A/N: Please don't shoot me! I come in peace I promise! I thought I was busy before but now it's 10 times worse. Since I was just waiting for our new couch to come in today, I couldn't leave the house and I decided to finally write something for you guys. Thank you so much for the reviews and favorites guys! You're the best and the ideas were amazing. I'm preparing on the next one now.

This came especially late because a friend of mine who usually bothers me in class moved. Happy Presidents Day!

Anybody ever read that fanfic where Lisbon was dating a serial killer and supposedly got pregnant by him, then Jane moves in with them and takes care of Lisbon and eventually finds out it was his anyway and not the psycho? I really want to reread it and if you guys know the title or author, I would love you forever!

"A couple of witnesses saw a black Chevy Volt leaving the premises at around the time of death," Cho deadpanned, "We also found a few fresh tracks heading north matching the ones near the cabin. Van Pelt is already on the process of tracking the car down."

"A BOLO has already been spread through the neighboring local PDs. We will catch the bastard that did this boss," Rigsby supplied.

The team was spectacular with their jobs; hence the highly accumulated praises across the state with their impeccably rapid case solving rate that has every other team in the CBI envied and looked up to. Everybody who's working the case worked like there's no tomorrow. Now, the team was all on their toes because this time, it's personal. This time, it involves their feisty little leader, Agent Teresa Lisbon.

Leaving Van Pelt's new found computer lab, she headed towards her team and said, "The only thing offending about Wesley Cordova's records was a couple of speeding tickets but even that is paid. So, record wise, the guy is clean, boss."

Of course he's clean! I wasn't just handing my only sister to anybody. I did my own background check before my sister married Charlie and the life she's getting into. Lisbon thought to herself.

"The medical examiner's reports will be forwarded to us bright and early tomorrow as well as ballistics' confirmation of the gun that killed our victim," Rigsby informed.

"Great job, guys," Lisbon offered an appreciative smile at her team, "I think we're done here. We start interviewing relatives and friends after we all get a good night's rest. I want everybody working on every possible leads tomorrow and I can't have that if my agents are all burnt out. Is that clear?"

A chorus of 'yes boss' filled the air as everybody filed into the rented car.

After dinner, the team parted the diner a couple blocks from their hotel. While the rest of the team was settled in their respective rooms, Lisbon fetched the rental car's keys and headed towards the parking. When she found the car, Lisbon was greeted by the sight of a bored looking Patrick Jane leaning on the driver's side.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"What are you doing here?" they both asked simultaneously.

"I have to go see Thea and Tony. What are you doing here?" she asked again.

"Ok. I'm coming with."

Lisbon didn't argue since there was no point in arguing with Patrick Jane. She climbed into the SUV and Jane did the same as they drove off into the quiet night of San Diego. Minutes passed and the car slowly stopped in front of a two story cream colored house and Lisbon took the empty spot in the driveway next to her sister's car.

Lisbon headed to the front door with Jane on her heels. She pulled out a set of keys which contained a spare her apartment, car and the spare key to her sister's house.

When she swung the door open, she was tackled by a little blur. She almost hit the floor when Jane caught her, trust fall-like. My hero. She thought to herself and gave Jane a smile, "Thanks."

"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy! Auntie Reese is here!" her almost 7 year old nephew who could pass as her own son for inheriting his mother's dark and wavy brown hair yelled and bounced around her. He held Lisbon's hand and started pulling her towards the living room where Thea was seated.

"Hey buddy! Wait up, where's my hug?"

Tony stopped then turned around to hurl himself into his aunt's arms. "I missed you Aunt Reese!" he said with a little sadness in his voice.

"I missed you too, Tony. We'll talk later ok, bud? I have to talk to your mom first."

"Is it about daddy? Are you bringing him home soon?" His blue innocent eyes bore into her green ones and all she could do was make sure to be on top of her game to find the bastard that took his brother in law.

Lisbon hugged the boy tighter to her knowing they both needed the comfort it provided and whispered, "Yes it is. I want you to know that I'm going to try my best to get your dad home soon ok?"

The boy's only reply was a nod she felt against her neck.

"My friends, the ones I told you about before, are helping me out on looking for your dad. One of them is here with me; do you want to meet him, Tony?"

Tony pulled back allowing him to look at her aunt's face and looked through his aunt's shoulder to see a man standing behind her. "Is that him?" he asked cautiously.

"This is my friend Patrick Jane, Patrick this is Tony Reid. Why don't you show him your videogame collection and play so I can go talk to your mom?" she asked Tony as she put him down.

When his aunt was nowhere in sight, Tony looked at Jane curiously.

"Are you Auntie Reese's boyfriend? My mom said she had a boyfriend and I was supposed to meet him in two weeks!"

Jane kneeled down so they were facing each other properly. "Did your aunt tell you she was taking her boyfriend with her to your party?" Jane asked, slightly amused and then smirked. He just gained new ammunition for teasing his beloved Teresa.

The boy nodded in agreement, "He told mommy a long time ago."

"Does your Auntie Reese take her boyfriends to meet you often?"

Tony brought his tiny fingers to his face, remembering if his aunt did bring someone over to meet them. "She only talks about the people she works with but she never brought anyone home with her, except… for you."

Jane took a great amount of pleasure at the boy's response and his expression was just the usual charming one he paraded around that only Lisbon and the CBI staff knows that it creams, 'I know something and you're toast!'

Both were too exhausted when they got back to the hotel and without any arguments, Lisbon didn't bother that Jane was sharing her bed for the night even with the team scattered right down the hall.

"Good night Patrick," he heard Lisbon murmur against her pillow before shutting her eyes.

"Night Teresa," he answered and pulled her closer to him.

Ever since Jane and Lisbon started dating, Jane was basically living with Lisbon in her apartment and every night was spent with the little agent next to him while sleeping and it gave him comfort, comfort he hasn't felt since his late wife. Since the first night they both shared a bed, Jane's bloody and horrific dreams started to dissipate and because of that he started to get actual sleep. Only a couple of hours at first but now he's slowly turning into a normal sleeping human being. The only thing that wakes him up from his sweet slumber is when the other side of the bed is empty.

Just like the mentalist woke up to early in the morning.

"Teresa?" he said loudly, just enough so the person in the en suite could hear him. "Teresa, honey, where are you?"

When Jane sat up in bed, he noticed that her gun and badge was gone, including her shoes and phone. Jane started to worry but when he looked at her side again, he noticed that there was something on the pillow. A note written on the hotel's little notepad.

Found a lead on the car and I'm heading there now.

You looked so adorable sleeping and I don't have the heart of waking you up.

Love you,
