Chapter 4
Grace pulled up to the CBI building. She parked her car and got out. Alexis followed her.
"Hey Alexis, when we go in here you've got to stay close to me okay. And don't touch anything unless you get permission. Please be careful" Grace said
"I will, don't worry Grace" Alexis said with a smile
"Thanks Alexis" Grace said. They entered the building, and got into the elevator. Soon they were at the door of the bull pen.
"Lisssbon!" Jane called
"What?" Lisbon yelled
"I'm bored" Jane said
"I don't care" Lisbon retorted
"What? Lisbon doesn't care about me. I would be hurt but we all know you're madly in love with me" Jane said with a childish grin
Lisbon rolled her eyes "You wish." Lisbon said trying not to smile.
Rigsby and Cho sat at their desks and watched Lisbon and Jane.
Grace stood uneasily at the door, she hadn't seen her team since they found her breaking down outside the building. She was eager to see them , but now that she was actually there she was a little nervous. She hated how she could get so nervous about little things.
Alexis could sense Grace's hesitancy, she looked up at her with an encouraging smile. She didn't know why Grace was upset but she did know she wanted Grace to be happy "It's okay" Alexis said
"Thanks" Grace said with a small smile. "Let's go" Grace said to Alexis
They walked into the bull pen. It was awkward and silent for a minute but the moment soon passed.
"Nice to see you Van Pelt. How are you doing?" Lisbon asked Grace
"I'm hanging in there. But I've got Alexis so it's all good!" Grace said with a smile
Lisbon smiled sympathetically then looked at Alexis
"And you must be Alexis! How are you doing?" Lisbon said in a light and happy voice that she rarely use. She knelt down so she was level with Alexis
"Yep! I'm Alexis, and I'm okay. Who are you?" Alexis asked
"I'm Teresa Lisbon, I'm Grace's boss" Lisbon stated
"Nice to meet you! You seem fun!" Alexis said with a smile
By then the rest of the team had gathered around Alexis. Alexis looked around…
"Hi, I'm Alexis!" She said to Rigsby
"Hey there! I'm Wayne Rigsby" He said with a smile
"Cool! You're really nice" Alexis said
Then she turned to the man with dark hair next to Rigsby.
"Hi!" Alexis chirped
"Hello" Cho said his face remained expressionless
"How are you?" Alexis asked
"I'm fine" Cho said, still keeping the same expression
Alexis giggled "I like you, you're funny!"
Cho smiled slightly "I knew it! So you do smile! For a while I thought you didn't know how!" Alexis proudly stated. Everyone laughed and Cho smiled.
Alexis then turned to the blonde man sitting next to Lisbon.
"Hi!"
"Hello, so you're Alexis?" Jane asked
"Yep!" Alexis nodded
"You're four years old. You just moved in with Grace, and you love her very much. Though you've only known each other for a few days. I can tell that you will be good with music, you're smart, and you will be very athletic! You love animals but your favorites are unicorns, horses, and dogs. Your favorite colors are rainbow, and teal. And you don't like the dark." Jane stated simply.
Alexis stared at Jane in amazement "You were right! How did you know? Not even mommy or daddy knew all that."
Everyone looked sympathetically at Alexis with the mention of her parents. But she didn't seem to notice.
"I can tell by the way you act" Jane said
"Really? Are you physic?" Alexis asked curiously
"Nope, just observant" Jane said
"Wow! You're really cool" Alexis said with a huge smile
"Would you like to see a magic trick?" Jane asked Alexis.
"Sure!" Alexis said
"Okay" Jane said and pulled out a deck of cards
"Pick a card from anywhere in the deck. Don't show it to me, but show it to Grace and her friends"
Jane held out the deck to Alexis, Alexis closed her eyes and spun around. Then she stopped and picked a card. She opened her eyes, and examined her card. It was a 4 of hearts. She turned around and showed the card the Grace, Lisbon, Rigsby, and Cho.
Grace and Lisbon smiled encouragingly at Alexis, Rigsby and Cho nodded.
She then turned back to Jane. "Put your card back anywhere in the deck"
Alexis followed Jane's instructions. "Now I'm going to pull your card from the top of the deck" Jane told Alexis.
He then pulled the top card from the deck, it was a queen of hearts. He held it up for everyone to see.
"Is this your card?" Jane asked Alexis
"No, sorry… But you can try again" Alexis said
"Ha! Great trick Jane, you really fooled all of us!" Lisbon said sarcastically with a grin
"You would be right Lisbon if you weren't talking about me, but I'm never wrong!" Jane said smugly
"Really Jane? Because I'm pretty that wasn't a 4 of hearts!" Lisbon said
Jane stuck out his tongue childishly, and Lisbon rolled her eyes "Honestly Jane, Alexis is four and she's more mature then you!" Lisbon teased. The rest of the team tried not to laugh as Jane ignored Lisbon.
Jane made a show of looking for his wallet "Here it is!" He exclaimed when he found it
"Alexis could you open up my wallet, and tell me the first thing you see?"
"Sure!" Alexis said, she took the wallet from Jane's outstretched hand and opened it.
"It's my card!" Alexis said, and pulled it out for everyone to see.
"Wow! Did you mean to do that?" Alexis asked amazed by Jane's trick
"Why yes I did! Thanks for noticing, you're very smart" Jane told Alexis
"Thank you" Alexis said with a smile, then she ran over to Grace
"Grace did you see that? It was so awesome!" Alexis said
"I did! That was really cool!" Grace said
Jane turned to Lisbon "Look who was right… again!" Jane teased
"Whatever Jane… You're going to be wrong sometime" Lisbon said
"Haha, that's a good one Lisbon!" Jane pretended to laugh.
Lisbon rolled her eyes and turned to Grace " You're welcome to stay for the day if you'd like"
"I'd love to but Alexis and I have to get home." Grace said
"Okay. She's adorable by the way" Lisbon said
"Isn't she! I need to get going. It was good seeing everyone. Bye!" Grace said
"Bye Van Pelt, bye Alexis" Everyone chorused
"Bye-Bye!" Alexis said cheerily as her and Grace left.
Once they were in Grace's car Alexis immediately started talking
"I really love your team!" Alexis said
Grace smiled, Alexis loved everyone "That's good, they're really great people! I can tell they all loved you too!"
