Continuing on from chapter five...
"Hey Cho. You seen Lisbon?"
"No, last I heard she was meeting Jane for lunch somewhere."
"Oh. Hey, Jane hasn't been back here either, has he?'
"No...you think maybe we should check on them?"
"Yeah, maybe. Hey, Van Pelt!" She turns her head my way and smiles.
"Yeah?"
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Sure."
"Can you try calling Jane? I'll see if I can get a hold of Lisbon." She frowns, worried.
"Why? Is something wrong?"
"Maybe."
"Okay, sure thing." She turns back to her computer, pulls out her phone and dials Jane's number.
"You know you could have asked me. I'm right here."
"Whatever, Cho." I smile. He smirks, walking away.
I dial Lisbon's number and wait...two, three, four rings...voicemail. "I've got no answer, you?"
"Not yet."
"Try again." I hit redial and wait...still no answer.
"Van Pelt?"
"Nothing."
"...Something's off here."
"What do you want with me?" I ask, tiresome. Tiresome, angry, furious... my head's still hurting and I'm starting to see double.
"Oh you'll just have to wait and see, agent. I have a plan for both you and Mister Jane."
"Where is he?"
"Oh you don't need to know that." I stare at him, furious. How I wish I wasn't tied to a pole right now... "Such violent thoughts, agent. You and Jane seem to be quite hateful today." All I do is stare. I can't seem to form any more words, my temples are throbbing wildly.
A noise escapes me, a quiet one, but a noise nonetheless. Something borderline of pain and worry. He notices.
"I see the drugs are kicking in. Looks like you'll be out for a while, agent. Sweet dreams." He turns and walks away. I want to call out and tell him to wait, that I need to ask him if Jane's okay, if he's okay...but darkness clouds over and I can feel myself falling.
