As promised, a new chapter. I will be posting like crazy for the first few days so be happy readers and review.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mentalist or its characters, but check up on my around Christmas. It's on my list.

Lisbon

I nearly knock Jane over trying to get into the bullpen to grab the new vest to replace my damaged one before I had even finished speaking to Minelli.

"They've got a lead on Red John's location. VanPelt you're with us and stay on the line with Officer Reed, if they hear Red John so much as sneeze I want to know about it-"I hand her the paper with his phone number and turn back to the elevator- "Rigsby, I need you to take your laptop just in case we need to reach Minelli in the next few hours since he has strict orders not to call him. Cho…" I check to make sure Jane isn't listening, which he isn't. He is standing staring at the floor blankly before we leave, "watch out for him."

Cho

The boss seems nervous, I can understand that. The man she loves might end up in jail by the end of the day. I would be upset too. But this is beyond nerves; her driving is sloppy, she failed to brief us before arrival at the scene, she even snapped at Rigsby over a comment on excitement concerning Red John. I can see where her eyes are focus in the rear view mirror, and it isn't on incoming traffic. It is on a mad soon-to-be criminal who just happened to be in the back seat. I know she loves him. It's a little too obvious, but her behavior isn't professional. Minelli was right to temporarily take her off this case- I just wish it would have been longer before she got it back.

But that's not my decision. If it weren't for that damn maternity streak of hers I wouldn't give it another thought, but everyone is aware of the bullet she would take for him in a heartbeat when in reality it would be the last thing he would think to do for her. I know Jane's had a rough past, but so has everyone else. If the last thing I see today before leaving work is my boss being zipped up in a body bag, Patrick Jane will be zipped up right alongside her. I love her like a sister and I will make sure that no one hurts her. I will not be forced to look at her empty, lifeless eyes staring at nothing as she is tucked away and sent to the morgue. She can't die on me.

Jane

I know that she will try, but she won't stop me. I will have my revenge on this bastard if it's the last thing I do. Hell, I don't even care if it's the last thing she does either. I will NOT let her get in my way. Nor will I let any of these other pawns interrupt my vengeance either. Red John is mine and I will kill him. He will suffer for what he has done. My poor baby girl- she didn't deserve to die. I could only imagine what she could have been when she got older. I would have liked to think she would have been a musician, she tried so hard at playing the piano and making sound just the way her mother did. Her mother…I miss her more than anything. I loved her.
