After half an hour Rigsby finally pulled into the driveway of the safe house. It looked like all the other houses down the street, it was perfect, and it blended into the background like camouflage.
"Come on" Rigsby said and he jumped from the car first, he went around and opened up Lucy's door, offering her his hand and helping her out from the car. Jane followed closely behind her whilst Cho grabbed the bags. Jane wrapped an arm around his daughter's waist protectively and followed Rigsby into the house. Once inside Cho flipped the light switch to illuminate the small living room which contained two sofas, a TV and an armchair. Rigsby locked the door of the safe house and closed the curtains. Lucy and Patrick just stood watching them as them moved hectically around the room.
"Boss" Cho said down the phone "They're here"
"Good" Lisbon replied from the Jane household. She was stood there holding an electronic device in her hands.
"You found anything back at the house?" Cho asked and Lisbon gasped as the gun pressed against her temple.
"No" Lisbon lied, looking into her captors eyes. Van Pelt murmured against the gag which was around her mouth and she tried to wriggle out of the ropes which bound her.
"Okay. We'll see you later boss" Cho said and hung up.
"Bye" Lisbon said into the phone. She handed the phone back to the man with the gun and he smirked from behind his mask.
"Turn around" he told Lisbon and she did as he said. She felt her hands being tied together behind her back and she gritted her teeth in frustration.
"Now, Agent Lisbon. Tell me where Jane is?" the man demanded threateningly as he quickly spun her around to face him.
"No" Lisbon whispered harshly and her captor laughed. He then raised the gun which he had taken from Lisbon and pointed it at Van Pelt.
"Tell me or she dies" the man offered and Lisbon sighed. She knew what she had to do.
"Jane's at 341 Main Street, near CBI" Lisbon told the man and he lowered the gun.
"Thank you for your cooperation Agent Lisbon...I have to say that I am surprised you were that easy to crack." He chuckled.
"We will get you Red John, make no mistake" Lisbon said as he dragged her into Jane's kitchen.
"You have been trying to catch me for many years now Agent Lisbon, I hardly think you will succeed now." Red John told her and he opened a door in Jane's kitchen. He dragged her down the stairs into the basement of the house.
"I have to say, I am impressed you found my bugging devices" Red John congratulated her as he went down the stairs "they were quite difficult to plant but they have been so effective for me...listening into every conversation they had has been quite...entertaining if you shall"
When they reached the bottom of the stairs Red John threw Teresa to the floor and she gasped in pain at the impact.
"I'll be back with the redhead" Red John told her and he climbed back up the stairs. Teresa heard the shutting of the door and realised that she now was trapped and if Red John got to the safe house then Jane's daughter was doomed. Red John was true to his word and he returned back into the basement with a struggling Van Pelt. He threw her next to Lisbon and looked down on the two defenceless women in glee. He was almost there.
"You two can stay here for a while...I am sure someone will find you eventually." Red John chuckled and he turned to go back up the stairs. Before he shut the door he turned his gaze on Lisbon and glared at her.
"Oh. Agent Lisbon, if you have given me a false address than be warned; I will be back and you shall suffer a fate worse than Jane's wife did"
Lisbon's face drained in colour at the thought of that and then the next thing which she heard was the slamming of the basement door and then the key slowly turning, locking her and Van Pelt in the cold, damp room.
...
"Why do you think he is back now?" Lucy asked her father who was laid next to her, stroking her hair as she laid her head on his shoulder. The two remaining Jane's were laid on a bed in the safe house whilst Cho and Rigsby were downstairs on lookout.
"I don't know Lucy...I couldn't quite work it out myself" Patrick told her honestly and he wished himself that he knew why he was back now. He had waited all of those years for the right moment but Jane didn't know why he had chosen now to resurface.
"He won't get to me...will he?" Lucy asked her dad and he kissed the top of her head.
"No...I will make sure of that" Patrick vowed and it was a promise he had made ever since he had seen his daughter and wife lay on the bedroom floor, covered in blood.
"I'm scared dad" Lucy whispered and Patrick held her close.
"I know honey...but it will be alright...Cho and Rigsby are here and then there is good old Lisbon..." Jane said and Lucy laughed once.
"I love you dad" Lucy said and Jane smiled. He never got tired of hearing her say that.
"I love you too" he said back and then he heard something from downstairs. It sounded like a gunshot. Jane quickly jumped off the bed and Lucy scrambled to sit up.
"You stay here" Jane told his daughter.
"No...I'm coming with you" she said stubbornly but Jane looked at her.
"No...you stay here" he told her strictly, his fatherly instincts taking over him. Lucy sighed and did as her father said. Jane quietly but hastily left the room and began to make his way down the side of the stairs. He saw Cho and Rigsby with their guns raised and pointed at the door. In the middle of the door there was a small hole where a bullet had come through. Jane remained stood on the stairs, staring at the bullet hole. After two minutes there came no more gunshots and so Jane descended the remaining stairs.
"What happened?" Jane asked Cho.
"Just heard the gunshot and that was it...we'll go out and check" Cho replied.
As the two agents walked out of the door Jane looked to the floor where the bullet was and he examined it. It was the same type used to kill Louise. As Jane looked into the darkness at the two agents he heard a piercing scream.
"Daddy...!" Lucy screamed and Jane turned back towards the stairs, taking them two at a time until he reached the top. He ran down the corridor and back into the room where he had left his daughter. As he got to the room he couldn't open the door. It had been locked. Cho and Rigsby had also heard the screams and they were close behind Jane.
"It's locked" Jane told them and Cho pushed him out the way and pointed his gun at the door. He shot at it and then tried to open it again and this time it worked. The three men ran into the room, Cho and Rigsby with their guns raised whilst Jane just stumbled into the middle of the room, looking hastily around for a sign of his daughter. There was nothing. Jane noticed the window had been smashed open and he looked outside but he couldn't see anything in the darkness.
