A/N: After all the nice reviews I decided to add another few chapters to this story. And thanks to Liv for everything.

The Red Mark:

Jane had just opened the car door when his phone vibrated. Pulling it out of his pocket he checked the message.

Like the elevator ride :)

Jane looked up quickly to see where Lisbon was. Closing the door to his car he ran over to hers and knocked on the window. Lisbon jumped before rolling down the window.

"Jane you scared the crap out of me."

"Look at this," Jane thrust the phone into her hand. Lisbon sighed and looked at the message. Jane watched as her eyes grew in surprised.

"When did you get this?" Lisbon asked as she got out of the car.

"Just now."

"How could he possibly have any access to the elevator?" Lisbon asked out loud as the two of them made their way back into the CBI.

"Maybe someone working for him does."

"Great, another mole," Lisbon muttered as she pulled out her cell phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"The team and Wainwright," Lisbon answered quickly before walking away from him.

"You know, it could be nothing," Jane stated when she finished.

"Do you think it isn't him?"

"It is him," Jane replied softly.

"We need to contact the FBI also," Lisbon informed him as they walked into her office.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want Darcy finding this out from someone else and accusing you even more than she is already," Lisbon explained.

"Fine," he said aggressively.

"Make the call," Lisbon ordered.

"I don't have her number," Jane replied. Lisbon rolled her eyes.

"Just make the damn call," Lisbon spat before motioning him to leave her alone.

Jane made his way over to his couch and sat down. He pulled out his cell phone and scrolled down to the number he was looking for.

"We have a problem," Jane left her a message on her machine before hanging up.

"The team should be here shortly and when they do get here you are going to tell them everything," Lisbon explained to Jane as she walked over to him.

"Why?"

"You are not getting out of this one or running away. Either you tell them or I will," Lisbon ordered before walking away. Jane's retort died on his lips as Lisbon gave him a stern look that meant she was more than serious.

Jane figured he had time to go to his attic before the team arrived. He needed the time to clear his head and think about Red John. It didn't take long for his phone to vibrate with a message from Lisbon that stated he needed to get his ass back down to the bullpen.

"I'm going to make some tea," Jane said as he walked into the bullpen.

"Already made some," Lisbon pointed to the cup.

"You know I appreciate it and all but I'm very particular about my tea."

"Jane," Lisbon warned.

Jane and Lisbon glared at each other hoping the other would break. The rest of the team exchanged looks with each other and mentally made bets on who break first. To their surprise Jane lowered his head and sat down.

"There was a situation tonight that now requires our attention," Lisbon began. "Jane and I were stuck in the elevator but after we got out Jane received a text message that stated 'Like the elevator ride' followed by a smiley face."

"What?" the team said in unison. Lisbon raised her hand to stop them from continuing.

"There is more and Jane is going to explain that," Lisbon said. The three of them turned their eyes on Jane.

Jane looked at each of them before closing his eyes and speaking "Red John isn't dead."

"But you killed him," Van Pelt stated.

"No, I killed someone who worked for him or at least had contact with him," Jane informed.

"You have known all this time," Rigsby said surprised.

"Yes, and we have been keeping it between us since then," Jane emphasized the we part as he looked at Lisbon.

"You knew," Van Pelt stated.

"Yes, and we felt that at the time it was better to keep it between us," Lisbon explained.

"So even after that murder and having Darcy around you two still thought it was better not inform us," Rigsby shot back.

"We didn't want to put you in danger," Jane answered genuinely.

"And now?" Cho asked.

"We felt it was time to tell you," Lisbon stated as Jane huffed. "Fine I felt it was time for you to know, happy?"

"Yes," Jane answered sarcastically.

"Agent?" Wainwright walked into the bullpen with Darcy right behind him. "Care to explain why you called me in the dead of the night to meet you and why Agent Darcy is here."

"Sir. There was a situation tonight and I felt that you and Agent Darcy should be informed of," Lisbon informed.

"What is it?" Darcy asked.

"Red John."

"What happened?" Wainwright asked sternly.

Lisbon explained what had happened with the elevator and the text message that Jane had received. Wainwright and Darcy listened to the story and only exchanged a quick look at the end before looking at Lisbon again.

"Lisbon and Jane, I want to see you in my office. The rest of you start going through the videos and see what you can find out," Wainwright ordered. He and Darcy walked off leaving the team alone.

"Let me know what you find," Lisbon told Cho before looking at Jane as he finished his tea. "You ready?"

"Yes." Jane said as he got up from the table. "Oh, and your ability to make tea still needs work."

"Bite me," Lisbon replied as they made their way to Wainwright office.

"Close the door behind you," Wainwright ordered as he waved the two of them in.

"Agent Darcy had already suspected that you are connected with Red John," he informed Jane.

"She's mistaken," Jane said flatly.

"Is she?"

"Of course she is, sir," Lisbon defend Jane.

"And you know this how?"

"Because it is impossible for him to be working for Red John," Lisbon answered annoyed.

"Where is your proof?" Wainwright demanded.

"You want proof?" Jane shouted. "How about the murder of my wife and child."

"Jane," Lisbon whispered under her breath. He glared at Wainwright once more before leaving the office.

"Agent Darcy is calling her superiors as we speak. If you want to disprove her theory then I recommend you get started," Wainwright informed Lisbon. Lisbon nodded and walked out of the office more annoyed with Wainwright than ever before.

"Boss, we are going through the video footage now," Rigsby told Lisbon as she walked into the bullpen.

"Look for anyone you don't recognize or you think is out of place. Let me know when you got something," Lisbon ordered before heading to her office. Cho got up from his desk and followed her.

"You want to know why?" Lisbon said as she sat down at her desk.

"Yes," Cho replied.

"You need to trust me."

"Last time you told me those words Jane ended up shooting Carter, Van Pelt shot O' Laughlin after he shot you," Cho said stoic.

Lisbon sighed "I know."

"You shouldn't be keeping things from the team," Cho stated.

"You shouldn't either."

"Excuse me?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Kimball," Lisbon stated.
