Alright here is the second chapter, I would have had it sooner but I'm in the middle of midterms. I want to thank everyone for the awesome reviews. So please tell me what you think of this chapter as well. As always I own nothing.

Chapter 2

"No you can apologize after we find her." Chief Vick interrupted.

"I feel the need to explain." I frowned.

"I don't need to hear it, whatever happened between the two of you is not my business." She tried again.

"We were engaged." I announced watching for Chief Vicks reaction, while still noticing Lassiter turn away from the conversation.

"Excuse me?" She stopped, I let her stare at me, "That's impossible." She whispered. Before turning to Lassiter for his reaction, he kept his head low unable to look her in the eyes. "That means…" I just nodded, "Your…"

"Yep." I tried my hardest to smile, but was interrupted when the rest of the team joined us in the conference room. "And I brought back up." At least I still sounded confident, I thought to myself looking to assure myself Lisbon was still okay.

"What do we know?" Lisbon asked looking from Lassiter, to Chief Vick, and ending on me and the letter still in my hand.

"She was taken while leaving work last night. Her husband said she never came home, and then we found the note on her car this morning." Lassiter filled them in seeming to have regained his composure.

"All the note says is he'll be in touch." I added, noticing Lisbon glancing at the letter. I hurriedly placed it in the inside pocket of my vest. No one seemed to argue.

"What does that mean?" Van Pelt asked, stilling looking at where the note disappeared.

"It means we wait." I whispered.

"We can't do nothing." Rigsby argued.

"You're absolutely right, how about we go look around her car." Lisbon decided, she knew as well as I did that we weren't going to find anything, but at least it was something to do.

Lassiter led the way, while Lisbon stayed behind seeing that I hadn't moved. "Come on, we'll find her Patrick." She whispered kissing the top of my head.

"I know," I was holding back tears, I couldn't cry here, "But what state will she be in when we find her?"

"Don't do this to yourself, not now, I need you here. We all need you here." She whispered running her hands through my hair.

"I'm not going anywhere." I promised, "I'm not leaving you." She didn't need to know that Red John had called her out in is letter. She had always known the risk of being with me and it would just worry her more, she didn't need that, not now.

"Jane!" "Spencer!" I looked up to see Cho and Lassiter exchanging glances, while still rushing into the room. Causing Lisbon to step back realizing she was practically on my lap.

"This was in the car." Cho handed me a cell phone, "There's a message for you."

"That phone wasn't in the car this morning, when we first looked." Lassiter added.

"Do you have surveillance of the parking lot?" Lisbon asked looking at the phone in my hands.

"Yes, but someone rerouted them to play on a loop, we tried to look at them this morning after we found the note." Lassiter explained, looking slightly embarrassed.

"He did the same thing when he killed Bosco." Lisbon frowned trying to make Lassiter feel a little better.

"Did you fix the problem after you found out about it?" I wondered still looking at the phone in my hand, afraid to open it.

"We'll go look at it." Cho nodded, leading Lassiter away. "Rigsby and Van Pelt are still going through the car." He added before closing the door behind him.

I was staring at the phone in my hand when Chief Vick came back, "What does the message say?" She wanted to know.

Glad to see that you made it to Santa Barbara safely

I read out loud looking at the message on the screen in front of me.

"That's all?" Lisbon frowned, looking over my shoulder.

"That's all." I confirmed.

"What does it mean?" Chief Vick asked.

"He's just playing with us." I closed my eyes and rested my head in my hands.

"What do you mean?" Chief Vick wanted to know.

"It's a game to him." Lisbon tried to explain, I remained silent, I needed to try and work this out.

"A game?" Chief Vick repeated, "Like Yin and Yang?"

"Worse." I whispered.

"Every time we get close, he's a step ahead of us." Lisbon sighed, "He's got moles everywhere, which makes him impossible to catch." As she finished speaking the phone in my hand started vibrating.

Hello Patrick,

The home is where the heart is

I read out loud.

"What does that mean?" Lisbon asked this time.

"I don't know." I admitted reading it again.

"There's nothing else in the car boss." Rigsby came in followed by Van Pelt.

"Where was your home here?" Lisbon asked, turning quickly.

"Um probably the psych office, I never slept at my actual home." I shrugged.

"Gee that sounds familiar." Rigsby smirked, causing Van Pelt to try and hold back a laugh.

"The psych office?" Lisbon asked.

"Where Gus and I opened our consulting business." I explained, "It's where the girls surf shop was from the last case." I added.

"Do you think he could mean there?" Van Pelt asked.

"Maybe, or he could mean my dad's house, that's where I was raised." I shrugged. "There's no way to know."

"Hey, boss, this is the guy that put the phone in the car." Cho and Lassiter dragged a young officer into the room and sat him down across the table from me.

"Where's Red John?" Lisbon asked, sitting in the chair next to me, the man just smiled.

"What does this message mean?" I needed to know, showing him the phone.

"Go home." The man laughed.

"Where is home?" I continued.

"How am I supposed to know where your home is." He just kept laughing.

"Lassiter take Cho and check out Henry Spencer's old house, and I'll get McNabb to take Rigsby and Van Pelt to the old Psych office." Chief Vick ordered, "I'm going to go make some phone calls."

"We'll stay here and wait for another text." Lisbon agreed. "Put this man in a holding cell, and keep him under surveillance we don't want him to end up dead." I sat and watched as everyone else left the room leaving Lisbon and I our own again. "Are you okay?" She turned her chair to look at me.

"I'm okay." I nodded, looking at the phone in my hand. "I'm going to try something." She looked at me more than a little concerned. I opened the phone and dialed the number that had sent me the texts.

"I've been waiting for your call Patrick." It was him, with his unsettling voice. "What took you so long?"

"Where are you?" I tried, and he just laughed.

"It's never that easy." I could almost here him smiling on the other end of the phone.

"How is Juliet?" I changed the question.

"She is enjoying your lovely home. How is Agent Lisbon?" He questioned in return.

"If you lay a hand on her I will kill you." I hissed through the phone.

"I've heard that before." He laughed.

"How long have you known?" I could feel Lisbon staring at me but I couldn't look at her.

"Not long at all actually, but I'll admit it took me longer than I would have liked to decide what I was going to do." He responded. "It was rather upsetting to know you had slipped that by me."

"Now you know how I feel." I started, "I don't know your real name, why should you be allowed to know my real name?"

"Oh that is a good point." He laughed again, it sent a chill up my spin. "It is good to be back here. I missed our banter." And that's when it hit me, I knew exactly where he was.

"I will kill you." I warned.

"As you wish." He was still laughing, and then just like that he was gone.

"I know where he is." I turned to Lisbon. "Lets go."
