Much to Lisbon's embarrassment, Jane continued to carry her around. They soon got her to see a doctor. He said it was a sprain, and that is was good that she hadn't put any pressure on it. He complemented Jane on his quick-wit of picking her up and not letting her walk on it! Because she hadn't walked on her foot, all she'd need to do is put ice on it, and it would probably be okay in the morning.
Jane took her home that night. He insisted on carrying her into her house and tucking her in bed. He got her an ice pack, made her soup and tea and told her rest and take it easy.
"You make me feel like an invalid!" said Lisbon.
"No offense… but you kind of are right now!" teased Jane.
Lisbon smirked… "Well, thank you… I'm not used to being taken care like this."
"Well then, maybe you should fall down more often!"
Jane reached for her hand and have it a gentle squeeze. "Good Night, Lisbon... Sleep Well"
By the next morning she was much better! Back at the office the team was busy at work.
"The victim's name was Heidi Granger. She was the granddaughter of the Earl of Granger, he owned Cubicon Castle," said Grace. "I spoke with her family and they said that hadn't hear from her in years. Her mother died about 1 ½ ago. All she has left is her step dad."
"I spoke with her roommate, the last she time she saw Heidi was 2 days ago." Said Cho.
"Alright, Cho, you and Rigsby go and talk to her step dad see what you can come up with."
"Jane and I will take a look at her apartment and talk to her roommate."
"What about me?" asked Grace. "Do I get to do some field work?"
"We need you here, run her credit cards… see what you come up with." Grace sighed and went back to work while the rest of the team headed out.
At the Heidi's apartment, they learned that she had been estranged from her family after her mother remarried. Heidi didn't like her step father, because she thought of him as a gold-digger. Just after her mother's money. He had always been mean to her. The roommate figured it was because he knew that Heidi would inherit the family fortune.
"And did she after her mother died?" asked Lisbon.
The roommate shook her head. "NO, all she got was this dumb book."
"Where is that book?" asked Jane.
"Ah… in her room probably." Jane, like usual, looked and snooped in cupboards and bookshelves. He found the book in Heidi's room. It was a fairytale book. He flipped it open. It was a mere child's book. He noticed there in the middle of the book a quote was circled:
"A Mighty Fortress tells it all, the Lady Queen of Diamonds standing tall. In the heart of her mighty wall, tears they gently fall. Hidden deep within her heart, treasure for one and all."
He should it to Lisbon. She read it out load. "Does that mean anything to you?" she asked the roommate.
"No, but lately Heidi's been reading that book over and over. That quote was circled before she got it. She thought her mother was trying to tell her something. But I don't know what."
"Thank you, you've been helpful," said Lisbon politely.
The team met up at the office. Cho and Rigsby learned that the father said he hadn't talked to her since her mother died. He had given her the book her mother wanted her to have and that was it. He hadn't seen or heard from her since.
"Hmm… strange."
Jane sat and pondered on the couch. The rest of the team tried to decipher the riddle, but they had no luck.
"Queen of Diamonds… that must mean cards, poker, gambling…" said Rigsby.
"Wrong!" hollered Jane from his spot on the couch
"Tears they gently fall… perhaps that means her mother was sad that they didn't talk," suggested Grace.
"Wrong again!" he said.
"Well, Mr. Know-it-All would you care to share some insight?" asked Lisbon.
"Hmm… A walk."
"Walk?"
"Yes, a walk might do me some good. Good night every one!" and Jane left for the night.
"What is he up too?"
"Who knows!?" said Lisbon, she watched him leave and wondered what was going on in that mind of his!
Later they all went home, still no luck on the riddle. Around midnight Lisbon awoke to knocking on her door.
"Lisbon? Teresa!? It's me! Jane, open up!"
Lisbon in her navy blue jersey pajama shirt opened her door. Jane smiled at the tousled haired Lisbon. "I've got it! Go get dressed!"
"What? Now?"
"Yes, yes, go, go!"
"Ahh… Jane!" moaned Lisbon.
"Come on it will be fun!"
"Can't you just tell me?"
"No, it's much better if I show you!"
Lisbon dutifully got dressed and flowed Jane to his car. He drove and drove. "Where are we going?"
"Surprise!"
"Come on Jane! Tell me!?"
"How's your leg doing?"
"So you're not going to tell me where we're going? You're just going to change the subject!" After another 30 minutes of driving Jane pulled up to the castle. He led Lisbon to the front door. "A Mighty Fortress tells it all, the Lady Queen of Diamonds standing tall. In the heart of her mighty wall, tears they gently fall. Hidden deep within her heart, treasure for one and all." He quoted.
"The castle = Mighty Fortress. Here in the entry way is a painting of a lady. Do you see what's on her necklace?" Asked Jane.
Through the moonlight Lisbon noticed her necklace was full of diamonds, "The Lady Queen of Diamonds" she whispered. Jane pushed the picture to the side and there behind it a hidden passage. They could hear the fainted sound… like rain or a water fall – "The tears they gently fall" the both said at the same time. Jane and Lisbon looked at each other and smiled. "Come on," said Jane and he reached for her hand and lead her through the passage.
