Lisbon arrived late at night at her home. She played with Charlotte and watched television together and then she went to her bed. Lisbon stayed awake thinking about tomorrow. She putted a glass of wine and sat on the couch with a sigh.
"Someone can't sleep tonight it seems." Angela spoke as she entered the house. "What's going on?" she continued and sat beside Lisbon.
"It's about work. Tomorrow I have to stand in front of a camera with my coworkers to watch and flirt with strangers." Lisbon exhaled heavily.
"Okay. I don't know what it means." Angela replied frown.
"It's about a case. Our killer finds his victims through a date site. His victims are same with me. Similar age, brunettes, alone woman and small. " Lisbon explained softly and took a big sip of her wine.
"And you will try to find him. To talk with him. Identify him " Angela said serious.
"Yeah. I try to find someone from the undercover unit to replace me but I failed. There is no one available this moment." Lisbon said casual.
"And you have to do it now. Actually I don't think it's a bad idea." Angela responded serious.
"What?" Lisbon asked puzzled.
"Well, first, it will help you to find your killer and second it will be good for you. You will get out of your comfort zone. " Angela replied calm.
"I can't believe I take date advices from my sister in law." Lisbon mocked her.
"Someone must talk to you about it." she responded casual. "You need to get out there someday. And in my opinion you need someone to remind that you are not only a mother and a cop. You are more than it." Angela said and stood up to leave.
"Angela? I don't know how late I will finish tomorrow. Do you mind take Charlotte with you ?" Lisbon asked her before she left the room.
"Not at all. I will take her with me at the group study. I will call you to inform you." Angela replied with a small smile. "Good night Teresa." she continued and went upstairs.
Lisbon stayed there drinking one more glass of wine. When she felt more relaxed, she went back to her bed and slept immediately.
The next day Lisbon didn't make her usual preparation to go to work. She wore a nice white dress, she applied some makeup and wore earrings. If she wanted to lure the killer, she had to look like a ordinary woman and not scream cop from miles.
Lisbon arrived at work and she felt awkward and she already was the center of the attention. She could heard the whispers around her and some guys winked and whistled to her. As the door of the elevator closed on her floor, she let a sigh and went to the bullpen. Her heart pounded fast from the nervous and she greeted everyone with her usual professional voice.
"Good morning boss." Van Pelt said and stayed speechless for a while. "You look good." the agent continued with a smile.
Cho and Rigsby couldn't stop looking at her, admiring her, trying not to bring her in a difficult position.
Jane who was sitting on the couch at the edge of the room with a cup of tea in his hands, stood up from the couch abandoned his tea on the table and approached her slowly appreciating the view. His eyes ran from head to toe and Lisbon thought that she saw his eyes darkened.
"I thought I should wear something nice and not my usual work clothes." Lisbon said trying to stay steady.
"I don't think anyone will resist you." Jane said softly getting closer to Lisbon.
Everyone in the room sensed the change in the air and Lisbon dragged her gaze from Jane and spoke again to the team.
"I will make a coffee. Tell me when we will be ready to begin." she said and walked away feeling Jane's eyes on her back.
Jane grinned to himself and head to the kitchen where Lisbon was. She was just finished her coffee when Jane went beside her his , supporting himself to the counter grinning to her.
"You look really good. You should wear dresses more often." he said looking at her eyes.
"Uh, thank you." Lisbon responded blushing. "It seemed more fitting for the undercover."
"Of course. Are you nervous?" Jane asked as they made their way to her office.
"A little yes." Lisbon replied uneasily.
"Don't worry. I'll have your back."
"Thanks." Lisbon said laughing at him.
A little later the door opened and Van Pelt told them they were ready to begin. Jane and Lisbon followed her into one of the meetings room. Cho and Rigsby had made a great job decorated the place and the background didn't look at nothing like work. There was a bookcase filled with books, CDS and they placed pictures on the wall. It seemed like home.
Lisbon took her place in front of the pc and Jane with Van Pelt were from the other side of the camera working on the computer. Cho and Rigsby let the room and continued their search with the hope to find something to help.
"Okay. Let's begin. What name did you choose for me?" Lisbon asked softly getting comfortable in the chair.
"Broken heart. " Van Pelt answered. "Whoa ,the broken heart has ten calls. "
"Our killer will have a romantic username. So, the sex_machine35 is out." Jane said amused.
"Okay. And here is your first. Good luck boss." Van Pelt said and accepted the first call.
"Hey, I'm the lonely_soul. How are you?" A man said when he appeared in the screen.
"Good. And you?"
"Fine. I'm Carl Bloom."
