Here is Chapter 6- Takes place the night before after Jane leaves the headquarters. flashbacks and thoughts are in italic. BTW, the chip is a microchip, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for all the reviews. Hang in there, all will be revealed.
Patrick Jane walked as fast as he could out of the headquarters and into his car. He was going to have dinner at Gray Danko. Well it was more than dinner. He was waiting to meet someone. The kidnapper needed a male, lonely and unmarried and Jane was going to present him withthat package. He was now the bait. The only way to find Elizabeth alive was to get kidnapped and that is what he intended to do. He would trace Elizabeth's path from Gray Danko to Altone's. It was obvious that the kidnapper always picked his victims from North Beach and Jane was going to be there.
First he needed to look like he belonged on the beach. A three piece suit didn't work. So he had packed his blue jeans, that were stylishly scrapped at the knee, he also included a white tight t-shirt.
Every Saturday Patrick Jane wore his white t-shirt and his blue jeans and took his pregnant wife for a walk on the beach. She would smile at him as they watched the sunrise, their bare feet tucked warmly in the sand and the breeze of the ocean washed over their faces. However there was no walk on the beach this Saturday. There was a sense of panic.
"Pat, I think it's time." Alice looked at her husband with a smile.
One look at his wife's face and the wet floor underneath her feet and he knew he would soon be a father. Jane looked at his wife for a minute and then without hesitation lifted her off her feet and ran for the car. He had forgotten to wear shoes, but he was so excited that he didn't feel the hard gravel dig into his feet as he go into his car. He drove as fast as he could.
"I think you need to calm down, dear" Alice smiled as they pulled into the hospital parking lot. Patrick ran to the other side and lifted his wife out of the car again. His wife giggled joyfully every time he did that.
"Ma'am, my wife needs help. Now!" Jane yelled at a nurse in the hospital.
The nurse looked at the handsome man, holding on to his very happy wife. She looked down at his feet, they were bare, but worst they were bleeding.
"You are the weirdest couple I have seen. The happiest pregnant woman and your husband looks like he is about to die. I'll better get you a wheel chair before you break your back. Pregnant woman are heavy."
The three all laughed, and Patrick didn't feel as panicked.
The nurse returned with a wheel chair, a doctor, a set of bandages and a pair of shoes.
She bandaged Jane's feet and then handed him the shoes, while the doctor took Alice into another room. When the nurse was done, Jane jumped out of the chair and ran to be by his wife's side.
"Good Luck" the nurse yelled down the hall.
The last time Patrick Jane wore these clothes, he was the happiest man alive, and now he is the saddest.
Jane drove to Gary Danko and had an uneventful, but nice meal. He analyzed everyone, but nothing was out of the ordinary.
The walk along the beach to Altone'swas cold and quiet. There was no one there, which made Jane want to admit that perhaps it was a stupid plan. However before he could, he felt the sting of a mosquito to the back of his head. He disregarded it and continued to walk. However a few minutes later he felt very tired and fell to the ground. A dark figure came from behind and pinned his arm to the ground with a knife. Jane felt terrible pain, but was too tired to yell. He wanted to identify the attacker, but fatigue forced him to close his eyes.
And Darkness took over.
The next day at the headquarters, Lisbon had explained Jane's "stupid" plan to the team. He had left his ring, so he would appear as an unmarried man, thus perfect target. Lisbon explained that if Jane and Elizabeth were not found by tonight alive, there bodies would wash up at the beach in a few days.
"Boss, he is not answering his phone." Rigsby said after dialing Jane's number for the sixtieth time.
"Boss, there is no one by the name of Charles Barnaby in any of the data bases." Van Pelt declares,"It is like he was never born."
"Great. All the leads are dead ends. Everyone at Altone's and Gary Danko are clean and they have no motives. Now, our prime suspect turns out to be fictional." Lisbon slouches on her chair. "And Jane god knows where." suddenly she felt the urge to cry, but fought back the tears.
"Boss, take a look at this!" Cho tosses a book out of the book shelf toward his boss.
"The Pathological Entities of Loneliness" Lisbon reads the title,"So what? Jane read this book."
"Look at the author." Cho says pointing to the book cover.
"Charles Barnaby!" Lisbon is shocked,"Charles Barnaby is a pen name."
She flips frantically to the back cover and reads the description of the author, "Charles Barnaby is the pen name of Marian St. Clair, a psychologist from New York city." Van Pelt quickly types the new information into the computer.
"Eureka, Marian St. Clair is a former patient at a psychiatric institute in San Francisco. She pleaded insane after suffocating her husband with a pillow in 1997, since he was sleeping with another woman. She was previously a psychiatrist at N.Y.U. She was released two years ago."
"Two years ago! That is when the kidnapping started." Rigsby states as he walks toward Van Pelt.
"There is no address, but here is a picture." She turns her laptop to face the team.
There is the picture of Lady Warren's maid with white lilies in her hand.
"Ah, that's... that's the..." Lisbon is dumbfounded
"The maid." Rigsby finishes her sentence.
"How can she be the maid and the driver?" Van Pelt is confused
"A disguise!" All three agents reply at the same time.
"Does she have a sister? I want to know if the other maid is related to her." Lisbon explains
"Yes, Maria St. Clair, a schizophrenic patient, who gets monthly psychiatric drugs from the government." Van Pelt states.
"I think we are dealing with a team." Cho speaks up.
"She must have targeted Elizabeth and applied as a maid at the Warren residence." Lisbon clears a point.
"How do we find them? How do we find Jane?" Van Pelt asks in desperation.
"You said Maria is prescribed drugs. You need an address to get medication. Which pharmacy has her on record?" Lisbon asks.
After a few minute of searching, Van Pelt says, "The Hill Top Drugstore, on Main and 15th ave."
"Cho, lets go!" Lisbon orders, "Van Pelt, Rigsby find out what that chip is?"
So what do you guys think? Should I kill Jane or save him? oh Wow that feels weird, now i have the ability to control the faith of a character. (ADD EVIL LAUGH HERE) And I don't know what Elizabeth looks like so give me ideas about a 17 year old girl. Anyways Review pretty please. The drugstore doesn't exist in real life i made it up.
