Thanks you for all the lovely reviews they help me with my thoughts. This is all about the trial and what happens before and afterwards there is going to be a little angst/ romance and a surprise for Patrick.

I have decided to do it in parts as it's getting to long. In this part Patrick finds out what happened to Charlotte, Teresa awakens more and things go from bad to worse but does get better.

I don't own the Mentalist.

Chapter 11

The Trial: Part Four

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

While Patrick and the doctor was in the staff sitting room Teresa was waking up more and talking with the staff but still asking for Jane. She was not talking properly still slurring her words but as she is waking up more she has been able to tell them where it hurt and what problems she was having.

She asked one of the nurses where was Dr Santos and was told he was in the staff sitting room with her family something to do with hypnosis she replied. Teresa then new that Patrick was hypnotising someone. After the nurse has got all her readings she then pushed the trolley tray over Teresa's bed so that she could have her breakfast.

Jane looked at Jeanie with shock in his eyes and the disbelief and hurt then anger then shame then back to disbelief and hurt.

"Jeanie what did you say again" as she looked to him with glazed eyes still under the hypnosis.

"Charlotte is alive and has been living at the McAlister's farm all the time" she relied. "It seems to the community that she was adopted but she just appeared after your wife and a child was killed by Red John". "When you see her she has red curly hair but you can see it has been dyed as the blonde comes through often the same colour as yours" she said as she turned back to looking forward. "She has your special gifts of observation but not as sharp as Lulu and you have", "that's what Red John was using to get to you he used her to read you and Teresa". "She was brain washed or hypnotised to believe she was Phoebe McAlister that is her name".

She carries on telling them that Charlotte (aka Phoebe) is training to become a doctor and is at the moment at medical school in Florida, she has an apartment there. She explained that she has been there and that Charlotte was not the same person as she met at the McAlister's, the Charlotte she knew was a shy girl that said nothing just sat and obeyed every demand given to her she was like a slave, where as the one in Florida was jolly and full of beans and knew what she wanted to do.

Jane then decided it was time to bring Jeanie out of the trance as she had been under far too long and soon she would not be able to come out. He then told her that he was bringing her out of the trance and when she wakens she will remember everything and will carry on telling them about Charlotte and the McAlister's. He tapped her twice on the top of her arm to which she started to blink her eyes and then looked at Jane confused then remembering what she had to tell them.

She told them that she thinks Charlotte knows who she is but is afraid to speak out after hearing about Red John's death on the news. When she was there at the apartment Charlotte had told her that she had been talking to an old friend of her real fathers and that person had told her that she needed to keep low and keep it to herself until they were certain that her real father could take the news, but also she needed to keep in touch with her so that she can keep and eye on her. She also said that this lady had got her a bodyguard through her work with the government who stays with her as a flat mate as she is female as well and related to this person that's what I got from her, this friend also is training to be a doctor. She told them that after the death of McAlister and most of the Blake members had either been arrested or killed, his son started to change and become a different and violent man. He also didn't know that Charlotte was Patrick's daughter. Mrs McAlister decided to move back to live with her family for a short while until her son demanded that she came home. Before the death Charlotte had already started at the medical school so was not there when the police went with the warrant to search the premises and surrounding buildings and they did not know of the underground tunnels and rooms under the stable block.

Jane then looked over too where Jen, Lulu and Kim were sitting listening into the conversation and saw what he thought was on his face, shock, a little bit of fear, also joy and concern. Lulu, got up from her chair and walked over to her dad and gave him a big hug and kiss, and told him she had talked to Charlotte in her sleep and Charlotte knew she had a sister. Jane hugged her back and then told her to go back to Jen and Kim. Jane got out his phone and pushed the quick dial which put him through to Cho.

"Cho" he answered.

"Cho its Patrick" "Can you ask Abbott if there is any chance of a warrant being issued to go to the McAlister's place as we have just found out from Jeanie that we missed out on a few tunnels and rooms under the stable block and that is where McAlister did his business with the Blake Association members and I think young McAlister is using them to follow on in his fathers footsteps" he said as he was turning to the doctor as his bleep had gone off and the look that the Santos gave him sent a shiver down his spine. "I have to go now it seems there is a problem with Teresa I will get back to you after I find out" he said before closing his phone and following Santos swiftly out of the room and along the corridor to cubicle 9.

As both Patrick and Santos walked in they could see Teresa having a small fit. It seemed that the headache had gotten worse while they were in the sitting room and she had asked for some painkillers. The staff nurse who was looking after Teresa told Santos that Teresa was doing fine when the last check was done by the new nurse, but shortly after she started to fit and her eyes went back into her head. Santos checked all her vitals and got the nurse to take blood samples and get it checked for any foreign substances as he was doing some checks he noticed that the babies seemed to be under distress as he had their heart beats on the same monitor as Teresa. He ordered a nurse to go and get him the scanner so that he could do a scan to check why they were distressed as they were ok this morning. As she went out and came back with the machine Santos had got Teresa ready so that there was no wait. He smeared some gel onto her abdomen and pushed the scanner over her tummy. There they could see both children moving around erratically and that was not good. The nurse that took the blood test rushed out of the room and raced to the lab's that was just down the corridor at the other end of the hospital. She came back in about 20mins and told the doctor that they were doing this as very urgent and that they would get back to him ASAP. Santos thanked the nurse then went back to Teresa. He noticed that the monitor on his right had stopped bleeping erratically and was now bleeping at a steady rate. This was irrational and very confusing.

