Disclaimer: I don't own em. It's as simple as that = (

Well here we go with chapter five... *Drum roll please!*

The Mentalist: Open your eyes.

A week had passed since the incident at the barn and work at the CBI was slowly getting back to normal.

Jane was lying on his couch closing his eyes as he listened to everything that was happening around him. The clicking at the keyboard, the tap of Rigsbys crutches hitting against the floor and the sound of paper flip every few seconds. That was Cho.

They had been lucky that they had caught Austin only a few days after blowing up the barn, so they had very few cases they had to solve.

Trying to make himself comfortable on the couch, he simply couldn't he sat up and wiped his tired face down with his hands and looked about the place.

Little did he know that his team were secretly keeping an eye on him as they worked. He hadn't been very observant the last few days he had just sat there, leaving three times a day to change into the spare clothes he left in his locker, to visit the men's room and to get his daily dose of tea.

Grace stood up and walked over to Rigsbys desk and sat on it, looking down at him.

`What's up babe? ` He asked, chewing on his cereal bar.

`Hey how's your leg? ` She asked, as they both looked down at the big cast he had on for his gunshot wound.

`Oh, Y'know its healing it's still a little tender but it'll pass` he smiled as she nodded in relief.

`You know Jane didn't mean to shoot you, it was an accident right? ` She asked and she heard Jane muffle something and they all looked up at him as he stood and wandered his way out of the bullpen.

`I know, it was the rocks fault` he whispered back and grace looked confused.

`What rock? ` She asked and he raised his eyebrows.

`You didn't know about the rock?!` He exclaimed which got people turning heads.

`What rock? ` She asked, in a hushed tone as she lowered her head a little nearer to his so he had no need to shout.

`The one Jane dropped the gun on` he said like it was common sense to everyone.

She hopped off the desk and crouched down beside him and he looked down.

`What are you down there for? ` He asked, looking around the place and then arching his brows.

`What else do I not know? `

`Well what do you want to know? ` He asked, shrugging his shoulders and tapping her on the head for some odd reason.

She furrowed her eyebrows and walked over as casually she could over to Cho who was still engrossed in his book.

`Hey Cho` she said, pulling the book down flat so he saw her.

`Grace...? ` He asked scrunching up his nose and arching a brow.

` What're you reading? `

`Breaking dawn` he said, putting a dog ear on the top of the page to mark it and lay it down on the desk and looking at her.

`Oh, not Twilight again` she moaned, shaking her head as she looked at the book in disgust.

`It's a good book` he defended and she shrugged her shoulders.

`Everything's Twilight these days what happen to good old fashioned Dracula? `

`He died`

`He's a vampire, he doesn't die` stated Grace as she saw and heard Rigsby coming towards him. Poor guy was getting lonely.

`Beats me`

`Where's Jane? ` Rigsby asked, as he sat down on a swivel chair.

`In the bathroom I presume? ` Grace said, but it came out as more of a question.

`What 15 minutes ago? `

Grace and Cho looked over and back at each other and they landed their eyes on Rigsby.

`When are you going to tell him? ` Asked Rigsby, directing his question at Cho and Cho stroked his chin in thought.

`Tell Jane what? ` Grace looked really confused as she looked at Rigsby.

`Eh...` Rigsby trailed off.

`Tell Jane what? What do I not know? `

`It's about Lisbon...about her death, there's something we didn't tell Jane`

Jane walked into the kitchen and turned on the kettle as he set up his mug and tea bag. He leaned forward on the countertop, pressing his hands hard into the counters edge and silently cursed himself for his stupid actions. Lisbon wouldn't have died and they wouldn't have needed to go back to the barn if he hadn't of scared Austin off on New Year's Eve.

The steam began to arise from the kettle and he slammed the switch down on it, pinching the bridge of his nose.

What if I hadn't of gone on New Year's Eve with the team to the farm? Chances were Lisbon would still be alive if it weren't for my stupid, stupid actions he thought slamming his head against the cabinet the stood directly opposite him head.

He began to poor the scalding water into the mug when he ended up spilling some of it on his hand.

`Oh shit...ouch! ` He said from gritted teeth as he poured the rest of the water into the mug and looked at the scald.

He grabbed the first aid kit which hung on the wall and rummaged through its contents finding the big white bandage and wrapping it around his hand after he spritzed some spray onto it and secured it with a pin.

Adding some milk to his tea, he took 2 Jammy dodgers from the press and walked back out into the bullpen, taking a seat on his couch.

Grace, Cho and Rigsby looked over in his direction while he sat contently with his legs crossed dipping his Jammy Dodgers into the tea. Grace knew nobody who did that. Who wanted a soggy Jammy Dodger?

Grace, Cho and Rigsby walked over to Jane and Rigsby took a seat next to him.

Jane looked up every so innocently as he saw them watching him like hawks.

`Hi`

`Hi Jane` they answered, smiling ever so awkwardly.

`Why are you looking at me like that? ` He questioned, sipping some of his tea.

`Jane, we need to tell you something. Promise not to freak out` asked Rigsby as Jane raised his eyebrows in confusion.

`It depends` he answered cautiously, chewing his Jammy dodger.

`Its about Lisbon` continued Cho, and Jane's unfocused eyes shot up to meet Cho`s.

`I don't want to hear about it` Jane said straight out, holding his hands up as if to say enough was enough and trying to sit forward when Rigsbys muscily arm stopped him and they made eye contact.

`You're gonna want to hear this Jane `

Jane shrugged and sat back in his original position awaiting the news.

`It's Lisbon she's alive` stated Cho and Jane chuckled as he sat up and pushed his way past Rigsbys arm. He stood up and turned grinning at them.

Grace didn't see what was so funny; she hadn't taken the news like this.

`Your a very funny character Cho, it's been a week. She's dead. You're imagining things` he chuckled yet again, waving it off with his hand.

`She's alive Jane, It's a miracle`

`She's dead. Teresa Lisbon is dead. I took her pulse at the scene. She's dead`

Grace looked over at Rigsby and he looked back. She didn't get it neither did he. He wasn't talking all week and yet he started acting like everything was good. So much for the 5 stages of grieving thing...

`That's what you did. You led yourself to believe she was dead` said Cho, putting his hands on his hips.

`Cho stop messing with my head`

`You took her pulse right after you fully regained consciousness, you were shaking like hell Jane` he added and it finally dawned on grace why Cho had nodded to her that morning after stepping away from Lisbon.

`I still would of felt something`

`No anything you would of felt would have been coming from your hand not from Lisbon. The pulse you took wasn't correct`

Jane slowly began to realise what Cho was talking about.

`She's alive? ` He whispered and Cho nodded.

`She's at SGH as of now, in critical condition nurses said they would call if anything changed`

`So she's alone up there, with no friends at her bedside that's talking to her? ` He asked and Grace and Rigsby looked down at the ground.

`No, but-`

`No?! Wouldn't you want someone to be there for you if you woke up in hospital? ` He yelled as he slammed his hands against the wall and suddenly remembered his scald.

`Bloody scald! ` He yelled out as he stepped out of the bullpen and walked to the elevator.

`Man that did not go to plan `mumbled Rigsby and Cho glared at him and grace put her finger to her lips.

This was going to be a very long few weeks...thought grace as she sat next to Rigsby.

Sometimes life really is a bitch.

The Mentalist.