"Teresa Watts."
"Teresa? You have a lovely name. I'm happy to meet you."
"Me too. " Lisbon said and Jane made a nod to cut him. "Thank you for your time but I have to close you." Lisbon continued and Van Pelt finished the call.
"Everybody will be like him?" Lisbon asked upset.
"He was our first. Have patient. Next. is up." Jane responded and accepted a new call.
"Hey." Lisbon said to the new man.
"Hi. I'm thirty years old and I occupy with classic music. You?"
"I'm not thirty years old and I don't like classic music. But it's not important. If you want, we can discuss it."
"I like the smart women." he said and Jane let a laugh nodding to close him.
"I change my mind. I like only Jazz. Bye." Lisbon said abruptly and closed him.
"It's a waste of time." Lisbon said irritated.
"I'm so happy I'm not doing it." Van Pelt said laughing and accepted the new call.
"Hey. I'm Matt Clark. "
"Teresa Watts."
"I live with my mother. I don't want to leave her alone. Do you want to meet her?" he asked immediately making both Jane and Van Pelt burst into laughs.
"Thank you for the offer but it's too early to meet your mother. Really too early." Lisbon responded and closed him with a moan.
"I cry for the humanity. And I have a daughter." Lisbon scoffed. "Give me the next."
"Hey. I'm Teresa Watts."
"Eddie Landon. I work as an engineering. You?"
"I am a nurse."
"What do you like?" he asked flirtatious.
"What do you mean?" Lisbon asked him back.
"In sex. What are you embarrassing?"
"Not exactly but don't you think..?" Lisbon responded and he interrupted her.
"Can I see you naked at the camera?"
"No. No, you can't. Bye." Lisbon said and turned off the call.
A few hours later:
everybody were tired and Lisbon stretched her arms. She took a sip from her fifth coffee that day and they were ready to give up when Lisbon accepted a new call.
"Hi." she said softly.
"Hi. I see that you are in for a long time. I read your profile over ten times."
"You learn it out."
"Jerome."
"Teresa Watts."
"Are you always introduce yourself with your last name?" he replied and pulled Jane's attention.
"Yes, because I think it's more right."
"Jerome Parande. "
"Nice to meet you."
"You write on your profile that you are divorce. What are you looking now?"
"A new acquaintance." Lisbon responded calm and Lisbon saw Jane to whispered something on Van Pelt.
"Do you not looking for love?"
"Love? I don't think I can love again. You?"
"I look. I want someone to love and love me back. I know it sounds difficult."
"And you think you can find it from here?" Lisbon asked curious.
"Maybe. But I find you special." he replied smiling and accidentally his glass of water dropped to the floor. "I'm sorry. wait a minute I have to clean it out." He continued and stoop sown from his desk. When he left from the camera they saw a painting on the background and they identified it from the first victim.
"Jerome, are you ok?" Lisbon asked serious.
"Do you do anything with your computer?" he said when he was back on camera.
"Me? No. It's maybe from the water." Lisbon said trying to keep him online gaining time for Van Pelt to trace him but he closed her immediately and Lisbon threw the headphones on the desk.
"I lost him. Do you have him?" Lisbon asked with agony.
"Wait a second." Van Pelt said and after a while she said smiling. "I got him."
Jane and Lisbon let out a breath and Lisbon approached them. Van Pelt worked for a while and after two minutes she saw them his file.
"Robert Greer. Director. Suicide, arson, drugs and many more." Van pelt said reading.
"I remember him. I read about him in the newspaper. His actress made complaint against his." Jane said serious.
"Do you have an address? " Lisbon asked.
"Yes." Van pelt responded
"Gear up. We need to move fast." Lisbon ordered and they left right away to his house.
When they arrived they had to break the door to enter and they found it empty. Inside the found the keyboards with the missing buttons, the painting and many more evidence of his crimes. Van Pelt opened his computer and found the videos he kept from the murders. Lisbon ordered them to put out a warrant for his arrest and she send them home. There was nothing they could do about it. They had to wait now.
Two hours later:
Lisbon stopped for groceries on her way back. She hold them in one hand and with the other talked on the phone with Angela and Charlotte.
"How are you sweetheart?" Lisbon asked Charlotte with a loving voice.
"Fine mommy. Aunt Angela let me watch a movie and she read me a fairy tale."
"That's nice. I will see you later. Be careful and try to be a good girl, okay?"
"Okay, mommy. Love you."
"Love you too, honey." Lisbon said and hung up. She putted her phone in her pocket and opened slowly her front door. When she was inside, someone grabbed her from her back and putted a fabric on her nose. Everything went black.
