Chapter Three
The drive back to the office was rather silent, but not awkward. In front of the FBI office, Abbott stood expecting them, and he escorted them to his office, Jane and John decided to bond and Abbott excused them from the office, Lisbon following closely, when they were out Sherlock turned to Abbott "What happened to her team?", "What you mean?" Abbott asked, "Clearly she was in authority before, now she isn't, what happened to her team?", "Well they got disbanded by the FBI." Abbott said looking at Jane, "It had something to do with him?" Sherlock asked turning to look at Jane, "Sort of" Abbott answered, two officers walked in, "Meet agent Fischer and agent Kimball Cho" Abbott said, Sherlock shook their hands, "I'm Sherlock Holmes." He said, "I've heard about you" Cho said from John's Memo's, "Nice to meet you." Sherlock turned and walked out of the office walking toward the talking crew, they were silent once he arrived, and Jane turned to him, "Sorry about my comments about you being an addict, I understand life is hard." "No worries about it" Sherlock answered, "In fact I'm delighted in your deduction ability." Lisbon looked pleased so did Watson, they smiled at each other from the corner of their lips, "You know" Sherlock said turning to Lisbon, "Your brother or brothers will be proud of your boyfriend if they get to meet him", "And your wife will be proud of the decision of the friend you have" Jane said to John, John reacted first, "How did you know, I'm not with my ring?" Jane smiled, "The area around your ring finger is pale, limited blood supply I don't suppose you would tie a rope there." Lisbon turned to Sherlock, "How did you know I had brothers?", Sherlock turned to go, "You have that tomboy personality, anyone would know." "Mr. Jane how would you like to bond over tea, you strike me as a tea person." "It will be a pleasure" Jane replied giddily. They sat at the table quietly sipping away at their tea, Sherlock looked around the pen, and then back at Jane, "You know Scotland Yard is quite different from this place, but the method of operation is quite the same." Jane looked up, "You loved her that much?" Sherlock asked, "Who?" Jane asked "Your ex-wife." Sherlock said, "How did you figure that?" Jane asked, "You keep rubbing your ring finger subconsciously, and you don't have a ring on it, definitely you must have had one there, I don't suppose you'd tie a rope there." Sherlock said smiling and so did Jane, "What was her name?" Sherlock asked, "Angela." Jane said, "Why did she leave you?" He asked again, "She didn't, she died, was killed, long story, don't ask." Jane said quickly. Sherlock sat there looking with a cold stare as if Jane should have known better. "Love isn't such a bad thing." Jane said, Sherlock just grunted and returned to his tea. Abbott came in with Lisbon, Fischer, Cho and John, "I'm glad you could bond over tea" he said walking towards them, but we have work to do.
