Chapter Four

At the CBI office

Jane and Teresa faced each other; Lisbon sat at her desk and Jane in the chair across from her. They had been talking about Laroche and how they would handle the situation.

"Jane we need to take this slow; not rush into things this fast." Teresa said.

"I'm confident he knows something about Red John, he may even know his identity. Lisbon I can't just sit back and watch."

"Why not, of all people I thought you would love to spy on someone." She joked playfully.

"Usually I would," he smiled and joked back, "but this time is different. We're talking about Red John Lisbon and you know-"

She cut him off, "yes Jane I know how you get when he's involved in something. You can't let him bring your judgment out of focus though."

"Laroche said the same thing."

"Maybe that's a sign that you should listen to us; if two people are telling you the same thing then you should take that and use it as something."

"I don't care what he thinks, but I do care what you think."

"Really?" Teresa didn't expect this one.

"Yeah," his voice got high pitched and faint, "what, you thought I didn't?"

"I just never thought you'd admit it. You don't always express your feelings to people."

"I do to you Lisbon; sometimes more than I should." He joked.

"Am I the only one you tell them to?" She hoped this answer was a yes.

"Yeah I guess you're the only person I trust. You mean a lot to me Teresa." His beautiful ocean tinted eyes smiled at her. She knew he was serious because he used her first name. She was at a loss for words at the moment. He never told her she meant a lot…he implied it sometimes never saying it though.

"Jane-"she started to say. Jane noticed J.J. Laroche entering the door closest to Grace's desk.

"Lisbon look who it is." He pointed.

Teresa exited her office, Jane by her side, and went over to the strange man standing in the doorway. "Laroche," she said, "What can I do for you? You're not here to bug my agents are you?"

"Teresa I haven't seen you for a while and Jane." He greeted them.

"Hi," Jane flashed his signature smile towards him, "funny that we meet up again isn't it?"

"Indeed it is Patrick." He looked nervous as he glanced over towards the three agents sitting innocently at their desks.

"Let's go to my office sir." Teresa ordered. As the trio was walking to the office, Frank came strolling in looking lost.

"Frank," Teresa called out, "you decided to show up!" The incident that happened the other night escaped her mind in the excitement to see him.

"Yeah I did. I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

"No," she said.

Jane cleared his throat in an attempt to bring Lisbon back to Earth. "Oh, this is senior agent J.J. Larcohe and this is my consultant Patrick Jane."

Jane held out his hand to shake; Frank held back. "So you're Patrick Jane…interesting."

"Oh and why is that interesting?" Jane asked.

"I've heard about you from Teresa here." He grabbed her, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"I hope they were good things." Jane said. He knew exactly what was going on; these two were dating. It made him a little bit nervous, Lisbon being in a relationship and all. He didn't want her getting hurt. The image of her face when Bosco passed was hard enough for him to bear.

"Mostly," Frank joked, "it's nice to finally meet you." He took his hand out this time and Jane shook it.

"Same." Jane said. Laroche was getting a little frustrated. "Teresa it's nice that your boyfriend and Jane are becoming best friends and all but we were in the middle of something." Jane looked insulted; he wasn't friends with her boyfriend.

"Oh yes we were! Frank would you mind waiting a couple minutes? There are some seats in the kitchen and help yourself to some food or a drink."

"I don't mind at all." He said walking towards the kitchen he had seen on his way in there.

"Jane," Teresa glanced back at him, "you coming?"

He thought about it. "Nah I'm going to talk to your friend some more."

Lisbon's head struck back in shock. She was pleased with how Jane was acting towards Frank. "Oh alright, play nice." She gave him a playful look as she walked into her office.

Jane entered the kitchen to find Frank sipping on tea; his tea and using his favorite blue cup and small plate. Did this bother him; yes. Did he say anything; no. Teresa seemed to really like this guy so he backed off.

"Patrick, you came to visit me I see."

