Her face didn't show her fear anymore but her big, green, fearful eyes told him otherwise. He took her other hand into his and looked into her face.

"When we entered the woods there was a sign that said that there was a mansion somewhere along the way. Besides I saw tire tracks before the rain started and they lead into that direction." He turned his head to the direction he meant because now, both of his hands were busy trying not to break under Lisbon's grasp.

"Don't worry, I will just look around a little and won't be gone long. I don't want to get lost. I'll be back in half an hour, okay?"

Lisbon just nodded her head because she didn't trust her voice. The storm had gotten louder every minute and lightning flashed across the sky constantly.

Jane lifted their hands in front of her face and looked at her expectantly. Lisbon tried to relax her hands and surprisingly they obeyed her. She took her hands out of his in a matter of seconds and looked anywhere but at him.

"It wasn't that difficult, was it?" Jane stated with another of his bright smiles. She hated him, she absolutely hated him for being so damn cheery and smiley and just as she was about to tell him a piece of her mind regarding where he could put his damn smiley face, his finger landed on her lips.

The surprise let her forget all her anger for a minute and she looked at him with wide eyes.

He chuckled quietly and took her face into his hands. "Don't be angry, I'll be back in half an hour", he said hushed and gave her a short kiss.

Before Lisbon could say anything let alone protest he opened the door and disappeared into the pouring rain.

Lisbon sat in the car and looked at nothing. As soon as she recovered from her shock and as her voice worked again she batted her arms down on the steering wheel and sighed long and loud.

"Bastard! Who does he think he is, that little...", Lisbon cursed for the next 10 minutes and as her arsenal of insults was exhausted, she just invented new ones. As soon as she began insulting innocent little animals who really weren't to blame for this situation, she stopped and took a deep breath.

'I can't believe he did that! I'm his boss! Well, it was kinda nice and those deep blue eyes... here I go again. Me and my imagination. I'm still his boss so there is no room for feelings like that... but if you are really accurate, he's just a consultant that had been assigned to my team and so I'm not exactly his direct superior. Oh well, what am I thinking we still work together and after the fiasco with Bosco I decided not to go down that road again. Just my luck that the only person who is interested in me is someone I work with. And to bring even more joy to my happy, pink bubblegum world the only person I am interested in is one of the few men that has absolutely no interest in dating anyone. Maybe I just imagined that kiss, or it was a failed experiment on his part... I mean he did get out of the car very fast...'

While Lisbon thought about a way to make the kiss look insignificant, she didn't even realize that she relaxed in her seat and didn't notice the ongoing storm outside the car windows anymore.

As Soon as Jane got out of the car he was wet from head to toe. Even his socks. He thought about getting back in the car but after seeing Lisbon's face change from shock to anger he decided he liked to live a little bit longer even if that meant he was going to catch a cold.

He smiled at the memory of the kiss and didn't regret it. It was supposed to be just a gesture to take her fear away but now that he thought about it, he liked it. He liked to kiss Teresa Lisbon. His boss of all women. He hadn't had a date for almost six years and now the one woman he couldn't stop thinking and fantasizing about had to be his boss and therefore off limits. Not that he minded a little relationship between co-workers but she once told him that relationships should be kept out of the office. Great Jane, how are you supposed to behave normal in her presence if all you can think about is kissing her?

Jane walked through the woods without looking where he was going and the next time he was aware of his surroundings he saw a small mansion. Well, he thought, he could also call it a very big house, but after observing the gates that surrounded the whole 'house' and the fancy cars parking in front of the entrance, he decided to call it a 'mansion'. Even if it was a small one compared to some he had seen in his time as a mentalist.

He walked through the gates and saw light behind some windows. The way the shadows hit the curtain he was almost certain that it was not electrical light but some candles or a fireplace.

Jane considered getting Lisbon before knocking on the door but decided against it remembering her fear of lightning and the still ongoing rain. He wanted something warm even if it was just for a few minutes while making the phone call. And the shadows of the candles or, hopefully, a fire place looked too inviting so he jumped up the stairs and knocked on the door hoping that someone would let him in.

The door opened and Jane had to look up to see into the man's eyes. He didn't like what he saw. Those eyes were cold. Like really cold, ice water cold and without mercy. Jane shivered if it was from the rain or from the man's presence he couldn't say. He almost backed off and started saying something like 'excuse me I got the wrong door' when he changed his mind thinking about Lisbon being alone and cold out in the woods. It was just a phone call, so no big deal. Right?
