Chapter Five

Teresa's Office

"Lisbon," Jane hesitated, "It's about Frank."

"Isn't he wonderful?" She clearly didn't see what was happening.

"Yeah but," he thought for a short second about telling her the truth until she interrupted him.

"I think I have real feelings for him." Teresa couldn't believe that came out; she never told him those kinds of details. "Did I really just say that?" she asked.

"Yeah," he sighed, "I have to go. Laroche is waiting for me outside; we have unfinished business."

"D- Did I say something?" she stuttered. "Something was making you upset just a minute ago and now you seem fine."

"I'm over it now. I've got to go Lisbon. I'll call you once I'm done with Laroche unless you're going to be busy with you know who."

"Just call me Jane. I was really worried about you…you were shaking and you never do that."

"Oh that," he said, "It was nothing. I guess Laroche just makes me jittery."

"Just make sure you call me right afterwards, ok?"

"Yes ma'am." He was in the elevator next thing he knew. Frank was starting to really get to him. Why did he think Jane was such a threat? Was he? No way, he thought.

Teresa and Frank were now in their meeting, trying to think of a way to get the real killer of his ex-wife. She still didn't understand this whole ex-wife ordeal.

"Is there anyone specific that would have a reason to do this?" She asked.

"She was loved by everybody Teresa. Nobody had a reason to kill her."

"What about any previous lovers?"

"I was her only lover."

"She could've been having an affair. Did she ever lead you to believe that?"

"Amy would never cheat on me, she knew better." He grinned.

"You never know Frank, women can be sneaky."

He gave her a look, his eyebrows formed a V-shape, and his lips got tense. "Why do you say that?"

"I've seen it before. Actually I see it quite often to be honest. It's not unusual."

"Are you sneaky?"

"Are you accusing me?" She was confused.

"Maybe I am…so are you?"

"I don't have to tell you anything; you and I aren't that close yet."

"But we will be because I really care about you Lisbon. "

"Did you just call me Lisbon?"

"Patrick does it too."

"I know but the way you said it made it sound like you were making fun of it."

"He's a fool that's why he calls you that and not your first name." He corrected her.

"I call him by his last name too. Am I also a fool Frank?" Who did he think he was anyways?

"Calm down baby, relax and focus on the case. Now when can we bring in suspects?"

Teresa shook the feelings off and approached the case. "I need a list of them before we can do anything. You still need to think of some people who would've done it."

After an hour of thinking, Frank finally had a list consisting of 6 liable suspects. Their names were: Danny Merano, Ben Fergs, Matt Lenjo, Chris Mettof, Johnny Berson, and Lenard Boice.

"Where do we start?" Frank asked.

"My team and I will handle this. You can go home now."

"I thought I could help take them down and stuff."

"Don't you have work to go to? You need to get going. I'll see you tonight."

"Alright, I'll go back to my boring job and I'll see you at 8 babe." He leaned down and kissed her more passionately than she would've liked at work. She waved to him as he walked towards the elevator.

"Boss this Lenard guy has some heavy baggage." said Rigsby. "He was arrested on drug charges but released the next day thanks to his lawyer."

"Keep looking into him; try to find enough to get a warrant. We need all six of these guys to interrogate."

"I've got something too," Grace called over to Teresa, "Danny is still in jail for killing his girlfriend and their baby. So he couldn't do it; he's been there since '99."

"Good work." She crossed Danny's name of the list. "Grace can look into Ben and Matt and Rigsby you can look into Lenard and Chris. Cho you get Johnny and you can help the other two out. Get to work guys." She began to walk out. "Have any of you heard from Jane lately?"

They all shook their heads no. "He was supposed to call me but never did and it's been two hours." She walked out to take care of some of her own business.

"She's so with the wrong man guys," Grace quietly said. She always secretly wanted Jane and Teresa to be together but never said it.

Jane paced back and forth in his hideaway spot. He sat down then got right back up. The attic was dusty and cold but had windows so he didn't mind.

What am I going to do? Red John or Lisbon; how am I supposed to decide between the two? If I let Red John go then I will have let down Angela and Charlotte but if I let Lisbon go I won't be able to stop her from being with that jerk of a boyfriend. Laroche is evil for making me choose.

So many thoughts went through his mind. As he was thinking of this, he remembered he needed to call Teresa. "She's going to be so pissed." He said. He raced out of the attic and went to Teresa's office door and knocked.

"Nice of you to show up Jane," he was right; she was mad.

"Lisbon I was going to call but I got hung up with something."

"Was it Laroche?"

"Yeah, he agreed to help me with Red John. At first I thought he was connected to him but he explained everything and we're going to be working together."

"That's great Jane!" She couldn't stay mad at this man for some reason and ran over to hug him but he stopped her.

"There's more to the story though," he held out his hand to stop her, "he wouldn't do it unless it was a deal."

"What kind of deal?" she asked.

"He's making me chose between Red John and you Teresa."

"He can't do that to you! What an ass that man is." She shouted. "Wait, why would you have to help me? I'm no serial killer or in trouble in any way."

"You are in trouble though and Frank's the reason."

"What are you talking about? Sometimes you make no sense; you start running your mouth and have no reasoning behind your words!"

"Just listen to me," he took her hands but she pulled away, "I'm trying to help you and you're pushing me away."

"I really like him and I don't want or need your damn help Jane."

"Of course you like him; he's different around you than he is around me."

"Just stop it. I don't want to hear any more of your accusations. I just want a relationship; is that so hard to ask for?"

"Just let me explain Lisbon-"

"No, I'm done. I'm done with your mind games and all of this crap you put me through, just leave."

"Lis-"

"Please just leave." She gently pushed him towards the door until he left on his own. She shut the door and began crying the most she's cried since Bosco passed. She didn't understand why she was though; Jane was lying to her and giving her misleading about Frank.

It looks like Jane and her are done with each other.
