"You are quiet. What are you thinking?" Lisbon asked Jane as they left the elevator and walked to the bullpen.
"About the case. It troubles me the position of the woman. Why did he put her in front of her computer? And I guess the forensic will come clean from sexual insult." Jane respond lightly.
"Maybe. What's your point?" Lisbon asked curious.
"Whoever did it, enjoyed it. He let her in front of the computer and went to his house and continued to watch her. The computer was still on when we arrived. I bet he was watching her until the police came."
"That's Creepy. Why would he do it? " Lisbon asked confused.
"I don't know. But I think we will have another victim soon." Jane replied serious.
"Or maybe not. The killer may be someone from her close environment. This moment we don't have anything to prove it otherwise. We must look at our victim and her life." Lisbon said calm.
"And what are we doing now?"
"We wait the results of her autopsy and fingerprints and DNA from the crime scene. I asked Van Pen to check her computer and Cho and you will have a second interview with the sister." Lisbon respond and opened the door of her office and sat behind her desk.
"Okay. Do I have a space to work?" Jane asked smiling and sat at the chair ahead of the desk.
"You can use the desk on the corner of the bullpen." Lisbon exhaled and Jane turned his head to look.
"Meh, too cold. I prefer to stay here with you." Jane respond calm and grabbed a picture frame from the desk and examined it. "Is she your daughter?" He asked gentle.
"Yes. Her name is Charlotte." Lisbon replied and smiled at the picture.
"She is beautiful. She takes after you. The only difference is her blond hair. How old is she?"
"Almost six."
"And her father? What did it happen to him?" Jane asked curious.
"He died when Charlotte was baby. Car crush. He lost the control of his car and hit a tree. " Lisbon respond sad.
"I'm sorry. It must be painful. "
"It was. Thanks." Lisbon said calm looking at him.
"And I'm sorry about going behind your back. I just needed a way to come closer to you." Jane said softly.
"But why? I'm sure being rich and famous like you, you will have a lots of women." Lisbon stated making Jane chuckled.
"I may have. It doesn't mean I date them." Jane respond and Lisbon raised an eyebrow to him.
"So, I was right. You take advantage of them and then you dump them once you slept with them." Lisbon remarked and Jane let a sarcastic laugh.
"I'm not so bad Lisbon. I never promise anything before I sleep with them. Is it bad to want to have some fun?" Jane questioned her.
"I guess not. But why do you want to date me?"
"Why not?"
"I am workaholic, a mother and I don't have your life style." Lisbon stated
"That's not a reason to not be attractive from you. Why don't you give me a chance?"
"I don't want to be hurt again." Lisbon said upset. "If you are so interested in me, you can try be my friend first. You never know what will happen. "
"I will like it." Jane respond smiling and stood up. "Now, If you excuse me, I have an interrogation to do."
Jane with Cho sat in the interrogation room with the sister of the victim and began to make questions.
"You said your sister asked you to drive her to work." Cho spoke first.
"That's right."
"Why didn't she call a taxi? Why did she ask you to drive her to her job?" Cho continued.
"I don't know. I find it weird too." she respond calm
"And why did she give you keys of her apartment?" Jane asked
"She was scared of living alone. Our parents are dead and she wanted me to have a extra key if she needed something." She respond and continued when Jane gave her a nod. "I told her to come and stay with me but she refused. She wanted to be independent".
"Do you know her ex-husband?" Cho asked her again.
"Yes. He works as an engineer."
"How was their relationship after the divorce?" Jane questioned her.
"They had problems." she respond lightly.
"Thanks for your time. We will keep contact with you if we need something." Cho said gentle.
The team was in the bullpen and Lisbon was standing in front of them and began to talk:
"I have the results of the autopsy. Our victim died from suffocation. The killer is strong enough to hold her mouth and nose close with one hand. "
"Are they any trace of self defense?" Rigsby asked.
"No, our victim was drugged. She must have taken it with her wine. The drug is common as the rape drug."
"Did she have any trace of sexual activity?" Cho asked
"No." Lisbon replied and Jane coughed with a smile. "In her back she had a wound too. The killer in his hurry to dress her hurt our victim with the zipper of her dress. "
"He dressed her? That's weird." Van Pelt interrupted her.
"That's not the most strange. Come on. You left the best for the end" Jane smirked at Lisbon.
"In her mouth, we found 4 buttons of a keyboard. " Lisbon said and saw them the picture of the evidence.
"It makes the word LOVE." Jane said composed.
"Exactly. "
"So, the killer drugged her. He didn't rape her and he dressed her himself." Cho said.
"He drugged her to make her his puppet. That's why her position in front of her computer was so tidy. He wasn't in hurry. And he left behind a signature. We have a serial killer here." Jane respond amused.
