They were all at their desks, Cho who read a book on the side, Rigsby who looked to Grace who was testing new programs on her computer. Lisbon was sorting files in her office and Jane was lying on his couch. There had been no case on this day, which was positive on the one hand, but meant that it would be a very boring working day. Until Patrick Jane who had been lying on his couch and sleeping until that time decided to straighten up. He then got up and made his way to Teresa's office. As always, he entered it without knocking, and walked towards her couch. She was still on the phone and therefore could not react, but he had already laid down on the couch and closed his eyes. After hanging up, she looked at him skeptically.

' Uh Jane, what's that going to be?''

'I'm lying on her couch.''
'Yes, I see that and why don't they lie on their couch?''
'I want to keep them a little company, they are alone in their office all day.''

And what if I also wanted to lie down? On my couch.''

Then she saw Jane lie closer to the backrest, she didn't quite understand what he wanted until he knocked next to him with his left hand.

'You are not serious.''

"Now they come to Lisbon the couch is big enough for both of us and if not they are free to lie down on me." He had to laugh after finishing the last part of the sentence because he could imagine exactly how she looked at him now, completely shocked with his mouth open.

However, she decided to surprise him and go according to his demand. So she got up and sat down on the edge.

In the meantime, an elderly man entered the CBI building and went up to the open office where the three agents were sitting. He himself was in his mid-60s, had gray hair, a red shirt on and normal jeans. After stepping out of the elevator, he looked around, you could tell he was looking for someone. And then he saw someone who might be able to help him. So he stood next to the black-haired man who was reading a pretty thick book.

' Excuse me, could they help me?''

' What?' the man asked succinctly, while the other two people now turned to the two men and looked forward to them.

"
I'm looking for someone to work here. I'm not sure where I can find him.'', What's his name.''

', I'm looking for Patrick Jane.''

Then Rigsby got up and stood at Cho's desk. He first wanted to know who this guy was, Jane was a team member and they had to make sure that this was not someone from Red John.

' And who are they?' asked Rigsby.

' I'm Alex, an old friend of Patrick's.''

"He would have to be in the lisbon office. The one in front there.'' Cho explained again until he looked at Rigsby and continued to talk to him.

'What did he do again?''

" Who knows, she hasn't yelled at him yet. ''

Alex heard what the two agents were saying and then ran towards the office. Without thinking about it, he opened the door. The two people in the room had apparently not noticed that a third person had just opened the door. The older gentleman saw Patrick lying on the couch and a black-haired woman sitting in front of him, he had his eyes closed and she looked at him. Until he suddenly jerked open his eyes and grabbed the woman by the hips to pull her on her. Sie was frightened and began to scream briefly, until the scream changed into a laugh. There was no one left in the open office as the three had gathered in the kitchen to have a bite to eat, and Alex was still watching Patrick and Teresa.

' Jane let me go.''

'But why?''

' Because that's unprofessional, and uncomfortable.''

'Do you want to say that I'm uncomfortable?''
Lisbon just nodded and then he started tickling her. She couldn't explain to herself why she hadn't beaten him long ago.

"Okay, okay I'll take it back," she admitted with a laugh.

Then she turned around and saw the man standing in the room, frightened by much she almost from Jane who still held her.

'Um, Jane, would they let me go now, I think there's a case.'"
He did what she said and then looked at the man. Now his eyes widened and he put off his grin to put on an emotionless mask. In the meantime, Teresa had presented herself normally.

And looked at her barely cheerful advisor.

''Have you ever heard of knocking?''

She didn't want to sound rude in any way, but the fact that he just stood in the room without knocking wasn't exactly polite either. Since she didn't get an answer and Jane didn't have anything to say, which was unusual in addition to noticed, she decided to talk again.

"Okey, good can we do anything for them?"

''I was actually looking for Patrick.''

After hearing this, Teresa turned around and saw her advisor now stiffened and sitting on the couch with a rigid look. She didn't really know what to think, after all, not every day someone came and looked for Jane. And she had never seen him like that before.

', What do you want here?''

But before Alex could answer, Lisbon talked again in between. And looked at Patrick.

"You know him? Do they want me to leave them alone? Of course, only on the condition that they don't build crap.''

She could not omit the last part, but to her hope he smiled at her slightly but then only shook his head. Lisbon then sat down at her desk and prepared a new file. Even though she knew she couldn't concentrate.

Patrick hadn't heard of him in years and now he didn't want to. First he had used it when he was a teenager just to make a lot of money and then he didn't care what became of him when he didn't want to anymore. This man had reported again when his family was murdered when he was feeling better again. Patrick could not understand what he wanted here.

"I wanted to see you, I wanted to know how you were doing well and what you were doing. Whether you have got your life back under control. But as I see here, you're doing quite well, and you've screwed it up. I mean how you can fool around here.''

Lisbon's gaze wandered back and forth between the two men and after hearing what the unknown one had just said to her, she could no longer take her gaze away from Patrick. It was one thing to just go to her office but another to accuse Patrick Jane of some terrible things like that.

''You saw me, now you can leave again.''

Jane became more and more angry, he didn't want to see him or hear what he was saying. He would never be able to forget the death of his family and just because he had some luck in his life again did not mean that he had coped with anything, there would always be a hole in his heart and he too was often trapped in a deep hole when he thought about his past. And if there was one person who made him laugh and helped him out of that hole, it was Teresa Lisbon.

'Patrick , don't you want to at least introduce me to your girlfriend?''

' She's not my girlfriend, and now go.''

Teresa was not very insecure about Jane's cold tone. She didn't know if he completely ruled it out and just couldn't imagine it or if it had something to do with the man. Then he came up to her and stretched out his hand to her.

"Hello, My name is Alex. I'm happy to meet them.''

,, Teresa.''

' , Leave them alone.''

Jane put down his emotionless expression and turned into an angry expression. Then he also stood up. And Lisbon's gaze became more and more confused, as the older man in the room noticed and took advantage of it.

' Patrick don't you want to tell Teresa who I am?''

"Why should I, you died for me years ago. It doesn't matter if she knows who you are or not.''

"But because I think it means something to you the way you looked at it."

If it hadn't been so serious between Patrick and Alex, Lisbon would definitely have turned red, but now she had to keep a cool head.

"It's absolutely none of your business," he hissed at Ales.

"The way I see it, it concerns me. Since you react this way, I assume that I am right with my assumption. Not many women made it, even if many tried. Am I right?''

''Once again, this is none of your business.''

"Since Patrick doesn't want to tell them, I'll do it for him. My name is Alex Jane and I am his father.''