The bloods came back to find that Teresa had been given some kind of stimulant that causes erratic breathing and heart pumping. This had caused her blood to be pumped around her body at an alarming pace causing her brain waves to hit and miss just like an epileptic fit. Santos then decided to call for a movable scanning machine to be sent up to the ward. About 20 minutes later a young man and woman walked in pulling a large machine into the room. Santos asked for Jane and Bert, (who had been in early and had just arrived as Jane had left to go and get washed and dressed and see to the girls), to leave which they did. After a short while the woman and man left the cubicle and just before they walked down the aisle the woman turned back to Santos and said that they would get the films back to him as soon as possible. They then pulled the machine behind them down the aisle and out the door at the bottom.

Jane and Burt then turned and went back into the cubicle just as Santos was again scanning the babies to which a big sigh came from him as he checked that they seemed to be ok and their heart rate had settled down to the norm.

Jane then asked Santos what had happened and he looked up dismayed and was honest that he did not know. Jane then asked him to look into the new nurse who had been the last person to be with her, so Santos pushed the call button and the Staff Nurse who was in before came in and asked how she could help.

Jane asked her who the nurse was that came in to give Teresa medication. As far as he remembered the only thing that was now being given to Teresa was pain killers e.g. Advil.

Yes Santos said and looked at the nurse who said that the young lady was called Madeline Walker and she had been working on PIU for a number of months and had been allocated here for a couple of months for training in ICU she is a student. Jane asked her where was she now and the nurse said that she had gone on her break about 20 minutes ago. Just after Teresa started to convulse isn't that a coincidence Jane told her with venom in his voice. The nurse looked saddened but stuck her ground that it was not her that sends them to the wards. Jane then calmed him self down and apologised to the nurse saying at the moment he was under a lot of stress and could do without his wife being attacked at every turn. Jane asked the staff nurse if she would get the new nurses information so that he could get her checked out by one of his colleagues, as she was leaving the cubicle to which she replied she would.

As they were talking Teresa seemed to be coming round and Santos noticed that she seemed to awake more than she was before maybe this had turned out for the better as she seemed more alert. Santos could not understand why this was happening and decided to check on her vitals and found that even her brain waves was nearly showing to normal.

Jane decided to get in contact with Wiley and ask him to look into this nurse Madeline Walker. Just as he was getting his phone out of his vest pocket the staff nurse returned with a blue file and took out a sheet of A4 paper and passed it to Jane, to which he said thank you. He then pressed the button to Wiley.

"Wiley" answered after 3 rings "How can I help you".

"Its Jane Wiley" "I need you to do a check on a Madeline Walker, 24 years old, blue eyes, dark brown hair DOB 29/07/1999 and is registered at the hospital as a student nurse.

"Why" Wiley asks, Jane could hear him munching on something.

"Well just over an hour ago someone had tried to hurt Teresa again and this person was the last one to give her medication" Jane replied with a sigh. "Why does everyone seem to want to hurt my family and friends"?

"Well give me a couple of hours and I will get back too you" Wiley replies then hangs up after Jane thanks him.

As he hangs up and puts his phone in his vest pocket he notices that Teresa has woken up and at first look seems to be a lot better. He goes up to the bed and bends down to give her a hug and kiss and asks her how she is feeling. She tells him that she still has a bad headache and her eyes hurt but not as much as before she had gone to sleep. Jane asks the doctor if the stuff she was given could have reversed some of the problems in her head because to him she does not seem as disorientated as she was this morning and also her speech seems to be better she was not slurring as much and he could understand what she was saying.

The Dr looked at him and told him that he was not sure but it could be that Teresa's immune system has some sort of natural defence against this type of medication. Some people develop natural antibodies that protect the body from everything. Or she may have been given some similar medication before and she has developed the protection then. I will have to do some tests or get the tests done down in the recovery ward on the 3rd floor. But I have to tell you that you will have to get security down there as that is not a closed ward.

That afternoon Teresa was taken down to the ward on the 3rd floor. Abbott and Cho and arranged for two guards to be outside her room and one to sit at a table just inside the main door of the ward. Jane had also paid for a double beds room so that he can stay with her and be a little more comfortable. As this room was a private one there was also in the room a two seated couch and a high back chair and in between them was a small round table just under and near the big window. There was a door that leads to a private en-suite that has a walk in shower and a bath. The walls in the room were in a light pastel green and they were light beige in the wash room.

"This must be the green room" Jane says with a chuckle as they walk into the room and Teresa is moved from the wheelchair onto the bed.

Before she left the ICU the Dr had removed most of the tubing except the one giving her much needed nutrients which was attached to a pole that was attached to the wheelchair. As she was helped out of the wheelchair the bag was removed and placed on a pole by the side of the bed. After Teresa had been settled down and the monitor for her and the babies was re attached to her she was left alone with Jane so that she could have some rest as she found that she was having trouble keeping her eyes open. Jane then decided to leave her to sleep so he gave her a kiss and told her he would be back soon.

As he was walking out the door of the room he acknowledges the two guards at the door. These 2 men were not of the FBI they were to army buddies of Cho who had started a security firm after they had left the army. The man by the wards entrance was Bert who he said good afternoon too

Before Jane and Teresa had gone down to the third floor Patrick had gone to the staff sitting room and told Kim and Lulu and Jeanie that they needed them to leave and go into the FBI HQ for the time being. They all had got their stuff together and Kim had told Jane that she would escort them in her car to which Jane thanked her. After they had left Jane had gone and had a word with Santos before they had left ICU and made their way down.
