"Why is it that I always get trapped with you?" Lisbon demanded as she slammed the door with her fist.
"Luck?" Jane teased with a grin.
"I know somehow this is your fault," Lisbon accused.
"How is this my fault?" Jane asked.
"Because it is always your fault."
"I've been with you all morning so you know I haven't caused any trouble," Jane reminded.
"Hopefully the team will figure out we are missing," Lisbon stated as she started to pace.
"At least we aren't in the desert," Jane remarked.
"No. We are stuck in the middle of the forest in a cabin that isn't even on a path," Lisbon said sarcastically.
"Well look at the bright side," Jane commented.
"Which is?"
"We have food this time," Jane replied as he pulled a chocolate bar out of his jacket pocket. Lisbon couldn't help but grin.
"Officer, I'm looking for your Agent Lisbon," Sally hollered at Cho as he exited the visitor station.
"Agent, Ma'am. And she is looking into other leads, how can I help you?" Cho asked.
"Do you have any new information?" Sally asked hopeful.
"Not at this moment," Cho stated unemotional before entering the station.
"The boyfriend claims he doesn't remember anything," Van Pelt said as soon as she noticed Cho.
"Do you think he's lying?" Cho inquired.
"I don't think he is lying about what happened but I think he knows who might have taken her," Van Pelt explained.
"Let me talk to him," Cho stated.
"Where is the boss?" Van Pelt asked.
"She and Jane are checking out the campsite for any clues," Cho stated before he went to talk to the boyfriend. "Mr. Mayer, who do you think took her?" Cho asked as he sat down.
"Aliens?" Sean answered sarcastically.
"Mr. Mayer, you are the last person to see her alive, which means you are our prime suspect," Cho explained. "So you can tell us what you know or you can spend the night in jail," Cho continued.
"I don't know him personally," Sean said after a few seconds.
"Okay, what do you know?" Cho asked as he opened his notebook.
"We were on our way to the campsite when this guy offered us some beers. We followed him to this piece of crap cabin and shared a few. Stacy and I took off when he passed out and that was it. The next thing I remember was waking up in the tent and Stacy was missing," Sean explained.
"Where was this shack located?" Cho asked.
"Not sure, sorry" Sean said regretfully.
"So what do you think?" Lisbon asked.
"About?" Jane inquired.
"The case," Lisbon stated.
"I don't think the boyfriend did it."
"How can you be sure?" Lisbon asked skeptical.
"Too cliché," Jane responded.
"That's your reason," Lisbon grinned.
"I think the girl took off for Europe, actually," Jane informed.
"Rebelling against her mother," Lisbon acknowledged. "That or we have some sort of Friday 13th happening."
"No lake nearby," Jane countered.
"Texas chainsaw massacre?"
"We're not in Texas," Jane smirked.
"You got any suggestion on how to get out of here?" Lisbon asked softly as she leaned against one of the walls of the cabin.
"Not really," Jane breathed.
"Well at least we have each other to keep us company," Lisbon smiled as Jane came to stand next to her.
"And we have somewhere to sleep," Jane grinned.
"I'm not going near that mattress," Lisbon grimaced.
"Not even for survival purposes?" Jane inquired with a smile.
"I really hope it doesn't come to that," Lisbon answered.
"I doubt it will," he replied before continuing "So what were your plans for the evening?"
"I told you I was going to spend it sleeping," Lisbon replied.
"You know you don't have to lie to me about having something to do," Jane pointed out.
"I'm meeting with a friend," Lisbon sighed.
"Good, you shouldn't be alone," Jane stated.
"What about you?" Lisbon asked.
"Oh, no worries I have big plans," Jane lied.
"What type of plans?" Lisbon asked curious.
"Meeting with Pete and Sam," Jane hastily answered.
"I didn't know they were in town," Lisbon was surprised with his answer.
"Only for a few days."
"Well it is nice to see you going out instead of spending it alone," Lisbon softly spoke.
Jane gave her a small nod before walking over the mattress and sitting down. Jane figured that Lisbon knew he was lying about his plans for the evening but the truth of the matter was that he didn't want to let her know that he was alone. They had spent Christmas Eve and morning together with Tommy and Annie. For the first time in a long time he had felt happy during a holiday. He was grateful to Lisbon for allowing him to join her but he wasn't about to intrude on her plans again.
"Jane?" Lisbon asked.
"Yea."
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yeah. I was just thinking about different things."
"About?" Lisbon asked as she walked over to him.
"It isn't important," Jane shrugged.
"How can you sit on that?" Lisbon asked referring to the mattress.
"It's better than sitting on the cold floor," Jane retorted.
"Not by much."
"Come sit down," Jane suggested as he patted the spot next to him.
"No."
"Are you going to continue standing until the team finds us?" Jane questioned.
"Fine," Lisbon answered unhappy as she took the seat next to Jane.
"See, don't you feel better?" Jane smiled.
"I hate you sometimes," Lisbon retorted. Jane gave her a quick smile before he lay down.
"Wake me up when the team comes," Jane muttered as he closed his eyes.
"How can you even sleep at a time like this?" Lisbon asked as she watched him.
"What else are we going to do?" Jane remarked.
"I don't know, maybe think of ways out of here," Lisbon suggested sarcastically.
"Well, when you figure it out then wake me," Jane responded.
"You're a big help."
"I know I am," Jane smiled as he could just picture Lisbon rolling her eyes at him.