"The forensics didn't find any fingerprints in the apartment but they found on the door. They match with the ex-husband of our victim. He has sentenced before for assault to his wife. Our victim took restraint meters against him six months ago." Lisbon said again.
"Then why did we find his finger prints in the door?" Rigsby asked.
"We need a talk with him. Cho and Rigsby, go find him and bring him here. Van Pelt , continue to work with her computer." Lisbon ordered and they left immediately.
"You." Lisbon said serious to Jane " stay out of problems until I call you." she ordered him and went back to her office.
One hour later, Jane opened her office door and entered with a grin.
"I brought lunch. " Jane said and saw her the bag. He didn't wait for a answer and he opened it and offered her a box. "It's Chinese. I hope you like it."
Lisbon smiled at him and took grateful the lunch breathing deep from the beautiful smell.
"So, what are you going to do with your clients?" Lisbon asked softly and took a bite.
"I won't abandon them. I will have some meetings but after work or in my free days. I have it under control" Jane respond casual.
"Good. I don't want you to leave your old life for nothing. How did you find your first day with us?"
"It was different than I thought. I like it. " Jane respond and Lisbon looked at him strange. "I didn't like to see a young woman dead but it fascinates me all the hunt to catch the killer. I find it like a puzzle which I have to solve." Jane explained softly.
"That's a nice way to describe it." Lisbon respond with a small smile. "I was a little afraid about you. That would have been too overwhelming. It isn't easy. "
"No. Why did you choose to do it? I mean most woman become lawyers. Not cops." Jane asked curious.
"I like the action. And I wanted to catch killers, to make sure they won't hurt again." Lisbon explained.
"It's because of your mother right? I don't want to upset you. I'm just conserned."
"How do you know about my mother?" Lisbon asked serious. "Did you search from me?"
"No. I can see it. It's obvious from your body language. Your cross was given by your mother a few days before she died. You touched it unconsciously while you think something." Jane explained calm with a sweet tone.
"Jane, I want you to stop reading me and I also don't like to talk about my past. It's useless and unprofessional. " Lisbon said serious.
"Okay. Noted." Jane respond when he saw the hurt in her eyes at the mention of her mother. "I didn't want to upset you."
"Thank you." Lisbon replied lightly and they continued their lunch changing the topic.
Some hours later Jane and Lisbon watched behind the glass Cho to interrogate the ex-husband Neal Beckett.
"When did you see last time your ex-wife?" Cho asked cold.
"I haven't seen her for months. "
"Why did she have take restrained meters from you?"
"We had a bad divorce. She didn't want me near her." he respond calm.
"Mrs. Tyson had treatment at the past with fractures at her back and hands. She said to the police you hurt her." Cho said and saw him a copy of her statement.
"It was one time. I lost control..."
"Amelia Tyson was found dead in her apartment. " Cho said and Neal Beckett stayed quiet.
"Why did you bring me here? What do you want from me?"
" Where were you last night around midnight?"
"Home. I sleep early."
"Have you ever gone to her apartment?" Cho asked and stood up walking around the room .
"No." he respond fast.
"Then, how do you explain your fingerprints there?" Cho hissed and Mr. Beckett stayed silent.
"Fine. I will give you some time to think about it." Cho said and left and went at the other side of the glass to Lisbon and Jane.
"Tell me Jane. Why do you think we have a serial killer?" Lisbon asked him serious.
"The scene of the crime was very staged. And the fact that seems the killer to enjoy it very much. He putted in her mouth buttons which made the word LOVE. It is symbolic, not random. "
"It can be a passion crime." Lisbon suggested.
"The lack of love and loneliness troubles her husband a lot." Cho respond and Lisbon gave him a gesture to go back.
Cho went in again and sat on the table beside Mr. Beckett.
"I didn't want divorce. I loved her." Mr. Beckett began. "I made mistakes but she was my life."
"You were there yesterday". Cho stated.
"She never answered the phone. I went to see her but she kicked me out and I left."
"We found your fingerprints inside the apartment too. How do you explain it?" Cho lied to him.
"Her sister let me in a week ago. I wanted to see where she lives. She hide it from Amelia. I begged her. " Mr. Beckett said and Cho left the interrogation room.
"What do you want us to do boss?" Cho asked Lisbon.
"Let him free from now. It's late. We will continue tomorrow." Lisbon respond and Cho left with a nod.
"Any plan for tonight?" Jane asked Lisbon smiling.
"Home with my daughter. You? "
"I don't know yet. I have some work with my clients.". Jane respond smiling.
"Then, I don't want to keep you. Good night Jane." Lisbon replied polite and turned to leave.
"Good night. Dream me." Jane shout after her and he knew she was rolling her eyes.
