All Children Except One, Grow Up
Peter Pan
Watching Jane, it wasn't hard to picture him as a rather overgrown Peter Pan. Perhaps his way of over-compensating for his miserable childhood...
Change? Nah...even at 80 Jane would still be the infuriating, pain-in-the-you know where boy he was. Angela Ruskin was quite a woman, to be able to reel him in. She had never really thought about Angela before. A subject too painful for Jane; she had always avoided bringing it up.
Now presumably the Ghosts were gone, laid to rest yada yada but she was unconvinced. For Jane, Angela was his epic love. Which woman wanted to play 2nd fiddle, if she could that is. Jane was the guy all moms warned their daughters about; nice to see, nice to play but don't expect him to stick around.
She schooled her features; damn Jane why did he have to come back. One had to give him points for perseverance though...here it comes.. the pout..it was really too cute the way he sulked like a naughty schoolboy. She wanted to tell him to GO bug Agent Kim...but...
Whoa, whoa teresa...detachment, distance, indifference, detachment, distance...she reminded herself. 1 Job that was it then back to reality. She knew she had 'irked' him; Jane deserved a few home-truths and it was on the dot. Well, she would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he pulled a JANE on the almighty FBI and it wouldn't be long now.
She cringed as her mind conjured up the scrapes Jane might get into. She knew she didn't have to worry about him; he was a survivor. Drop him in the middle of the ocean and he'll still find his way back blindfolded.
IT HAPPENED! Hell Houdini couldn't have done it better. JANE escaped like she knew he would but only problem was; she was stuck with the soooooo nice folks at FBI HQ. They STILL wont let her go. Abbot glowering, Fischer has steam coming out of her ears and Cho? Cho was Cho. Of course Wiley the resident geek seemed to think it was a stunt out of a Hollywood blockbuster. Oh yeah you know the one...
Served them right; pretentious so and so's. FBI...in an uproar...funny if it wasn't so tragic for her. She dragged her feet shuffling along the sidewalk, lunch was over time to go back to her office. Oh wait! she didnt have an office let alone a humble desk and chair. Life was the pits...Teresa Lisbon senior law enforcement officer; recipient of numerous commendations reduced to a gangster's moll. Damn that menace.
