A/N My braces are sore! They got tightened yesterday and it hurts like hell! NZ has had alot of tsunami warnings because of the quake in Chile, if you get a map of the world and locate Chile, and then move anti clock wise, the next biggest place is New Zealand! We got surges along the east coast, but where I live (nelson) didn't get hit. Yay, which is good as my house is around 8 metres away from the water, and it was high tide this morning, lol, thought I would give you an insight on my life, anyways, read on...

Lisbon and Jane drove to Molly's house, they had taken her time table and she had no more lessons for the rest of the day. They pulled up to a small villa with SUVs in the drive. They weren't a posh family, but were well off. Lisbon got out of the car and went up to knock on the door but paused and turned around to Jane

'No funny business, ok, do what I say, and we are doing this ethically and legally, ok?'

'Yes Sir' he teased

Lisbon rolled her eyes, she didn't have time for his jokes, she turned around and knocked on the door to which a woman in her mid 40's answered

'Hello, can I help you?' she said

'I am agent Lisbon of the CBI and this is our consultant, Mr Patrick Jane, is your daughter home?' Lisbon said flashing her badge

'Yes, Molly, come here please' she called

Molly came up and rolled her eyes when she saw Lisbon and Jane

'Look, I already told those other cops everything I know' she said

'That's nice, Mrs?'

'Garret'

'Ok, Mrs Garret, where was your daughter on the night of Lillie's murder?'

'She went out for a walk at about 9.30, she said that she was meeting a friend, she didn't get back for a good hour' she said

'Ok, so she didn't watch TV home alone?'

'No, apparently Tuesday night TV is crap, I was watching it'

'Ok, may we talk to your daughter alone for a bit?'

'Of course'

Mrs Garret walked off as Lisbon's phone rang

'Lisbon, what is it Cho?'

'The phone came back, there are no workable fingerprints, but there is a lot from the victim and her friend, but the most recent ones type out the message that was sent post mortem, but they haven't come up on file'

'Ok, thanks Cho, keep working evidence'

'Will do' he said hanging up

Lisbon turned around to talk to Jane, but he and Molly had gone.

'Oh sweet Jesus' she muttered, she didn't like the fact neither of them were there, it meant bad news.

Mean while Jane was with Molly and was trying to pull the truth out of her

'Molly, an innocent girl has died and another is missing, where is Baker, and what happened to Lillie, we know you know something'

'Look, yea, so I was out, doesn't mean I went to see her'

'You were there, you were pissed with her, you took your fathers gun, and shot her, you then told Baker to not bother coming, and kidnapped her too, and set a ransom so high, you could use the money to get to a drama school, like Julliard, you gave yourself away because we had to know the truth about everything, that was a silly thing to do, you were never going to give Baker back, when you got the money, you would simply tie off loose ends' Patrick accused

'What, that's a lie' she stammered

'No, it's not, now, where is Baker?'

She glanced over towards the basement of her house

'She is in there, and one question, does your mom know about this?'

Molly shook her head

'Lisbon' he called 'I know where Baker is'

Lisbon, happy that she had found him came over

'She isn't in a, you know what, or anything?'

'No, but we are making a trip to the basement, oh and her mother knows nothing'

'You think Baker is in their basement?'

'Yea, basically Molly hated Lillie for killing Emily, and Baker knew about it, yet didn't do anything, she needed money, so she took Baker and was going to use her ransom for drama school, then was going to kill her, psycho or what?' he explained

'That girl had issues, mental issues' Lisbon said

'Should we ask for permission to go into the basement?' Jane asked

'Did, I just hear you right, you asked if we should do something, instead of barging through and doing it anyway, did you take your meds this morning?'

'Hmm come to think of it' he started

'Never mind, and yes, we should ask, we don't anymore legal matters, all it ends up being is paperwork for me to fill out, so thank you for asking'

'My pleasure, now, I suggest not saying that there is a missing school girl in your basement, I suggest saying that I dropped my phone down the grate to the basement and I need to retrieve it'

'You are making weird sense today, I am worried for you'

'Meh, I'm just thinking strategically, that's all'

'Mmhm'

'Mrs Garret' Lisbon said 'Mr Jane has dropped his phone down the grate to the basement, can he go get it?'

'Yes of course, here the basement is this way' she said leading them past a cabinet with guns in it

'Murder weapon' Jane whispered

Lisbon nodded

'Here you go' she said opening the door to the basement and turning on the light

They went in and walked around to the far end of the basement, but still couldn't see Baker.

'Are you sure she wasn't looking around anyway?' Lisbon asked

'Yes, she is in here, look behind stuff, look for any doors, like a sub basement or something' he said

They felt along the wall to see if there was anything that could lead away from the main basement. Just as they were heading back up, Jane heard a soft whimper coming from behind a small screen. he turned around and saw a petite brunette curled up in the corner with a gag over her mouth and tied up to the wall.

'Lisbon, I got her' he whispered

'Oh god, she is barely alive, feel her pulse' Lisbon exclaimed

Jane took her pulse which was tiny yet fast.

'She needs water, she has probably been down here a good week, Molly will give her scraps or something'

'Stop right there' Molly called from the bottom of the stairs, a gun in hand, she had shut the door

'Molly, put the gun down' Lisbon said getting her cell phone out and calling Grace

'No, I'm not going to jail, I have worked too hard for that to happen'

'Put the gun down, I will call back up and Grace Rigsby and Cho will get down here and be forced to take you down, I have my gun, and will shoot you if I need to'

'Oh, I wouldn't do that, I have 3 guns, Jason, Marcus, come' she called

Two thugs came out and joined her. Lisbon prayed that Grace could hear her

*

Grace sat at her desk and swung around on her chair, she was over her near miss, she had been scared at the time. She had that feeling in the pit of her stomach that something was horribly wrong. She heard her phone ringing, she answered it, but heard what was going on at the other end before she said anything.

'No, I'm not going to jail, I have worked too hard for that to happen' she heard Molly say

'Put the gun down, I will call back up and Grace Rigsby and Cho will get down here and be forced to take you down, I have my gun, and will shoot you if I need to' Lisbon had replied

'Oh, I wouldn't do that, I have 3 guns, Jason, Marcus, come' Molly said

She hung up and went over to Rigsby and Cho

'Molly has got 3 guns on them I think they found Baker, we gotta go, we are back up' Grace said

'Coming' they said getting up and driving to the address, hoping they weren't too late

A/N haha, thought I would leave you hanging, it also extends the story, so be happy =] I went driving again today, I didn't stall as well =] I want this to have at least 4 more chapters, I like story and I don't want it to end, I am also working on some oneshots, so look out for those. READ AND REVIEW!
