Sorry about the delay but I wrote two stories about once upon a time. If you are a fan of that show, please check my profile and read them
Lisbon went early to office that day. She had tons of paperwork on her desk to finish. She prepared a cup of coffee and entered her office. She opened her computer and began to work. One hour later Van Pelt was the first to arrived. She said good morning to Lisbon and went to her desk. Lisbon asked her to search about their victim's life when she arrived to the USA.
Lisbon had finished one of her paperwork when she heard a knock on her door. When the door opened an old friend of hers appeared and Teresa stood up to greet him.
"Marcus, how are you?" Lisbon asked with a smile and nodded to him and he sat across Lisbon.
"I'm fine thank you. I can see you remain as beautiful as the last time I saw you." Pike said smiling.
"Thanks for the compliment. Did you come for business?" Lisbon asked gentle.
"Yeah but not with your team unfortunately. I work with Robinson's team. I came to see you and tell you a hi." Marcus replied softly.
"That was nice. " Lisbon responded friendly.
"I wonder if you are free for lunch. I will like you to accompany me. What do you think?" Pike asked her hopefully.
"I'll like it. You are a good friend of mine." Lisbon replied and she saw the sadness in his eyes.
"Perfect." he replied casually.
That moment the door opened and Jane entered. He looked at the strange man and back to Lisbon. He walked close to her making a point on the man in front of him.
"Marcus, I'll like to introduce you our new consultant Mr. Patrick Jane." Lisbon said and the two men exchanged headshaking.
"Jane, this is Marcus Pike. He is a FBI agent. He works at the art departure." Lisbon explained.
"Art department? How does it fit with our case?" Jane asked
"It doesn't. Marcus is a friend. We worked together before some months. He came to see us." Lisbon explained calm.
"Ah, I see." Jane replied with a low voice looking at Pike.
"Anyway, I have to go." Pike said and stood up. "I will see you at lunch Teresa." he continued and left with a last glance at Jane who had his hand on Lisbon's shoulder.
"So, you and Pike." Jane said sarcastically.
"Me and Pike what?" Lisbon asked puzzled.
"Did you have a fling with that guy?" Jane asked serious.
"What?" Lisbon asked weird and Jane could see there was nothing between them.
"Nothing. Forget it." he responded softly.
They stayed silent until Cho and Rigsby arrived to CBI. Lisbon had still a lot of paperwork to finish and asked Cho to take Jane and go to talk with the father of the baby Ricardo Tyson.
They arrived at the stadium where Ricardo Tyson had a rehearsal before his concert next Saturday. Cho showed his badge and they went inside. On stage they saw Tyson's ballet to dance under the guiding of his manager.
When he saw them, he stopped the dance and asked the girls for a an half hour break. Then he return to them and Cho began the questions.
"They told me you are police officers. What's going on?" he asked first polite
"Did you have in your ballet a woman named Adrianna Lockseak?" Cho asked icily.
"Yeah. She worked with us for a while. " he replied calm
"How much time did she work here?" Jane asked
"Two months I think." he said unsure
"Do you know if she had any relationship with Mr. Tyson?" Jane asked straight
"I don't know what to tell you. "
"Please speak free." Cho said coldly.
"Ricardo has a weakness about the nice gender. Of course, he keeps it secret. His wife has the company and she writes his songs. So, you can understand why he hides his weakness."
"Did you see anything? Mr. Tyson with Adrianna?" Jane asked serious.
"Yeah. I didn't want it. I hear them talking. She told him she was pregnant. And he told to get rid of the baby. He didn't want to have a connection with her. Because of his wife. He doesn't love her but he doesn't want a divorce. He will lose everything. After it, she quitted. i never saw her again. " he said sincere.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Cho said and they made their way to the backstage.
They found Ricardo dress room and they entered. He was alone and Cho showed him his badge and introduced their selves.
" Adrianna Lockseak was found dead in her apartment. She had photos of you. She didn't see in your face the singer but the father of her baby " Cho said ice.
"This conversation will stay between us. I will tell you everything. " Mr. Tyson said guilty.
"We can hear you." Cho said
"I had a romantic relationship with her. I didn't want it to happen but she was pregnant. One time we didn't use condom and it happened. " he said "bad luck"
"That's not bad luck. It's stupidity." Jane stated serious.
"I won't apologized to you." he answered a little upset.
