Disclaimer: I own noooooothing!
Jane woke up feeling better than he had for a long time, well, for a month at least. Today they were going to find out what was wrong with Lisbon. Then they were going to fix it, and then they were going to bring her back. Back to the CBI, back to him. Back where she was safe, where he could keep an eye on her.
He was the last of the team in, as usual, but they all greeted him with smiles. No doubt trying to make him feel better. He walked over to VanPelt's desk hopefully, maybe the overnight search had found something
'Well, Grace?' he asked
'Well the search has pulled up some dirt on her brothers,' she replied 'But it's mainly small and none of it's particularly recent. I'm sorry Jane but I don't think there's anything here we can work with.' She smiled sadly
'Well, um, never mind. Thanks for trying. There must be something else. Any ideas, people?'
'Well,' Rigsby said 'Er, Cho and I, we…well we…we were wondering if it might…if it could be, maybe,' he didn't finish. He knew Jane knew what he was talking about
'No,' Jane said firmly 'That can't be it. She was alive. I can't believe that's it…I mean, he wouldn't, she couldn't…I' he trailed off laughing uncomfortably 'I-It's just not possible,'
At that moment Joel, one of the newer security guards came running up to them, panting
'I…I…downstairs…she's..' he pointed feebly at the elevator
'Hey Joel that's what radios are for,' Rigsby joked, elbowing Cho in the ribs.
'No but…' he panted half turning back the direction he came. Rigsby stopped laughing. Jane walked over to Joel slowly and put a finger lightly on the mark on his sleeve.
'Er, Joel..what's this?' Jane asked a little shakily
'M-Miss Lisbon,' he wheezed pulling an inhaler out of his pocket
They didn't need to hear anymore
The whole team ran for the elevator, pushing everyone else out of the way.
It didn't move quick enough. The minute the doors opened they burst into the entrance hall looking around wildly.
Then he saw her.
She was sitting with her back against the wall just outside the building, eyes closed. Her clothes were ripped and she was covered in blood. So much blood. He'd never seen so much. It was literally all over her.
Jane ran.
'Lisbon! Lisbon!,' he shouted, once he reached her he knelt down beside her 'Lisbon! Lisbon? Can you hear me? Lisbon?'
'Shutup,' she mumbled, not opening her eyes. Jane laughed in relief. The team reached him looking worried
'I-Is she?' VanPelt asked breathlessly
'She's alive,' Jane whispered 'But only barely, call the paramedics,'
'Stothat,' Lisbon slurred barely audibly
'What?' Jane asked
'Whispring…you're….you're patrnsing me,' they all laughed, maybe she was nearly dead, but she was still Lisbon.
'So sorry, ma'am,' Jane apologised
'Shdbe,' Lisbon breathed
'I am,' Jane said quietly and he knew she understood he meant for more than whispering
'Stay with me, Lisbon. You're not going anywhere yet. Anywhere,' he said, as much for his reassurance as for hers and he put a comforting hand on her blood soaked shoulder.
She winced
'Er, that's probably not the best idea man,' Rigsby said eyeing the deep gashes on Lisbon's arms
'No, er, perhaps not,' Jane admitted, retracting his hand.
The paramedics arrived soon after that and the whole team attempted to pile into the ambulance with Lisbon
'Er, why don't you just follow us in your own car,' one of the paramedics suggested looking up and down all 6 foot 4 inches of Rigsby
'One of you can stay with her,' Jane jumped into the ambulance
'See you at the hospital,' he grinned and the others walked away to their cars mumbling to each other and giving Jane evil glares over their shoulders. Jane just smiled innocently.
'Closing up,' the paramedic warned, and Jane went and sat next to Lisbon
'Stay with me, Lisbon,' he said quietly 'Stay with me,'
