Hey guys! Sorry about the kinda late-ish chapter 3! I spent last night trying to watch bits of the mentalist episodes and fanfids!
I feel so stupid saying this but really bosco didn't really deserve what he got, yeah he was really just being a barrier between Jisbon but I think the hospital scene showed a softer side to him(Well I know he was dying but still!)and srsly, you cannot say you didn't enjoy a price above rubies (Packed with Jisbon!) that tiara scene was so sweet(If anyone knows where I can get that picture where he's still holding it on her head and they're both looking at the two guys plz let me know thank you! Oh btw I only saw bout 15mins worth of clips all 2gether so I'm still the same waiting 4 it to begin in April over here!
I've talked too much...
Disclaimer: No I do not own the mentalist! God, after that buzz of Jisbon 2day I wish I did! Lol!
Well here comes chapter 3 of...**Drum roll**
The Mentalist: Open Your Eyes.
Jane woke up after an hour and a half sleeping in the barn with Lisbon sleeping against his chest.
Casually rubbing his tired, sleep-deprived eyes, he looked down at Lisbon and observed her breathing pattern, slowly in and out.
Looking intensely at his phone screen, he noticed it was only a little over 6am.
That's when he heard it. The sound of water trickling from somewhere and he darted his eyes around suspiciously until he watched as liquid began to fall from nowhere.
Jane began to let his gaze fall away from the liquid and fall on the masked man standing at the second level front window holding a rather large gas can and throwing gallons of it onto the hay flooring, splashes hitting out at Jane.
`Die in hell Jane, agent Lisbon` he snarled, grabbing a lighter from his pocket and setting a scrunched up piece of newspaper alight and casually watching as it fell to its depth.
Jane watched it fall in slow motion, watching as the paper hit the gasoline cover hay, which he knew would go alight anyway.
`Lisbon! Lisbon! Wake up! `
Lisbon snuggled further into his chest when Jane had no choice but to shake her awake.
`What the hell are you at? ` She shouted until she looked up and noticed it was him. `-Jane? `
`Austin just set fire to the barn`
`Well thanks for not waking me up and rescuing me` she smiled but his smile came uneasy. `Eh...-` he began scratching the back of his head and wincing. `Were still inside the barn`
`Well why didn't you wake me up so we could get out? ` She exclaimed.
`Uh...that was the plan I had for now` he said, coughing onto his clenched fist and grabbing her arm and pulling her to her feet.
Lisbon began to stare at the flames that began to shoot higher than her and Jane waved his hand in front of her face.
`There's always time to look at the flames later, preferably when were outside and watching the barn collapse. Ok? `
Lisbon rolled her eyes when Jane jumped over onto the wooden ladder and held his hand out to her. She just stared at his fingers and looked up at his face that began to glow from the flames in the morning darkness.
`Lisbon, please take hold of my hand' pleaded Jane, stretching his hand out towards her.
`You might drop me' she said, watching as he flexed his fingers and stretched further towards her.
`Lisbon, I promise I won't drop you` she grabbed onto his hand and climbed onto his back as he made his way up the ladder and onto the landing/walkway.
She rolled off his back and onto the ground, wiping her hand down her face when Jane crouched down beside her.
`Hey, are you ok? ` He asked calmly, as he heard something creak from beneath them and Lisbon shot her eyes up nervously at his.
`Tired, is this thing going to give way? `
`Yep`
`Goddammit Austin! ` She exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air and slamming them back onto the ground that began to shudder and creak underneath them.
She looked up at Jane who nodded and stood up, helping her up, grabbing her hand, he ran to the end corner of the walk away keeping Lisbon beside him at all times.
He then backed her into a small corner and looked down at her.
`Lisbon, you got to listen to me`
`I'm listening`
`This walkway is going to give way in a few seconds or so but I need you to know you can't be scared`
`I-I'm not scared` she said, doing her best to keep the nerves from her voice and the scared look off her face.
`I know you're scared, I mean so am I but were in a barn that could blow up at any second and its best to know that we attempted to get out` he spoke calmly, laying his hands on her shoulders.
`You're not helping matters Jane` she mumbled and he smiled and took her hand which surprised her to say the least but she went with it anyway.
They ran from that corner to the window on the next walkway, both turned and felt their turn when they watched the ladder and the 1st walkway snap and collapse into the flames that began to engulf it.
`I feel sick` mumbled Lisbon and Jane winced, she arched a brow and looked at him.
`Well keep your distance then`
`Hey hold your horses woman, I'm saving your life here`
`I could've saved my own life without the help of you` she said, strutting in front of him and smashed the window with her shoe.
`Oh Lisbon dear, I would love to see you try, but fortunately this isn't the type of situation that I can leave you unattended` he explained beginning to use his hands to do the talking.
`Jane, Im a big girl. I can look after myself. I'm not a child anymore`
`Ya, I can see that`
Lisbon rolled her eyes and looked out the window; Jane then climbed out the window and struggled his way onto the roof.
All Lisbon could see were two hands dangling down and a thing that looked like a wave.
`Eh Lisbon, I want you to grab my hands please`
`Are you mad?!` She exclaimed, looking down at the height she was from the ground.
