There are ten things I know for certain about Jane.

He has a lifelong obsession towards catching Red John, and he'll go further than he cares to admit to me to catch him.

He is very withdrawn when showing emotions, and although he doesn't always support it, he cares about me.

He has major trust issues. Well, he may have said that he trusted the mistress of Red John, but he didn't mean that. Not really...

He is broken. I've tried to put the pieces back together, but I can only do so much by myself.

The CBI is his family...we're the only ones who care about him in this world, and that makes me sad.

You can never move his couch without his consent.

He lies to get his way; whether that be to solve a case, or to manipulate someone into doing his bidding.

He will always feel guilty about the death of his family. Only time can heal that scar.

He abides to the law more now than in his past, but he will twist it if it seems necessary to him.

He is incredibly annoying, narcissistic, big-headed, and arrogant. And everybody knows it.


"Lisbon?" He slowly shies over to my desk, as if he's nervous about what he's about to say to me.

"Yes, Jane?" I reply, like he's a child and I'm the teacher.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about that last case. I was out of line. I'm sorry."

"Jane, that's okay. We still had it under control." I stand up and walk over to him, curious. "You okay?" He twists away for a second, and turns back around with a smile on his face.

"Never better, Lisbon." He inches forward and hugs me, squeezing me tightly.

"That's good." When he pulls away I'm smiling too. I can't not smile when he smiles...it's so infectious.

He smiles at me again, this time staring deeply into my eyes, and then leaves my office. I can feel my cheeks flush, and I turn away immediately and go back to work.
