chapter two

And so, Van Pelt got past the blocks on Jane's computer, and he proceeded to download the instant messaging program.
The bleeping sounds the computer made whenever he got a new message amused Jane. But he switched his volume to mute after Van Pelt messaged him, pleading with him to. (That didn't work, so she bribed him with a bag of chips from the vending machine.)

It didn't take long for Jane to get bored of Rigsby and Van Pelt. Eventually, they both got a notification saying someone named "K-Cho" was requesting to be on their contact list.
Pretty soon, the whole office was typing away messages to one another.

Everyone that is, but Agent Lisbon. Sitting in her office tackling a stack of paperwork, Lisbon began to wonder why everybody seemed so cheerful.
Nobody was laughing, or smiling, or giggling, they were all hard at work.
But they seemed abnormally content as they sat at their computers. Usually on paperwork days, everyone was dull and blank. Why so warm today?
Not like there was anything wrong with being happy though, of course. It just made Lisbon curious.
Lisbon wanted to go out into the bullpen and investigate.
Wait, what was she thinking?
It was probably just the sunny weather, she told herself. Nothing out of the ordinary was up out there. Patrick Jane was rubbing off on her.
Besides, she had a stack of papers on her desk the size Mount Everest. Probably even taller.

K-Cho: What do you think Lisbon would do if she found out we were all chatting on our computers instead of working?

RIGSTER: Explode. Like Mt. Vesuvius.

gracievp: she is not a volcano.

RIGSTER: That's what the people in Pompee said. They died.

PlainJane: i believe it's Pompeii, rigsby.

K-Cho: They all thought it was a mountain. They raised sheep on it. And stuff.

gracievp: but our boss is not a mountain.

PlainJane: what if she was?

RIGSTER: That'd be one scary mountain.

PlainJane: i imagine it would be home to many vicious monsters.

K-Cho: It would have a big haunted mansion on top.

RIGSTER: With a creepy old lady living inside.

PlainJane: who had three eyes!

RIGSTER: and a pet dragon

K-Cho: And barbecued peoplefor dinner?

PlainJane: the three-eyed dragon-taming old lady's name would be teresa lisbon, of course.

Patrick Jane had been working with the CBI for two years, and not once had Lisbon seen him sit at his desk. Let alone turn on his computer. She just had to know what he was up to.

The consultant smiled one of his charming smiles as he noticed her approaching his desk. "Morning, Lisbon," he greeted cheerfully.
"Hey Jane. What are you up to?"
"Oh, just exploring the Internet. Technology is amazing nowadays. Did you know they cloned a cat in Switzerland?"
"Good for Switzerland."
"Yep. Oh, and check this out." Jane clicked on a link, and as a site popped up, Lisbon's and Jane's faces appeared on the screen.
"There's a website that lets you take pictures with the webcam on your computer," he chirped. "Then afterwards, you can add all sorts of amusing effects to it. Wanna see?"

Lisbon knew exactly what Jane was doing. He was going to snap a picture of her and then edit it into something horrible and email it to the whole city of Sacramento.
Ha, she wasn't going to fall for that.
"I have work to do, Jane."
"Well, alrighty then. Go back to your little Lisbon Lair."
"Ha ha. Don't visit any suspicious sites on your computer. You'll get viruses."
"I'm not going to look at pornography at work, Lisbon."

Lisbon raised her eyebrows and turned to leave. "Lisbon, wait!" Jane called after her.
She turned around, only to see the computer's webcam facing her and Jane pressing a button on his keyboard. A devilish smile spread across his face.
"Say cheese!"

Well, this chapter was slightly longer. But not by much. I'll try working on writing longer chapters. :P

What do you think? Reviews would be lovely. xxx

Oh, and the case is coming up. Just wait, aha.
