Sorry for my LONG ramble there guys...enjoy the next chapter :D
Previously: "My apartment...It was in my apartment...he was in there. You knew he had been there and you let me go there too." Jane was speechless...he simply stared into her eyes which were slowly filling with tears. Lisbon stood up. "I have to go."
"Wait Lisbon...I..."
"Don't bother Jane...this was your fault. I...I can't even look at you right now." She grabbed her Jacket and stormed out of the office slamming her door behind her.
Jane was stunned. That wasn't easily done but the whole thing had caught him off guard. Yes, he had known that she would have to know about the note eventually…but he wasn't expecting that to be today. He couldn't even muster up the will to try and lie to her. To tell her that yes he had found the note…but not in her house. That was what this…this argument was really about. The fact that he had actually known about it…known that going back to her own apartment would have lead to potentially more danger…which it did. She knew it. She knew it was his fault. His fault that this man had managed to find her again. He had unwillingly put her in danger…again…like many other times but this time….it could have been fatal…and that was the worst part.
Jane sat…he couldn't even summon the courage to go into the bullpen…where the prying eyes of his colleagues would be….each one of them eager to know what had happened. That was why he wasn't surprised when she door slowly creaked open….he slowly turned around to see VanPelt, whose normally bright eyed smiling face was creased with worry, wonder and a hint of anger. Anger not directed at him necessarily…but he knew it would be…soon. Her anger was directed at the other 2 team member…who had obviously forced this pitiful task onto her.
"I assume….by your expression that you want to know what happened between me and Lisbon." She nodded. "I'm sorry m'dear but that happens to be between her and I."
"You can't not tell us Jane…we all heard her shouting…it's about the case…she said it herself, you have to tell us…Rules. Anything pertinent to the investigation has to be reported…"
He waved his hand at her to stop her from continuing and saw her expression turn to hurt.
"I got in VanPelt…look I'm sorry I can't tell you right now…I have to find her."
"She can look after herself…I'm sorry Jane but you have to tell us…if you withhold any information impertinent to the case…you will be arrested. I'm sorry Jane…I am but if you refuse to tell me or present me with any information that you have…then I will have to arrest you."
Jane was shocked. Lost for words for the second time today. "I…I…fine okay…I will tell you but can we please hurry this up…I need to get out of here and find her because none of this information is relevant if I find her and it's too late."
"We will be as fast as we can. We should probably do this in a room." She ushered Jane into an interrogation room and beckoned to Cho and Rigsby to follow. Jane seated across the table from Rigsby and VanPelt while Cho stood in the corner all three of them eager to know the withheld information.
"Start from the beginning"
"Okay…Lisbon was in the hospital and I went to her place to get her some stuff. I found a note. Her attacker had left it so obviously he knew where she lived. I figured that if we went back there, he would come back and we could get him." He looked at the anger and shock that started to penetrate the team's blank expressions.
"I planned on being there. I planned on staying with her and taking him down when he came. But she chucked me out. There was nothing I could do. That's why I had Rigsby camp out front for security…but he managed to get past."
"Do you have the note?"
"Oh ummm yeahh here…Listen I know you guys are angry but to be brutally honest…I don't care. What I care about now is finding Lisbon. So If you don't mind…I would like to go."
He got up and walked out of the room ignoring the teams efforts to call him back.
It was beautiful day outside….but he seemed to be immune to it. Something was blocking his sunshine…and he knew exactly what it was…his guilty conscience.
He headed to his car and headed for the place he had come to know so well. His moment of realization had come half way through it journey. He pulled the car over to the side of the road. Lisbon isn't stupid….she wouldn't just go home….where she knew she would be in danger. Where would Lisbon go….to get away….somewhere where she knew he wouldn't go.
He felt it…a pang of anger…and he was surprised that it wasn't misguided. His anger was directed purely at Lisbon. She could have no doubt in her mind that he would follow her but to lead him to that place…that was cold. But…no matter how angry he was he could never blame her. He had hurt her…he had concealed information which had lead to a second attack. Something that maybe she could never forgive him for. This is why he had to follow her. This is why he had to go back to that place…why he had to fix what he had done…win back her trust…even if it means facing memories…the most painful memories.
Okay so I know this is short and for that I am SO SO SO SO SORRY…but I really wanted to end it on that part.
Thankyou to everyone for your incredible reviews and everyone for adding me to alerts and favorites… :)
I'll try and update again as soon as I can.
One more thing: This is for you Lynne (Jisbon-sessed): RedJohn is as gay as tinky-winky…who by the way is still handcuffed to my door handle…evil crazy psycho stalker! Just so everyone knows…I have nothing against Gay people :) it's just an inside joke :D
Hope you all enjoy this short (again sorry about that) chapter :D
