Chapter 3

The three of them met at O'Malley's after their last case.

Cho didn't beat around the bush at all. "It's clearly a Red John case. Jane must have shot the wrong man."

Van Pelt frowned slightly. "Do you think that he guessed as much?"

"That would explain why he disappeared without notice."

There was a pause as the implications of such a situation slowly sunk in.

"What if Red John decides to go after the boss? Remember what he did to Kristina Frye – and Jane had only asked her on a date."

The other two considered Rigsby's question for a while.

"Don't think so." Cho stated in the end. "He left her shortly after their wedding, and now she's carrying another man's child. Red John might consider this enough punishment for Jane."

"We have to catch him nonetheless."

Van Pelt looked very determined now. They were going to do whatever it took in order to ensure Lisbon's safety.

She was not only their boss, but also their friend after all.