"I'd call it talking but if visiting is what you like then alright." He laughed at Frank's wording. "You seem like a good guy Frank so I should assume you'll treat her right?"

"You mean Teresa?" Jane shook his head; his eyes showed much needed concern. "Patrick I will do anything it takes to keep her safe." This is exactly what Jane wanted to hear but he knew that Frank knew how to work people. "Teresa tells me you can read people like a physic. Was she lying?"

Jane observed the man in front of him. "You are a rich business man high up in your job, you think you know everything, you're arrogant yet level headed, and you were once married. How was that?" He asked. "Oh and you think you're fooling Teresa but you're not fooling me." Jane looked him dead in the eyes.

"Wow you are good Patrick. You are off on that last one though."

"Am I?" he asked confidently.

"Yeah I'm not trying to fool anyone especially Teresa." He was lying through his teeth and Jane could detect it all.

"It makes no sense to lie to me Frank. I can see right through you when you do. If you think I'm going to just sit back and watch you tear her apart you're terribly wrong, I must say."

Frank pulled him towards the stairs outside the elevator leading to Jane's hideaway spot; the attic. "Listen to me Patrick," he firmly suggested, "you aren't going to ruin this for me." He threatened. Jane wiped the "germs" from Frank's hands off of his sleeve. "I can't let you get in my way."

"I was just making a point. You don't need me to mess up this relationship because you'll do that on your own; it's just a matter of time."

He pulled Jane by his shirt collar, closer to him. "If want Teresa to be ok, you'll step away and back off Patrick. You don't want something to happen to happen to her do you? I didn't think so."

Jane got this fierce, mad look in his eyes. He thought about what Frank just said and decided to say, "Fine, you win Frank. I'll back down."

"Swear on her life you will?"

"I don't say that, not ever." He released himself from Frank's grasp and walked away. What just happened? Should Teresa know about it? No, he told himself. He couldn't put her in danger. Frank seemed all too serious about his threats and Jane didn't want to take the risk but he still didn't want Teresa to date that lunatic. "Damn it!" Jane shouted loud enough for Teresa to come out of her meeting and for the other people there to stare at him. "Nothing to see here." He said.

"Jane what's wrong?" Teresa came over quickly and asked.

"Nothing Lisbon, I just-"

"Patrick and I had such great bonding time didn't we?" Frank interrupted and put his hand on Jane's shoulder. Lisbon gave them both a strange look.

"Jane seriously, what's wrong. You don't look so good." She ignored Frank.

"I just wanted to say that I really like Frank here." He looked over at him. A spooked look in Jane's eyes appeared.

"That's it?" she asked. "What was that yelling thing you did just a second ago then?"

"That's just a game we made up." said Frank. "Every time we see each other we have to shout a swear word. It's just a silly thing we do." What a liar this man was!

"Jane is this true?" She asked.

"Of course it is Teresa." Frank answered.

"I was talking to Jane." She said. "Jane?"

He again looked over at Frank. "Yeah it's true." He pretended to laugh. Lisbon still looked concerned.

"Can I talk to you in private for a moment Jane?" Lisbon requested.

They walked back into her office. Jane looked back and got the death stare from Frank. She closed the door and sat down on her desk. "Hey I know you were lying out there. What happened between you two?" Jane couldn't look her in the eyes so he just played with his fingers as he sat on the couch. "Hey," Teresa walked closer towards him and knelt down so that she was below him, looking up at him she said, "you're scaring me." She grabbed his hands to stop them from moving; she noticed he was shaking. He never did that around her.

"You need to talk to me Jane. I will understand whatever you have to say, whatever it is I will understand." She smiled an encouraging smile at him. He finally caught her emerald gaze and started to speak.

Cliffhanger! Yes I hate them too but I just had to do it! What are you r opinions of Frank? How about those Jisbon moments? There are better ones to come…how do you think this story will end? Tell me in a review