"Your child died through labor and someone let it on a park." Jane hissed.
"I'm sorry. I though she got rid it. I gave her twenty thousand dollars. She promised me to take care of it and I believed her."
"Really? She could destroy your life with that child. " Jane said
"You may were scared of her. She could blackmail you to recognize the baby." Cho suggested
"Two months later, she came to my concert. I saw her with her friend. She looked at me in the eyes. She wasn't pregnant. " Tyson said softly.
"That is what she wanted you to believe. But someone knew the truth and waited." Cho replied.
"I have no idea for it." he responded
Cho and Jane didn't have more question and left the stadium and went back to CBI.
Lisbon had gather them around the table for an update.
"We spoke to Ricardo Tyson. he admitted his relationship with her but he didn't know about the baby. he had paid her to lose it and he though she did it." Cho explained
"Do you believe he told you the truth? " Lisbon asked
"He may be a jerk but he didn't do it. His expression when we told him about the baby was sincere." Jane replied giving her a small smile.
"Perfect. One suspect down." Lisbon said with a sigh. "Van Pelt, did you find anything?"
"Yes. Rigsby and I found a lawyer she visited. Her name is Emily Bach. Nothing else I'm afraid." Van Pelt replied softly.
"Okay, keep looking. Jane and I will go to visit her." Lisbon said and they left with a nod.
Lisbon went back to her office and Jane followed her inside. He saw her to take her bag and her jacket and asked.
"Were are you going?" he asked softly supporting himself on her door.
"Marcus invited me for lunch. I will be back in less than an hour. Then we will go to visit the lawyer." Lisbon replied calm.
"Marcus..." Jane said behind his teeth.
"Oh my god. Are you jealous?" Lisbon said amused
"Please. " Jane snorted "He is too boring for it."
"Okay." Lisbon replied smiling and walked to the door "It's not a date Jane. I never wanted him." Lisbon whispered in his ear and left.
One hour later Lisbon was back from her lunch and she with Jane went to Emily Bach's office. She was a woman in her early forties and very beautiful. She greeted them polite and offered them a cup of coffee and tea for Jane.
"Why did Adrianna Lockseak come to you? Did she have any troubles with the law?" Lisbon asked in her usual professional voice.
"The first time was a week after she arrived from her country here to USA. She needed help with her papers. I didn't see her until five months ago. She was pregnant and she couldn't work. She was afraid about her green card. " Mrs. Bach explained softly.
"Did you help her?" Jane asked
"Yeah. I reassured her that everything would be fine." she responded calm. "What happened to her baby? Is it ok?" she asked worried.
"Unfortunately no. We found him death." Lisbon replied and Mrs. Bach couldn't hide her sadness.
"It's so sad. She was so young. So good. Did you inform Mr. and Mrs. Maguire about it?" she asked suddenly.
"Who?" Lisbon asked her serious.
"They would adopt her child. They met here in my office. I was late on court and they met and talk while they waited. Mr. and Mrs. Maguire tried for years to adopt a baby but Mr. Maguire had made a small misdemeanor when he was young and it is difficult for them. " Mrs. Back explained.
"And they would adopt her baby?" Jane asked confused.
"Adrianna didn't want the baby. She was ready to have an abortion. then she talked with them and they convinced her to keep it and gave it to them after labor." Mrs. Bach responded.
"Will they pay for it?" Jane asked
"I don't know. I didn't hear anything about money." she replied and opened her notebook and wrote something. "Here, this is their address. You may want to speak with them." she said and gave to Lisbon a piece of paper.
"Thanks for your help. If you remember anything else please contact with us." Lisbon replied and took the paper for her hands and left the office.
As soon they were in the car, Lisbon called Cho and asked him to run a search for Mr. and Mrs. Maguire. Jane and Lisbon drove to their house and before they arrived Cho called them and gave them some details. They were both doctors and Mr. Maguire was arrested for auto theft when he was seventeen. They didn't have any complains in their records and their financial were not very good.
They arrived an hour later. Lisbon knocked their door and they entered. Mr. and Mrs. Maguire seems confused with their present on their house and they went to the living to discuss.
"Do you knock a woman Adrianna Lockseak?" Lisbon asked serious.
"You had made a deal with her to adopt her baby." Jane continued
"Is Adrianna ok? Our baby?" Mrs. Maguire said worried.
