Jane went over and got the four of them breakfasts while Cho filled Lisbon in on what had happened then he and Holly sat eating the waffles at a table.

"I'm glad your okay, I love you Daddy," Jane turned to look at her and smiled kindly.

"I love you too Hol," she returned his smile.

"Yummy, waffles," said Cho as he sat down and dug in, as did Lisbon but with more finnesse. Jane finished first and took the oppurtunity to study the newcomer. She looked confident, a sign of a good leader, Jane would have betted her bossy nature meant she was itching to get her own team.

"How soon can Holly be out of this hospital?" Lisbon asked pushing away her empty plate.

"Wouldn't you like to know," he flashed a grin at her frown, really he was fed up with CBI bugging Holly.

"You're supposed to say please," said Holly pushing away her own empty plate.

"Please?" Cho said as he finished, Jane's grin widened.

"Today or tommorrow," he said finally.

"Brilliant!" said Lisbon happily, "we can sign her out and get to CBI now and have the sketch out on the morning news,"

"I don't think so," Jane scoffed.

"Well why not?" asked Lisbon.

"Because I'm fed up of you guys traumatizing her,"

"Holly, why don't you and I go and get us some drinks?" Cho asked.

"No thanks, I'd rather watch Daddy and Lisbon arguing," she grinned happily at Cho as they all looked at her, "fine," she agreed and hurried off with Cho.

"How have we traumatized her?"

"If you guys hadn't done that broadcast Red John wouldn't have tried to kill my daughter,"

"What?!" Lisbon gaped, "what makes you think that?"

"If he was going to kill her he would have done it before. He only had his accomlice attack after the broadcast, it worried him," Lisbon was quiet for a minute as she realized he was right.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't my idea," she looked genuinely sorry, "but that doesn't mean you should prevent us from catching your wife'd killer,"

"I don't want you to catch him," Jane said, his expression darkening, "I want him to die," Lisbon looked slightly worried by this.

"How about I throw your ass in jail for obstructing my investigation,"

"I thought it was Bosco's investigation?" Jane replied unfazed by her threat.

"It'll be mine when I get my own team soon," Lisbon tried and failed to surpress a proud smile.

"Who's on your team?" he asked politely and grinned at her surprised face.

"Cho and another agent of my choice. And I'll be assigned a rookie at some point. What has this got to do with Holly and a sketch artist?"

"You should take Rigsby, he and Cho make a good team," Jane continued and his grin widened at her increased surprise.

"How did you...?"

"I'm psychic remember," his expression turned serious, "I'll take Holly to see the sketch artist now if you do something for me,"

"This is not a negotion Jane!" Lisbon complained.

"Going once... going twice..."

"Depends what it is," she grumbled.

"At some point in the future I'm going to ask you a question and whatever it is you have to say yes,"

"That's it?"

"That's it, and I promise it won't be something illegal," he studied Lisbon's face and she nodded, he flashed a triumphant smile at her and held out his hand, "deal?"

"Deal," Lisbon agreed and shook his hand.

"Let's go talk to Dr Wheeler then," said standing up as Cho and Holly approached them carrying the drinks.

"What about these?" asked Cho.

"Who cares?" grinned Holly, "I'm getting out of the hospital,"

"But I paid for these," Cho protested.

"You'll get over it," said Jane patting him on the shoulder as he took Holly's hand and followed by Lisbon went to see Dr Wheeler. Within the hour they were all checked out and on the way to CBI.

Jane smiled inwardly and glanced at Holly beside him, she seemed okay. He was pleased with how it'd gone with Lisbon, the morphine of course had helped give him enough confidence to be his usual charming self. Lisbon had agreed though and he'd put in a good word for Rigsby, his plan to get Red John had been put in motion. After the sketch had come on TV Red John would stay away from Holly, he would no longer have a reason to kill her. Assuming he succeded in not pissing him off again, which shouldn't be hard considering he had no desire to be anywhere near a camera ever again.

They pulled up at CBI...
