***In the forest, again***

Actually, it was a beautiful midday of fall and the green-yellow-golden-brown-red leaves were shining in the most bright and marvelous colors that could be imagined. It was a day and a place you just had to enjoy – except you were looking for a logo of a well-known serial killer at his crime scene.

Jane ran so fast that Van Pelt and Lisbon had difficulties following him. Jane hadn't even had time to think about the fact that Red John would kill the person nearest to him, which was – definitely – Lisbon. 'Jane! Wait for us!' she shouted at the silhouette running and jumping over twigs, branches, tree snags and other plants, ignoring the beauty of nature.

Suddenly, he stopped, looking frightened around, like if someone was following him, then he continued running and stopped again, having arrived at crime scene.

'Somewhere here must be a smiley' he mentioned and the other two agents looked around.

'This is ridiculous' Van Pelt said. 'We would have seen it yesterday.'

'Found it' Jane yelled only five seconds later and pointed up a tree where a bloody smiley was crying at them.

'How did he make it up there?' Van Pelt asked.

'I assume his girlfriend can climb' Jane said and began to realize, what this actually meant.

Red John was back and Red John was stronger. He knew everything about Jane and Jane knew nothing about him. He could play with him, like seen in this example and he said that someone was going to die.

'Everything okay, Jane?' Lisbon asked who had noticed Jane's sudden turn of mood.

He nodded. 'He will kill you' he whispered to his best friend while Van Pelt was walking to the small hill to get a cell phone signal.

'What?...What?...No, I will never allow this. He may have threaten you but he won't do anything…not to me. He said—'

'A person who is important to me. You are the most important person of my life!'

'No, no, Jane' Lisbon told herself not to cry. She had always known that they were close to each other and that he might have developed feelings for her, but never she had thought that both Red John and Jane knew, that she was the most important person to his life.

'Jane, no! Red John doesn't know and you neither think-'

'I love you' Jane said suddenly and before Lisbon could realize what she had just heard, she slapped him.

They were both so much surprised over her reaction, that Lisbon couldn't do otherwise but fall into his arms and gave him the longest kiss she'd ever given someone.