"Unfortunately they died both in labor." Lisbon said and they both closed their eyes. Mr. Maguire putted his hand on his wife shoulder trying to support her. Lisbon explained them how they found them.
"We heard about a dead baby which had found on a park. We were shocked. We both cried. We couldn't imagine it was our Pete." Mr. Maguire said with sadness.
"We decided to name his Pete. We chose this name ten years ago. When we got married." Mrs. Maguire whispered in her tears. "We had prepared everything. We were so exciting about this baby."
"Did you keep contact with her?" Lisbon asked
"yes, we talked on the phone. We offered her to help her with her pregnancy. We are both doctors but she denied." the husband answered.
"But you were stalking her." Jane interrupted him. "One of the neighbors recognized your car." Jane continued
"Yes. We parked outside her house. We were worried for the baby's safety. " he admitted calm.
"And then you lost your control when she told you she wanted to keep the baby." Lisbon pressured them.
"We would never hurt her." he said upset. "We are desperate but no monsters. If she had changed her mind, we would have accepted it. We would helped her. We know how it feels to not have a child. How much it hurts. We would never do it to her."
"Where were you two nights ago?" Lisbon asked cold.
"We were in the hospital. We had the night shift. You can check it." the husband said.
"We will." Lisbon replied and they left.
Three hours late their alibis were checked and it seemed they said the truth. Lisbon ordered her team to go home to rest.
"What will you do this fine evening?" Jane asked gentle when they were alone in her office.
"Unfortunately, I have a late meeting with Minelli. I have to stay until late tonight. You?" Lisbon asked softly.
"I invited Sam and Pete to my house. We will have a couple of drinks and eat dinner together." Jane responded and went to close the blinds.
"Jane?" Lisbon asked but Jane stopped her by crushing his lips on hers.
Lisbon was in shock at his unexpected attack. her mind went completely blank with the exception of how good this felt. Then her mind started functioning and she realized that perhaps touching him would be a nice start. Jane's arms were wrapped around her and he pulled her against his. Then he gripped her hair, holding her head as he was deepening the kiss. Lisbon's felt her knees to get weak and she wrapped her arms around him.
Lisbon pulled back for air and Jane moved his lips from her mouth to her neck, kissing and sucking her smooth skin giving her soft bites. Lisbon let her head fall back, moaning and gasping as Jane sucked her pulsating vein. Her hands locked around his neck and she pulled him for another deep kiss as she was biting his under lip. Lisbon tilted her head from side to side, letting him devour her mouth.
"Hmm, I have to leave Jane." Lisbon murmured in his mouth but he continued kissing her once more, his lips behind her ear and his tongue around her earlobe making Lisbon moaned just before she murmured again.
"Minelli waits for me."
"Okay." Jane whispered and pulled back making Lisbon regret miss the contact. "Call me when you arrive home." he said serious and Lisbon nodded with a smile.
Two hours later Jane had finished cooking and served dinner to Sam and Pete. They sat around the table and began to eat.
"So, what's going on in your life Patrick? You seem happier from the last time we saw you." Pete began the conversation.
"I am happy." Jane responded smiling.
"Is it because of your lady cop?" Sam asked amused.
"Yeah, we kind of being together." Jane replied lightly.
"It's good. To be honest we were worried about you. You need people in your life Patrick." Pete replied serious.
"I though she is just a friend, like you insisted. " Sam scoffed.
"I was fouling myself. You were right" Jane replied softly.
"Jane, what do you hide?" Sam asked seriously.
"I don't know what you mean." Jane replied casual.
"Don't try to fool us. Out with it." Pete said and Jane let out a sigh and told me everything about the bet and how he met her.
"You ended the bet. Does that mean you love her?" Pete asked
"Yes. I love her too much for her to get hurt." Jane replied with sadness.
"Patrick, you have to tell her." Sam said
"Why? We are in a good place. I don't want this to end."
"Don't you see , Patrick? You are hurting her with this. Do you want your relationship to be bases on a lie?" Sam replied.
"No, but it's not anymore." Lane murmured.
"If she finds out about it, she will kick your ass. She will hate you. I recommend you to tell her the truth. Teresa is a good, understanding person. She might be mad at first but if she loves you she will forgive you. Forgiveness is the key to any relationship. " San said.
"I don't know. I'm so afraid now." Jane whispered.
Sam and Pete didn't pressure him more and changed the topic and continued to eat.
