She was mad. I could tell. Anyone could tell. Even if you had never met her, you could tell. We had done a stupid stunt again to get the killer. It had worked, but she was still mad. She had told us not to get into it,. She knew we wouldn't be able to resist, or rather that Jane wouldn't be able to resist. And we went along, without telling her.
I could see her through the blinds of the windows in her office. She was hunching over her desk, working on paperwork. I knew she wasn't really doing paper work; I'd been working with her long enough to know that she was just trying to calm down. If any of us went in there right now, she would snap.
And here comes Jane. He always knows what she's feeling. He knows that she's mad. And he's going to go in there anyway. It's obvious that she has a thing for him, but he's all wrong for her. He's not over his wife yet and she shouldn't have to wait.
He's in there now. She's yelling at him. And he's standing there smiling, like he always does. I know she's going to run out of steam soon and then she's just going to glare at him. He's going to laugh and it will all be over. She'll have been powerless to his charm. What can I say; we're all powerless to him. That's why Rigsby and I always go along with him.
And there's the moment. She finally gives up; he's not even listening really. This makes me feel guilty. She has way too much stress in her life. She needs to be able to relax. Jane should ask her out for dinner, but I don't think he will. She needs to get out, just relax, release.
Maybe I could find her a date. I knew plenty of single men, and women if she would prefer, but she doesn't seem the type. Maybe I should ask her to dinner, just as a friend of course. I don't think she would go with me any other way.
He's leaving her office now. I know he's going to go lay down on his couch, like nothing even happened. I guess it's now or never. I go over and knock on her door. "What do you want, Jane?" She calls through the door. I open it.
"Hey, boss," I say, coming into the room.
"Oh. Sorry, Cho. What did you need?" She still looks stressed out, but not as mad as she did before Jane came in.
"I was wondering if you want to get a bite to eat, my treat, to say sorry for the way we acted today."
"Thank you, Cho. That would be nice." She seemed surprised that I was asking, I suppose I had never asked her to go out before, but there was a first time for everything.
"So, whenever you're ready, just let me know." I didn't want to rush her; she did have more paperwork to do than me, especially after Jane's stupid stunt (they always created more paperwork).
"Sure, let me just finish up here." She started straightening her desk and putting papers into files.
"Ok, I'll just get ready." I was nervous and I didn't know why. It wasn't as if I hadn't ever been out with Lisbon, but usually it was with the entire team. It was just dinner with the boss. It was going to be fine.
"Are you ready?" asked Lisbon, coming up behind me. I grabbed my coat.
"Yeah, why don't you follow me to the restaurant? I was thinking Mexican."
"Sounds good." She said and headed out the door.
No one seemed to notice that we were leaving together, although I thought I saw Jane lift his head off the couch slightly, as if to make sure that he really was seeing us leave together.
