Eppes Brothers

Charlie followed his brother into the CBI building, his eyes drifting around the room. He noticed a red haired girl sitting at her desk, staring at a worn brown leather sofa.

Don knocked on the office door. Teresa Lisbon was writing in black letters on the distorted glass.

"Come in," came a voice from inside.

Don obeyed, his strong, dashing agent façade in full swing. Lisbon sat behind her desk, her face pallid.

"I'm Special Agent Don Eppes, this is my brother Charlie."

Lisbon stood up, trying to look as calm as possible.

"Agent Lisbon." She replied as she shook Don's hand.

"We understand that you are in charge of Red John." Said Don as he noticed her flinch at the name "Well, he has killed two more people and the FBI have been called to help."

Lisbon still didn't reply.

"Agent Lisbon?" Don gave her a concerned look "Is something the matter."

"Yes," she paused "He has kidnapped one of us. Patrick Jane, a consultant."

"Patrick Jane the psychic?" asked Charlie, finally making his presence professional.

"Yes," replied Lisbon "He's um…" She broke into tears before she could finish. She mentally kicked herself for being unprofessional.

"Sorry,"

"No its fine." Don paused "What is Mr Jane's connection to Red John?"

"Red John killed his wife and child." Charlie continued.

Don gave his brother a surprised look.

"It was big news Don. Patrick Jane was quite famous." Charlie said as he looked at Lisbon fiddle with the ring on her finger.

"He's you fiancé!" said Charlie suddenly.

Lisbon nodded in response, her tears slowly beginning to subside.

"He received a letter from Red John saying that if I took my eyes off him. That Red John would take Jane and kill him." She paused "Then I received this letter today." She handed the piece of paper to Don.

"He was taken three hours ago. But no one saw a car leave the sage house. So how he got Jane out of there, we don't know."

"He may not have left." Said Don, stating the obvious in a way.

"That is the conclusion we have come to. We have asked for building plans to see if there are any basements that he could have taken Jane to."

Don nodded in understanding. He looked at his brother. He knew that Charlie had an idea of what Lisbon was going through. Seeing as Amita had been kidnapped not that long ago.

Jane once again felt the world plummet down on him like a tone of bricks. Pain was all his body felt, no fear, no worry, just pain.

"Hello Patrick Jane." Said Red John, the mocking tone was complete in his voice again.

"Your little CBI friends took the bait. They know you are still at the safe house. They just don't know where."

"Why are you telling me this?" said Jane as he spat out some blood from his mouth.

"No reason, oh and the FBI are involved. One man there I am particularly interested in. May bring him here to keep you company." Said Red.

"Who?" Jane demanded.

"Charlie Eppes." Red John said as he got up. Smirking at the helpless Jane on the flooded floor.

"The Math Genius?"

"Exactly, two great minds in the same room. Would make killing you a whole lot more interesting. Oh course I would have to kill him too. Can't kill you and not kill him too." Red Paused "Besides his brother is the head agent. All feds deserve to suffer."

Jane noticed that Red was moving again. A door slammed shut and Jane knew that he was alone in this cold, damp room. Him being blind folded made it even worse.

Red John left the safe house in his disguise. No one in the safe house would notice him leave. They were to worried about more people going missing. So he began to plan on how he was going to get Charlie Eppes. It wouldn't be easy. But he liked a challenge.
