Hey so here' the next chapter, hope you like it :)

'JANE!' JANE STOP!' the team ran blindly towards the small Citroen.
'JANE! JANE!' Rigsby reached the car first and started to bang furiously on the windows 'Jane what are you doing?' he shouted through the partially opened window 'Stop you idiot! What are you doing?'
'I'm leaving,' Jane stated simply
'What? Why? What's going on? Did you find Lisbon-Jane talk to us, don't do this!'
'Why not?' Jane asked 'It's not like anyone cares anymore. It's not like any of you would miss me. I'd be doing you a favour.'
'Jane that's ridiculous!' Grace panted as she and Cho reached the car 'We all love you-you're a part of the family, our family. Don't do this'
'Your lying' Jane snapped realising slowly just how like a six year old he sounded
'No we're not Jane,' Cho said firmly 'You know we're not and all this is just you feeling overly sorry for yourself. Tomorrow you'll wake up safe and sound in your own bed and feel like a complete idiot for all of this. The only choice you have is whether or not you want to wake up as a normal idiot or as a wet and cold one.' Cho looked suggestively at the lake
Jane laughed.
He just couldn't help it. It didn't matter that he was feeling rotten, Cho's seriousness and quiet wit were just too much for him. And of course, he was right - not that Jane wanted to admit that
'Please turn the car round, Jane' Grace said quietly
'Please,' Rigsby added
'I..' Jane knew he was beaten 'I'll see you tomorrow' he mumbled and turned his Citroen around carefully, heading back to his apartment. It would have been a waste of such a nice car anyway, he thought.
…
'So, what your saying is that you found Lisbon, talked to her, told her you'd beg for her job back…and she said no?' Rigsby looked very confused
'Yes,' Jane said tiredly, he'd been through this a hundred times and the memory wasn't getting any less painful
'Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly odd?' Rigsby looked at his colleagues, his blue eyes wide open
'Well of course it's odd!' VanPelt snapped at him 'Lisbon's job means everything to her! There has to be a reason she said no. A really good reason,' she turned away and dabbed her eyes, Lisbon hadn't even been gone that long but she already missed her a lot. Lisbon held the team together and without her they were falling apart.
'Yes, there's got to be a reason. What we have to find out is what is the reason,' Cho said matter-of-factly 'Did you pick up on anything, Jane?'
'I, er, don't know. It was kinda hard to get a read on her. I wasn't, um, really concentrating very hard,' he coughed uncomfortably 'All I could think was that she was acting like someone who was being watched-but that's ridiculous,'
'Is it?' VanPelt asked
'C'mon, Grace. Nobody could get themselves into so much trouble that they were being watched in a month,' Rigsby grinned
'Actually, I wouldn't really put it past her. Lisbon seems to have a sort of talent for getting into trouble,' Jane smiled grimly 'The question is what kind of trouble is she in,'
'Well it wouldn't be drug related,' Rigsby said firmly 'Lisbon doesn't do drugs, never.'
'Maybe gambling?' Cho suggested 'If she needed the money,'
'Could be something to do with her family. I know she doesn't mention them much but I reckon she'd do pretty much anything for any of those brothers of hers if they needed her to.' VanPelt added
Somewhere outside HQ a clock chimed midnight
'Look, why don't we all go home and think about it. We can all pool ideas tomorrow morning,' Jane said 'Although you might be on to something with the family VanPelt-can you run an over night search on her brothers. See if they've been up to anything recently,'
'Sure thing,' Grace smiled
'Night everyone,' Jane said quietly
Hope you all enjoyed it-i know its really short, reviews appreciated :)
