A/N: I might make the team do some investigating together, because Lisbon usually separates them to do different things, but because they are not in their usual office, it might change a bit. Review and keep reading!

Chapter 9:

As the sun rose, everyone in the house started to wake. By seven, Jeff was already in the kitchen with Jane, Lisbon and Cho drinking coffee and tea. Rays of sun, slanted through the oval shaped windows that encircled the kitchen. The stools that stood around the island were occupied by the awaking people, who sat together making awkward conversation. Grace and Wayne were soundlessly asleep in her bedroom, unable to sleep most of the night, but finally letting sleep overtake them at four. As someone knocked on the door, Grace sprung to life and hit Wayne hard on the arm.

"Get under the bed, someone's here." She whispered. He slid off the bed obediently and tried to squeeze his long body under the bed.

"Come in." He could hear Grace saying above him.

"Hello there sleepy head, Wayne you can come out, the coast is clear." said Jane stepping into the bedroom, and closing it behind him. Wayne rolled over until he was besides Jane's feet, bereft his pants and shirt.

"Ooh, Wayne in his boxers, another mental image I will have in my head." He said taking an imaginary picture with an imaginary camera. Grace laughed a bit, but Wayne glowered, and stood up to his regular size.

"Can you get out Jane?" He said pointing to the door. Jane twirled a bit and scampered out of the room. He skipped down the hall entering the kitchen and taking his seat besides Cho.

"Is she up yet?" Lisbon asked sipping her black coffee.

"Yeah, and Wayne too, they'll be here in about two minutes." He said munching on the piece of toast Jeff set in front of him.

"Well tell them to hurry up, I just found out where Stacey worked." She said.

"It's horrible what happened to Stacey, she was a good girl before all the drugs." He said cutting his omelet in half and taking an enormous bite. Grease slid down the side of his mouth, and he wiped it away with his hands. Jeff's size made everyone feel like a little dwarf when you stood next to him. His large hands made you think of all the scary things he could do with them. No wonder he was a football player and coach. Jane thought curiously. He probably enjoyed tormenting his players by his size, and scaring them into playing harder.

"Hi dad." Grace said walking into the kitchen and giving him a small peck on the cheek.

"Where's Leanne?" She asked.

"Oh, she's still in bed, you know, getting her beauty sleep." Jeff said chuckling quietly. Jane joined in for no apparent reason, and finished his toast with a satisfied smile on his face. Wayne walked in a few seconds later. They had probably planned how many seconds apart they would walk in, thought Cho. It was written all over there faces that he had spent the night in her room, although he hadn't heard anything in the night. Cho looked over at Jane, and saw his ecstatic smile, thinking the same thing that he was.

"Rigsby, make your coffee to go, we have a case to investigate people, let's go." Lisbon said grabbing the car keys off the counter and making her way outside. Everyone thanked Jeff and followed Lisbon for the hour long car ride they had to endure together.

An hour later, they had reached a small town northeast from where Grace lived. Lisbon parked in front of a large drugstore near a gas station. They all piled out of the car and waited for Lisbon's instructions.

"Cho and Wayne, wait in the car for any updates from the local police. Van Pelt and Jane come with me." Cho and Wayne got into the car willingly and sat waiting. Lisbon, Jane and Van Pelt walked into the drugstore looking around suspiciously.

"Stacey worked here for about a year, her boss didn't know much about her, only she was late many times, and stole one time from the store." Lisbon said.

"Why did they keep her then?" Grace asked.

"Because she worked hard when she was willing." Jane said.

"Yes." Lisbon said, still in awe at how he could tell these things. The store was like any other drugstore, but was two stories high. The rooms smelled of medication and sweat, but the employee's tried to decorate the walls with photos to make the place seem happier. Parents walked down the aisle holding their young children by the arms, refusing to buy them anything. Old men and women took their time finding what they were looking for, and asking younger children to help them reach certain objects. Teenagers swarmed around in groups, trying on makeup, or stealing magazines. Lisbon, Grace and Jane walked up to the cashier, a sixteen year old girl with blue hair and several piercings.

"CBI, we'd like to ask you a couple of questions about this girl." Lisbon said flashing her badge and showing a picture of Stacey taken in high school. After digging around, Grace found some pictures that they had taken together.

The teenager looked stared into Lisbon's eyes, popping her green gum and drumming her fake fingernails on the counter.

