Jane's POV:
As soon as my car was in its normal parking spot I found that it was hard to keep a steady pace and to not just break into a run. When I was safely in the elevator and the button for the floor was pushed, I hardly had the patience to listen to that same crappy elevator music and to wait for the elevator to roar up to the floor that would give me the answers that I needed and wanted so badly. When I heard the ding of the elevator doors I barely waited for them to open up all the way before I was halfway to Lisbon's office. I walked straight past all my colleagues who staring and stormed into Lisbon's closed door. When she saw me come in she stood up and gave me that look of 'Jane don't you dare try and do anything stupid'. I of course didn't care what anyone never mind Lisbon had to say at this moment.
"Jane where is Ava, what the hell is this about her being missing? And this supposed head? You need to tell me what is going on..."She was rambling on again and I didn't have the time for this, so I just interrupted her.
"Where is Kristina I need to talk to her right now." I said with impatience.
"She's in the interview room… But I need to know about Ava before you do anything with her… Jane!" I had started to walk out before she could even finish her sentence I just didn't care anymore. When I walked into the interview room Kristina was sitting in the chair with a blanket around her, her face covered in dirt, and a red mark on her face. Given her circumstances she looked relatively calm. When she heard me she looked up and smiled.
"Jane." She said while nodding her head. I went and sat down in the chair across from her and the table. I looked at her studying her emotions and every movement. She wouldn't make eye contact with me for more then three seconds at a time, and she hid her hands under the table and blanket a sign of fear, or maybe even remorse.
"Kristina, I need to know why your still alive, why did he let you go free?" She looked at me as though that was the most stupid question I could ever ask her, but then she smiled and nodded as though she finally understood why I was asking such an absurd question.
"Jane, even the worst of killers, the most insane of sane people have some emotions… He let me go because he felt something, remorse maybe or even sympathy. But he did it because he actually cared Jane, It took some convincing I'll tell you b-" I cut her off right then, was she actually serious? She knew exactly who she was dealing with, and this man was not capable of any emotions whatsoever.
"Kristina, you know he didn't keep you alive because of any of that, this man is a monster and he does not feel… now tell me the real reason he let you free? Did you make a deal with him? Did he set you free to distract me? Come on what was it?" I was on the verge of just snapping and yelling at Kristina, how could she be so naïve?
"No Jane I told you… Ok well I don't know the real reason okay I just woke up on the side of the road, and when I looked over there was the CBI." She said while starting to cry. There was the fear she was holding back.
"Kristina, do you know if Red John took a girl named Ava, do you know anything about that?" I asked her hoping maybe he had mentioned it to her, even though it was unlikely for his character.
"What? Um... No, no he never talked about any girl… he only talked about you." I was about to ask more about what she meant, but then Lisbon came in the small interview room.
"Jane, you have to see this it's from Red John." Without questioning what it was I got up smiled back at Kristina and then went to see what new horror awaited me.
"This tape was just found in Kristina's coat, he must have put it in there before he dumped her. It's addressed to you Jane." She handed me the tape and I put it into the TV in her office. What I saw before me was blackness, and then screaming. It was flashing and then there was light and Ava's face covered in tears and blood… She was in a coffin, somewhere six feet beneath the ground. Then there was a voice that appeared on the screen. 'You have four hours to find her Jane before she runs out of oxygen and she's lost forever six feet under... Good luck finding her, oh and say hi to Kristina for me'
"Jane… Ava has asthma we have half the time, which means we barely have two hours."
