A/N: Wow, quick update! I seriously wanted to continue this, though it might not be like you expected. Sorry for that!

I'm DYING to see 4x22, it airs tonight in the US, and I can watch it tomorrow. I have to keep off of the complete freaking internet not to spoil myself in everything that happened :S.

Disclaimer: Not mine :'(


"Oh, come on! Epps has an apprentice! Hasn't that thought crossed your mind?" Lisbon exclaimed at the hospital TV. She was watching old episodes of Bones. Not that she hadn't seen them all, but she just wanted to do something. She didn't know why they kept her in the hospital any longer, it wasn't like her situation was unstable or whatever. She assumed everybody in the hospital was worried about her doing bad things to herself. And then there was still the amnesia, from which the doctors were still not sure she was cured from that.

"Go home, Teresa. I'm not kidding. You need to get some rest, staying here and waiting till he comes to get you is useless. Above all, it was you who sent him away. Not to be rude, but it's your own fault," Lisbon's nurse, Milagros Coop said as she checked some things next to Lisbon's bed.

Lisbon looked up at her.

"How do you know?"
"Oh, believe me, it's obvious. Besides, I'm only nineteen, and I watch a lot of soaps. Believe me, I have an eye for these things."

Lisbon blushed.

"Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah. Even though I don't know you that well, this doesn't seem like you. You seem like the woman who goes after men, or adventure, not the one who looks at it in TV shows. Come on, go. Go after him. I can see you love him," Milagros said. Lisbon smiled.

"Thanks Milagros. And you should do as well," she said, while sitting up straight, and moving to get out of her bed. Milagros' eyes widened.

"Is it that obvious?" she teased, mimicking what Lisbon did a few moments ago. They both laughed, as Lisbon stood on her feet and was busy getting the hospital gown off. Milagros went to her side to help her.

"Okay, this may sound weird, coming from me, but can I just say that the man is lucky?" Milagros asked. Lisbon smiled again.

"Thank you," Lisbon whispered, and buttoned up her blouse. She reached out, and hugged the girl, which startled her.

But she complied, and put her arms around Lisbon.

"You're welcome, Sweety," Milagros whispered.

"Hey Jane! Back again? Where's Lisbon?" Van Pelt asked, as Jane walked into the bullpen the next day. Jane didn't look at her, nor did he look at the rest of the team. He just shrugged, and laid down on his couch.

Van Pelt frowned.

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Jane..." Van Pelt said, but Jane just stared at the Elvis stain on the ceiling.

Van Pelt sighed. She decided to let it rest.

But that decision changed when Lisbon still hadn't arrived an hour later. She jumped up, and walked over to his couch.

"Okay, speak up now or I'll beat it out of you!" she exclaimed, and Jane startled.

He opened his eyes, and sat up straight.

"I have no idea where Lisbon is."

"But what happened?"

"We... She got her memories back, and-"

"Wait, what? She recovered?" Rigsby interrupted him.

Van Pelt shot him an evil glare, to tell him to shut up and let Jane continue. It wasn't like she wasn't happy that Lisbon got back, but she rather wanted to hear what happened after that.

Jane closed his eyes.

"I... wanted to be with her, but... she said that I had to go. She didn't want to see me again. So I left. I don't know what happened to her after that."

"But..." Van Pelt murmured, trying to comprehend what he'd just said.

"What happened with you after that?" Van Pelt finally asked.

Jane frowned.

"I... I went to my old house in Malibu, and I..." he started, but didn't finish. Though that wasn't needed, at least Van Pelt understood what he meant.
"You broke down under the smiley. Right?" she asked, and he nodded, sadly, looking down at his lap.

She placed a hand on his shoulder.

He looked up, and smiled a sad smile.

She returned it.

"Is there something I can do for you?" she asked. Jane shook his head.

But when she stood up, ready to go make some coffee for herself, he grabbed her arm.

"Wait, there is."

"What is it?"

"I... can you do a background check on Lisbon? I want to know what happened to her after her father died," he said, and she nodded.

She walked over to her computer, and opened some programs that might help her.

After a few minutes later, she looked over at Jane, and he was staring at the ceiling again.

She sighed.

She didn't exactly want to find out things about Lisbon's past. She was her boss, and she didn't think she had the right to know these things. But it could help Jane. And anything that could help Jane would do for her.

Jane was a good friend of her, and she'd always hated to see good friends in pain.

She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the results of one test on her screen.

"Jane," she hissed, and he jumped up.

Within seconds, he was standing next to her, looking over her shoulder to the screen.

And he too stopped dead in her tracks.
Why didn't she tell him this?

-YulianaHenderson-

Lisbon sat outside the hospital.

Where could she go?

She didn't want to be alone, didn't want to be caught up in her depressive thoughts.

She just wanted to be with somebody.

But the only one she truly wanted to be with was out of her life. She couldn't call him anymore. He sure as hell hated her.

She took her phone out of her pocket.

No, not Rigsby. Or Van Pelt. Or Cho.

Summer was with Cho, so no Summer as well.

Hightower was on the run. She laughed. What was happening to Hightower right now, she didn't know. But she could still remember how she had adored that woman. How persistent and assertive that woman was, that was sure something Lisbon wanted be able to do as well.

That left Minelli. He was... her hero, he was the father she never had. Well, she had, but Minelli acted like a real father, a father she really wanted to have, but couldn't have.

She clicked his name, dialing his number. She waited until he answered it.

"Virgil Minelli."

"Sir! Sir... It's... It's me, Lisbon," Lisbon breathed, and Minelli already knew what was wrong. Well, not quite, but he knew that something was wrong.

"Where are you?" he asked, concern in his voice.

"At the hospital," she said, and he immediately hung up. She was sure he would take care of her, at least for the time being.

How she loved that man. She could always count on him.

Within a few minutes, he was already there. He approached her, and she slowly stood up. She then immediately flung her arms around him, and he directly complied.

He kissed the top of her head.

"You can explain what happened at home. Now, follow me into the car."


A/N: The episode of Bones that Lisbon is watching is 2x04, FYI :D.

Let me know what you think in a REVIEW, thank you!