"You better answer her questions; you have no idea what she's capable of." Jane said playing with some of the objects for sale. He stood behind Lisbon and bent his neck to the side pulling an imaginary rope, mimicking somebody killing themselves. The girl's face paled and she looked at the picture carefully. Jane turned around walking down the aisles, a smile on his face.

"Yeah, that's Stacey. She usually works the morning shifts, if she's not drunk or high." The girl said pushing the picture back towards Lisbon who put it back in her pocket.

"Is there anything else you can tell us, friends, boyfriend, family?" Grace said hopefully. Lisbon stared at her in annoyance for stealing her line.

"Well there would be these two girls who sometimes came in and hanged around with her during her shifts." She said playing with her hair. Grace and Lisbon waited for her to keep talking, but she stood there staring at them with deep brown eyes.

"Oh, you want me to tell you. Well I know that one of them is called Snow since she used coke the most; they never used real names only nicknames. And I think the other one's name is Angel Eyes." Jane came back to the counter holding a bag of chips and listening to the girl talking.

"How much for the chips?" He asked politely taking out his wallet from his back pocket.

"1.99." she said swiping it through the machine and handing him back his change and receipt.

"Oh and what did you say her boyfriends name was?" Jane asked leaning forward and pointing a finger at the girl waiting for her answer.

"Krazylocks." She said staring deeply into Jane's eyes.

"Thanks." He said giving her a charming smile and turning around.

"Come on girls, she doesn't know more than that." He said as he sauntered towards the exit, all eyes on him.

Grace and Lisbon slightly confused followed after him until they reached the familiar black car.

"You didn't even touch her, how could you possibly have hypnotized her?" Lisbon asked turning in her seat with a shocked expression on her face.

"Now that's a trick I will never reveal." He said taking a chip and shoving it in his mouth eagerly. Wayne and Cho stuffed their hands in as well and took out a handful.

"Any news from the local PD?" Lisbon asked

"They found Stacey's local hangout for dealing and doing drugs. Its south from here, about twenty minutes." Cho said munching on the greasy chips.

"Good, Wayne, go through the system to find druggies by the names of Snow, Angel Eyes, and Krazylocks. And that's with a K." She said closing her notepad.

"What kind of name is Krazylocks?" Wayne asked turning on the laptop.

"I like it." Jane said from the backseat smiling at Lisbon. She scowled and turned around, putting the car into drive.

The druggie's hangout was in a dark alley way, in a door barely visible. As the agents came up to the door, Lisbon motioned for Jane to wait outside, since he wasn't armed. He agreed, too scared to even go inside if he was armed. Lisbon motioned with her fingers for Grace to go to the side and check the perimeter, and Cho and Wayne to go in with her. Lisbon knocked on the door with her small sturdy fist.

"CBI, we have some questions we'd like to ask you." She said knocking on the door again. She could hear the music being lowered, but nobody making an attempt to open the door. She nodded to Wayne, who with one swift kick knocked the door open. They walked in with their arms straight, their guns ready to be used on anyone who tried to shoot them.

"Get down on your knees, everyone." Lisbon roared pointing her gun to the men and women who roamed around the small hangout. Girls were wrapped up in blankets shaking uncontrollably moving their body's back and forth. They mumbled to themselves, their pale faces growing an unnatural color. Men were slumped over tables and chairs unconscious. Some people were still taking drugs when Lisbon, Cho and Wayne came inside. The bar was full of dust and cobwebs, untouched by anyone. The only light was coming through a fist sized window, and several small lamps scattered across the room. Everyone listened obediently to the agents and fell to their knees, staring at them with large red eyes.

"Which one of you is Krazylocks?" Cho yelled pointing the gun around the room, scanning the crowd. Out of nowhere a man flew from behind the drapes knocking Lisbon onto the ground on the way out.

"Jane!" she yelled as she got up slowly. She went after the suspect, but Jane had gotten him first. As he ran out the door, Jane, hearing his name and seeing the man run, pulled his arm out in front of the door, smashing into Krazylock's noise and knocking him out cold.

"How'd you do that?" Lisbon asked handcuffing Krazylocks and pulling him up, shoving him against the brick wall.

"I don't know, but I can't feel my arm." Jane said shaking his arm and whining like a baby. He jumped up and down, moving it wildly trying to hold back screams of pain. Wayne and Cho came out, laughing as they saw Jane in front of them.

"We found Snow and Angel Eyes boss." Cho said.

"Good, get Van Pelt and bring them down to the local PD. We've got some interrogating to do." She said grabbing Krazylocks in her hand and dragging Jane with the other.
