Lisbon gathered all the team and Jane for an update about the case around the large table in the bullpen.
"Our victim Amelia Tyson was member of a site named Date Online. She made her profile three weeks ago using the name Divorsed_alone." Van Pelt began and clicked on the television to show them the site.
"Date online?" Cho asked.
"Yes. It's a date site. You made a profile and then through a video camera you can communicate with other users. " Van Pelt explained.
"Amelia talked with the killer the night he died." Rigsby remarked.
"Can we find the profile with the name love_me?" Jane asked.
"That profile is not used anymore. " Van Pelt replied.
"Do you think there is a possibility our victim to give him her personal information? Like her address." Lisbon asked serious.
"Yes, it is possible." Van Pelt replied softly.
"Can we find his location?" Lisbon asked again.
"Every time you make connection with a site your computer let behind a protocol number. An IP number to the server. We can find it from the time he chatted with our victim but we need access to the server of the company." Van Pelt respond serious.
"When a member removed his account, can he create a new one?" Jane questioned Van Pelt.
"Of course. And with that way you can talk to the members of the site using another name profile." Van Pelt said plain.
"We also find fingerprints on the jacket we took from the sister." Rigsby told them and continued "They belong to someone named Maria Grayson. "
"To a woman?" Jane asked confused.
"Mrs. Grayson was in jail in 1997 for grand theft auto. " Rigsby respond serious.
"Perfect. Jane and I will go to talk to her. Cho and Van Pelt, try to get a warrant to see the data and the IP from the company. Rigsby, continue look at the past of the ex-husband and Mrs. Grayson. I want to know everything." Lisbon ordered and the team left telling 'Oh right Boss'.
Jane and Lisbon left the CBI and drove to the house where Mrs. Grayson lived. Lisbon knocked on the door and a blond woman in her forties answered and Lisbon showed to her the badge.
"Hello. I'm agent Teresa Lisbon and he is Patrick Jane. Can we come in and asked you some questions?" Lisbon asked polite.
"Of course. Please come in." she replied and they entered and went to the living room. Mrs. Grayson closed the door and went to them a little nervous.
"What is it about?" she asked gentle after she offered Jane a cup of tea and she sat down with Lisbon on the couch.
"Do you know that woman?" Lisbon asked calm and showed her a picture of Amelia.
"No. I haven't seen her before."
"Do you work somewhere?" Jane asked taking a sip.
"No, I don't" she respond composed.
"Why? You don't have any kids to take care." Jane remarked.
"After the prison, it was difficult for me to find a job. I got married two years ago and since then I lived here with my husband. My husband doesn't know about my time in jail."
"Is he here now?" Lisbon asked.
"No, he will come back soon from work."
"You don't have a problem to wait for him, right?" Lisbon asked softly.
"I don't know what to tell you. If you find it necessary. " She respond nervous.
"Can I use the bathroom?" Jane interrupted.
"It's upstairs. First door on your left." she respond and Jane let down his cup and went upstairs.
"Do you have computer in your house?" Lisbon questioned her
"My husband has one. I don't use it."
"Do you have access in the internet?"
"Yes. He uses it only. I don't know to use a computer. But one moment. I don't understand. What are you looking exactly?" Mrs. Grayson asked and that moment the door opened and her husband came in.
Meanwhile:
Jane went upstairs and found a computer on the desk. He opened it and began to search the history and the files. He found the same site that Amelia used and conversations between them. He started to read them and when he heard the door he closed the computer and went downstairs.
"John, they are from the police. They came for..." Mrs. Grayson began and Lisbon interrupted her.
"Hello." Lisbon said.
"What is it going on?" he asked.
"It's about a murder. "Lisbon explained. "this woman was found dead in her apartment." Lisbon continued and showed him the picture. "Do you know her?"
"No." he respond shaking his head.
"She was fan of the internet. And like your wife told us, you are too." Lisbon said without believed him. "Do you have a web camera?"
"Yes, but I don't use it." he respond anxious.
"Do you mind to have a look at your computer?" Lisbon asked gentle.
"Don't you need a warrant to do it?" he respond a little aggressive.
"Do you know the site Date Online?" Jane asked calm entering the room. "Have you ever visited it?"
"I don't use very much the internet. I use the computer for my work." he replied nervous.
"Yeah, but your computer shows different. Mr. Sexy 38." Jane replied smiling standing beside Lisbon.
"You need to come with us Mr. Grayson." Lisbon said and she took out the handcuffs.
Back to CBI:
Jane and Lisbon were in the interrogation room with John Grayson. Lisbon and Jan were sitting on the other side on the table and they began the questions.
