Rigsby didn't get any hits with the first two of his nine. They were both warehouses where a large group of homeless men had gathered to sleep. All of them denied there ever being drug issues in the area, and frankly Rigsby had to believe it. His third was marked as a possible, when he rang the doorbell to the shack that was falling apart where he stood, and single man answered and immediately made a run for it. Rigsby made the arrest and transported him back to CBI where he found Van Pelt booking three more suspects.
"How are you getting more bad guys than me?" Rigsby asked playfully.
"Your growing soft Rigsby."
"Oh really?"
"Tell you what. I'll make you look good… lets team up and knock out the rest of our suspects tonight!"
"All twelve combined? Not gonna happen."
"Well with the way things are going for you right now, most of yours will be duds."
Rigsby grabbed his heart and stepped back dramatically "Ouch. That, hurt. But alas, you speak the truth. Sure lets team up."
Cho knew Jane was an asset to the CBI, and that he had his own methods of getting to the truth. But sometimes, he wished the guy would keep his mouth shut. When they reached the first address, Jane started in immediately when the suspect opened the door.
"Have you ever considered becoming an entrepreneur? It could really help you turn your life around."
"Jane-" Cho started before the suspect took a lunge at him. Cho cuffed the guy and ended up having to repeat the pattern with the next two suspects. Of the three suspects they had confronted, all three had gotten peeved at something Jane said and they tried something stupid. And Cho's car was getting pretty crowded with suspects pending charges on assault.
Lisbon had struck out. She was now on the fourth person on her list; one Lloyd Smith. She hoped her team was having better luck. Her phone rang,
"Hey boss."
"Van Pelt, how goes it?"
"Well my first three suspects are all liable suspects, so I've brought 'em in. Rigsby on the other hand… only one of his three were liable. So we teamed up and we've knocked out all eighteen suspects. Seven are good for this…"
"Including the first four." Rigsby added. There was some rustling as Van Pelt attempted to cover up the mouth piece of the phone
"No talking while driving! Focus on the road!"
"I just want her to know that whether or not we wouldn't have teamed up with would have had the same ratio of suspects-"
"Road!" Lisbon shook her head and rubbed her nose as she heard the two go on. Once Van Pelt was back on the phone she said,
"Great work you two. I've struck out on my first three and I may or may not go see my fourth tonight. I'll let you know. See you tomorrow."
"Night boss."
Lisbon made the choice to go home. She didn't want to know what kind of trouble Jane had made for Cho, and she made the decision to see Lloyd first thing in the morning, before she went in to work. She headed out.
