FF ate some of the words in this, I've fixed that now. Sorry

Chapter - 2

The Kent-Wood Leisure Village was exactly how Jane had expected it to be. Towering greenery hung spectacularly over the brilliantly white walls. The high black metal railing gates were propped open ready to accept the usual crowd of high class members. Jane's eyes scanned each object he passed with the utmost precision. He ran his finger in circular motions around the smooth button of his waistcoat as they stepped carefully up the marble steps. He opened the large wooden door and stood back to allow Lisbon to enter first. Always the gentleman. He tapped the frosted glass in the door thoughtfully.

"Hm" He shrugged following Lisbon with a few hurried steps. A tall, slim woman with well styled, golden curls resting on her shoulders was stood ready to greet them. Judging by the redness around her eyes, and the fact that she was clutching her ring finger tightly; Jane came to the conclusion that this was the wife.

"Mrs Kent we're sorry for your loss," Lisbon began as they came to a halt before her.

"It's Wood, not Kent," she stammered. Jane raised his eyebrows with well timed surprise. Lisbon glanced nervously to him as the woman wiped the stream of tears now running down her face.

"So you're married but you kept your own name, interesting," Jane put his hands firmly in his pockets, swaying smugly on the balls of his feet, "Why is that?"

The woman held her arms out, as if to show off the building in which they were stood, "Kent-Wood, two families brought together by business"

"Kent-Kent doesn't have quite the same ring to it," Jane grinned cheekily, "How long have you been married?"

"I... I don't see what this has to do with my husbands murder"

"I never said he'd been murdered. Not many people know about your marriage do they?"

Beside him Lisbon began to feel incredibly uncomfortable. She hated when he did this. Though he usually got results. Nevertheless she couldn't have him rampaging through peoples lives like this. She had to stop him.

"No. Our families especially, have no idea"

Lisbon did a double take, she looked between Jane and Mrs Kent. Jane grinned widely. Result.

"Mind if we look around?" he asked.

"Feel free, the Kent-Wood Leisure Village's doors are wide open you and your people. Please... Find my husband... And find whoever did this," Mrs Kent raised the tissue once more to wipe away the tears rolling down her cheeks.

As they walked around the Village Jane continued to give Lisbon the silent treatment.

"I don't know what your game is Jane. But you'd better stop it," she said absent-mindedly as she popped her head into yet another massage room.

"Game? There's no game," he grinning striding off ahead of her. The sound of her phone ringing stopped her from pursuing him.

"Lisbon," she answered.

Jane continued his unprofessional way of investigating. He knew the point was drawing closer whereby Lisbon would tell him to behave, or else. Patrick wouldn't do anything that would result in Lisbon being fired. He'd step over lines, sure, but not so far over so as to cost Lisbon her job. Well, maybe, but she'd get it back eventually. The damage would never be permanent.

Jacket now thrown casually over his shoulder he checked inside every room he came to, none proved to be of any interest to him. His luck changed when he accidentally found himself in a sauna room, squinting through the heat that singed his eyebrows Jane could make out four men sat in white towels.

"Hello," he smiled.

"You're letting the heat out," a voice informed him lazily.

"Oh. Sorry," he grinned closing the door behind him.

Lisbon stormed down the front steps of Kent-Wood. She usually appeared calm and cool and collected. Right now, Theresa Lisbon felt neither of those things. She flustered and frustrated and worried out of her mind. She'd finished on the phone with Van Pelt only to find that Jane had gone missing. Lisbon had checked with every officer she encountered, not one of them had laid eyes on the untameable consultant. Outside she was greeted by Cho and Rigsby, "Have either of you two seen Jane?"

"We thought he was with you," Cho folded his arms sternly.

"Yeah, I thought he was too. Split up, we need to find him. If he's dead somewhere I'll never forgive myself; And if he's alive... I'll never forgive him"

The pair turned and left her stood alone. She watched their backs until they dipped out of sight around the buildings. She shook her head. It had been a stupid move to allow Jane to just swagger around on his own. That man could cause trouble in an empty room. She shuddered to think what was going to happen when he found people to annoy.

With a brave expression and a hand on her gun, Lisbon made her way back inside. Every door she came to she threw open with growing force. Lisbon burst into the next room only to find it, like the others, empty. She lowered her gun, yet again disappointed, and even more on edge. Where on earth could he be?

She was frustrated out of her mind. The next mangled heap of body parts she came across could be Jane's. She couldn't let that happen. It wasn't an option, however much he deserved it right now.

Lisbon kicked the next door almost off its hinges. She could make out figures inside.

"CBI nobody move!" she yelled aiming her gun at the figures. She squinted through the heat and was greeted by the most peculiar sight. Five men, donning white towels, lounging around casually as if they'd known each other for years. The pile of clothes at her feet and the familiar brown shoes made her want to jump on him and kill him, "Jane!" she cried.

"Oh. Hey Lisbon" Jane grinned leaning back, "Hey uh, You're letting the heat out there"