"Okay. I made chat with Amelia. I chat with so many people on that site. " Mr. Grayson said.
"Did you ask her to meet?" Lisbon asked calm and serious.
"No." he denied shaking his head.
"Then, how did we find your jacket in her hands?" Lisbon remarked and continued. "This is her phone." she said and saw him an evidence bag with a phone inside." We found your number with your name inside."
"We talked. We exchanged phones number and we met one time. But that was on Saturday. Not Sunday. " he respond frighten.
"Did you go to her apartment?" Jane asked trying to reading his mind.
"No. No. We only went a walk with the car. She wanted to talk only. "
"But you wanted more." Jane scoffed. "There is no reason to deny it." Jane continued and Lisbon looked at him for a moment.
"Yes, but she didn't. I left when she rejected me. I thought she wanted it too. I was wrong." he respond with a trouble expression.
"That's your story. You will stay in custody today Mr. Grayson. You may want to call a lawyer." Lisbon said serious and stood up and left the room.
Jane made a coffee and a tea and went inside Lisbon's office. He offered her the cup of coffee and she took it grateful with a smile. He sat opposite and talked.
"How are you?" Jane asked with concerned.
"Fine." she respond casually. "What's your thoughts on the case?" she asked changing the topic.
"I still believe in my first theory. I don't think he did it." he respond taking a sip.
"I don't know. I like him for a suspect. He lied to us in first and he sleep around. And he has a motive and no alibi. " Lisbon replied thinking.
"Yeah maybe." Jane said raising his shoulders. "But I don't believe he is our killer."
"What makes you believe it?" Lisbon asked curious.
"His body language. If he had killed her, he would have looked so surprised when he saw us in his place." Jane respond lightly.
"He may didn't kill her but unfortunately he is our primary suspect now. I have to go where the evidences show me."
"Is that why you don't believe in my theory?" Jane asked curious.
"It's not that I don't believe you Jane. But my job is to look for evidence and not to be based on instincts." Lisbon said serious.
"And what do your instincts tell you about me? Do you trust me?" Jane asked softly.
"Time will show it Jane. It's too early to judge."
"Meh, you know you can trust me. You just don't want to admit it. " Jane respond smiling and Lisbon let a sigh and began her paperwork.
Later that night:
"Come on, start!" Lisbon screamed turning her car's key in the hole . "Start, stupid car!" Lisbon shout and hit the wheel angry.
"Hey, what's going on?" Jane appeared on her window with a worried expression.
"My car broke. It doesn't turn on the engine." Lisbon sighed and got out of her car hitting the door hard.
"There is no problem. I will drive you home. Come on." Jane said casual with a smile.
"No. It's ok. I will call a taxi. It's late and I don't want to bother you." Lisbon respond gentle.
"It would be my pleasure." Jane said smiling and moved his hand on her waist pushing her into his car.
"Thank you. I hope I don't keep you from something." Lisbon spoke again when Jane began to drive.
"Don't worry. I don't have anything to do tonight." he replied plain. "What will you do tonight?"
"Like every night I will spend it with my daughter. I miss her all day."
"I would like to meet her. If she is like her mom, I know I will like her right away." Jane told her with a smile.
"Yeah right." Lisbon scoffed. "Do you mind to open the radio?"
"Not at all. Choose everything you like." Jane respond and Lisbon found a Jazz station.
"Not bad. I like Jazz too." Jane said softly.
"How do you find yourself working with us?" Lisbon asked curious.
"I actually enjoy it." Jane said honesty. "I like the team and you are good at your job. To be sincere, I thought it would have been different."
"You have worked with police before. How is different with us?" Lisbon asked confused.
"You are a good person. A good team leader. You don't treat me with arrogance or sarcasm like the others cops. You and your team seem me as equal. And I like it." Jane respond turning to look at her eyes and Lisbon could see he was honest.
"I'm happy. I know I was hard with you in first. I'm sorry about it. I don't want to create problems in our partnership. I hope the guys to be good with you too." Lisbon said serious.
"Van Pelt likes me from the beginning. With Rigsby and Cho, I had a talk. I hope I broke the ice."
"They didn't like you?" Lisbon asked disbelief.
"They worry about you. They gave me a warning not to hurt you." Jane respond serious.
"Oh my god. Serious?" Lisbon asked frowning. "Sorry about them. They crossed the line."
"It's fine. I'm happy you have people in your life to take care of you. " Jane respond giving her a smile and Lisbon repaid it with one before she relaxed back in the passenger seat.