`I like to think that I'm not and don't you be looking down from that window' he scolded and Lisbon became confused.
`You can't even see my face! `
`My job is to ob-` He was immediately cut off by Lisbon.
`Don't you start going on about "My job is to observe things Teresa" because you can't see me! ` She said, putting on Jane's voice.
`Hey my voice doesn't sound a bit like that`
`Obviously it doesn't because I'm not you! `
`Lisbon, just take my hands would you? ` He began to grow impatient as she still didn't take his hands.
`How the hell can I trust you to not drop me? `
`If you fall, I fall it's as simple as that, you have some serious trust issues Lisbon` he sighed, inhaling a deep breath as he began to try and make himself comfortable on his tummy.
`I have a right to! `
`Lisbon. It's your choice, you can sit on that ledge and wait for the flames to kill you or you can let me help you up. Please just grab onto my hand` he continued to plead, while Lisbon looked behind her and could smell and feel the smoke coming toward her until she began to cough.
She looked at his hand and clamped her hand around his and he returned the tightening grasp.
`Keep holding on Lisbon, don't look down' he encouraged, as he began to pull her up and she wrapped both hands around his to make sure he did actually have a good hold on her.
Somehow, he managed to get Lisbon up onto the level part of the barn roof and kept near to the wind vane so they could be easily seen.
"Get up; get out get away from these liars because they don't get your soul or your fire"
`Thank you` she whispered and he nodded.
`No problem. Anything for my pal` he grinned as they both looked down at the view of the long drive up and the cows grazing in the fields full of hay bales.
Lisbon patted down her jeans in search for her cell and took it out. Sliding it up she pressed speed dial two and let it ring out until the person on the other end picked up.
`Hi grace. Could you call the fire services please? ` Lisbon asked while grace mumbled something on the other end.
Jane grabbed the Sony from Lisbon's hand and put it on loudspeaker and also keeping it a good distance from Lisbon.
`Grace we need a fire engine out at bluebell farm, were sitting on a barn that's gonna blow. Thanks`
Grace gasped. `Wayne. Call the fire services to get out to bluebell farm ASAP. Um Patrick...were leaving the headquarters now we`ll be there in five minutes`
`Ok Grace, safe drive`
Whatever grace said came as a muffle and she hung up.
Jane grinned and Lisbon looked him up and down.
`You are such a pain in the ass`
`Well it didn't seem like that down in the barn when you kissed me` he said, waggling his eyebrows and she avoided him.
`Ya...sorry about that` she said, looking down at her shoes.
`Hey. No need to be. It's great! `He chuckled, wrapping an arm around her.
`You really did listen to what bosco said` she whispered while the leaves began to swirl around them.
`He told me to look after you, I tried my best` he nodded, smiling over at her and she smiled sadly.
`He didn't deserve what he got` whispered Lisbon, watching the bright light of cars came from a distance towards the farm. Jane stood and held out his hand to Lisbon. Smiling she nodded and took it and they stood on top of the barn. Hand in hand.
"Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine and we`ll walk from this dark room for the last time"
`The ivy and gutters have been ripped off the side of the building Lisbon`
She became confused, looking up at him as he held on tighter to her hand.
`And...We don't have to...no you have got be kidding`
`Jumping is our only option Lisbon`
`We`ll die Jane` she croaked, looking at him with teary eyes.
`I know' he said sadly, hugging her and kissing the top of her head, not wanting his lips to move from where they were.
`I don't want you to die` she sobbed, clenching the material of his shirt in her clenched fists.
`Shall we jump? ` He questioned and she nodded in misery, tears passing down her blackened cheeks from the smoke and Jane let some tears make some tracks on his blackened face too.
He held her hand tightly and she did so too and they both looked at each other.
`Jane, before we kill ourselves I need to tell you something`
`By all means, fire ahead` he smiled, doing his best to lighten up the mood.
`I-I knew I would have to say this sometime, but I didn't think I would have to say it so quick and on these terms. But Patrick, although I never show it or say it doesn't mean I don't mean it.
You are one pain in the ass but man do you make my heart beat 1,000 beats when you smile at me.
I can't believe I'm actually going to say this but Patrick Jane, I love you to bits and I didn't want us to end this way`
`Teresa, I love you too, but don't be ashamed` he said nodding, gripping onto her hand and kissing her white knuckles.
Lisbon took a deep breath and smiled at him.
`See you up in the clouds Patrick`
He smiled and nodded in agreement. `See you then Teresa, have a good journey`
She lightly chuckled as they saw Graces SUV come up the drive and tear up on the sandy gravel. No doubt Cho was driving.
The both of them looked at each other and smiled as they ran for the edge and leaped, for the 20 foot drop beneath them.
"Every minute from this minute now, we can do what we like anywhere"
The Mentalist: Open your eyes.
This was way longer typed out than it was written out...
But I still loved this chapter! I love the line in the actual song itself: "Take my hand knot your fingers through mine and we`ll walk from this dark room for the last time" I think there`s something sweet about it...
Well enough from me! Let me know whatcha thought! I appreciate it!!!=P
Cheers,
